Maritime Administration 

Deepwater Port License: Amendment 

of the Neptune LNG LLC Deepwater 

Port License and Temporary 

Suspension of Operations at the 

Neptune LNG Deepwater Port 

AGENCY: Maritime Administration, 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of agency action. 

SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration 

(MARAD) provides notice of its decision 

to approve the request of Neptune LNG 

LLC (Neptune) to continue the 

suspension of port operations at the 

Neptune Deepwater Port (Neptune Port) 

by amending the Neptune Deepwater 

Port License (License). 

ADDRESSES: The Docket Management 

Facility maintains the public docket for 

this project. The docket may be viewed

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions about the Neptune 

Deepwater Port License Amendment 

and suspension of port operations, 

please contact Ms. Yvette M. Fields, 

Director, Office of Deepwater Ports and 

Offshore Activities at (202) 366–0926 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 19, 2021, MARAD received a 

written request from Neptune for 

authorization to temporarily suspend 

operations at the Neptune Port, located 

approximately 22 miles northeast of 

Boston, Massachusetts. In the request, 

Neptune indicated that conditions 

within the Northeast region’s natural gas 

market continue to impact the Neptune 

Port’s ability to import liquefied natural 

gas (LNG). As a result, the Neptune Port 

has remained inactive over the past 

several years and will likely remain 

inactive for the foreseeable future. For 

these reasons, Neptune requested 

MARAD’s authorization to formally 

extend the suspension of port 

operations for a period of three years. 

Pursuant 33 U.S.C. 1503(b)(2), the 

Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 

may, on petition of a licensee, amend a 

deepwater port license issued under the 

Deepwater Port Act of 1974, as 

amended. By delegation of the 

Secretary, MARAD has determined that 

the amendment of the license is 

consistent with the requirements of 33 

U.S.C. chapter 29 and has authorized 

amendment of the License to provide an 

additional three-year suspension of port 

operations. The amendment is 

applicable only to Articles 2, 6, and 19 

of the License. All other terms, 

conditions, and obligations of the 

License will remain in effect during and 

after the suspension period. The 

suspension period will become effective 

June 26, 2022, and will expire on June 

26, 2025. 

In order to resume operations prior to 

expiration of the suspension period, 

Neptune must petition MARAD for 

approval to resume port operations. The 

petition must be submitted at least six 

months prior to the proposed re-start 

date and certify that Neptune is in 

receipt of all applicable Federal and 

State permits, approvals, and 

authorizations. Should Neptune request 

an extension of the suspension period, 

such request must be submitted to 

MARAD no less than one hundred 

eighty calendar days prior to the 

expiration date of the suspension 

period. Thereafter, MARAD will 

evaluate, in consultation with the 

relevant Federal agencies, the 

appropriateness of such an extension. 

The final determination on any 

extension will be rendered by the 

Maritime Administrator or a designee 

acting on behalf of the Maritime 

Administrator. 

Additional information pertaining to 

this public notice may be found in the 

public docket regarding the Neptune 

Deepwater Port License online at

number USCG–2005–22611 (see
