The use of tested energy consumption data is not sufficient due to the potentially wide range of conditions found in households and businesses using these appliances, referred to here as ‘‘the field’’, that are not encountered under test conditions. Moreover, field metering will allow DOE to determine energy consumption of appliances that have not yet been regulated.

Marketing, LLC (CMI), requesting blanket authorization to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) that previously had been imported into the United States from foreign sources in an amount up to the equivalent of 500 Billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas on a short-term or spot market basis. The LNG would be exported from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal owned by CMI’s affiliate, Sabine Pass LNG, L.P., in Cameron Parish, Louisiana to any country with the capacity to import LNG via oceangoing carrier and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy, over a two year period commencing on the date of the authorization. In addition, CMI requests that FE vacate the blanket authorization issued in DOE/FE Order 2651 on June 8, 2009, requesting the export of previously imported LNG, as amended by Order 2651–A on July 31, 2009, (Orders 2651 and 2651–A) effective on the date of the proposed authorization. The proposed authorization will supersede CMI’s current authorization. The application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (15 U.S.C. 717b), as amended by section 201 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102–486) and part 590 of DOE’s regulations, 10 CFR part 590 (2009). Protests, motions to intervene, notices of intervention, and written comments are invited.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background CMI is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in Houston, Texas. CMI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (Cheniere Energy), which is also a Delaware corporation with its primary place of business in Houston, Texas. Cheniere Energy is a developer of LNG import terminals and natural gas pipelines on the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the Sabine Pass LNG terminal. On June 8, 2009, FE granted CMI blanket authorization to export on its own behalf or as agent for others LNG that previously had been imported from foreign sources in an amount up to the equivalent of 64 Bcf of natural gas on a cumulative basis. The authorization permitted such exports on a short term or spot market basis from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal to the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Japan, South Korea, India, China, and/ or Taiwan over a two-year period commencing on the date of the authorization. On July 31, 2009, the authorization was amended to reflect a name change from Cheniere Marketing, Inc to Cheniere Marketing, LLC.1 On January 23, 2009, FE granted CMI blanket authorization to import LNG from various international sources for a two-year term beginning on January 29, 2009.2 Under the terms of the blanket authorization the LNG may be imported at any LNG receiving facility in the United States and its territories. Current Application In the instant application, CMI is seeking blanket authorization to export from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal LNG that has been previously imported from foreign sources to any country with the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or over a twoyear period, on a short-term or spot market basis, in an amount up to the equivalent of 500 Bcf of natural gas. CMI is also concurrently seeking to vacate Order 2651, as amended by Order 2651– A since the proposed authorization will supersede its current authorization. CMI states that no additional physical modifications to the Sabine Pass LNG terminal are required to accommodate the export authorization requested. 1 Cheniere Marketing, LLC, DOE/FE Order Nos. 2651 and 2651–A, issued June 8, 2009 and July 31, 2009 respectively. 2 Cheniere Marketing LLC, DOE/FE Order No. 2606 issued January 23, 2009.
