. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This information collection request contains: (1) OMB No. New; (2) Information Collection Request Title: Field Metering of Electrical Appliances; (3) Type of Request: New; (4) Purpose: Metered field data from electrical appliances is necessary to support characterization of energy consumption for current and future DOE energy conservation standard rulemakings. The use of tested energy consumption data is not sufficient due to the potentially wide range of conditions found in households and businesses using these appliances, referred to here as ‘‘the field’’ , that are not encountered under test conditions. Moreover, field metering will allow DOE to determine energy consumption of appliances that have not yet been regulated. Prior field energy consumption survey data do exist, but are difficult to obtain, do not necessarily share a consistent methodology or sample target, or are generally not representative of the entire U.S.; (5) Annual Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000,000; (6) Annual Estimated Number of Total Responses: 10,000; (7) Annual Estimated Number of Burden Hours: 10,000; (8) Annual Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping Cost Burden: None.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background
CMI is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of business in Houston, Texas. CMI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (Cheniere Energy), which is also a Delaware corporation with its primary place of business in Houston, Texas. Cheniere Energy is a developer of LNG import terminals and natural gas pipelines on the U.S. Gulf Coast, including the Sabine Pass LNG terminal.

On June 8, 2009, FE granted CMI blanket authorization to export on its own behalf or as agent for others LNG that previously had been imported from foreign sources in an amount up to the equivalent of 64 Bcf of natural gas on a cumulative basis. The authorization permitted such exports on a short term or spot market basis from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal to the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Japan, South Korea, India, China, and/ or Taiwan over a two-year period commencing on the date of the authorization. On July 31, 2009, the authorization was amended to reflect a name change from Cheniere Marketing, Inc to Cheniere Marketing, LLC. 1

On January 23, 2009, FE granted CMI blanket authorization to import LNG from various international sources for a two-year term beginning on January 29,
2009. 2 Under the terms of the blanket authorization the LNG may be imported at any LNG receiving facility in the United States and its territories.
Current Application

In the instant application, CMI is seeking blanket authorization to export from the Sabine Pass LNG terminal LNG that has been previously imported from foreign sources to any country with the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier and with which trade is notprohibited by U.S. law or over a twoyear period, on a short-term or spot market basis, in an amount up to the equivalent of 500 Bcf of natural gas. CMI is also concurrently seeking to vacate Order 2651, as amended by Order 2651– A since the proposed authorization will supersede its current authorization. CMI states that no additional physical modifications to the Sabine Pass LNG terminal are required to accommodate the export authorization requested.
