businesses. Carib also states that as a
growing company, it will also be
creating jobs as its marketing and sale of
LNG to new markets increases its need
for additional sales and administrative
staff.
Carib states that because the requested
exports will have minimal effect on
domestic natural gas supply based on
current projections, and the DOE/FE has
retained the ability to address changes
in the domestic gas supply, if, in the
future, there are unexpected changed
circumstances, granting this Application
for the requested term is consistent with
the public interest.
Environmental Impact
Carib states that no modifications to
the Facility would be required in order
for it to export LNG, and accordingly,
under Categorical Exclusion B5.7 of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), approval of this Application
would not constitute a federal action
significantly affecting the human
environment within the meaning of
NEPA.

DOE/FE Evaluation
This export Application will be
reviewed pursuant to section 3(a) of the
NGA, as amended, and the authority
contained in DOE Delegation Order No.
00–002.00L (April 29, 2011) and DOE
Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04E
(April 29, 2011). In reviewing this LNG
export Application, DOE will consider
domestic need for the natural gas, as
well as any other issues determined to
be appropriate, including whether the
arrangement is consistent with DOE’s
policy of promoting competition in the
marketplace by allowing commercial
parties to freely negotiate their own
trade arrangements. Parties that may
oppose this Application should
comment in their responses on these
issues.
NEPA requires DOE to give
appropriate consideration to the
environmental effects of its proposed
decisions. No final decision will be
issued in this proceeding until DOE has
met its NEPA responsibilities.

may file a protest, comments, or a
motion to intervene or notice of
intervention, as applicable. Any person
wishing to become a party to the
proceeding must file a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention, as
applicable. The filing of comments or a
protest with respect to the Application

although protests and comments

received from persons who are not
parties will be considered in
determining the appropriate action to be

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

parties. If no party requests additional
procedures, a final Opinion and Order
