AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE. 

ACTION: Amended notice of application 

and extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy 

(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) 

is amending a notice of application filed 

by SCT&E LNG, LLC (SCT&E LNG) on 

July 24, 2014, and published in the 

Federal Register on December 19, 2014 

(Notice).1 The amended notice adds two 

environmental documents to the record 

in the SCT&E LNG docket. It also 

extends the Public Comment Period, 

ending February 17, 2015, by 20 days, 

to March 12, 2015, to ensure that 

interested parties have sufficient 

opportunity to review the documents in 

filing any protests, motions to intervene, 

notices of intervention, or written 

comments in response to the 

Application. 

DATES: The Public Comment Period, 

ending February 17, 2015, is extended 

by 20 days to March 12, 2015. Protests, 

motions to intervene or notices of 

intervention, as applicable, requests for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 19, 2014, DOE/FE gave notice 

of receipt of an application 

(Application), filed on July 24, 2014 (79 

FR 75796). The Application, filed under 

section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), requests long-term, multicontract authorization to export 

domestically produced liquefied natural 

gas (LNG) to any country with which 

the United States does not have a free 

trade agreement requiring national 

treatment for trade in natural gas and 

with which trade is not prohibited by 

U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries). 

As set forth in the Notice, SCT&E LNG 

seeks authorization to export the LNG in 

a volume up to 12 million metric tons 

per annum, which SCT&E LNG states is 

equivalent to approximately 1.6 billion 

cubic feet (Bcf) per day of natural gas (or 

584 Bcf per year). SCT&E LNG seeks 

authorization to export the LNG by 

vessel from its proposed LNG terminal, 

which SCT&E LNG intends to construct, 

own, and operate on Monkey Island in 

the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron 

Parish, Louisiana.2

In the prior Notice, DOE/FE invited 

protests, motions to intervene, notices of 

intervention, and written comments on 

the Application during a 60-day Public 

Comment Period, which is currently 

scheduled to close no later than 4:30 

p.m., Eastern time, February 17, 2015. 

After publication of the Notice, 

however, DOE/FE determined that it 

had inadvertently omitted two 

environmental documents from the 

record in the SCT&E LNG docket that 

potentially bear on SCT&E LNG’s 

requested authorization. Therefore, 

DOE/FE is amending one section of the 

Notice, entitled ‘‘DOE/FE Evaluation,’’ 

to add the two documents identified 

below to the SCT&E LNG docket. 

Additionally, to provide interested 

parties with sufficient opportunity to 

review these documents in filing any 

protests, motions to intervene, notices of 

intervention, or written comments, 

DOE/FE is extending the comment 

period by 20 days. All other provisions 

and procedures of the Notice remain the 

same. The ‘‘DOE/FE Evaluation’’ section 

of the Notice is now amended to read 

as follows: 

FDOE/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. 

Additionally, DOE will consider the 

following environmental documents: 

• Addendum to Environmental 

Review Documents Concerning Exports 

of Natural Gas From the United States, 

79 FR 48132 (Aug. 15, 2014); 3 and 

• Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas

Natural Gas From the United States, 79 

FR 32260 (June 4, 2014).4

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. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq., 

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 

environmental responsibilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Commission was 

established to provide advice to the 

Secretary of Energy on the Department’s 

national laboratories. The Commission 

will review the DOE national 

laboratories for alignment with the 

Department’s strategic priorities, clear 

and balanced missions, unique 

capabilities to meet current energy and 

national security challenges, 

appropriate size to meet the 

Department’s energy and national 

security missions, and support of other 

Federal agencies. The Commission will 

also look for opportunities to more 

effectively and efficiently use the 

capabilities of the national laboratories 

and review the use of laboratory 

directed research and development 

(LDRD) to meet the Department’s 

science, energy, and national security 

goals. 

Given the broad scope and aggressive 

timeline for the report, the Secretary of 

Energy and Congress agreed to split the 

study into two phases. The Interim 

Report contains the preliminary 

observations and recommendations 

found in Phase 1 of the study, which 

consisted of literature review, visits to 

five of the National Laboratories; 

interviews with staff from across the 

National Laboratories, DOE, other 

Federal agencies, companies, other nongovernmental organizations, and 

additional interested parties; and 

presentations at public Commission 

meetings. In Phase 2, the Commission 

will refine the conclusions of the 

Interim Report and focus on operational 

issues affecting the efficiency and 

effectiveness of the work of the National 

Laboratories in carrying out their 

missions. The commissioners will visit 

the remaining 12 National Laboratories. 

The Final Report is anticipated in early 

Fall 2015. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on February 10, 

2015.
