FERC Schedules Hawaii Scoping Sessions for Longboard LNG Review

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) will conduct public scoping sessions on November 18 in Honolulu and November 19 in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, for its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review of the Longboard LNG Project, identified in Docket PF26-10-000. The sessions are part of the commission’s process for identifying environmental issues and alternatives to consider in its review. They are public-input events—not procurement briefings, vendor-networking sessions, or announcements of a contract award.

Participants may provide oral comments at the sessions on environmental issues and alternatives relevant to the project. Stakeholders that plan to submit written input should observe the stated deadline: November 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. As of October 29, the deadline is 29 days away. Because the cutoff is specified in Eastern Time, Hawaii-based participants and other commenters should account for the time difference when preparing and filing submissions.

For GovCon firms, the sessions may provide useful context on the environmental-review scope and the issues that could shape project permitting and infrastructure planning. LNG, environmental, permitting, and infrastructure companies can use the public process to understand topics under review and submit relevant environmental comments. That activity should not be confused with a request for proposals or another opportunity to compete for work: the supplied information identifies no solicitation, procurement schedule, or award.

Longboard TerminalCo, LLC, the project proponent, will be available for project-specific questions, according to the source notice. Its participation can help attendees direct questions about the project, but does not change the sessions’ public-scoping purpose or indicate a vendor opportunity. Contractors tracking energy infrastructure activity should treat the meetings as regulatory and stakeholder-engagement milestones, monitor the docket for review developments, and keep any procurement assumptions separate from the environmental process.
