On August 5, 2015, the FERC issued a Notice of Extension of Time (to file Comments), which extended the scoping period to September 4, 2015. The FERC staff held public scoping meetings in Raymondville, Port Isabel and Kingsville, Texas, to solicit verbal and written comments from the community concerning the Rio Grande LNG and Rio Bravo Pipeline Projects (collectively, the RG Project). In addition, numerous written comments were filed in the above-referenced docket prior to the close of the scoping period on September 4, 2015. The period from July 23, 2015 to September 4, 2015 is herein after the FERC Scoping Period. Pursuant to 18 C.F.R. 157.21(f)(9) (2015), responses to the scoping comments were due within 14 days of the end of the FERC Scoping Period, i.e., by September 18, 2015 (the Response Deadline). Rio Grande LNG, LLC and Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC (collectively, the RG Developers) timely requested, for good cause shown, that the FERC extend the Respond Deadline to September 30, 2015 under FERCs Rule 2008 (18 C.F.R. 385.2008(a)). Good cause existed for such extension because of the large number of comments received on the last day of the FERC Scoping Period and the 14-day response period was an inadequate amount of time to prepare accurate and meaningful responses to all the concerns raised during the FERC Scoping Period. RG Developers hereby respectfully submit the following information in response to the comments submitted during the FERC Scoping Period: (1) Responses to Issues Raised in Docket No. PF15-20-000 during the FERC Scoping Period; and Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP is a limited liability partnership registered under the laws of Texas. 41916583.3 Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, Norton Rose ...
