Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 29 / Monday, February 13, 2012 / Notices 7571 

completion of FERC’s environmental 

review. 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

The Application will be reviewed 

pursuant to section 3 of the NGA, as 

amended, and the authority contained 

in DOE Delegation Order No. 00– 

002.00L (April 29, 2011) and DOE 

Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04E 

(April 29, 2011). In reviewing this LNG 

export Application, DOE will consider 

any issues required by law or policy. To 

the extent determined to be relevant or 

appropriate, these issues will include 

the impact of LNG exports associated 

with this Application, and the 

cumulative impact of any other 

application(s) previously approved, on 

domestic need for the gas proposed for 

export, adequacy of domestic natural 

gas supply, U.S. energy security, and 

any other issues, including the impact 

on the U.S. economy (GDP), consumers, 

and industry, job creation, U.S. balance 

of trade, international considerations, 

and 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, as well as any other issues 

deemed relevant to the Application. 

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. 

Due to the complexity of the issues 

raised by the Applicants, interested 

persons will be provided 60 days from 

the date of publication of this Notice in 

which to submit comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, notices of 

intervention, or motions for additional 

procedures. 

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 

intervene or notice of intervention, as 

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) Submitting 

comments in electronic form on the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, by following the 

on-line instructions and submitting 

such comments under FE Docket No. 

11–161–LNG. DOE/FE suggests that 

electronic filers carefully review 

information provided in their 

submissions and include only 

information that is intended to be 

publicly disclosed; (2) emailing the 

filing to fergas@hq.doe.gov with FE 

Docket No. 11–161–LNG in the title 

line; (3) mailing an original and three 

paper copies of the filing to the Office 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the 

address listed in ADDRESSES; or (4) hand 

delivering an original and three paper 

copies of the filing to the Office of 

Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the 

address listed in ADDRESSES. 

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. 

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.
