Magnolia LNG LLC; Order Amending Long-Term Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations, 26534-26535 [2023-09161]

Download as PDF 26534 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 83 / Monday, May 1, 2023 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 717b(a). 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. The Amended ROD can be found here: www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/ 2023–04/ord3643–C.pdf. Signed in Washington, DC, on April 26, 2023.

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) of 
the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of an Amended Record of 
Decision (ROD) published under the National Environmental Policy Act of 
1969 (NEPA) and implementing regulations. This Amended ROD is an 
Appendix to DOE/FECM Order No. 3909-C, an order that amends the 
previously-issued DOE/FE Order No. 3909, an opinion and order 
authorizing Magnolia LNG LLC to export domestically-produced liquefied 
natural gas (LNG) to non-free trade agreement countries under section 
3(a) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 27, 2022, DOE issued Order No. 
3909-C to Magnolia LNG LLC (Magnolia LNG) under NGA section 3(a), 15 
U.S.C. 717b(a). This Order further amends Order No. 3909, previously 
issued to Magnolia LNG on November 30, 2016, under NGA section 3(a). 
Order No. 3909, as amended, authorized Magnolia LNG to export 
domestically-produced LNG 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 (non-FTA countries).
    Order No. 3909-C authorizes an increase in the volume of exports 
previously authorized in the amended Order No. 3909. Under Order No. 
3909-C, Magnolia LNG is authorized to export LNG in a volume equivalent 
to 449 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of natural gas (approximately 
1.23 Bcf per day) to non-FTA countries from the proposed Magnolia LNG 
Terminal, to be located near Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana.
    DOE participated as a cooperating agency with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (FERC) in preparing a supplemental

environmental impact statement (SEIS) analyzing the potential 
environmental impacts of the proposed increase in authorized export 
capacity. DOE adopted the SEIS and reviewed FERC's order authorizing 
the volume increase, under NEPA. DOE also supplemented FERC's 
environmental review with its own additional environmental studies, as 
well as the Marine Transport Technical Support Document prepared by DOE 
to consider the potential effects associated with transporting natural 
gas, including LNG, on marine vessels. On the basis of this record, DOE 
issued an Amended ROD, which is attached as an appendix to the Order. 
The Amended ROD can be found here: www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2022-04/ord3909c.pdf.
