2021-01765/protecting-public-health-and-theenvironment-and-restoring-science-to-tackle-theclimate-crisis. E.O. 13990 directs agencies to 

‘‘immediately review’’ all regulations, orders, and 

other actions issued after January 20, 2017, that may 

increase GHG emissions or have other impacts on 

climate change. 

15Exec. Order No. 14008 of Jan. 27, 2021, 

Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, 

86 FR 7619 (Feb. 1, 2021), available at: https://

www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/02/01/ 

2021-02177/tackling-the-climate-crisis-at-homeand-abroad. E.O. 14008 sets forth additional 

policies to address climate change—specifically to 

‘‘organize and deploy the full capacity of [Federal] 

agencies to combat the climate crisis’’—and 

requires the ‘‘Federal Government [to] drive 

assessment, disclosure, and mitigation of climate 

pollution and climate-related risks in every sector’’ 

of the U.S. economy. 

16See Rehearing Order at 12–13. 

17 DOE/FE previously has explained that a LCA 

is a method of accounting for cradle-to-grave GHG 

emissions over a single common denominator. DOE 

considers GHG emissions from all processes in the 

LNG supply chains—from the ‘‘cradle’’ when 

natural gas is extracted from the ground, to the 

‘‘grave’’ when electricity is used by the consumer. 

See U.S. Dep’t of Energy, Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas 

Perspective on Exporting Liquefied Natural Gas 

From the United States: 2019 Update—Response to 

Comments, 85 FR 72, 76 (Jan. 2, 2020); see also 

Rehearing Order at 14 n.90. 

Sierra Club filed a Request for 

Rehearing of the Alaska LNG Order, and 

AGDC filed a Motion for Leave to 

Answer and Answer to Sierra Club’s 

Request for Rehearing.12 On April 15, 

2021, DOE/FE issued the Rehearing 

Order in which DOE/FE: (i) Granted 

AGDC’s Motion for Leave to Answer; (ii) 

granted Sierra Club’s Rehearing Request 

for the purpose of conducting the 

Alaska environmental study proceeding; 

and (ii) denied Sierra Club’s request for 

DOE/FE to withdraw the Alaska LNG 

Order, without prejudice to Sierra 

Club’s ability to request relief in the 

future, should circumstances change.13

DOE/FE explained that, since the 

issuance of the Alaska LNG Order and 

while DOE/FE’s action on Sierra Club’s 

Rehearing Request was pending, the 

President had issued two Executive 

Orders (E.O.) relevant to the Alaska LNG 

proceeding: E.O. 13990, Protecting 

Public Health and the Environment and 

Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate 

Crisis,14 and E.O. 14008, Tackling the 

Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.15

Consistent with these Executive Orders 

and to address Sierra Club’s arguments 

on rehearing, DOE stated that it was 

appropriate to further evaluate the 

environmental impacts of exporting 

LNG from the proposed Alaska LNG 

Project to non-FTA countries. Therefore, 

DOE/FE announced that it was 

commissioning the Alaska 

environmental study proceeding.16

Supplemental EIS (SEIS) 

DOE/FE intends to prepare a SEIS for 

the Alaska environmental study 

proceeding. The SEIS will include an 

upstream analysis of potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

natural gas production on the North 

Slope of Alaska. This analysis will 

examine potential upstream impacts 

associated with incremental natural gas 

production on the North Slope of Alaska 

due to Alaska LNG’s exports of LNG. 

In addition, the SEIS will include a 

LCA calculating the GHG emissions for 

LNG exported from the proposed Alaska 

LNG Project, taking into account unique 

issues relating to production, pipeline 

transportation, and liquefaction in 

Alaska.17 Specifically, the LCA will 

examine the life cycle GHG emissions 

for LNG exported from Alaska by vessel 

to import markets in Asia (the markets 

targeted for exports from Alaska) and 

potentially in other regions. 

DOE/FE has commissioned DOE’s 

National Energy Technology Laboratory 

(NETL) to conduct both studies. 

Potential Areas of Environmental 

Analysis 

For the upstream production study, 

DOE/FE has tentatively identified the 

following resource areas for analysis 

(although the following list is not 

intended to be comprehensive or to 

predetermine the potential impacts to be 

analyzed): Land use and visual 

resources; geology and soils; water 

resources; air quality and noise; 

ecological resources; cultural and 

paleontological resources; 

infrastructure; waste management; 

occupational and public health and 

safety; socioeconomics; transportation; 

and environmental justice. For the LCA, 

DOE/FE will examine the global nature 

of GHG emissions associated with 

exports of LNG from Alaska from a life 

cycle perspective, as stated previously. 

NEPA Process and Public Participation 

in the SEIS 

DOE/FE will prepare the SEIS in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations at 40 CFR parts 1500–1508 

and DOE NEPA implementing 

procedures at 10 CFR part 1021. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1021.311(f), a 

public scoping process is not required 

for a DOE-issued SEIS. DOE/FE will 

issue a notice in the Federal Register 

detailing the release of the draft SEIS, 

dates of one or more internet-based 

public hearings, and instructions for 

submitting public comments.
