DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[FE Docket No. 14–001–CIC] 

Cameron LNG, LLC; Application To 

Transfer Control of Long-Term 

Authorization To Export LNG to Free 

Trade Agreement Nations and 

Conditional Long-Term Authorization 

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 February 18, 

2014, by Cameron LNG, LLC (Cameron), 

requesting to transfer indirect control of 

two export authorizations that it 

currently holds: an authorization to 

export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to 

any country with which the United 

States has a free trade agreement (FTA) 

that requires national treatment for trade 

in natural gas (FTA countries), and a 

conditional authorization to export LNG 

to countries with which the United 

States does not have a FTA that requires 

national treatment for trade in natural 

gas (non-FTA countries). Cameron seeks 

authorization to transfer its 

authorizations pursuant to 10 CFR 

590.405, which states, in its entirety, 

that ‘‘authorizations by the Assistant 

Secretary to import or export natural gas 

shall not be transferable or assignable, 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Assistant Secretary.’’ 

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, June 18, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

Applicant. Cameron states that it is a 

Delaware limited liability company with 

its executive offices in Houston, Texas. 

Cameron further states that it is a 

wholly-owned subsidiary of Sempra 

LNG Holdings, which is a wholly 

owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy, a 

publicly traded corporation. Cameron 

constructed and operates the Cameron 

LNG Terminal, and has an 

interconnection with the Cameron 

Interstate Pipeline. 

Procedural History. This Application 

concerns two export authorizations 

issued by DOE/FE to Cameron. First, on 

January 17, 2012, DOE/FE issued Order 

No. 3059, in which it authorized 

Cameron to export domestically 

produced LNG in a volume equivalent 

to approximately 620 billion cubic feet 

per year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas by vessel 

from the Cameron LNG Terminal to FTA 

countries for a period of 20 years, 

beginning on the earlier of the date of 

first cargo export or seven years from 

the date of authorization.1

Second, on February 11, 2014, DOE/ 

FE issued Order No. 3391, in which it 

authorized Cameron to export 

domestically produced LNG in a volume 

equivalent to approximately 620 Bcf/yr 

of natural gas to non-FTA countries for 

a 20-year period, commencing on the 

earlier of the date of first cargo export 

or seven years from the date of the 

authorization.2 As these volumes 

authorized for export from the Cameron 

LNG Terminal are the same, they are not 

additive.3

Current Application 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 590.405, Cameron 

seeks approval for the indirect transfer 

of control due to a change in its 

upstream ownership structure. Cameron 

states in its Application that Sempra 

LNG’s interest in Cameron will transfer 

to Cameron LNG Holdings, which is a 

wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra 

LNG Holdings. Sempra LNG Holdings 

will issue additional membership 

holdings in Cameron LNG Holdings 

equal to a 49.8% interest in Cameron 

LNG Holdings. 

Sempra LNG Holdings will convey a 

16.6% interest to GDF Suez Cameron 

LNG Holding II Corporation, a Delaware 

corporation and a wholly owned, 

indirect subsidiary of GDF Suez. 

Sempra LNG Holdings will convey a 

16.6% interest to Mitsui & Co. Cameron 

LNG Investment, Inc., a Delaware 

corporation and a wholly owned, 

indirect subsidiary of Mitsui, Inc. 

Sempra LNG Holdings will convey a 

16.6% interest to Japan LNG 

Investment, LLC, a Delaware limited 

liability company indirectly owned by 

the Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Shipping 

Company through NYK Cameron LNG 

Holdings, Inc., (a Delaware corporation) 

and to Mitsubishi through Diamond Gas 

America Corporation (also a Delaware 

corporation). Cameron states that it will 

continue to own the authorizations; 

only the upstream ownership structure 

will change. 

Public Interest Considerations 

Cameron states that the proposed 

indirect transfer of control will not 

undermine the public interest, and that 

the export characteristics will be 

unchanged. Specifically, Cameron 

maintains that the proposed transfer of 

indirect control will not affect the 

amount of gas authorized for export, the 

scope of the project, the commencement 

date of the project, the source of the gas 

supply, the price, or other terms of the 

transaction. Further, Cameron states that 

DOE/FE has granted applications to 

transfer or assign import authorizations 

to customers of the authorization holder 

in other proceedings, which is the type 

of transfer that Cameron proposes. 

Environmental Impact 

Cameron states that no changes to the 

Cameron LNG Terminal would be 

required for the requested change in 

control. Therefore, Cameron maintains 

that a grant of its Application would not 

constitute a federal action significantly 

affecting the human environment within 

the meaning of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq., nor would an 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
30838 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 103 / Thursday, May 29, 2014 / Notices 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment be required. 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

Cameron’s Application will be 

reviewed pursuant to section 3 of the 

NGA, as amended, and the authority 

contained in DOE Delegation Order No. 

00–002.00N (July 11, 2013) and DOE 

Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04F 

(July 11, 2013). In reviewing this 

Application, DOE will consider the 

application, comments filed in response 

to this application, and as well as any 

other issues determined to be 

appropriate including conformity with 

the regulations at 10 CFR 590.405 and 

the Natural Gas Act at 15 U.S.C. 717b. 

Parties that may oppose this 

Application should comment in their 

responses on these issues. 

NEPA 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, to the 

extent any are deemed to exist. 

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. Any person 

wishing to become a party to the 

proceeding must file a motion to

applicable. 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. 14–001–CIC in the title line;

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. A party seeking 

intervention may request that additional 

procedures be provided, such as 

additional written comments, an oral 

presentation, a conference, or trial-type 

hearing. Any request to file additional 

written comments should explain why 

they are necessary. Any request for an 

oral presentation should identify the 

substantial question of fact, law, or 

policy at issue, show that it is material 

and relevant to a decision in the 

proceeding, and demonstrate why an 

oral presentation is needed. Any request 

for a conference should demonstrate 

why the conference would materially 

advance the proceeding. Any request for 

a trial-type hearing must show that there 

are factual issues genuinely in dispute 

that are relevant and material to a 

decision and that a trial-type hearing is 

necessary for a full and true disclosure 

of the facts.

parties. If no party requests additional 

procedures, a final Opinion and Order 

may be issued based on the official 

record, including the Application and
