G. Langseth in the Northeast Atlantic
Ocean, June-July 2013,’’ prepared by
LGL Ltd., Environmental Research
Associates, on behalf of NSF and L–
DEO. The EA analyzes the direct,
indirect, and cumulative environmental
impacts of the planned specified
activities on marine mammals including
those listed as threatened or endangered
under the ESA. NMFS, after review and
evaluation of the NSF EA for
consistency with the regulations
published by the Council of
Environmental Quality (CEQ) and
NOAA Administrative Order 216–6,
Environmental Review Procedures for
Implementing the National
Environmental Policy Act, prepared an
independent EA titled ‘‘Environmental
Assessment on the Issuance of an
Incidental Harassment Authorization to
the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
to Take Marine Mammals by
Harassment Incidental to a Marine
Geophysical Survey in the Northeast
Atlantic Ocean, June to July 2013.’’
After considering the EA, the
information in the IHA application,
Biological Opinion, and the Federal
Register notice, as well as public
comments, NMFS has determined that
the issuance of the IHA is not likely to
result in significant impacts on the
human environment and has prepared a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). An Environmental Impact
Statement is not required and will not
be prepared for the action.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to L–DEO
for the take, by Level B harassment, of
small numbers of marine mammals
incidental to conducting a marine
seismic survey in the northeast Atlantic
Ocean, provided the previously
mentioned mitigation, monitoring, and
reporting requirements are incorporated.

administration, and navigation.
It is proposed that the hours
of availability at Lindy C. Boggs and
John H. Overton Locks on the J Bennett
Johnston Waterway (Red River) will
remain at the current schedule of 24
hours per day, 7 days per week, 365
days per year. It is also proposed that
the hours of availability at Lock 3,
Russell B. Long, and Joe D. Waggonner
locks will be reduced from the current
schedule of 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week, 365 days per year, to 20 hours per
day, as operated by the contractor, 7
days per week, 365 days per year. The
Inland Marine Transportation System
Level of Service Guidelines led to the
reduced hours of operation for Lock 3,
Russell B. Long, and Joe D. Waggonner
locks. The intended effect is to provide
lock availability that matches existing
lock usage. Pool levels will not be
affected by change of operating hours.

ACTION:
The Office of Fossil Energy
(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE)
gives notice of receipt of an application
(Application) filed on February 22,
2013, by Freeport-McMoRan Energy
LLC (FME), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export
liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced
from domestic sources in an amount up
to 24 million metric tons per year
(mtpa), which FME states is equivalent
to approximately 1,176 billion cubic feet
per year (Bcf/y) of natural gas, or 3.2 Bcf
per day (Bcf/d).1 FME seeks
authorization to export the LNG for a
30-year term from the proposed Main
Pass Energy HubTM Deepwater Port
(MPEHTM Port), to be located in federal
waters in Main Pass Block 299, 16 miles
offshore of Louisiana. In the portion of
FME’s Application subject to this

export LNG to any country with which
the United States does not have a free
trade agreement (FTA) requiring
national treatment for trade in natural
gas (non-FTA countries) with which
trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or
policy. FME requests that this
authorization commence on the earlier
of the date of first export or 10 years
from the date the authorization is
granted. FME requests this authorization
both on its behalf and as agent for other
parties who hold title to the LNG at the
time of export. The Application was
filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717b.
DATES: Protests, motions to intervene or
notices of intervention, as applicable,
requests for additional procedures, and
