Bear Head LNG Corporation and Bear 

Head LNG (USA), LLC; Application for 

Long-Term, Multi-Contract 

Authorization To Import Natural Gas 

From, for Subsequent Export to, 

Canada for a 25-Year Term 

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 January 23, 2015, 

by Bear Head LNG Corporation and Bear 

Head LNG (USA), LLC (collectively, 

Bear Head),1 requesting long-term, 

multi-contract authorization to import 

up to 250 billion cubic feet per year 

(Bcf/yr) of natural gas (approximately 

0.7 Bcf per day (Bcf/d)) by pipeline from 

Canada, for subsequent export by 

pipeline to Canada, 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. Bear Head 

states that this requested authorization 

is necessary to access Canadian gas 

supplies that must be imported by 

pipeline from Canada to the United 

States to reach demand markets in Nova 

Scotia through the Maritimes & 

Northeast (M&N) Pipeline. Bear Head 

further states that this Application is 

being filed with DOE/FE in connection 

with the development of a proposed 

Canadian natural gas liquefaction and 

export facility currently being 

developed by Bear Head within the 

Point Tupper/Bear Head Industrial Park 

near the town of Port Hawksbury, on the 

Straight of Canso, in Richmond County, 

Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada 

(Project). Bear Head states that the 

Canadian natural gas subject to the 

requested authorization will be used as 

feedstock for the production of liquefied 

natural gas (LNG) at the Project.2 Bear 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 73 / Thursday, April 16, 2015 / Notices 20485 

authorization to export domestically produced 

natural gas as follows: (i) To export the natural gas 

by pipeline to Canada at the United States-Canada 

border (at a point near Calais, Maine, and St. 

Stephen, New Brunswick, respectively) on the M&N 

Pipeline in a volume of 440 Bcf/yr of natural gas 

(1.2 Bcf/d); (ii) to use approximately 42.4 Bcf/yr of 

the U.S.-sourced natural gas as feedstock in the 

Project; and (iii) to export a portion of the U.S.- 

sourced natural gas in the form of LNG in a volume 

equivalent to approximately 397.6 Bcf/yr of natural 

gas (1.1 Bcf/d) by vessel from Nova Scotia, Canada, 

to one or more countries 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). That application is 

pending before DOE/FE in FE Docket No. 15–33– 

LNG, and is the subject of a notice being published 

in the Federal Register concurrently with this 

Notice. See also infra at 3 (DOE/FE Evaluation). 

3See Application at 2–3. 

4 Id. at 4–5; see also id. at 2 n.6 (‘‘Once 

constructed, the Project will be capable of receiving, 

processing and liquefying natural gas . . . and 

loading LNG onto ocean-going vessels for delivery 

to export markets.’’). See also supra at 2 n.2. 

Head seeks to import and export this 

Canadian natural gas 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 Bear 

Head’s Application, posted on the DOE/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

Bear Head asserts that DOE/FE should 

grant the requested authorization under 

section 3(c) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 

717b(c), because Canada is a nation with 

which the United States has a FTA 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas.3 According to Bear Head, 

however, ‘‘[t]he Project is proposed for 

the purpose of exporting North 

American LNG to foreign markets.’’ 4

Therefore, DOE/FE requests comment 

on whether section 3(c) of the NGA or 

section 3(a) of the NGA, 15 U.S.C. 

717b(a), provides the appropriate 

standard for review of the Application. 

Parties that may oppose this 

Application may address this issue in 

their comments and/or protests, as well 

as any other issues deemed relevant to 

the Application. 

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. Due to the 

complexity of the issues raised by the 

Applicant, interested parties will be 

provided 60 days from the date of 

publication of this Notice in which to 

submit their 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, as
