SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Commonwealth requests long-term,
multi-contract authorization to export
LNG from its proposed LNG Facility in
a volume up to 9.5 million metric tons
per annum (mtpa), which it states is
equivalent to approximately 441.4 Bcf/
yr of natural gas. Commonwealth
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 Commonwealth’s
request for a FTA export authorization
separately pursuant to section 3(c) of the
NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717b(c).
Commonwealth 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.
Commonwealth is seeking a 20-year
term for the non-FTA authorization,
commencing on the earlier of the date
of first commercial export from the LNG
Facility or seven years from the issuance
of the requested authorization.
Additional details can be found in
Commonwealth’s Application, posted
on the DOE/FE website at: https://

commonwealth-lng-llc-fe-dkt-no-19-134lng.
DOE/FE Evaluation
In reviewing Commonwealth’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/
1 See NERA Economic Consulting,
Macroeconomic Outcomes of Market Determined
Levels of U.S. LNG Exports (June 7, 2018), available
