# FERC Schedules Corpus Christi LNG Project Scoping

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 4 Project and the Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline Expansion Project, identified by docket numbers CP26-82-000, CP26-87-000, and CP18-513-000. A public scoping session is scheduled for October 6, 2026, at the Portland Community Center in Portland, Texas, to collect oral comments on the draft EIS. Written comments will be accepted through November 9, 2026. This environmental review phase is a critical step in the permitting process and offers contractors, environmental consultants, and other stakeholders an opportunity to influence project development and compliance requirements.

- **Why this matters:** Procurement professionals and contractors involved in energy infrastructure should prepare to engage in the environmental review process to understand forthcoming project requirements and potential impacts on contract scopes.
- The public scoping session and comment period provide a platform to address environmental considerations that may affect project timelines and specifications.
- Companies specializing in environmental consulting, permitting, and construction services may find upcoming contracting opportunities related to the LNG liquefaction and pipeline expansion projects.
- Early engagement can help stakeholders anticipate regulatory conditions and align proposals with FERC’s environmental expectations.
