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.

DOE Evaluation 

DOE will review the Notice in 

accordance with its Procedures for 

Changes in Control Affecting 

Applications and Authorizations to 

Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC 

Procedures).1 Consistent with the CIC 

Procedures, this notice addresses LCE’s 

existing authorizations to export LNG to 

non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) 

countries, as identified in the Notice.2 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 

Notice.3 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 Notice. All protests, 

comments, motions to intervene, or 

notices of intervention must meet the 

requirements specified by DOE’s 

regulations in 10 CFR part 590, 

including the service requirements. 

As noted, DOE is only accepting 

electronic submissions at this time.
