DOE/FE Evaluation amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES The portion of the Application seeking authority to export LNG on a short-term basis to non-FTA countries 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. In reviewing this Application, DOE will consider domestic need for the natural gas, as well as any other issues determined to be appropriate, including 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. As part of this analysis, DOE will consider the following two studies examining the cumulative impacts of exporting domestically produced 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) 1 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 behalf of DOE (2015 LNG Export Study).2 Additionally, DOE will consider the following environmental documents: • Addendum to Environmental Review Documents Concerning Exports of Natural Gas From the United States, 79 FR 48132 (Aug. 15, 2014); 3 and • Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Perspective on Exporting Liquefied Natural Gas From the United States, 79 FR 32260 (June 4, 2014).4 Parties that may oppose this Application should address these issues and documents in their comments and/ or protests, as well as other issues deemed relevant to the Application. 1 The 2014 EIA LNG Export Study, published on Oct. 29, 2014, is available at: https://www.eia.gov/ analysis/requests/fe/. 2 The 2015 LNG Export Study, dated Oct. 29, 2015, is available at: https://energy.gov/sites/prod/ files/2015/12/f27/20151113_macro_impact_of_lng_ exports_0.pdf. 3 The Addendum and related documents are available at: https://energy.gov/fe/draft-addendumenvironmental-review-documents-concerningexports-natural-gas-united-states. 4 The Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Report is available at: https://energy.gov/fe/life-cyclegreenhouse-gas-perspective-exporting-liquefiednatural-gas-united-states. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:26 Feb 28, 2018 Jkt 244001 The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., requires DOE to give appropriate consideration to the environmental effects of its proposed decisions. FLEX states that no new construction or changes to the Liquefaction Project facilities will be required for the shortterm exports requested in the Application. No final decision will be issued in this proceeding until DOE has met its environmental responsibilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Change in Control

    As noted, Pieridae US filed two related Notices of Change in 
Control in the above-referenced docket under section 3 of the NGA, 15 
U.S.C. 717b. In the first Notice filed on May 21, 2017,\1\ Pieridae US 
asserted that: (i) It is wholly-owned at all times by Pieridae Energy 
Limited; (ii) on May 15, 2017, Pieridae Energy Limited and 
P[eacute]trolia Inc. (P[eacute]trolia), a Canadian public corporation, 
entered into an agreement which contemplated that, on or before August 
15, 2017, P[eacute]trolia would acquire all of the issued and 
outstanding shares of Pieridae Energy Limited in exchange for shares of 
P[eacute]trolia pursuant to a plan of arrangement effected under 
section 192 of the Canada Business Corporation Act; and (iii) 
immediately thereafter, P[eacute]trolia and Pieridae Energy Limited 
would amalgamate to form a new entity to be named ``Pieridae Energy 
Limited.'' Pieridae US further asserted that completion of the plan of 
arrangement was subject to approval by the shareholders of 
P[eacute]trolia and Pieridae Energy Limited. According to Pieridae US, 
the plan of arrangement, if completed, would result in a ``reverse 
takeover'' of P[eacute]trolia pursuant to which the former shareholders 
of Pieridae Energy Limited would own, collectively, approximately 85% 
of the amalgamated corporation.

need for review by CFIUS. Additional information may be obtained at:

DOE/FE Evaluation

    DOE/FE will review the two Notices in accordance with its 
Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and 
Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Revised 
Procedures).\4\ Consistent with the CIC Revised Procedures, this notice 
addresses only the Pieridae US proceeding in which a final 
authorization has been issued to export LNG to non-free trade agreement 
(non-FTA) countries. The affected proceeding is FE Docket No. 14-179-
LNG. If no interested person protests the change in control and DOE 
takes no action on its own motion, the change in control will be deemed 
granted 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. If one or 
more protests are submitted, DOE will review any motions to intervene, 
protests, and answers, and will issue a determination as to whether the 
proposed change in control has been demonstrated to render the 
underlying authorization inconsistent with the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Comment Procedures

    Interested persons will be provided 15 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register in order to move to 
intervene, protest, and answer Pieridae US's Notices. Protests, motions 
to intervene, notices of intervention, and written comments are invited 
in response to this notice only as to the change in control described 
in Pieridae US's Notices.\5\ All protests, comments, motions to 
intervene, or notices of intervention must meet the requirements 
specified by DOE's regulations in 10 CFR part 590.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Intervention, if granted, would constitute intervention only 
in the change in control portion of this proceeding, as described 
herein.
