**[FE Docket No. 13–160–LNG]**

**Texas LNG LLC; Application for Long Term Authorization To Export**  **Liquefied Natural Gas Produced From Domestic Natural Gas Resources to**  **Non-Free Trade Agreement Countries for a 25-Year Period** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

**ACTION :**  Notice of application.

**SUMMARY :**  The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on December 31, 2013, by Texas LNG LLC (Texas LNG), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume up to 2 million metric tons per year (mtpa), which is equivalent to approximately 100 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas, or 0.275 Bcf per day (Bcf/d). Texas LNG seeks authorization to export the LNG by vessel from its proposed LNG terminal to be constructed at the Port of Brownsville, in Brownsville, Texas. Texas LNG requests authorization to export this LNG for a 25-year term commencing on the earlier of the date of first export or 10 years from the date the authorization is granted.

In the portion of Texas LNG’s Application subject to this Notice, Texas LNG requests authorization to export LNG to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring nationaltreatment for trade in natural gas (nonFTA countries), and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy. Texas LNG requests this authorization 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(a) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional details can be found in Texas LNG’s Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at: http://www.fossil.energy.gov/programs/ gasregulation/authorizations/2013

DOE/FE Evaluation

The Application will be reviewed pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. § 717b(a), and DOE will consider any issues required by law or policy. To the extent determined to be relevant, these issues will include the domestic need for the natural gas proposed to be exported, the adequacy of domestic natural gas supply, U.S. energy security, and the cumulative impact of the requested authorization and any other LNG export application(s) previously approved on domestic natural gas supply and demand fundamentals. DOE may also consider other factors bearing on the public interest, including the impact of the proposed exports on the U.S. economy (including GDP, consumers, and industry), job creation, the U.S. balance of trade, and international considerations; and whether the authorization is consistent with DOE’s policy of promoting competition in the marketplace by allowing commercial parties to freely negotiate their own trade arrangements. Parties that may oppose this Application should address these issues in their comments and/or protests, as well as other issues deemed relevant to the Application.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq., requires DOE to give appropriate consideration to the environmental effects of its decisions. No final decision will be issued in this proceeding until DOE has met its environmental responsibilities.
