The LNG would be exported from the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal (Sabine Pass) owned by 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 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:43 Oct 08, 2010 Jkt 223001 not prohibited by U.S. law or policy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Chevron is a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of business in San Ramon, California. Chevron Global Gas is a division of Chevron that engages in the global business of marketing and trading LNG. Chevron has contracted for 1.0 Bcf per day of terminal capacity from Sabine Pass for an initial term of twenty years that commenced in November 2004 with the option to extend the term for a period of twenty years. On July 14, 2010, DOE/FE Order No. 2813 granted Chevron blanket authorization to import the equivalent of up to 800 Bcf of natural gas from various international sources for a two year period beginning on August 1, 2010. Under the terms of the blanket authorization, LNG may be imported at any LNG receiving facility in the United States and its territories. Current Application In the instant application, Chevron requests blanket authorization to export up to 72 Bcf of previously imported LNG, on a cumulative basis, over a twoyear period beginning on the date the authorization is granted. Chevron requests that such authorization apply PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 to previously imported LNG to which Chevron holds title, and to previously imported LNG that Chevron may export on behalf of other parties that hold title to such LNG. Chevron is seeking authorization to export such previously imported LNG to any country with the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier and with which trade is not prohibited by Federal law or policy. Chevron does not request authority to export any domestically produced natural gas or LNG. The blanket export authorization requested by Chevron would be applicable to exports from the Sabine Pass terminal, owned by Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Chevron states that DOE/FE recently granted an authorization for exports from this terminal by another party 1 and has granted other authorizations under similar requests.2 Chevron states that there are no other proceedings related to this application currently pending before the DOE or any other federal agency. As background, Chevron states the request to export previously imported LNG is based on its desire to optimize long-term capacity it has contracted for at the Sabine Pass terminal by responding effectively to periodic changes in domestic and world markets for natural gas and LNG. More specifically, Chevron asserts it desires the option to either export previously imported LNG to other world markets, or regasify the imported LNG for sale in domestic markets. Chevron states that it would base any decision related to the sale of imported LNG on prevailing market conditions. Chevron asserts that it does not intend to export any LNG when market conditions dictate that the LNG be used to meet domestic needs. Public Interest Considerations In support of its application, Chevron states that pursuant to section 3 of the NGA, FE must authorize exports to a foreign country unless there is a finding that such exports ‘‘will not be consistent with the public interest.’’ 3 Chevron states that section 3 creates a statutory presumption in favor of approval of a properly framed export Application.4 1 Cheniere Marketing, LLC, FE 10–31–LNG, DOE/ FE Opinion and Order No. 2795 (June 1, 2010). 2 Freeport LNG Development, L.P., DOE/FE 08– 70–LNG, DOE/FE Order Nos. 2644 (May 28, 2009), 2644–A (September 22, 2009), and 2644–B (May 11, 2010); and ConocoPhillips Company, FE 09–92– LNG, DOE/FE Order No. 2731 (November 30, 2009). 3 15 U.S.C. 717b(a). 4 See Phillips Alaska Natural Gas Corp. and Marathon Oil Co., DOE/FE Order No. 1473, 2 FE¶70,317 at p. 13, n. 42 (April 2, 1999), citing Panhandle Producers and Royalty Owners E:\FR\FM\12OCN1.SGM 12OCN1
