DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[FE Docket No. 14–29–LNG] 

Louisiana LNG Energy LLC; 

Application for Long-Term 

Authorization to Export Liquefied 

Natural Gas Produced From 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 February 18, 

2014, by Louisiana LNG Energy LLC 

(LLNG), requesting long-term, multicontract authorization to export two 

million metric tons per year (mtpa) of 

liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced 

from domestic sources, which LLNG 

states is equivalent to approximately 

103.4 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) 

of natural gas (0.28 Bcf per day (Bcf/d)). 

LLNG seeks authorization to export the 

LNG for a 25-year term from a proposed 

LNG liquefaction project to be located 

near mile marker 46 on the East Bank 

of the Mississippi River, down-river 

from the Port of New Orleans, in 

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana (Project). 

LLNG requests authorization to export 

this LNG by vessel 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. LLNG seeks to export this 

LNG on its own behalf and as agent for 

other parties who hold title to the LNG 

at the time of export. LLNG requests that 

this authorization commence on the 

earlier of the date of first export or 10 

years from the date the authorization is 

issued. The Application was filed under 

section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). 

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, November 

25, 2014.

3 Louisiana LNG Energy LLC, DOE/FE Order. No. 

3482, FE Docket No. 14–19–LNG, Order Granting 

Long-Term Multi-Contract Authorization to Export 

Liquefied Natural Gas by Vessel from the Proposed 

Louisiana LNG Energy LLC Project in Plaquemines 

Parish, Louisiana, to Free Trade Agreement Nations 

(Aug. 28, 2014). 

4 In its first Supplement, LLNG describes how 

construction is anticipated to proceed and identifies 

the planned designer and/or manufacturer of the 

major facility components. See Supplement at 5–6. 

LLNG is owned and controlled by five 

equal members who also serve as 

officers of the LLC: James H. Lindsay, 

Ralph Summers, J.Q. Delap, Steven P. 

Martin, and Thomas W. Burgess. Each 

member holds a 20% ownership interest 

in LLNG. LLNG states that it intends to 

transfer a controlling ownership interest 

from the five members to ArcLight 

Capital Partners, LLC, a Massachusettsbased private equity firm specializing in 

the energy sector. 

Procedural History. In the 

Application, LLNG stated that it expects 

to file a request with the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) in May 

2014 to initiate the pre-filing 

environmental review process for the 

proposed Project. We take 

administrative notice that LLNG made 

this request to FERC on July 11, 2014, 

and FERC accepted LLNG’s pre-filing 

request on July 18, 2014, in FERC 

Docket No. PF14–17–000. 

On July 24, 2014, LLNG submitted a 

supplement to its Application, in which 

it provided additional detail on the 

requested export volume, corporate 

structure, and source of the natural gas 

to be exported.1 LLNG also provided a 

description of the Project’s LNG marine 

facilities, LNG truck loading facilities, 

and modular design plan. On August 28, 

2014, LLNG submitted a second 

supplement to DOE/FE by electronic 

mail, clarifying information concerning 

its access to natural gas supplies. The 

additional Project detail provided in 

both supplements is incorporated 

herein. 

On August 28, 2014, DOE/FE issued 

Order No. 3482, in which it granted 

LLNG’s FTA export application, filed 

separately on February 5, 2014. In that 

order, DOE/FE authorized LLNG to 

export domestically produced LNG by 

vessel from the Project to FTA countries 

(i.e., countries with which the United 

States currently has, or in the future will 

have, a free trade agreement requiring 

national treatment for trade in natural 

gas) 2 in a volume equivalent to 

approximately 103.4 Bcf/yr of natural 

gas for a term of 25 years.3 LLNG states 

that the LNG export volumes requested 

for its FTA and non-FTA authorizations, 

both equivalent to 103.4 Bcf/yr of 

natural gas, are not additive. 

Liquefaction Project. LLNG proposes 

to construct a liquefaction facility on a 

200-acre site near mile market 46 on the 

East Bank of the Mississippi River, in 

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. LLNG 

states that the proposed site is currently 

under lease by LLNG with multiple 

renewal options extending through May 

31, 2091. 

LLNG states that the liquefaction 

facility will consist of four 74,380 

thousand cubic feet per day (Mcf/d) 

liquefaction trains with a total annual 

capacity of approximately 100 Bcf (or 

two mtpa) of LNG. LLNG further states 

that the facility will include two amine 

and dehydration units, which will be 

located upstream of the four 

liquefaction trains to remove residual 

moisture, CO2, and natural gas liquids. 

These and other facility components, 

including storage tanks, heat 

exchangers, air coolers, and gas 

turbines, will be built in a modular 

fashion and assembled on-site.4

LLNG states that it plans to construct 

a marine loading terminal and LNG 

truck loading facilities. According to 

LLNG, the marine loading terminal will 

consist of one berth for LNG cargo ships 

ranging in size from 130,000 to 175,000 

cubic meters (m3) cargo capacity, and 

will have cryogenic loading arms for the 

loading of LNG. The LNG storage tanks 

will be fitted with pumps to transfer 

LNG to cargo ships at a loading rate of 

10,000 m3 per hour. 

LLNG states that the LNG truck 

loading station will be fenced off and 

separate from the main liquefaction 

facility site. Two truck loading bays, 

with weigh stations, will have pumps to 

transfer LNG from the LNG storage tanks 

to the trucks. Flexible cryogenic hoses 

will enable the transfer of LNG to each 

truck at a rate of approximately 400 

gallons per minute. LLNG states that 

hoses will send boil-off gas to a 

handling system. 

Current Application 

LLNG requests long-term, multicontract authorization to export two 

mtpa of domestically produced LNG in 

a volume equivalent to approximately 

103.4 Bcf/yr of natural gas (0.28 Bcf/d). 

LLNG requests to export the LNG by 

vessel from the proposed Project to any 

country that does not have a FTA 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy. LLNG 

requests this authorization for a 25-year 

term commencing on the earlier of the 

date of first export or 10 years from the 

date the requested authorization is 

granted. 

LLNG requests this authorization on 

its own behalf and as agent for other 

entities who hold title to the LNG at the 

time of export. LLNG states that it 

expects to enter into Liquefaction 

Tolling Agreements (LTAs) under which 

individual customers who hold title to 

natural gas will have the right to deliver 

that gas to LLNG and receive LNG in 

return. According to LLNG, these 

contracts will be executed on a date 

closer to the date of first export. LLNG 

notes that the title holder at the point of 

export may be LLNG or one of LLNG’s 

customers, or another party that has 

purchased LNG from a customer 

pursuant to a long-term contract. 

LLNG states that it will comply with 

all DOE/FE requirements for exports 

and agents, including registration 

requirements. LLNG further states that, 

when acting as agent, it will register 

with DOE/FE each LNG title holder for 

which LLNG seeks to export LNG as 

agent, and will comply with other 

registration requirements as set forth in 

recent DOE/FE orders. 

LLNG seeks authorization to export 

natural gas available in the United 

States natural gas pipeline system. 

Specifically, LLNG anticipates that the 

sources of natural gas will include 

Texas and Louisiana producing regions 

and the offshore gulf producing regions, 

but may include natural gas produced 

throughout the United States. 

LLNG proposes to construct 

approximately 2.3 miles of 24-inch 

diameter natural gas pipeline. 

According to LLNG, the pipeline will 

interconnect with the High Point Gas 

Transmission interstate pipeline system 

located north of the proposed Project. 

LLNG states that this pipeline 

interconnection will provide LLNG 

access to approximately 1.4 Bcf/d of 

natural gas supplies from multiple 

supply basins, including four major 

interstate pipeline systems. LLNG 

further states that it will install metering 

and any additional compressors on the 

Project site. 

Public Interest Considerations 

LLNG contends that the Application 

fully addresses each of the public 

interest criteria applied by DOE/FE in 

reviewing export applications, and that

the proposed export is not inconsistent 

with the public interest. In support of 

the Application, LLNG addresses the 

following criteria: 

Domestic Need for the Gas. According 

to LLNG, DOE/FE has consistently 

found that the United States has 

sufficient natural gas supplies to 

support the proposed exports. LLNG 

asserts that, in several recent non-FTA 

conditional authorizations, DOE/FE 

reviewed three measures of supply as 

part of its analysis: (1) U.S. Energy 

Information Administration (EIA) 

Annual Energy Outlook natural gas 

estimates of production, price, and other 

domestic industry fundamentals; (2) 

proved reserves of natural gas; and (3) 

technically recoverable resources. LLNG 

maintains that all three measures of 

supply confirm that U.S. natural gas 

reserves are more than sufficient to meet 

long-term demand for both domestic 

consumption and the proposed exports. 

Therefore, LLNG contends that the 

proposed export authorization will not 

have a detrimental impact on the 

domestic supply of natural gas. 

Impact on U.S. Natural Gas Market 

Prices. LLNG maintains that the 

proposed exports will not have a 

significant impact on domestic natural 

gas prices. LLNG points to the second 

part of the two-part LNG Export Study 

commissioned by DOE/FE on the 

cumulative economic impacts of LNG 

exports.5 The study, conducted by 

NERA Economic Consulting (NERA), 

assessed the potential macroeconomic 

impact of LNG exports. LLNG cites 

NERA’s conclusions that: (i) across all 

scenarios studied, the United States is 

projected to gain net economic benefits 

from allowing LNG exports, and (ii) 

natural gas prices in the United States 

will not rise to the levels observed in 

other parts of the world. 

LLNG contends that NERA’s 

conclusions have been confirmed by 

numerous additional publicly available 

studies. According to LLNG, these 

studies are part of the growing body of 

evidence confirming that the export of 

domestically produced LNG, such as the 

exports requested in the Application, 

will have positive economic benefits for 

the United States as a whole. 

Economic Benefits. LLNG asserts that 

exporting natural gas that is not needed 

to serve U.S. demand promotes the 

President’s pro-export policies, 

including the National Export 

Initiative,6 while improving local, 

regional, and national economies 

through resource development, an 

enhanced tax base, job creation, and 

increased overall economic activity. 

LLNG emphasizes the jobs that will be 

created in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast 

related to the construction and 

operation of the Project. LLNG also 

asserts that that the requested 

authorization would positively impact 

the U.S. balance of trade. 

Benefits to National Energy Security. 

LLNG maintains that granting the 

requested authorization will spur energy 

production and the development of new 

resources, thereby enhancing national 

energy security. In addition to citing 

DOE/FE statements in past export 

orders, LLNG cites a study by the James 

A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at 

Rice University, which it states 

identifies the positive impacts of 

increased natural gas production on 

energy security.7

Environmental Benefits. LLNG 

maintains that LNG exports can have 

significant environmental benefits 

because natural gas is cleaner burning 

than other fossil fuels, such as coal. 

According to LLNG, an increased 

supply of natural gas made possible 

through the export of LNG can help 

countries reduce their usage of less 

environmentally-friendly fuels. 

Based on these factors, LLNG 

maintains that the proposed exports are 

not inconsistent with the public 

interest. Additional details can be found 

in LLNG’s Application, posted on the 

DOE/FE Web site at: http://energy.gov/ 

fe/downloads/louisiana-lng-energy-llcfe-dkt-no-14–29-lng. 

Environmental Impact 

LLNG states that it will file an 

application with FERC for authorization 

to construct the liquefaction facility. 

LLNG asks DOE/FE to issue this 

requested authorization conditioned on 

FERC’s completion of the NEPA review 

and approval of the required 

construction. LLNG states that it is 

standard practice for FERC to act as the 

lead agency for the environmental 

review, with DOE acting as a 

cooperating agency. 

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 

allowing commercial parties to freely 

negotiate their own trade arrangements. 

Parties that may oppose this 

Application should address these issues 

in their comments and/or protests, as 

well as other issues deemed relevant to 

the Application. 

NEPA requires DOE to give 

appropriate consideration to the 

environmental effects of its decisions. 

No final decision will be issued in this 

proceeding until DOE has met its 

environmental responsibilities. 

Due to the complexity of the issues 

raised by the Applicant, 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.
