Abstract: In order to move America 

toward the goal of ensuring that every 

student in every public school has 

equitable access to excellent educators, 

Secretary Duncan announced in July 

2014 that the U.S. Department of 

Education (Department) would ask each 

State educational agency (SEA) to 

submit a plan describing the steps it 

will take to ensure that ‘‘poor and 

minority children are not taught at 

higher rates than other children by 

inexperienced, unqualified, or out-offield teachers,’’ as required by section 

1111(b)(8)(C) of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act of 1965 

(ESEA) (hereinafter we use the term 

State Plan to mean only State Plans to 

Ensure Equitable Access to Excellent 

Educators.). Title I, Part A of the ESEA 

also requires a State educational agency 

(SEA) that receives a Title I, Part A grant 

to submit to the Secretary a plan, 

developed by the SEA, in consultation 

with local educational agencies, 

teachers, principals, pupil services 

personnel, administrators, other staff, 

and parents (ESEA section 1111(a)(1)). 

ED has developed the document titled 

State Plans to Ensure Equitable Access 

to Excellent Educators—Frequently 

Asked Questions to assist SEAs with 

submitting their State Plans, which 

includes information collection 

activities covered by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. The information 

collection activities consist of the 

information an SEA must develop and 

submit to ED in their State Plans.

Liquefied Natural Gas Produced From 

Domestic Natural Gas Resources to 

Non-Free Trade Agreement Countries

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 May 13, 2014, by 

Venture Global LNG, LLC (Venture 

Global), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export 

domestically produced liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) in a volume up to 5 million 

metric tons per year (mtpa), which is 

equivalent to approximately 243.6 

billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of 

natural gas, or 0.67 Bcf per day. Venture 

Global seeks authorization to export the 

LNG by vessel from its proposed LNG 

terminal to be constructed along the 

Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron 

Parish, Louisiana. Venture Global 

requests authorization to export this 

LNG for a 25-year term commencing on 

the earlier of the date of first export or 

seven years from the date the 

authorization is granted. 

In the portion of Venture Global’s 

Application subject to this Notice, 

Venture Global requests authorization to 

export 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 (non-FTA countries), and with 

which trade is not prohibited by U.S. 

law or policy. Venture Global requests 

this authorization 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(a) 

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). 

Additional details can be found in 

Venture Global’s Application, posted on 

the DOE/FE Web site at: http://

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
