Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 109 / Thursday, June 6, 2013 / Notices
DOE/FE Evaluation
The Application will be reviewed
pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15
U.S.C. 717b(a), 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
any issues required by law or policy. To
the extent determined to be relevant or
appropriate, these issues will include
the impact of LNG exports associated
with this Application, and the
cumulative impact of any other
application(s) previously approved, on
domestic need for the gas proposed for
export, adequacy of domestic natural
gas supply, U.S. energy security, and
any other issues, including the impact
on the U.S. economy (GDP), consumers,
and industry, job creation, U.S. balance
of trade, international considerations,
and 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 address
these issues in their comments and/or
protests, as well as any other issues
deemed relevant to the Application.
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 environmental responsibilities.
Due to the complexity of the issues
raised by the Applicant, interested
persons will be provided 60 days from
the date of publication of this Notice in
which to submit comments, protests,
motions to intervene, notices of
intervention, or motions for additional
procedures.

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
will not serve to make the commenter or
protestant a party to the proceeding,
although protests and comments
received from persons who are not
parties will be considered in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken on the Application. All protests,
comments, motions to intervene, or
notices of intervention must meet the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

requirements specified by the
regulations in 10 CFR Part 590.
Filings may be submitted using one of
the following methods: (1) emailing the
filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov with FE
Docket No. 13–26–LNG in the title line;
(2) mailing an original and three paper
copies of the filing to the Office Natural
Gas Regulatory Activities at the address
listed in ADDRESSES; or (3) 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. All filings
must include a reference to FE Docket
No. 13–26–LNG.
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.
