participants that, each year, evaluate the
training as benefiting them in increasing
their qualifications and skills in meeting
the needs of disadvantaged students;
and the percentage of Training Program
participants that, each year, evaluate the
training as benefiting them in increasing
their knowledge and understanding of
the Federal TRIO Programs. All grantees
will be required to submit an annual
performance report documenting their
success in training personnel working
on TRIO-funded projects, including the
average cost per trainee and the trainees’
evaluations of the effectiveness of the
training provided. The success of the
Training Program also is assessed on the
quantitative and qualitative outcomes of
the training projects based on project
evaluation results.
5. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
whether the grantee has expended funds
in a manner that is consistent with its
approved application and budget; and,
if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application.
In making a continuation grant, the

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[FE Docket No. 15–168–LNG]
Flint Hills Resources, LP; Application
for Long-Term, Multi-Contract
Authorization To Export Liquefied
Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade
Agreement Nations
Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.
Notice of application.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Office of Fossil Energy
(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE)
gives notice of receipt of an application
(Application), filed on November 5,
2015, by Flint Hills Resources, LP (Flint
Hills), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export
domestically produced liquefied natural
gas (LNG) primarily by use of approved
ISO IMO7–TVAC–ASME LNG (ISO)
containers transported on ocean-going
carriers to any country with which the
United States does not have a free trade
agreement (FTA) requiring national
treatment for trade in natural gas, and
with which trade is not prohibited by
U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries).1
Flint Hills seeks authorization to export
the LNG in a volume equivalent to
approximately 3.62 billion cubic feet of
natural gas per year (Bcf/yr) (0.01 Bcf
per day), which it states is
approximately 120,000 gallons of LNG
per day. Flint Hills seeks to purchase
the LNG for export from a LNG
liquefaction facility owned by Stabilis
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
1 In the Application, Flint Hills also requests
authorization to export LNG to any nation that
currently has, or in the future may enter into, a FTA
requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas,
and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law
or policy (FTA countries). DOE/FE will review that
request for a FTA export authorization separately
pursuant to NGA section 3(c), 15 U.S.C. 717b(c).

LNG Eagle Ford, LLC (Stabilis Facility),
located in George West, Texas.2
According to Flint Hills, the Stabilis
Facility has the capacity to produce
120,000 gallons of LNG per day and to
store approximately 270,000 gallons of
LNG. Flint Hills states that the Stabilis
Facility is currently operational and can
accommodate both ISO container
loadings and tanker truck loadings.3
Flint Hill therefore asserts that no
additional plant infrastructure will be
required as a result of the proposed
exports. Flint Hills requests the
authorization for a 20-year term to
commence on the earlier of the date of
first commercial export or a date three
months from the issuance of a final
order granting the requested
authorization. Flint Hills seeks to export
this LNG 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 of
the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional
details can be found in Flint Hills’s
Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web
site at: https://energy.gov/sites/prod/
files/2015/11/f27/15_168_lng%20fta_
nfta.pdf. Protests, motions to intervene,
notices of intervention, and written
comments are invited.
DATES: Protests, motions to intervene or
notices of intervention, as applicable,
requests for additional procedures, and
written comments are to be filed using
procedures detailed in the Public
Comment Procedures section no later
than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, April 18,
2016.

3 Flint Hills states that it generally intends to use
ISO containers to export LNG. Under this scenario,
the ISO containers will be trucked to a port or dock
located along the Gulf Coast, where the containers
will be loaded onto a barge or ship for delivery to
non-FTA countries. If Flint Hills uses tanker trucks,
it will truck LNG from the Stabilis Facility directly
to a bulk transport barge, ship, or floating storage
container for distribution to customers in both FTA
and non-FTA countries. App. at 4–5. Appendix A
of the Application contains a list of ports from
which Flint Hills may export LNG.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DOE/FE Evaluation
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
the extent determined to be relevant,
these issues will include the domestic
need for the natural gas proposed to be
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,
consumers, and industry), job creation,
the U.S. balance of trade, and
international considerations; and
whether the authorization is consistent
with DOE’s policy of promoting
competition in the marketplace by
allowing commercial parties to freely
negotiate their own trade arrangements.
As part of this analysis, DOE will
consider the following two studies
examining the cumulative impacts of
LNG:
• Effect of Increased Levels of
Liquefied Natural Gas on U.S. Energy
Markets, conducted by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration upon DOE’s
request (2014 EIA LNG Export Study); 4
and
• The Macroeconomic Impact of
Increasing U.S. LNG Exports, conducted
jointly by the Center for Energy Studies
at Rice University’s Baker Institute for
Public Policy and Oxford Economics, on
4 The 2014 EIA LNG Export Study, published on
Oct. 29, 2014, is available at: https://www.eia.gov/
