selected Alternative 3 (Commercial
Dismantlement) because this alternative
safely disposes of the ex-Enterprise,
including its hazardous materials, in
approximately five years as compared to
15 years or more for other analyzed
alternatives. Additionally, this
alternative will have the lowest
greenhouse gas emissions, will not
require modifications to the Port of
Benton in Washington State, and will be
executed at approximately half the cost
to the taxpayer as compared with other
alternatives. Finally, this alternative
supports the Navy mission by allowing
the Navy to focus limited public
shipyard resources on priority fleet
maintenance. This alternative will not
result in any decrease in workforce at
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard &
Intermediate Maintenance Facility
(PSNS & IMF).
In making this decision, DoN
carefully assessed potential human,
natural, and cultural environmental
impacts while considering strategic and
operational needs and comments from
government officials and agencies,
tribes, nongovernmental organizations,
and the public on the proposal and
environmental analysis. DoN does not
anticipate significant environmental
impacts resulting from the selected
alternative with the implementation of
protective standard operating
procedures, best management practices,
and mitigation measures.

Summary of Change in Control
Rio Grande LNG states that pursuant
to certain subscription agreements and
an amended and restated limited
liability company agreement
(collectively, Investment Agreements),
each executed and closed on July 12,
2023, its ownership has changed.
According to Rio Grande LNG, prior to
the Investment Agreements, Rio Grande
LNG was 100% owned by NextDecade
LNG, LLC (NextDecade LNG).
Rio Grande LNG states that under the
Investment Agreements, by means of the
transaction (Transaction) on July 12,
2023, NextDecade LNG; GIP V Velocity
Acquisition Partners, L.P., a limited
partnership managed by Global
Infrastructure Partners (GIP);
Devonshire Investment Pte. Ltd., a
Singapore exempt private company
(Devonshire); Global LNG North
America Corp., a subsidiary of
TotalEnergies SE (TotalEnergies); and
MIC TI Holding Company 2 RSC
Limited, an Abu Dhabi Global Market
Restricted Scope Company (MIC), will
become direct or indirect members of
Rio Grande LNG Intermediate Holdings,
LLC (RGIH), which will in turn
indirectly own 100% of Rio Grande
LNG.1 According to Rio Grande LNG,
the economic ownership interests of
RGIH will be comprised of: NextDecade
LNG (up to 20.79%); GIP (a minimum
of 46.12%); Devonshire (a minimum of
9.85%); TotalEnergies (16.67%); and
MIC (a minimum of 6.57%).2 These
members will make direct or indirect
capital contributions to fund the design,
engineering, development, construction,
operation and maintenance, along with
other activities, of the first three trains
and related common facilities at the Rio
Grande LNG Terminal (Terminal).
According to Rio Grande LNG, under
the Transaction, the RGIH Board of
1 Rio Grande LNG states that Devonshire is an
affiliated investment holding company of an
investment company that manages the Government
of Singapore’s foreign reserves; and that MIC is an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a sovereign
investor that manages a portfolio aimed at
generating sustainable financial returns for the
Government of Abu Dhabi. Accordingly, the
described change in control may also require the
approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment
in the United States (CFIUS). DOE expresses no
opinion regarding the need for review by CFIUS.
Additional information may be obtained at: https://
home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/international/thecommittee-on-foreign-investment-in-the-unitedstates-cfius.
2 According to Rio Grande LNG, the percentage of

holders of such economic interests.
