businesses. Carib also states that as a 

growing company, it will also be 

creating jobs as its marketing and sale of 

LNG to new markets increases its need 

for additional sales and administrative 

staff. 

Carib states that because the requested 

exports will have minimal effect on 

domestic natural gas supply based on 

current projections, and the DOE/FE has 

retained the ability to address changes 

in the domestic gas supply, if, in the 

future, there are unexpected changed 

circumstances, granting this Application 

for the requested term is consistent with 

the public interest. 

Environmental Impact 

Carib states that no modifications to 

the Facility would be required in order 

for it to export LNG, and accordingly, 

under Categorical Exclusion B5.7 of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), approval of this Application 

would not constitute a federal action 

significantly affecting the human 

environment within the meaning of 

NEPA. 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

This export Application will be 

reviewed pursuant to section 3(a) of the 

NGA, as amended, and the authority 

contained in DOE Delegation Order No. 

00–002.00L (April 29, 2011) and DOE 

Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04E 

(April 29, 2011). In reviewing this LNG 

export Application, DOE will consider 

domestic need for the natural gas, as 

well as any other issues determined to 

be appropriate, including whether the 

arrangement 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 

comment in their responses on these 

issues. 

NEPA requires DOE to give 

appropriate consideration to the 

environmental effects of its proposed 

decisions. No final decision will be 

issued in this proceeding until DOE has 

met its NEPA responsibilities. 

Public Comment Procedures 

In response to this notice, any person 

may file a protest, comments, or a 

motion to intervene or notice of 

intervention, as applicable. Any person 

wishing to become a party to the 

proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene or notice of intervention, as 

applicable. The filing of comments or a 

protest with respect to the Application 

will not serve to make the commenter or 

protestant a party to the proceeding, 

although protests and comments 

received from persons who are not 

parties will be considered in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken on the Application. All protests, 

comments, motions to intervene or 

notices of intervention must meet the 

requirements specified by the 

regulations in 10 CFR part 590. 

Filings may be submitted using one of 

the following methods: (1) Submitting 

comments in electronic form on the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, by following the 

on-line instructions and submitting 

such comments under FE Docket No. 

11–141–LNG. DOE/FE suggests that 

electronic filers carefully review 

information provided in their 

submissions and include only 

information that is intended to be 

publicly disclosed; (2) emailing the 

filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov with FE 

Docket No. 11–141–LNG in the title 

line; (3) mailing an original and three 

paper copies of the filing to the Office 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the 

address listed in ADDRESSES; or (4) hand 

delivering an original and three paper 

copies of the filing to the Office of 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the 

address listed in ADDRESSES. 

A decisional record on the 

Application will be developed through 

responses to this notice by parties, 

including the parties’ written comments 

and replies thereto. Additional 

procedures will be used as necessary to 

achieve a complete understanding of the 

facts and issues. A party seeking 

intervention may request that additional 

procedures be provided, such as 

additional written comments, an oral 

presentation, a conference, or trial-type 

hearing. Any request to file additional 

written comments should explain why 

they are necessary. Any request for an 

oral presentation should identify the 

substantial question of fact, law, or 

policy at issue, show that it is material 

and relevant to a decision in the 

proceeding, and demonstrate why an 

oral presentation is needed. Any request 

for a conference should demonstrate 

why the conference would materially 

advance the proceeding. Any request for 

a trial-type hearing must show that there 

are factual issues genuinely in dispute 

that are relevant and material to a 

decision and that a trial-type hearing is 

necessary for a full and true disclosure 

of the facts. 

If an additional procedure is 

scheduled, notice will be provided to all 

parties. If no party requests additional 

procedures, a final Opinion and Order 

may be issued based on the official 

record, including the Application and 

responses filed by parties pursuant to 

this notice, in accordance with 10 CFR 

590.316.
