MS HC52

Urges the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to extend authorization for the Gulf LNG Liquefaction Project located at the Port of Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi.

Notes that the existing Gulf LNG Terminal is fully operational, employs 22 people, and is owned by a holding company controlled by Kinder Morgan, Thunderbird, Zenith, and Chatham.

States that Gulf LNG and Gulf Liquefaction filed an export project application with FERC in 2015 but have not yet signed meaningful contracts with off-takers or achieved final investment decision (FID).

Identifies advantages of the project as a brownfield development, including use of existing infrastructure, minimized construction risks, successful environmental permitting track record, and favorable Gulf of Mexico building environment.

Requires distribution of the resolution to FERC members, the President, Congress leadership, Mississippi's congressional delegation, and the Capitol Press Corps.
