Proposed Agency Information Collection
The Department of Energy (DOE) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance a proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection will gather opinions of experts in industry and other organizations regarding the impact on the development and diffusion of energy-efficient HVAC, water heating, and appliance technologies of DOE/EERE Building Technologies Office (BTO) investments. Expert opinions are necessary to characterize counterfactual patterns of technology development and diffusion in the absence of DOE investments, and so (by comparing these counterfactuals with actual observations) estimate the difference DOE investments have made. This information is needed by DOE for budget justification and strategic planning. Respondents will include representatives of companies in the HVAC, water heating, and appliance supply chain (including companies that received DOE R&D funding and companies that received no direct funding from DOE), researchers at DOE-funded labs (e.g., ORNL, BNL), participants in DOE-funded consortiums, members of industry associations and standards/code bodies.

Texas LNG Brownsville LLC; Application for Long-Term, Multi-Contract Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations for a 25-Year Period
The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on April 15, 2015, by Texas LNG Brownsville LLC (Texas LNG), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 0.55 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/d) of natural gas (200.75 Bcf per year (Bcf/yr)). On May 22, 2015, Texas LNG filed a First Amendment to the Application, increasing the requested export volume to 0.56 Bcf/d of natural gas (204.4 Bcf/yr), which it states is equivalent to 4 million metric tons per annum of LNG. Texas LNG seeks authorization to export the LNG by vessel from the proposed Texas LNG facility to be constructed at the Port of Brownsville in Brownsville, Texas, to any country with which the United States does not have 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).\1\ Texas LNG requests the authorization for a 25-year term to commence on the earlier of the date of first export or 10 years from the date the authorization is granted. Texas LNG seeks to export this LNG on its own behalf and as agent for other entities who hold title to the LNG at the time of export. The Application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional details can be found in Texas LNG's Application and First Amendment to the Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at: https://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2015/05/ f22/15_62_lng.pdf and https://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2015/06/f22/ Amendment%20to%20Application05_22_15.pdf.

Cameron LNG, LLC; Application for Long-Term, Multi-Contract Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations for a Period of 20 Years
The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on May 28, 2015, by Cameron LNG, LLC (Cameron LNG), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 515 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (1.41 Bcf/day). Cameron LNG seeks authorization to export the LNG by vessel from the existing Cameron LNG Terminal (Cameron Terminal), which Cameron LNG owns and operates in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana. Cameron LNG already has received authorizations from the Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) and DOE/FE, respectively, to construct and develop three liquefaction trains (Trains 1, 2, and 3) to liquefy natural gas at the Cameron Terminal for export to foreign markets (Liquefaction Project). In this Application, Cameron LNG seeks authorization from DOE/FE to export an additional volume of domestically produced LNG from two new liquefaction trains to be constructed at the Liquefaction ProjectTrains 4 and 5 (Expansion Project). Cameron requests authorization to export this LNG to any country with which the United States does not have 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).\1\ Cameron requests the authorization for a 20-year term to commence on the earlier of the date of first commercial export or seven years from the date the requested authorization is granted by DOE. Cameron seeks to export this LNG on its own behalf and as agent for other entities who hold title to the LNG at the time of export.

The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on April 3, 2015, by Cameron LNG, LLC (Cameron LNG), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 152 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (0.42 Bcf per day). Cameron LNG seeks authorization to export the LNG by vessel from the Cameron LNG Terminal, which Cameron owns and operates in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana (Cameron Terminal). Cameron LNG requests authorization to export this LNG to any country with which the United States does not have 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).\1\ Cameron LNG states that the requested export volume (152 Bcf/yr) is incremental and therefore additive to the volume of LNG previously authorized for export from the Cameron Terminal to non-FTA countries in DOE/FE Order No. 3391-A (620 Bcf/yr).\2\ Cameron LNG states that, if the requested authorization is approved, Cameron LNG would have an aggregate non-FTA export authorization of 772 Bcf/yr of natural gas, which is equivalent to 14.95 million metric tons per annum of LNG (the maximum capacity of the Cameron Terminal's liquefaction project, as approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission). Cameron LNG requests the authorization for a 20-year term to commence on the earlier of the date of first commercial export or seven years from the date the authorization is granted.
