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 August 31, 2012, 

by Cheniere Marketing, LLC (CMI), 

requesting long-term, multi-contract 

authorization to export up to 782 

million MMBtu per year of LNG, 

equivalent to approximately 767 Bcf per 

year of natural gas, for a period of 22 

years beginning on the earlier of the 

date of first export or eight years from 

the date the authorization is granted by 

DOE/FE. The LNG would be exported 

from the proposed Corpus Christi 

Liquefaction Project (CCL Project) to be 

located near Corpus Christi, Texas, to 

any country with which the United 

States does not have now or in the 

future has a free trade agreement (FTA) 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas and LNG; that has, or in the 

future develops, the capacity to import 

LNG; and with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy. On 

October 10, 2012, in a letter to DOE/FE, 

CMI clarified that it 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

CMI, a Delaware limited liability 

company with its principal place of 

business in Houston, Texas, is affiliated 

with Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC 

(CCL) and Cheniere Corpus Christi 

Pipeline, L.P. (CCP), the developers of 

the CCL Project. CMI is an indirect 

subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. 

(Cheniere Energy), a Delaware 

corporation with its primary place of 

business in Houston, Texas. Cheniere 

Energy is a developer of LNG terminals 

and natural gas pipelines on the Gulf 

Coast, including the CCL Project. CMI is 

authorized to do business in the States 

of Texas and Louisiana. 

CMI states that it is filing this 

Application in conjunction with the 

CCL Project being developed by CMI’s 

affiliates, CCL and CCP, at the site of the 

previously authorized CCLNG import 

terminal and associated pipeline in San 

Patricia and Nueces Counties Texas.1

CMI states that, concurrent with this 

Application, CCL is filing an application 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) for authorization 

pursuant to Section 3(a) of the NGA to 

site, construct, and operate the CCL 

Terminal facilities (CCL Terminal). In 

addition, CCP is filing an application 

with the FERC pursuant to Section 7(c) 

of the NGA to construct, own, and 

operate the Corpus Christi Pipeline 

(Pipeline) to connect the CCL Terminal 

facilities to interstate and intrastate 

natural gas supplies and markets. 

On August 31, 2012, in FE Docket No. 

12–99–LNG, CMI filed with DOE/FE a 

separate application for long-term multicontract authorization to engage in the 

export of LNG in an amount up to 782 

million MMBtu per year, to any country 

with which the U.S. does not now or in 

the future will have an FTA requiring 

the national treatment for trade in 

natural gas and LNG; that has 

developed, or in the future develops, the 

capacity to import LNG; and with which 

trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or 

policy. DOE/FE subsequently issued an 

order in FE Docket No 12–99–LNG 

granting long-term export authorization 

to FTA countries from the CCL Project.2

Current Application 

In the instant Application, CMI seeks 

long-term, multi-contract authorization 

to export up to 782 million MMBtu per 

year of LNG, equivalent to 

approximately 767 Bcf per year of 

natural gas, for a period of 22 years 

beginning on the earlier of the date of 

first export or eight years from the date 

the authorization is granted by DOE/FE. 

CMI requests authorization to export 

LNG to any country with which the 

United States does not have an FTA 

requiring national treatment for trade in 

natural gas, that has, or in the future 

develops, the capacity to import LNG, 

and with which trade is not prohibited 

by U.S. law or policy. 

CMI states that the CCL Project will be 

located on the northern shore of the La 

Quinta Channel north and east of the 

City of Corpus Christi, Texas. CMI states 

that the CCL Project will include three 

ConocoPhillips Optimized CascadeSM

LNG trains, each with a nominal 

liquefaction capacity of approximately 

five million metric tons per year. CMI 

states that the CCL Project will be 

designed to export 782 million MMBtu 

of LNG per year and to import up to 

400,000 MMBtu of LNG per day. CMI 

states that at the CCL Project site, 

natural gas will be liquefied into LNG 

and stored in three 160,000 cubic meters 

full-containment LNG storage tanks. 

CMI further states that the LNG will be 

exported on LNG carriers that will 

arrive at the CCL Terminal through the 

La Quinta Channel in the Corpus Christi 

Bay. 

CMI states that concurrent with this 

Application, CCL is filing an application 

with the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (FERC) for authorization 

pursuant to Section 3(a) of the NGA to 

site, construct and operate the CCL 

Terminal, and CCP is filing an 

application with FERC pursuant to 

Section 7(c) of the NGA to construct, 

own and operate the Corpus Christi 

Pipeline to connect the CCL Terminal 

facilities to interstate and intrastate 

natural gas supplies and markets.3 DOE/ 

FE will act as a cooperating agency in 

the FERC’s environmental review 

process for the CCL Project and in the 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment (EA) or environmental 

impact statement (EIS) to satisfy DOE/ 

FE’s NEPA responsibilities. 

CMI states that it proposes to source 

natural gas to be used as feedstock for 

LNG production at the CCL Project from 

the interstate and intrastate grid at 

points of interconnection with other 

pipelines and points of liquidity both 

upstream and downstream of the 

Pipeline. CMI notes that through the 

Pipeline’s interconnects with various 

interstate and intrastate pipeline 

systems, the CCL Project will have 

access to virtually any point on the U.S. 

interstate pipeline system through direct 

delivery or by displacement. 

CMI states that it currently is engaged 

in commercial discussions with CCL to 

obtain all the available liquefaction 

capacity at the CCL Terminal. CMI 

states that either CMI or the CCL Project 

will bear the responsibility for sourcing 

gas supplies for delivery to the CCL 

Terminal. CMI states that CCL will 

commence negotiations with CCP for 

transportation capacity on the Pipeline 

once commercial discussion between 

CCL and CMI progress. 

CMI states that it will comply with all 

DOE/FE requirements for exporters and 

agents, including the registration 

requirements as first established in 

Freeport LNG Development, L.P., DOE/ 

FE Order No. 2913 and most recently set 

forth in Excelerate Liquefaction 

Solutions I, LLC, DOE/FE Order No. 

3128.4


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with 
64966 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 24, 2012 / Notices 

CMI states that it has not yet entered 

into any long-term gas supply or longterm export contracts with regards to 

this Application. CMI states that, 

accordingly, it is not submitting 

transaction-specific information (e.g., 

long-term supply agreements and longterm export agreements) at this time and 

requests that DOE/FE make a similar 

finding to that made in Sabine Pass 

Liquefaction, LLC, DOE/FE Order No. 

2961, issued on May 20, 2011, in Docket 

No. 10–111–LNG, with regard to the 

transaction-specific information 

requested in Section 590.202(b) of the 

DOE regulations. CMI states that it is 

cognizant of the DOE/FE Policy 

Guidelines (of 1984) and expects to 

enter into export transactions that are 

responsive to the relative level of 

natural gas prices in the United States, 

similar to those entered into in 

connection with the Sabine Pass 

liquefaction and export project (DOE/FE 

Docket No. 10–111–LNG), thereby 

creating supply to mitigate price 

impacts if the U.S. market is in greater 

need of natural gas than would 

otherwise be exported. 

Lastly, CMI requests that DOE/FE 

issue a conditional Order authorizing 

the export of domestically produced 

LNG as requested in this Application by 

February 2013, followed by issuance of 

a final order immediately upon 

completion of the environmental review 

of the CCL Project by the FERC. 

Public Interest Considerations 

CMI states that it proposed the project 

in part due to the improved outlook for 

domestic natural gas production, owing 

to drilling productivity gains that have 

enabled rapid growth in new supplies in 

South Texas and elsewhere in the 

United States. CMI contends that 

improvements in drilling and extraction 

technologies have coincided with a 

rapid diffusion of knowledge in the 

natural gas industry of the resource base 

and best practices in drilling and 

resource development. CMI notes that 

these changes have rendered obsolete 

once prominent concerns of declining 

future domestic natural gas production. 

CMI maintains that authorizing exports 

of LNG will further the responsible 

development of these emerging sources 

of domestic natural gas, providing a 

positive market solution that will: 

(1) Raise domestic natural gas 

productive capacity and promote 

stability in domestic natural gas pricing, 

(2) Stimulate the regional, state, and 

national economy through job creation 

and increased economic activity, 

(3) Promote the liberalization of 

contract structures in global LNG 

markets by lowering the cost of energy 

in foreign nations, thereby fostering 

economic growth abroad and creating 

demand for U.S.-sourced goods and 

services, 

(4) Expand economic activity and job 

creation in the domestic natural gas and 

petrochemicals sectors, 

(5) Promote greater national security 

by expanding American influence in 

international energy markets while 

enabling greater production in domestic 

petroleum basins, 

(6) Improve the U.S. balance of 

payments between $5.88 billion and 

$9.52 billion annually through the 

exportation of natural gas and the 

displacement of imports of other 

petroleum liquids, and 

(7) Increase economic trade and ties 

with foreign trading partners and 

hemispheric allies, and displace 

environmentally damaging fuels in 

those countries. 

In support of its Application, CMI 

commissioned a report from Advanced 

Resources International (ARI), titled 

U.S. Natural Gas Resources and 

Productive Capacity: Mid-2012 (ARI 

Resource Report), to assess the scope of 

domestic natural gas resources and their 

potential for future recovery. CMI states 

that the ARI Resource Report, as well as 

publicly available information, 

demonstrates that the U.S. has 

significant natural gas resources 

available to meet projected future 

domestic needs, including the quantities 

contemplated for export under this 

Application. CMI also states that the 

ARI Resource Report establishes that the 

availability of new natural gas reserves 

is likely to continue expanding into the 

future as new unconventional 

formations are discovered and the oil 

and gas industry continues to improve 

drilling and extraction techniques. CMI 

further states that the ARI Resource 

Report also shows that the incremental 

price impact of such exports is modest 

in comparison to the benefits garnered 

by the CCL Project, and when compared 

to the normal year-to-year price 

volatility in the natural gas market, is 

statistically insignificant. 

In support of its Application, CMI 

also commissioned a report from the 

Perryman Group, titled The Anticipated 

Impact of Cheniere’s Proposed Corpus 

Christi Liquefaction Facility on Business 

Activity in Corpus Christi, Texas, and 

the US (Perryman Report). Based on this 

report, CMI presents the following 

reasons why the CCL Project is in the 

public interest: 

First, with respect to economic 

activity, the Perryman Report estimates 

that the cumulative beneficial direct 

impact to business activity and tax 

receipts due to the construction and 

operation of the CCL project over 25 

years will range from $9.9 billion to 

$11.2 billion to the regional economy, 

$19.6 billion to $23.5 billion to the 

Texas economy, and $25.5 billion to 

$31.1 billion to the U.S. economy. 

Second, the Perryman Report 

estimates that the total indirect benefits 

due to enhanced natural gas exploration 

and production investments over 25 

years made possible by the CCL Project 

will be $13.8 billion to the regional 

economy, $101.0 billion to the Texas 

economy, and $111.4 billion to the U.S. 

economy. 

Third, with respect to job creation, the 

Perryman Report estimates the 

construction and operation of the CCL 

Project over 25 years will create 

between 39,823 and 52,613 jobs 

nationwide, and that an additional 

44,341 jobs will be indirectly generated 

owing to stimulus in the E&P sector. 

Fourth, CMI states that another 

indirect benefit of the CCL Project will 

be captured by the chemical industry, 

which CMI says will be advantageously 

impacted by the additional production 

of NGLs, such as ethane, made possible 

through LNG exports. CMI states that 

the economic benefits due to the 

construction of new chemical 

manufacturing facilities supported by 

exports from the CCL Project will be 

$1.1 billion to the regional economy, 

$2.1 billion to the Texas economy, and 

$3.0 billion to the U.S. economy. 

CMI states that these as well as other 

benefits enumerated in this Application 

compellingly demonstrate that the 

export of LNG and the approval of this 

Application are in the public interest. 

Further details can be found in the 

Application, which has been posted at 

http://www.fe.doe.gov/programs/ 

gasregulation/index.html. 

Environmental Impact 

CMI states that the potential 

environment impacts of the Project will 

be reviewed by the FERC under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA). CMI notes that DOE/FE has 

agreed to act as a cooperating agency in 

the environmental review process for 

the CCL project, including the 

preparation of an EA or EIS, which will 

satisfy the NEPA responsibilities 

associated with the LNG exports as 

proposed in the Application. 

Accordingly, CMI requests that DOE/FE 

issue a conditional order authorizing the 

export of LNG as requested in the 

Application, conditioned on completion 

of the environmental review of the CCL 

Project by the FERC.
