SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Change in Control 

Currently, Driftwood LNG is an 

indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian), a Delaware 

corporation. Driftwood LNG states that, 

on July 21, 2024, Tellurian announced 

that it had entered into a definitive 

agreement with subsidiaries of 

Woodside Energy Group Ltd 

(Woodside), an Australian Company, 

pursuant to which a Woodside 

subsidiary will acquire all the 

outstanding shares of Tellurian 

(Proposed Transaction). Upon 

satisfaction of certain conditions 

precedent and completion of the 

Proposed Transaction, Tellurian will be 

a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of 

Woodside Energy Holdings (NA) LLC, a 

Delaware limited liability company with 

its principal place of business in 

Houston, Texas, and an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of Woodside. 

Driftwood LNG states that the 

Proposed Transaction is anticipated to 

close in the fourth quarter of 2024. 

Driftwood LNG further states that, after 

the Proposed Transaction is 

consummated, it will continue to be the 

sole holder of the export authorizations 

at issue. 

Charts illustrating the ownership 

structure of Driftwood LNG before and 

after the closing of the Proposed 

Transaction are attached to the 

Statement as Exhibit A. Additional 

details can be found in the Statement, 

posted on the DOE website at: https://

Dated%208-16-24%29.pdf. 

DOE Evaluation 

DOE will review the Statement in 

accordance with its CIC Procedures.1

Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this 

notice addresses Driftwood LNG’s 

existing authorization to export 

liquefied natural gas (LNG) to countries 

with which the United States has not 

entered into a free trade agreement 

(FTA) requiring national treatment for 

trade in natural gas (FTA countries) and 

with which trade is not prohibited by 

United States law or policy (non-FTA 

countries), granted in DOE/FE Order No. 

4373, as amended.2 If no interested 

person protests the change in control 

and DOE takes no action on its own 

motion, the proposed change in control 

will be deemed granted 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. If 

one or more protests are submitted, DOE 

will review any motions to intervene, 

protests, and answers, and will issue a 

determination as to whether the 

proposed change in control has been 

demonstrated to render the underlying 

authorizations inconsistent with the 

public interest. 

Public Comment Procedures

days from the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register to move 

to intervene, protest, and answer the

intervene, notices of intervention, and 

written comments are invited in 

response to this notice only as to the 

change in control described in the 

Statement. All protests, comments, 

motions to intervene, or notices of 

intervention must meet the 

requirements specified by DOE’s 

regulations in 10 CFR part 590, 

including the service requirements.

the following methods: 

(1) Submitting the filing electronically

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

newly established Privacy Act system of 

records. DOE proposes to establish 

System of Records DOE–85 Research, 

Technology, and Economic Security 

(RTES) Due Diligence Review Records 

as part of the Department’s 

implementation of Government-wide 

and Departmental RTES requirements 

included in National Security 

Presidential Memorandum–33 (NSPM– 

33), the CHIPS and Science Act, and 

other laws or Executive orders related to 

research security. Records in this system 

are maintained and used by the 

Department to track and monitor 

research, technology, and economic 

security risk assessments associated 

with the projects for which the 

Department receives applications, 

proposals, and submissions for research, 

development, deployment, 

demonstrations, commercialization, and 

scientific activities, and Departmental 

laboratories and facilities performing 

such activities, as well as certain highrisk non-scientific and non-research and 

development activities and for projects 

DOE otherwise is or is considering 

supporting. 

DATES: This new System of Records 

Notice (SORN) will become applicable 

following the end of the public 

comment period on October 9, 2024, 

unless comments are received that 

result in a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10102, 

735 17th Street NW, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE 

proposes to establish System of Records 

DOE–85 Research, Technology, and 

Economic Security (RTES) Due 

Diligence Review Records. Records in 

this system are maintained and used by 

the Department to track and monitor 

research, technology, and economic 

security risk assessments associated 

with the projects for which the 

Department receives applications, 

proposals, and submissions for research, 

development, deployment, 

demonstrations, commercialization, and 

scientific activities, and Departmental 

laboratories and facilities performing 

such activities, as well as certain nonscientific and non-research and 

development activities and for projects 

DOE/National Nuclear Security 

Administration (NNSA) is considering 

supporting. 

RTES requirements applicable to 

financial assistance agreements will be 

implemented through DOE/NNSA 

financial assistance policies, funding 

opportunity announcements, and award 

terms and conditions. RTES 

requirements applicable to 

Departmental laboratories and facilities 

will be implemented through 

Departmental policies, directives, and 

DOE/NNSA laboratory prime contract 

requirements. Section 10637 of the 

Research and Development, 

Competition, and Innovation Act (Pub. 

L. 117–167), part of the CHIPS and 

Science Act, provides that Federal 

agencies must ‘‘ensure that policies and 

activities developed and implemented 

pursuant to [the Act’s research security 

requirements] are carried out in a 

manner that does not target, stigmatize, 

or discriminate against individuals on 

the basis of race, ethnicity, or national 

origin, consistent with title VI of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 

2000d et seq.).’’ 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

DOE–85 Research, Technology, and 

Economic Security (RTES) Due 

Diligence Review Records. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Both classified and unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Systems leveraging this SORN may 

exist in multiple locations. All systems 

storing records in a cloud-based server 

are required to use governmentapproved cloud services and follow 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) security and privacy 

standards for access and data retention. 

Records maintained in a governmentapproved cloud server are accessed 

through secure data centers in the 

continental United States.
