In a letter responding to a motion filed by Clean Ocean Action requesting that FERC deny the onshore gas pipeline associated with the Liberty LNG deepwater port proposal, Liberty LNG argues that the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), not FERC, should make the determination as to the legal significance of Gov. Chris Christie’s (R-N.J.) announcement that he will oppose the Liberty LNG project. Liberty LNG’s response is available in the FERC eLibrary under Docket No. CP11-10.
