SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 3, 2019, in Order No. 4445, 

DOE/FE authorized Eagle LNG to export 

domestically produced LNG in a volume 

equivalent to 49.8 billion cubic feet per 

year of natural gas, pursuant to NGA 

section 3(a), 15 U.S.C. 717b(a).1 Eagle 

LNG is authorized to export this LNG by 

vessel and in ISO containers on vessels 

from the proposed Jacksonville Project, 

to be located in Jacksonville, Florida, to 

any country with which the United 

States has not entered into 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) 

for a 20-year term. In the Application,2

Eagle LNG asks DOE to extend its 

current export term to a term ending on 

December 31, 2050, as provided in the 

Policy Statement.3 Additional details 

can be found in the Application, posted

the standard export term for long-term 

non-FTA authorizations.4 As the basis 

for its decision, DOE considered its 

obligations under NGA section 3(a), the 

public comments supporting and 

opposing the proposed Policy 

Statement, and a wide range of 

information bearing on the public 

interest.5 DOE explained that, upon 

receipt of an application under the 

Policy Statement, it would conduct a 

public interest analysis of the 

application under NGA section 3(a). 

DOE further stated that ‘‘the public 

interest analysis will be limited to the 

application for the term extension— 

meaning an intervenor or protestor may 

challenge the requested extension but 

not the existing non-FTA order.’’ 6

Accordingly, in reviewing Eagle 

LNG’s Application, DOE/FE will 

consider any issues required by law or 

policy under NGA section 3(a), as 

informed by the Policy Statement. To 

the extent appropriate, DOE will 

consider the study entitled, 

Macroeconomic Outcomes of Market 

Determined Levels of U.S. LNG Exports 

(2018 LNG Export Study),7 DOE’s 

response to public comments received 

on that Study,8 and the following 

environmental documents:

Review Documents Concerning Exports

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas 

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied 

Natural Gas From the United States: 

2019 Update, 84 FR 49278 (Sept. 19, 

2019), and DOE/FE’s response to public 

comments received on that study.11

Parties that may oppose the 

Application should address these issues 

and documents 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 proposed decisions. No 

final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its 

environmental 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, addressing 

the Application. Interested parties will 

be provided 15 days from the date of 

publication of this Notice in which to 

submit comments, protests, motions to 

intervene, or notices of intervention. 

The public previously was given an 

opportunity to intervene in, protest, and 

comment on Eagle LNG’s long-term nonFTA application. Therefore, DOE will 

not consider comments or protests that 

do not bear directly on the requested 

term extension. 

Any person wishing to become a party 

to the proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene or notice of intervention. 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) Emailing the 

filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov, with FE
