SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: On December 20, 2021, in DOE/FECM Order No. 4772,1 DOE authorized Carib Energy to export LNG previously imported from foreign sources in a volume equivalent to 0.48 Bcf of natural gas on a cumulative basis over a two-year period. Under this blanket order, Carib Energy is authorized to export the LNG in approved IMO7/TVAC–ASME LNG containers (ISO containers) loaded at the Crowley LNG Truck Loading Facility (Crowley Facility) located in Pen˜uelas, Puerto Rico,2 and transported on ocean-going carriers or container vessels to any country in Central America, South America, or the Caribbean that has, or in the future develops, the capacity to import LNG via approved ISO containers on oceangoing carriers or container vessels. This includes both countries with which the United States has entered into a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas (FTA countries),3 and any other country with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA countries).4 Carib Energy’s two-year blanket authorization under Order No. 4772 commenced on April 6, 2022, the date 1 Carib Energy (USA) LLC, DOE/FECM Order No. 4772, Docket No. 21–99–LNG, Order Granting Blanket Authorization to Export Previously Imported Liquefied Natural Gas in ISO Containers By Vessel to Free Trade and Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations (Dec. 20, 2021). 2 The Crowley Facility receives LNG that has been imported from foreign sources into Puerto Rico via the EcoElectrica LNG Terminal.
