SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Sempra LNG Marketing, a Delaware 

limited liability company with its 

principal place of business in San 

Diego, California, is a wholly-owned 

subsidiary of Sempra LNG, a Delaware 

corporation. Sempra LNG, through its 

other subsidiaries, owns and operates 

LNG receipt and storage terminals in 

North America, including the Cameron 

Terminal in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. 

Sempra LNG Marketing is engaged in 

the business of purchasing and 

marketing supplies of LNG. Sempra is a 

customer of the Cameron Terminal. On 

June 22, 2012, FE issued DOE/FE Order 

No. 3122, which granted Sempra LNG 

Marketing blanket authorization to 

import LNG from various international 

sources for a two year period beginning 

on September 1, 2012. On December 3, 

2010, FE issued Order No. 2885, which 

granted Sempra LNG Marketing 

authority to export a cumulative total of 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with 
76014 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 26, 2012 / Notices 

2 15 U.S.C. 717b.(a). Natural gas is defined to 

include LNG in 10 CFR part 590.102(i). 

3Sempra LNG Marketing referenced 49 FR 6684, 

February 22, 1984. 

4Quoting Order No. 2885 at 5. 

250 Bcf of previously imported LNG 

from the Cameron Terminal to any 

country with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy. The 

export authorization granted by Order 

No. 2885 is effective for a two year 

period that commenced on February 1, 

2011. 

Current Application 

In the instant Application, Sempra 

LNG Marketing requests blanket 

authorization to export LNG from the 

Cameron Terminal that has been 

previously imported into the United 

States from foreign sources. Sempra 

requests this authority over a two-year 

period in an amount up to the 

equivalent of 250 Bcf of natural gas, on 

a cumulative basis, over a two-year 

period beginning on February 1, 2013, 

immediately on expiration of the 

authorization in Order No. 2885. 

Sempra LNG Marketing is seeking such 

authorization to export previously 

imported LNG to any country with the 

capacity to import LNG via ocean-going 

carrier and with which trade is not 

prohibited by Federal law or policy. 

Sempra LNG Marketing states that it 

does not seek authorization to export 

domestically-produced natural gas or 

LNG. 

Sempra LNG Marketing states that its 

requested blanket authorization would 

provide the additional option of 

exporting volumes of foreign-sourced 

LNG that are not needed to service the 

domestic market. Sempra LNG 

Marketing states that it is not proposing, 

and is not seeking authorization to 

export any domestically produced 

natural gas or LNG. This application 

seeks authorization only to export LNG 

that has been previously imported into 

the United States. 

Sempra LNG Marketing asserts that no 

facility modifications or additions are 

required in order for it to export foreignsourced LNG from the Cameron 

Terminal. 

Public Interest Considerations 

Sempra LNG Marketing states that the 

requested blanket authorization will 

allow it to purchase LNG at prevailing 

international prices for import to the 

United States, even when prices in other 

markets may be higher, by giving it the 

ability to store LNG at the Cameron 

Terminal and later sell it in the most 

competitive market. Sempra LNG 

Marketing states that this ability to react 

to changing market conditions by either 

importing LNG for sale in the United 

States, or importing LNG for subsequent 

export to other markets will enhance the 

potential supply or natural gas in the 

U.S. market. Sempra LNG Marketing 

states that when gas supplies are in 

balance with domestic demand, LNG 

will be imported and used to 

supplement domestic gas supplies. 

When there is a surplus of domestic gas 

supplies, as at the present time, there 

will be the opportunity to import LNG 

with the ability to later export it to serve 

other markets. 

In support of its application, Sempra 

LNG Marketing states that section 3 of 

the NGA provides that application to 

export natural gas to foreign countries 

will be authorized unless there is a 

finding that they ‘‘will not be consistent 

with the public interest.2 Sempra LNG 

Marketing states that in reviewing an 

export application, FE applies the 

principles set forth in DOE Delegation 

Order No. 0204–111, which focuses 

primarily on the domestic need for the 

gas to be exported and the Secretary of 

Energy’s natural gas policy guidelines.3

Sempra LNG Marketing states that in 

its existing authorization to export 

foreign-sourced LNG granted in DOE/FE 

Order No. 2885, FE noted that the ‘‘U.S. 

consumers presently have access to 

substantial quantities of natural gas 

sufficient to meet domestic demand 

from multiple other sources at 

competitive prices without drawing on 

the LNG which Sempra LNG Marketing 

seeks to export.’’ 4 Sempra LNG 

Marketing asserts that the relevant 

circumstances have not changed in the 

nearly two years since that finding. 

Environmental Impact 

Sempra LNG Marketing states that no 

new facilities or modifications to any 

existing facilities at the Cameron 

Terminal would be required in order for 

Sempra LNG Marketing to export LNG 

from that facility. Sempra LNG 

Marketing asserts that exports of LNG 

from the Cameron Terminal also would 

not increase the number of LNG carriers 

that the Cameron Terminal is designed 

and authorized to accommodate. 

Finally, Sempra LNG Marketing states 

that granting this application will not 

constitute a federal action significantly 

affecting the human environment within 

the meaning of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 

U.S.C. 4321 et seq. 

DOE/FE Evaluation 

This export Application will be 

reviewed pursuant to section 3 of the 

NGA, as amended, and the authority 

contained in DOE Delegation Order No. 

00–002.00L (April 29, 2011) and DOE 

Redelegation Order No. 00–002.04E 

(April 29, 2011). In reviewing this LNG 

export Application, DOE will consider 

domestic need for the natural gas, as 

well as any other issues determined to 

be appropriate, including whether the 

arrangement is consistent with DOE’s 

policy of promoting competition in the 

marketplace by allowing commercial 

parties to freely negotiate their own 

trade arrangements. Persons that may 

oppose this Application should 

comment in their responses on these 

issues. 

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 NEPA 

responsibilities.

In response to this notice, any person 

may file a protest, comments, or a 

motion to intervene or notice of 

intervention, as applicable. Any person 

wishing to become a party to the 

proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene or notice of intervention, as 

applicable. The filing of comments or a 

protest with respect to the Application 

will not serve to make the commenter or 

protestant a party to the proceeding, 

although protests and comments 

received from persons who are not 

parties will be considered in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken on the Application. All protests, 

comments, motions to intervene or 

notices of intervention must meet the 

requirements specified by the 

regulations in 10 CFR part 590. The 

information contained in any filing will 

not be held confidential and will be 

posted to DOE’s public Web site except
