Yesterday FERC announced that it has rejected EPA’s request for cooperating agency status in the Weaver’s Cove LNG offshore berth proceeding. According to the Commission, the decision was based on EPA’s statements that the agency would not pledge not to release pre-decisional information related to the NEPA analysis of the project. FERC noted that if EPA modifies its position on this issue, the Commission will revisit its decision on EPA’s status in this proceeding. Find FERC’s decision in the eLibrary under Docket No. CP04-36.
