Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 109 / Thursday, June 8, 2017 / Notices
in a volume equivalent to approximately
657.5 Bcf/yr of natural gas for a term of
20 years to commence on the earlier of
the date of first commercial export or
seven years from the date that the Order
is issued.
Concurrently with this Record of
Decision, DOE/FE is issuing Order No.
4028, in which it finds that the
requested authorization has not been
shown to be inconsistent with the
public interest, and that the Application
should be granted subject to compliance
with the terms and conditions set forth
in the Order, including all terms and
conditions described by MARAD in its
ROD and/or imposed in MARAD’s
forthcoming deepwater port license for
Delfin. Additionally, DOE/FE’s
authorization is conditioned on Delfin’s
receipt of all connected local, state, and
federal permits (including FERC’s
authorization under Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act for the Delfin Onshore
Facility), and on Delfin’s on-going
compliance with any other preventative
and mitigative measures imposed by
other federal or state agencies.
Floodplain Statement of Findings
DOE prepared this Floodplain
Statement of Findings in accordance
with DOE’s regulations, entitled
‘‘Compliance with Floodplain and
Wetland Environmental Review
Requirements’’ (10 CFR part 1022). The
required floodplain assessment was
conducted during development and
preparation of the EIS (see Sections
4.11.1 of the EIS). The EIS determined
that the proposed Delfin Onshore
Facility site is classified as having a 1percent-annual-chance of flooding.
While the placement of these facilities
within floodplains would be
unavoidable, DOE has determined that
the current design for the Delfin
Liquefaction Project minimizes
potential harm to or in the floodplain to
the extent practicable.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 1, 2017.
Jarad Daniels,
Acting Assistant Secretary, Office of Fossil
Energy.

Basis of Decision
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
DOE’s decision is based upon the
analysis of potential environmental
impacts presented in the EIS, and DOE’s
determination in Order No. 4028 that it
has not been shown that Delfin’s
proposed exports will be inconsistent
with the public interest, as is required
to deny Delfin’s Application under NGA
section 3(a). Although not required by
NEPA, DOE/FE also considered the
Addendum, which summarizes
available information on potential
upstream impacts associated with
unconventional natural gas activities,
such as hydraulic fracturing.
Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission

Mitigation
As a condition of its decision to issue
Order No. 4028, DOE is imposing
requirements that will avoid or
minimize the environmental impacts of
the proposed Liquefaction Facility.
These conditions include the Best
Management Practices, mitigation
measures, and conditions in the
MARAD ROD and forthcoming
deepwater port license. Mitigation
measures beyond those included in
Order No. 4028 that are enforceable by
other Federal and state agencies are
additional conditions of Order No. 4028.
With these conditions, DOE/FE has
determined that all practicable means to
avoid or minimize environmental harm
from the Delfin Liquefaction Project
have been adopted.
