BILLING CODE 4000–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Alaska LNG Project 

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: On April 15, 2021, the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil 

Energy (DOE/FE) granted a request for 

rehearing of a final order issued to 

Alaska LNG Project LLC (Alaska LNG) 

for the export of liquefied natural gas 

(LNG) produced from Alaskan sources 

to non-free trade agreement countries, 

pursuant to the Natural Gas Act (NGA). 

In the Rehearing Order, DOE stated that 

it was granting rehearing for the purpose 

of conducting two Alaska-specific 

environmental studies (collectively, the 

Alaska environmental study 

proceeding). To this end, DOE intends 

to prepare a supplemental 

environmental impact statement (SEIS) 

for the Alaska environmental study 

proceeding (DOE/EIS–0512–S1), 

consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

SEIS will include analysis of potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

natural gas production on the North 

Slope of Alaska and a life cycle analysis 

(LCA) calculating the greenhouse gas 

(GHG) emissions for LNG exported from 

the proposed Alaska LNG Project. 

ADDRESSES: Documents related to the 

SEIS process will be posted at: https:// 

energy.gov/nepa/doeeis-0512-s1- 

supplemental-environmental-impactstatement-alaska-lng-project. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions concerning the SEIS or 

requests to be placed on the SEIS 

distribution list should be sent to: Brian

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 20, 2020, DOE issued 

DOE/FE Order No. 3643–A (the Alaska 

LNG Order) 1 to Alaska LNG Project LLC 

(Alaska LNG) under section 3(a) of the 

NGA.2 DOE/FE authorized Alaska LNG 

to export LNG produced from Alaskan 

sources to any country with which the 

United States has not entered into a free 

trade agreement (FTA) requiring 

national treatment for trade in natural 

gas, and with which trade is not 

prohibited by U.S. law or policy (nonFTA countries). Alaska LNG is 

authorized to export LNG in a volume 

equivalent to 929 billion cubic feet per 

year (Bcf/yr) of natural gas (2.55 Bcf per 

day), for a term of 30 years, with export 

operations required to commence 

within 12 years of the date that the 

Alaska LNG Order was issued. Exports 

will occur by vessel from a liquefaction 

facility to be constructed in the Nikiski 

area of the Kenai Peninsula in south 

central Alaska (Liquefaction Facility), 

which will be part of the proposed 

Alaska LNG Project.3

Alaska Gasline Development 

Corporation (AGDC), an independent, 

public corporation of the State of 

Alaska, applied to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) for 

authorization to site, construct, and 

operate the Alaska LNG Project. As 

approved by FERC on May 21, 2020,4

the Alaska LNG Project includes the 

following three elements: 

(i) Producing natural gas from stranded 

resources on the North Slope of Alaska at a 

proposed natural gas treatment plant to be 

located on the North Slope; 

(ii) Transporting the natural gas on a 

proposed 800-mile long pipeline; and 

(iii) Liquefying the natural gas for export 

from the proposed Liquefaction Facility, 

which has a planned liquefaction capacity of 

20 million metric tons per year of LNG 

(equivalent to approximately 929 Bcf/yr of 

natural gas).5

In sum, AGDC holds the FERC 

authorization for the Alaska LNG 

Project, and Alaska LNG holds the DOE 

authorization to export LNG from the 

Alaska LNG Project. Both the DOE and 

FERC authorizations have been 

challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. 

Circuit).6 Those lawsuits are ongoing 

and are currently subject to various 

pending procedural motions. 

To fulfill its obligations under NEPA,7

DOE/FE participated as a cooperating 

agency in FERC’s review of the Alaska 

LNG Project.8 FERC issued the final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Alaska LNG Project on March 6, 

2020,9 and DOE/FE adopted the final 

EIS on March 16, 2020 (DOE/EIS– 

0512).10 Subsequently, DOE/FE issued 

the Alaska LNG Order, conditioning it 

on Alaska LNG’s compliance with the 

165 environmental conditions adopted 

in the FERC Order (see supra note 4), 

among other requirements.11
