Naval Facilities Engineering Command,

NWSTF Boardman EIS Project Manager, 

1101 Tautog Circle, Suite 203, 

Silverdale, Washington 98315–1101. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice 

of Intent to prepare this Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 5, 2010 (75 FR 61452). A 

separate and additional scoping effort 

was conducted to address the 

modification of the proposed action to 

include establishment of a Military 

Operations Area that would join the 

current SUA associated with NWSTF 

Boardman. The Notice of Intent for the 

modification of the proposed action was 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 27, 2011 (76 FR80910). 

The DoN’s proposed action involves 

construction and operation of new range 

facilities and changes in existing 

training and testing activities at NWSTF 

Boardman. In general, the proposed 

action would increase the types of 

training and testing activities and the 

number of training events conducted at 

NWSTF Boardman; accommodate force 

structure changes; and provide 

enhancements to training facilities and 

activities at NWSTF Boardman and its 

associated SUA. 

To comply with federal mandates, the 

DoN proposes to maintain and enhance 

current levels of military readiness 

through improvement of training at 

NWSTF Boardman, accommodate 

possible future increases in training, 

and maintenance of the long-term 

viability of NWSTF Boardman as a 

military training and testing area. The 

proposed action is needed to provide a 

training environment consisting of 

ranges, training areas, and range 

instrumentation with the capacity and 

capabilities to fully support required 

training tasks for military units and 

personnel utilizing NWSTF Boardman. 

The Draft EIS includes analysis of the 

potential environmental impacts of 

three alternatives, including the No 

Action Alternative and two action 

alternatives. The No Action Alternative 

constitutes the current level of baseline 

training and testing activities. 

Alternative 1 includes all current 

training and testing activities; the 

establishment and use of an additional 

Military Operations Area to the 

northeast of existing NWSTF Boardman 

SUA; an increase in existing training 

activities; new training activities; and 

range enhancements and facilities to 

meet DoN and Oregon National Guard 

training requirements. Alternative 2 

includes all elements of Alternative 1 

and the implementation of additional 

range enhancements, including the 

addition of a second (western) convoy 

live-fire range, a new range operations 

control center, and three mortar training 

positions. 

Mitigation measures for potential 

effects to biological resources are being 

coordinated through appropriate 

Federal agencies. There are no 

Federally-listed species under the 

Endangered Species Act present at 

NWSTF Boardman, however, the DoN is 

conferencing with the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, as appropriate, for 

potential impacts to the candidate 

species, Washington ground squirrel 

(Urocitellus washingtoni). 

The Draft EIS was distributed to 

Federal, state, and local agencies, 

elected officials, and other interested 

individuals and organizations. Copies of

separate open meeting and hearing at a 

time and place to be determined at a 

later date; (2) The Board will now limit 

the meeting and hearing to receive 

testimony regarding factors that could 

affect the timely execution and safety of 

the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) 

project. These factors include the 

Department of Energy (DOE) project 

team’s strategy for identifying and 

resolving safety issues in a timely 

manner, the potential safety impacts of 

DOE’s decision to accelerate the 

acquisition of select processing 

capabilities and defer others to a later 

date, and the potential for weaknesses 

in technology development to impact 

safety; (3) The Board is convening the 

meeting and hearing concerning the 

UPF project from 1 p.m.–5 p.m. There

Authorization To Export Liquefied 

Natural Gas Produced From Canadian 

and Domestic Natural Gas Resources 

to Non-Free Trade Agreement 

Countries for a 25-Year Period 

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 July 16, 2012, by 

LNG Development Company, LLC (d/b/ 

a Oregon LNG), requesting long-term, 

multi-contract authorization to export 

up to 9.6 million tons per annum (mtpa) 

of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the 

equivalent of 456.25 billion cubic feet 

(Bcf) of natural gas per year or 1.3 Bcf 

per day (Bcf/d), over a 25-year period, 

commencing on the earlier of the date 

of first export or eight years from the 

date the requested authorization is 

granted. The LNG would be exported 

from the proposed LNG terminal to be

Clatsop county, to any country (1) With 

which the United States does not have 

a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring 

national treatment for trade in natural 

gas, (2) which has developed or in the 

future develops the capacity to import 

LNG via ocean-going carrier, and (3) 

with which trade is not prohibited by 

U.S. law or policy. The LNG will be 

produced from natural gas imported 

from Canada into the United States, and 

to a lesser extent, domestically 

produced natural gas. Oregon LNG is 

requesting this authorization to export 

LNG both on its own behalf and as agent 

for other parties who hold title to the 

LNG at the point of export. The 

Application was filed under section 3 of 

the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Protests, 

motions to intervene, notices of 

intervention, and written comments are 

invited. 

DATES: Protests, motions to intervene or
