Federal regulators still haven't decided whether to reconsider a developer's plan to build a liquefied natural gas terminal on Coos Bay.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission had until Feb. 19 to respond to requests to rehear Jordan Cove Energy Project's application. Instead of giving an up or down vote, the commission issued a tolling order.
"By issuing a tolling order, the Commission gives itself more time to review the arguments raised in the petitions for rehearing," wrote FERC spokeswoman Tamara Young-Allen in an e-mail. "The Commission may then, at its own discretion, render a decision when it is ready to do so."
There now is no deadline for FERC to make a decision, Young-Allen added.
