The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on November 6, 2015, by Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (Sabine Pass), requesting blanket authorization to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) in an amount up to the equivalent of 600 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas on a cumulative basis over a two-year period commencing on the earlier of the date of first short-term export or January 15, 2016. The LNG would be exported from the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project (Liquefaction Project) located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, to any country with the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy. To date, Sabine Pass has been granted long-term, multi-contract authorization under DOE/FE Order No. 2961-A to export LNG in a volume equivalent to 803 Bcf per year of natural gas from the Liquefaction Project to non- FTA countries, for a 20-year term.\1\ Sabine Pass states that, in anticipation of the start of liquefaction operations at the Liquefaction Project, it requests this blanket authorization to engage in short-term exports of LNG produced both prior to commercial operations as well as subsequent to commercial operations if and when appropriate market opportunities arise. According to Sabine Pass, the requested blanket authorization will provide enhanced operational flexibility and the ability to export produced LNG cargoes that may be rejected by customers under long-term contracts. Sabine Pass seeks to export this LNG on its own behalf and as agent for other parties who will hold title to the LNG at the time of export. The Application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional details can be found in Sabine Pass's Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at: http://energy.gov/fe/downloads/sabine-pass-liquefaction-llc- fe-dkt-no-15-171-lng ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[FE Docket No. 15-171-LNG]


Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC; Application for Blanket 
Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade 
Agreement Nations on a Short-Term Basis

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy 
(DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application (Application), filed on 
November 6, 2015, by Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (Sabine Pass), 
requesting blanket authorization to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
in an amount up to the equivalent of 600 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of 
natural gas on a cumulative basis over a two-year period commencing on 
the earlier of the date of first short-term export or January 15, 2016. 
The LNG would be exported from the Sabine Pass Liquefaction Project 
(Liquefaction Project) located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, to any 
country with the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier and 
with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy. To date, 
Sabine Pass has been granted long-term, multi-contract authorization 
under DOE/FE Order No. 2961-A to export LNG in a volume equivalent to 
803 Bcf per year of natural gas from the Liquefaction Project to non-
FTA countries, for a 20-year term.\1\ Sabine Pass states that, in 
anticipation of the start of liquefaction operations at the 
Liquefaction Project, it requests this blanket authorization to engage 
in short-term exports of LNG produced both prior to commercial 
operations as well as subsequent to commercial operations if and when 
appropriate market opportunities arise. According to Sabine Pass, the 
requested blanket authorization will provide enhanced operational 
flexibility and the ability to export produced LNG cargoes that may be 
rejected by customers under long-term contracts. Sabine Pass seeks to 
export this LNG on its own behalf and as agent for other parties who 
will hold title to the LNG at the time of export. The Application was 
filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). Additional details 
can be found in Sabine Pass's Application, posted on the DOE/FE Web 
site at: http://energy.gov/fe/downloads/sabine-pass-liquefaction-llc-fe-dkt-no-15-171-lng
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See App. at 2-3 & n.6 (describing the various DOE/FE 
authorizations granted for the first four liquefaction trains 
comprising Stages 1 and 2 of the Liquefaction Project). In addition, 
on April 20, 2015, Sabine Pass submitted an application to DOE/FE 
requesting long-term, multi-contract authorization to export up to 
the equivalent of an additional 203 Bcf per year of natural gas from 
the Liquefaction Project to non-FTA countries for a 20-year term. 
That application is currently pending in FE Docket No. 15-63-LNG. 
See id. at 3 & n.8. Protests, motions to intervene, notices of 
intervention, and written comments are invited.

DATES: Protests, motions to intervene or notices of intervention, as 
applicable, requests for additional procedures, and written comments 
are to be filed using procedures detailed in the Public Comment 
Procedures section no later than 4:30 p.m., Eastern time, December 23,

17, 2014). In reviewing this Application, DOE will consider domestic 
need for the natural gas, as well as any other issues determined to be 
appropriate, including whether the arrangement is consistent with DOE's 
policy of promoting competition in the marketplace by allowing 
commercial parties to freely negotiate their own trade arrangements. 
Additionally, DOE will consider the following environmental documents:
