Abstract: In order to move America
toward the goal of ensuring that every
student in every public school has
equitable access to excellent educators,
Secretary Duncan announced in July
2014 that the U.S. Department of
Education (Department) would ask each
State educational agency (SEA) to
submit a plan describing the steps it
will take to ensure that ‘‘poor and
minority children are not taught at
higher rates than other children by
inexperienced, unqualified, or out-offield teachers,’’ as required by section
1111(b)(8)(C) of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965
(ESEA) (hereinafter we use the term
State Plan to mean only State Plans to
Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent
Educators.). Title I, Part A of the ESEA
also requires a State educational agency
(SEA) that receives a Title I, Part A grant
to submit to the Secretary a plan,
developed by the SEA, in consultation
with local educational agencies,
teachers, principals, pupil services
personnel, administrators, other staff,
and parents (ESEA section 1111(a)(1)).
ED has developed the document titled
State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access
to Excellent Educators—Frequently
Asked Questions to assist SEAs with

The Office of Fossil Energy
(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE)
gives notice of receipt of an application
(Application), filed on May 13, 2014, by
Venture Global LNG, LLC (Venture
Global), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export
domestically produced liquefied natural
gas (LNG) in a volume up to 5 million
metric tons per year (mtpa), which is
equivalent to approximately 243.6
billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of
natural gas, or 0.67 Bcf per day. Venture
Global seeks authorization to export the
LNG by vessel from its proposed LNG
terminal to be constructed along the
Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron
Parish, Louisiana. Venture Global
requests authorization to export this
LNG for a 25-year term commencing on
the earlier of the date of first export or
seven years from the date the
authorization is granted.
In the portion of Venture Global’s
Application subject to this Notice,
Venture Global requests authorization to
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), and with
which trade is not prohibited by U.S.
law or policy. Venture Global requests
this authorization on its own behalf and
as agent for other entities who hold title
to the LNG at the time of export. The
Application was filed under section 3(a)
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).

The Application will be reviewed
pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15
U.S.C. 717b(a), and DOE will consider
any issues required by law or policy. To

exported, the adequacy of domestic
natural gas supply, U.S. energy security,
and the cumulative impact of the
requested authorization and any other
LNG export application(s) previously
approved on domestic natural gas
supply and demand fundamentals. DOE
may also consider other factors bearing
on the public interest, including the
impact of the proposed exports on the
U.S. economy (including GDP,

the U.S. balance of trade, and
international considerations; and
whether the authorization is consistent
