(Adds comment from Freeport LNG) Oct 31 (Reuters) - U.S. federal regulators have told Freeport LNG to provide information needed for the planned restart of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant in Texas, the second-largest U.S. LNG export plant, as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for review. Freeport shut on June 8 due to a pipeline explosion. The company has said it expects the 2.1 billion cubic-feet-per-day plant to return to at least partial service in early- to mid-November. "We continue to progress our work towards achieving the November restart of our liquefaction facility," Freeport LNG spokesperson Heather Browne said in an email. "That work includes completing the final repair and restoration efforts, completing required work plans and obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals required before the facility's restart," Browne said.
