Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC is managed and directed by a board of three managers: Two designated by Calcasieu Pass Funding, LLC and one designated by Stonepeak Bayou Holdings, LP. Under certain extraordinary circumstances such as events of default and material breaches or termination of key Project contracts, Stonepeak Bayou Holdings LP would obtain the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC for a limited period of time lasting until thirty days after such circumstances are no longer continuing, at which time Calcasieu Pass Funding, LLC will once again have the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)). Such exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On December 21, 2009, DOE issued Order EA–275–B, which authorized NorthPoint to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer for a ten-year term using existing international transmission facilities appropriate for open access. The authorization expires on April 7, 2020. On December 20, 2019, NorthPoint filed an application (Application or App.) with DOE for renewal of the export authorization contained in Order No. EA–275–B for an additional ten-year term. NorthPoint states in its Application that it ‘‘does not own, operate, or control any electric generation, transmission, or distribution facilities in the United States, nor is it affiliated with any owner of electric generation, transmission, or distribution facilities in the United States.’’ App. at 4. NorthPoint states that it ‘‘is a wholly owned subsidiary of SaskPower, a Provincial Crown corporation of the Government of Saskatchewan, Canada’’ and that ‘‘SaskPower is engaged in the generation of power from predominantly thermal sources and the transmission, distribution, and sale of such power to wholesale and retail customers within Saskatchewan.’’ Id. At 2. NorthPoint further states that ‘‘[a]ny power purchased by NorthPoint for export to Canada will be surplus to the needs of the entities selling power to NorthPoint.’’ Id. at 4. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have previously been authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties.

    Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC has two members: One member, Calcasieu 
Pass Funding, LLC, owns all the common units of the company. The other 
member, Stonepeak Bayou Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership 
affiliated with Stonepeak, owns all the preferred units of the company. 
The preferred units will convert into common units upon the commercial

percent).
    Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC is managed and directed by a board of 
three managers: Two designated by Calcasieu Pass Funding, LLC and one 
designated by Stonepeak Bayou Holdings, LP. Under certain extraordinary 
circumstances such as events of default and material breaches or 
termination of key Project contracts, Stonepeak Bayou Holdings LP would 
obtain the right to appoint a majority of the board of managers of 
Calcasieu Pass Holdings, LLC for a limited period of time lasting until 
thirty days after such circumstances are no longer continuing, at which 
time Calcasieu Pass Funding, LLC will once again have the right to 
appoint a majority of the board of managers. In addition, the manager 
designated by Stonepeak Bayou Holdings LP generally has the right to

DOE/FE Evaluation

    DOE/FE will review Calcasieu Pass' Notice in accordance with its 
Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and 
Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Revised 
Procedures).\2\ Consistent with the CIC Revised Procedures, this notice 
addresses only the authorizations granted to Calcasieu Pass to export 
liquefied natural gas (LNG) to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) 
countries in DOE/FE Order No. 4346 (FE Docket Nos. 13-69-LNG, 14-88-
LNG, and 15-25-LNG, respectively). 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.
