`gas (“LNG”) export terminal in Cameron County, Texas, along the north embankment of the
`Brownsville Ship Channel (the “Rio Grande LNG Terminal”). Concurrent with the RGLNG
`application, Rio Bravo Pipeline Company, LLC (“RBPL”) filed an application for authorization
`pursuant to Section 7(c) of the NGA to construct, own, and operate an associated pipeline system

`2019, FERC issued an order authorizing the construction and operation of the Rio Grande LNG
`Project.
