SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Change in Control 

ECA Liquefaction states that it is a 

variable-capital, limited liability 

company organized under the laws of 

Mexico. ECA Liquefaction is owned 

approximately 99.99% by ECA LNG 

Holdings B.V. (ECA LNG Holdings), 

with the remainder owned by ECA 

Minority, S. de R.L. de C.V. ECA 

Liquefaction states that, prior to 

December 9, 2020, two companies— 

Sempra LNG ECA Liquefaction, LLC 

(Sempra LNG) and Infraestructura 

Energe ́tica Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. 

(IEnova)—each held a direct 50% 

ownership interest in ECA LNG 

Holdings. 

On December 9, 2020, Sempra LNG, 

IEnova, and Total Gaz Electricite ́

Holdings France S.A.S. (Total) entered 

into an equity issuance and subscription 

agreement whereby Total acquired a 

16.6% equity interested in ECA LNG 

Holdings (Transaction). ECA 

Liquefaction states that Total is owned 

100% by Total Holdings, S.A.S., which 

in turn is wholly owned by Total SE, a 

French energy company. ECA 

Liquefaction further states that an 

affiliate of Total, Total Gas & Power Asia 

Private Limited, is an existing customer 

of ECA Liquefaction. Following the 

Transaction, Sempra LNG and IEnova 

each retain a 41.7% ownership interest 

in ECA LNG Holdings. 

Additional details can be found in 

ECA Liquefaction’s Statement, posted 

on the DOE/FE website at: https://

DOE/FE Evaluation 

DOE/FE will review ECA 

Liquefaction’s Statement in accordance 

with its Procedures for Changes in 

Control Affecting Applications and 

Authorizations to Import or Export 

Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).1

Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this 

notice addresses ECA Liquefaction’s 

authorization to export liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) to non-free trade agreement 

(non-FTA) countries, granted in DOE/FE 

Order No. 4364, as amended by Orders 

No. 4364–A and 4364–B.2 If no 

interested person protests the change in 

control and DOE takes no action on its 

own motion, the proposed change in 

control will be deemed granted 30 days 

after publication in the Federal 

Register. If one or more protests are 

submitted, DOE will review any 

motions to intervene, protests, and 

answers, and will issue a determination 

as to whether the proposed change in 

control has been demonstrated to render 

the underlying authorization 

inconsistent with the public interest. 

Public Comment Procedures

days from the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register to move

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Southern 

LNG requests a short-term blanket 

authorization to export LNG from the 

Elba Island Terminal located on Elba 

Island, Chatham County, Georgia, to any 

country with the capacity to import 

LNG via ocean-going carrier and with 

which trade is not prohibited by U.S. 

law or policy. 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) and 

all other countries (non-FTA countries). 

This Notice applies only to the portion 

of the Application requesting authority 

to export LNG to non-FTA countries 

pursuant to section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 

U.S.C. 717b(a). Southern LNG states that 

its existing blanket export authorization, 

set forth in DOE/FE Order No. 4206, is 

scheduled to expire on March 31, 2021. 

Southern LNG requests that the 

authorization commence on the earlier 

of either the date when all Movable 

Modular Liquefaction System units 

associated with the Elba Liquefaction 

Project have been placed in service or 

April 1, 2021. Southern LNG is not 

seeking authorization to export any 

domestically produced natural gas or 

LNG. 

Southern LNG requests this 

authorization on its own behalf and as 

agent for other parties who hold title to 

the LNG at the time of export. 

Additional details can be found in 

Southern LNG’s Application, posted on 

the DOE/FE website at: https://

www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2020/ 

08/f77/20-99-LNG.pdf. 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

In reviewing Southern LNG’s 

Application, DOE will consider any 

issues required by law or policy. DOE 

will consider domestic need for the 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. 

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 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. Interested 

parties will be provided 30 days from 

the date of publication of this Notice in 

which to submit comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or notices of 

intervention. 

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 

Docket No. 20–99–LNG in the title line; 

(2) mailing an original and three paper 

copies of the filing to the Office of 

Regulation, Analysis, and Engagement 

at the address listed in ADDRESSES; or (3) 

hand delivering an original and three 

paper copies of the filing to the Office 

of Regulation, Analysis, and 

Engagement at the address listed in 

ADDRESSES. All filings must include a 

reference to FE Docket No. 20–99–LNG. 

Please note: If submitting a filing via 

email, please include all related 

documents and attachments (e.g.,

correspondence. Please do not include

that all documents are filed in a timely 

manner. Any hardcopy filing submitted 

greater in length than 50 pages must 

also include, at the time of the filing, a 

digital copy on disk of the entire 

submission. 

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. 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. 

The Application is available for
