LNG Facility License Application

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued a Notice stating that, on January 30, 2006, Broadwater Energy LLC filed an application seeking authorization to site, construct, and operate an offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal and associated facilities (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit – FSRU) in Long Island Sound. If approved, the FSRU would be located approximately nine miles north of Long Island in New York State waters and would serve as a place of entry for importation of LNG. Also on January 30, Broadwater Pipeline LLC filed an application requesting a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to construct, own, operate, and maintain a 30-inch diameter, 22-mile long subsea lateral single-use pipeline to connect the FSRU to a subsea interconnection with an existing interstate pipeline. Comments on these applications should be submitted by March 10. 71 Fed. Reg. 9807 Source: HK Law
