Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2023 / Notices to COVID–19. In addition, the Department is requesting emergency clearance and OMB approval by May 3, 2023 in order to streamline the review and approval process as well as ensure that the reasons for requesting an extension of the HEERF project period beyond June 30, 2023 meet the applicable legal requirements. As such, the Department has created a data collection form for HEERF grantees to provide the information required to request NCEs for up to an additional twelve months to spend their remaining HEERF grant balances. The form requests information that is required under 2 CFR 200.308(e)(2) and 34 CFR 75.261(a) to grant NCEs. The Department has attempted to reduce burden on grantees by requesting, prospectively, much of the same information that grantees report on in their HEERF annual performance reports. Providing a streamlined process for NCE requests will speed the process of reviewing and approving NCE requests and help ensure grantees are able to spend down their funds in a reasonable timeframe while focusing on the pressing needs of their students and institutions.

This Order affirms and amends Order No. 3643–A, previously issued to Alaska LNG on August 20, 2020, under NGA section 3(a). Order No. 3643–A authorized Alaska LNG to export LNG produced from Alaskan sources by vessel to any country with which the United States has not entered into a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA countries). On April 15, 2021, DOE issued Order No. 3643–B, which granted rehearing of Order No. 3643–A for the purpose of conducting two Alaskaspecific environmental studies. DOE issued Order No. 3643–C following its evaluation of the additional studies. Under Order No. 3643–C, Alaska LNG is authorized to export LNG in a volume equivalent to 929 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of natural gas (2.55 Bcf/day) to non-FTA countries from the proposed Alaska LNG Project (Project) to be located in the Nikiski area of the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. The Order reaffirms and maintains all obligations, rights, responsibilities, and deadlines established in Order No. 3643–A. In addition, it requires Alaska LNG to certify monthly to DOE that, except under strictly limited circumstances, the natural gas produced for export in the form of LNG in the prior month did not result in the venting of byproduct carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. DOE conducted the additional environmental studies in the rehearing process through preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). DOE had participated as a cooperating agency with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) analyzing the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project (including an LNG export terminal, along with the associated facilities and pipeline) that would be used to support the export authorization Alaska LNG sought from DOE. DOE adopted the EIS and prepared a ROD, which is attached as an appendix to Order No. 3643–A. The Amended ROD is based on the SEIS and is attached as an appendix to Order No. 3643–C.
