Executive Summary [Excerpted from
the 2013 Annual Plan]
This 2013 Annual Plan is the seventh
research plan for the Ultra-Deepwater
and Unconventional Natural Gas and
Other Petroleum Resources Research
Program since the launch of the program
in 2007.
This plan reflects the program’s focus
on safety and environmental
sustainability that was initiated in the
2011 plan, and is consistent with the
President’s Office of Management and
Budget directive for research that has
significant potential public benefits.
Onshore, research on Unconventional
Resources focuses on protecting
groundwater and air quality,
understanding rock and fluid
interactions, and integrated
environmental protection, including

water treatment technologies and water
management. For small producers, the
program focuses on extending the life of
mature fields in an environmentally
sustainable way.
Offshore, research on Ultra-Deepwater
emphasizes improved understanding of
systems risk, reducing risk through the
acquisition of real-time information, and
reducing risk through the development
of advanced technologies.
The research activities described in
this plan will be administered by the
Research Partnership to Secure Energy
for America (RPSEA), which operates
under the guidance of the Secretary of
Energy. RPSEA is a consortium which
includes representatives from industry,
academia, and research institutions. The
expertise of RPSEA’s members in all
areas of the exploration and production
value chain ensures that the Department
of Energy’s research program leverages
relevant emerging technologies and
processes, and that project results will
have a direct impact on practices in the
field.

Commission
[Docket No. CP13–504–000]
UGI LNG, Inc.; Notice of Application
On June 17, 2013, UGI LNG, Inc. (UGI
LNG) filed a request pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, and Part 157
of the Rules and Regulations of the
Commission. UGI LNG seeks
authorization to construct additional
refrigeration capacity at an existing
liquefaction plant at its Temple
liquefied national gas storage facility
located in Ontelaunee Township, Berks
County, Pennsylvania. As more fully
described in the application, the new
facilities would improve the capability
and operational efficiency of the facility.
UGI LNG requests authority by
December 31, 2013 to allow the
upgraded facility to commence
operation by the Fall of 2014.
Questions regarding this application
may be directed to Frank H. Markle,
Counsel for UGI LNG, by calling 610–
768–3625, or by emailing
marklef@ugicorp.com.

within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review (NSER). If a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date
for the Commission staff’s issuance of
the final environmental impact
statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal.
The filing of the EA in the
Commission’s public record for this
proceeding or the issuance of a NSER
will serve to notify federal and state
agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
seven copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Protests will be considered by the
Commission in determining the
