Sabine Pass now intends to operate its facility to export LNG on a short-term basis by holding cargos of imported LNG in their tanks for re-export as desired by their LNG shippers/ customers. Sabine Pass seeks to modify up to four 24-inch check valves on Unloading Arms A and D on the West and East Jetty Platforms in the marine portion of the Sabine Pass facility. No other facility modifications are required. On August 15, 2008, Sabine Pass’s affiliate, Cheniere Marketing, Inc. filed an application with the DOE—Fossil Energy seeking DOE–FE authorization to export LNG from Sabine Pass’s Cameron Parish facilities. Specifically, CMI has applied for blanket authorization to allow it to export up to 64 Bcf on a cumulative basis, of LNG that has been imported into the United States from foreign sources, for a two-year period. There will be no additional ship transits to the Sabine Pass facility as a result of the proposed export operations beyond the number anticipated for full utilization of the Sabine Pass Project as contemplated and authorized in the Letter of Recommendation and Waterway Suitability Report issued for the Sabine Pass Project. Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission’s rules, (18 CFR 157.9), within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission’s public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff’s issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s FEIS or EA. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission’s review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceeding for this project should file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM 04NON1
