<body>
<p>This action proposes to amend the regulations for the administrative procedures with respect to the import and export of natural gas to update and streamline the general requirements for filing documents with the Office of Fossil Energy (FE). Specifically, this change is made to remove references to offices that no longer exist, allow for the submission of documents online, allow for electronic service, update filing fee instructions, and remove the unnecessary and burdensome requirement that applicants submit multiple copies of applications, filings, and submittals.</p>
