Title: Small-Scale Natural Gas Exports | |
Abstract:
This rule would revise DOE regulations implementing section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C. 717b(a), for "qualifying small-scale" exports of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas. Under this rule, DOE would issue an order upon receipt of any application that seeks to export natural gas to non-FTA countries, provided the application meets the criteria for small-scale exports. In promulgating this rule, DOE would clarify its interpretation of "public interest" under NGA section 3(a). The intent of the rule is to improve DOE’s application procedures related to natural gas exports, reduce the administrative burdens associated with the small-scale natural gas export market, and result in more efficient processing of applications for small-scale natural gas exports. |
