Notice of Dates and Locations for Public Comment Meetings on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation Alaska LNG Project

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will be present to receive comments on the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Alaska LNG Project (Project) as follows:

Other federal agency representatives may also be in attendance and available to answer questions about their respective roles and reviews. Each comment meeting is scheduled from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Alaska Daylight Time). However, staff may conclude the meeting early if all individuals who wish to provide comments have had an opportunity to do so.

The primary goal of the public comment meetings is to have you identify specific environmental issues and concerns with the draft Environmental Impact Statement. All verbal comments will be recorded by a Court Reporter and become part of the public record for these proceedings. Transcripts of all comments from the meetings will be publicly available on FERC's website ( www.ferc.gov ) through our eLibrary system. It is important to note that written comments mailed to the Commission and those submitted electronically are reviewed by staff with the same scrutiny and consideration as the verbal comments given at the public comment meetings. Therefore, you do not need to attend a meeting in order for your comments to be considered.

The Bureau of Land Management will hold public subsistence hearings and solicit public testimony in two additional potentially affected communities as a part of its consideration under Section 810(a) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The Bureau of Land Management will conduct those hearings at the following locations and times:
