 DATES: Protests, motions to intervene, or notices of intervention, as applicable, and written comments are to be filed electronically as detailed in the Public Comment Procedures section no later 
                        ( print page 19083)

 ADDRESSES:  *Electronic Filing by email: fergas@hq.doe.gov* Although DOE has routinely accepted public comment submissions through a variety of mechanisms, including postal mail and hand delivery/courier, the Department has found it necessary to make temporary modifications to the comment submission process in light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. DOE is currently accepting only electronic submissions at this time. If a commenter finds that this change poses an undue hardship, please contact Office of Resource Sustainability staff at (202) 586-4749 or (202) 586-7893 to discuss the need for alternative arrangements. Once the Covid-19 pandemic health emergency is resolved, DOE anticipates resuming all of its regular options for public comment submission, including postal mail and hand delivery/courier.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Summary of Change in Control The Authorization Holders state that the ownership change described in the Statement is the result of the acquisition (Transaction) by Black Silverback ZC 2022 LP (Black Silverback), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) (collectively, Buyer), of a non-controlling 10% interest in the equity of Sempra Infrastructure Partners, LP (SI Partners).[1]
                    
                     As set forth in the Statement, SI Partners is an upstream owner of the Authorization Holders. The Authorization Holders further state that, at the time of the closing of the Transaction, Sempra Energy will continue to maintain control of SI Partners as the 70% majority owner, with Buyer having certain customary minority protections. As shown in Appendix B to the Statement (Post-Transaction Organizational Structure), KKR Pinnacle will retain its 20% non-controlling equity interest in SI Partners. The Authorization Holders state that Sempra Energy and the other partners of SI Partners will enter into a second amended and restated agreement of limited partnership of SI Partners, which will govern Sempra Energy's and SI Partners' minority owners' respective rights and obligations with respect to their ownership of SI Partners. Additional details can be found in the Statement, posted on the DOE website at: 
                    *https://www.energy.gov/​sites/​default/​files/​2022-02/​Cameron%20LNG%20LLC%20et%20al.%20-%20Change%20in%20Control%20Filing_​.pdf.* DOE Evaluation DOE will review the Statement in accordance with its Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).[2]
                    
                     Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this notice addresses the Authorization Holders' various existing authorizations to export LNG to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries, as identified in the Statement.[3]
                    
                     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 Interested persons will be provided 15 days from the date of publication of this notice in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     to move to intervene, protest, and answer the Authorization Holders' Statement.[4]
                    
                     Protests, motions to 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. As noted, DOE is only accepting electronic submissions at this time. Please email the filing to

                         The Authorization Holders state that ADIA is an independent investment institution established by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Accordingly, the described change in control may also require the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). DOE expresses no opinion regarding the need for review by CFIUS. Additional information may be obtained at:
