**American LNG Marketing LLC; Application for Long-Term, Multi**  **Contract Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free**  **Trade Agreement Nations**

**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, 2014, by American LNG Marketing LLC (American LNG), requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 3.02 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (0.008 Bcf/day). American LNG seeks to export the LNG from a proposed natural gas liquefaction project under construction in Medley, Florida, on the northern portion of the Hialeah Railyard (Hialeah Facility). 1 According to American LNG, the LNG typically will be delivered into approved ISO IMO7/TVAC–ASME LNG (ISO) containers (truck or rail mounted),then loaded onto container ships or rollon/roll-off ocean-going carriers for export at the nearby Port of Miami or other ports in Florida capable of handling ISO containers without modification (including Port Everglades, Port Canaveral, Port of Palm Beach, and Port of Jacksonville). American LNG requests authorization to export this LNG to any country 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). 2 American LNG requests the authorization for a 20-year term to commence on the earlier of the date of first export or seven years from the date the authorization is granted. American LNG seeks to export this LNG 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 American LNG’s Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at: http://energy.gov/fe/downloads/american-lng-marketing-llc-fe-dkt-no14-209-lng. Protests, motions to intervene, notices of intervention, and written comments are invited.

**DATES :**  Protests, motions to intervene or notices of intervention, as applicable, requests for additional procedures, and written comments are to be filed using procedures detailed in the Public Comment Procedures section no later than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, May 26,

2015.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

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. Additionally, DOE will consider the following environmental document: Addendum to Environmental Review Documents Concerning Exports of Natural Gas From the United States, 79 FR 48132 (Aug. 15, 2014). 3 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 proposed decisions. No final decision will be issued in this proceeding until DOE has met its environmental responsibilities.

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.
