This week FERC rejected Senator Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.) request for a 45-day extension of the public comment period on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposed Jordan Cove LNG regasification terminal. The News Review (Roseburg, Ore.) reports that FERC Chairman Joseph Kelliher responded to the request by saying that the Commission “believe[s] that the 90-day comment period provides ample opportunity for public review,” and goes on to note that the Commission will accept late comments on the DEIS and will attempt to include them in the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The request is available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP07-444.
