Title: Revision of LNG/LHG Facility Application Requirements
Abstract: This project would revise 33 CFR part 127 requirements for waterfront facilities that handle liquid hazardous gas (LHG) and liquid natural gas (LNG). It would harmonize Coast Guard regulations with those of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for LNG issues. It would also include requirements for LHG facilities that are similar to those for LNG facilities. Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: The Coast Guard is codifying a current industry practice for a Waterway Suitability Assessment, which FERC requires for LNG facilities. The requirements for LHG facilities are very similar to LNG facilities. However, current requirements for LHG are not as security-robust as proposed. These security regulations address the potential under-provision of security since operators cannot capture the full marginal social benefits of security.
