SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CMI
requests long-term, multi-contract
authorization to export LNG from the
Corpus Christi Liquefaction Project
(Trains 1–3) in a volume equivalent to
108.16 Bcf/yr of natural gas. CMI 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
Liquefaction Project.
CMI 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 CMI’s request for a
FTA export authorization separately
pursuant to section 3(c) of the NGA, 15
U.S.C. 717b(c).
CMI 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. CMI 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 Liquefaction
Project. Additional details can be found
in CMI’s Application, posted on the
DOE/FE website at: https://
www.energy.gov/fe/downloads/
cheniere-marketing-llc-and-corpuschristi-liquefaction-llc-fe-dkt-no-19-124lng.
DOE/FE Evaluation
In reviewing CMI’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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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
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.
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. No
final decision will be issued in this
proceeding until DOE has met its
environmental responsibilities.
Public Comment Procedures
In response to this Notice, any person
may file a protest, comments, or a
motion to intervene or notice of
intervention, as applicable. Interested
parties will be provided 30 days from
the date of publication of this Notice in
which to submit comments, protests,
motions to intervene, or notices of
intervention.
Any person wishing to become a party
to the proceeding must file a motion to
intervene or notice of intervention. The
filing of comments or a protest with
respect to the Application will not serve
to make the commenter or protestant a
party to the proceeding, although

Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations
AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy
(DOE) gives notice (Notice) of receipt of an application (Application),
filed on September 27, 2019, by Cheniere Marketing, LLC and Corpus
Christi Liquefaction, LLC (collectively, CMI). The Application requests
long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced
liquefied natural gas (LNG) in an amount up to the equivalent of
approximately 108.16 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural
gas. CMI seeks to export this LNG from the Corpus Christi Liquefaction
Project located in Corpus Christi, Texas. CMI filed the Application
under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CMI requests long-term, multi-contract
authorization to export LNG from the Corpus Christi Liquefaction
Project (Trains 1-3) in a volume equivalent to 108.16 Bcf/yr of natural
gas. CMI 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 Liquefaction Project.
CMI 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 CMI's request for a FTA export
authorization separately pursuant to section 3(c) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C.
717b(c).
CMI 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.
CMI 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
Liquefaction Project. Additional details can be found in CMI's
Application, posted on the DOE/FE website at: https://www.energy.gov/fe/downloads/cheniere-marketing-llc-and-corpus-christi-liquefaction-llc-fe-dkt-no-19-124-lng.
DOE/FE Evaluation
In reviewing CMI'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\
