The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on February 24, 2015, by Floridian Natural Gas Storage Company, LLC (Floridian), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced from domestic sources at its proposed liquefaction and storage facility to be constructed and operated in Martin County, Florida (Floridian Facility). Floridian requests authorization to export this LNG to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries).\1\ Floridian seeks to export the LNG in a volume equivalent to approximately 14.6 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (0.04 Bcf per day (Bcf/d)), less the portion of that volume that may be under firm contract directly or indirectly to Carib Energy (USA) LLC (Carib).\2\ According to Floridian, the LNG will be delivered to its customers in approved ISO IMO7/TVAC-ASME LNG (ISO) containers.\3\ Floridian's customers (or their customers) will take delivery of the ISO containers, which the customers will transport via truck to the ports which will be the points of export (including the Port of Palm Beach, Port Everglades, Port of Miami, Port Canaveral, Port of Tampa, Port Manatee, and Port of Jacksonville, Florida). Upon arrival by truck at the point of export, the ISO containers will be loaded onto ocean- going marine vessels for transport to the destination countries. Floridian requests the authorization for a 20-year term to commence on the earlier of the date of first export or five years from the date the authorization is granted. Floridian seeks to export this LNG on its own behalf and as agent for other entities who hold title to the LNG at the time of export. The Application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional details can be found in Floridian's Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at: https://www.energy.gov/ fe/downloads/floridian-natural-gas-storage-company-llc-fe-dkt -no-15-38- lng.

Document Number: 2015-19326
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-08-06
Agency: Aging Administration, Environmental Protection Agency
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announces a pilot test of the International Trade Data System (ITDS) involving the electronic submission of data related to importations of fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops regulated by AMS, using the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set component of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The submission of this information is required under Sec. 608e (section 8e) of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. The pilot program will test the electronic transmission of AMS data through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP's) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) program known as the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set. This data will be transmitted for review by AMS' Compliance and Enforcement Management System (CEMS). CBP's PGA Message Set enables importers and brokers to electronically transmit data required by AMS directly to ACE. This electronic process will replace the paper-based process currently used. This notice also invites importers and brokers who are importing commodities subject to section 8e regulations to request participation in this AMS pilot and invites public comment on any aspects of the pilot.

Three additional changes are being made to reflect current practices and update the Order and regulations. The changes will contribute to effective administration of the program and were unanimously recommended by the Council.

Document Number: 2015-19318
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-08-06
Agency: Farm Service Agency, Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (hereinafter the Service or we) proposes to establish annual hunting regulations for certain migratory game birds for the 2016-17 hunting season. We annually prescribe outside limits (frameworks) within which States may select hunting seasons. This proposed rule provides the regulatory schedule, announces the Service Migratory Bird Regulations Committee and Flyway Council (SRC) meetings, describes the regulatory alternatives for the 2016-17 duck hunting seasons, and requests proposals from Indian tribes that wish to establish special migratory game bird hunting regulations on Federal Indian reservations and ceded lands. Migratory game bird hunting seasons provide opportunities for recreation and sustenance; aid Federal, State, and tribal governments in the management of migratory game birds; and permit harvests at levels compatible with migratory game bird population status and habitat conditions.

Taking and Importing Marine Mammals; Taking Marine Mammals Incidental to Northeast Fisheries Science Center Fisheries Research; Correction
Document Number: 2015-19310
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2015-08-06
Agency: Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, Economic Research Service
This document contains corrections to the preamble to the proposed regulations published on July 9, 2015, that would establish a framework for authorizing the take of marine mammals incidental to the NEFSC's fisheries research activities in the Atlantic coast region for a five-year period, 2015-2020. This action is necessary to correct errors in the estimates presented for Level B harassment of northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus), dwarf sperm/pygmy sperm whales (Kogia spp.), bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), and harbor seals (Phoca vitulina). This action also corrects errors in the mortality estimates presented for gray seals (Haliochoerus grypus) and harbor seals. The Federal Register proposed rule indicated that written comments were due by August 10, 2015, which allowed 30 calendar days for public input. NMFS has decided to extend the public comment period by 7 calendar days, to August 17, 2015, which allows a total of 37 days for public input.
