Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 194 / Thursday, October 6, 2011 / Notices
11–109–LNG. DOE/FE suggests that
electronic filers carefully review
information provided in their
submissions and include only
information that is intended to be
publicly disclosed; (2) e-mailing the
filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov with FE
Docket No. 11–109–LNG in the title
line; (3) mailing an original and three
paper copies of the filing to the Office
Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the
address listed in ADDRESSES; or (4) hand
delivering an original and three paper
copies of the filing to the Office of
Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the
address listed in ADDRESSES.
A decisional record on the
Application will be developed through
responses to this notice by parties,
including the parties’ written comments
and replies thereto. Additional
procedures will be used as necessary to
achieve a complete understanding of the
facts and issues. A party seeking
intervention may request that additional
procedures be provided, such as
additional written comments, an oral
presentation, a conference, or trial-type
hearing. Any request to file additional
written comments should explain why
they are necessary. Any request for an
oral presentation should identify the
substantial question of fact, law, or
policy at issue, show that it is material
and relevant to a decision in the
proceeding, and demonstrate why an
oral presentation is needed. Any request
for a conference should demonstrate
why the conference would materially
advance the proceeding. Any request for
a trial-type hearing must show that there
are factual issues genuinely in dispute
that are relevant and material to a
decision and that a trial-type hearing is
necessary for a full and true disclosure
of the facts.
If an additional procedure is
scheduled, notice will be provided to all
parties. If no party requests additional
procedures, a final Opinion and Order
may be issued based on the official
record, including the Application and
responses filed by parties pursuant to
this notice, in accordance with 10 CFR
590.316.
The Application filed by
ConocoPhillips is available for
inspection and copying in the Office of

The U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) announces its decision to
issue a $134 million loan guarantee
under Title XVII of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) to Abengoa
Bioenergy Biomass of Kansas, LLC
(Abengoa) for construction and start-up
of a cellulosic ethanol plant near
Hugoton, Kansas (Project). The
integrated biorefinery will use a
combination of biomass feedstocks,
such as corn stover and wheat straw, to
produce cellulosic ethanol and to
generate sufficient electricity to power
the facility. The Project site comprises
approximately 810 acres of row-cropped
agricultural land. The biorefinery
facilities will be developed on 385 acres
and the remaining 425 acres will
continue in agricultural use and act as
a buffer area between the biorefinery
and the Hugoton city limits. The
environmental impacts of the
construction and operation of this
project were analyzed pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the Proposed
Abengoa Biorefinery Project near
Hugoton, Stevens County, Kansas (DOE/
EIS–0407F) (Final EIS) (August 2010)
and in an associated Supplement
Analysis (DOE/EIS–0407/SA–1; July
2011), prepared by the DOE Office of
Energy Efficiency and Renewable
Energy (EERE) Golden Field Office. DOE
published a Record of Decision (ROD)
on January 12, 2011 (76 FR 2096) to
provide Federal funding under Section
932 of EPAct 2005 to Abengoa for the
Project. The project for which DOE
earlier provided funding under Section
932, with some modifications, is the
same project for which DOE is now
making a decision to issue a loan
guarantee under Title XVII of EPAct
2005. DOE Loan Programs Office
determined that the project analyzed in
the Final EIS and Supplement Analysis
