The program performance measures are: (1) The number of charter schools in operation around the Nation; (2) the percentage of fourth- and eighth-grade charter school students who are achieving at or above the proficient level on State assessments in mathematics and reading/language arts; and (3) the Federal cost per student in implementing a successful school (defined as a school in operation for three or more consecutive years). (b) Project-Specific Performance Measures. Applicants must propose project-specific performance measures and performance targets consistent with the objectives of the proposed project. Applicants must provide the following information as directed under 34 CFR 75.110(b) and (c): (1) Performance measures. How each proposed performance measure would accurately measure the performance of the project and how the proposed performance measure would be consistent with the performance measures established for the program funding the competition. (2) Baseline data. (i) Why each proposed baseline is valid; or (ii) if the applicant has determined that there are no established baseline data for a particular performance measure, an explanation of why there is no established baseline and of how and when, during the project period, the applicant would establish a valid baseline for the performance measure. (3) Performance targets. Why each proposed performance target is ambitious yet achievable compared to the baseline for the performance measure and when, during the project period, the applicant would meet the performance target(s). (4) Data collection and reporting. (i) The data collection and reporting VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Nov 25, 2019 Jkt 250001 methods the applicant would use and why those methods are likely to yield reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data; and (ii) the applicant’s capacity to collect and report reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data, as evidenced by highquality data collection, analysis, and reporting in other projects or research.

SPL requests long-term, multi-contract authorization to export LNG from both the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project (Trains 1 through 4) and the Liquefaction Expansion Project (Trains 5 and 6) (collectively, the Project) in a total volume equivalent to 152.64 Bcf/yr of natural gas. SPL states that the purpose of the Application is to align its current export volumes approved by DOE/FE with the liquefaction production capacity of the Project. SPL requests authorization to export the LNG to: (i) Any nation with which the United States has entered into a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas (FTA nations), and (ii) any other nation with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA nations). This Notice applies only to the portion of the Application requesting authority to export LNG to non-FTA countries pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717b(a). DOE/FE will review SPL’s request for a FTA export authorization separately pursuant to section 3(c) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717b(c). SPL requests the authorization on its own behalf and as agent for other entities that will hold title to the LNG at the point of export. SPL is seeking a 20-year term for the non-FTA authorization, commencing on the date of first commercial export of the requested volume from the Project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SPL requests long-term, multi-contract 
authorization to export LNG from both the Sabine Pass Liquefaction 
Project (Trains 1 through 4) and the Liquefaction Expansion Project 
(Trains 5 and 6) (collectively, the Project) in a total volume 
equivalent to 152.64 Bcf/yr of natural gas. SPL states that the purpose 
of the Application is to align its current export volumes approved by 
DOE/FE with the liquefaction production capacity of the Project.
    SPL requests authorization to export the LNG to: (i) Any nation 
with which the United States has entered into a free trade agreement 
(FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas (FTA 
nations), and (ii) any other nation with which trade is not prohibited 
by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA nations). This Notice applies only to 
the portion of the Application requesting authority to export LNG to 
non-FTA countries pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 
717b(a). DOE/FE will review SPL's request for a FTA export 
authorization separately pursuant to section 3(c) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 
717b(c).
    SPL requests the authorization on its own behalf and as agent for 
other entities that will hold title to the LNG at the point of export. 
SPL is seeking a 20-year term for the non-FTA authorization, commencing 
on the date of first commercial export of the requested volume from the 
Project. Additional details can be found in SPL's Application, posted 
on the DOE/FE website at: https://www.energy.gov/fe/downloads/sabine-pass-liquefaction-llc-fe-dkt-no-19-125-lng.

DOE/FE Evaluation

    In reviewing SPL's request, DOE will consider any issues required 
by law or policy. 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 study entitled, Macroeconomic Outcomes of Market 
Determined Levels of U.S. LNG Exports (2018 LNG Export Study),\1\ and 
DOE/FE's response to public comments received on that study.\2\
