SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Change in Control

    As noted above, the Statement is intended to inform DOE/FE about a 
change in control of the upstream ownership of FLIQ1. The Statement 
indicates that FLIQ1 is 100 percent owned by FLIQ1 Holdings, LLC 
(Holdings) and 25 percent of Holdings is owned by Osaka Gas 
Liquefaction USA Corporation, 25 percent by Chubu Electric Power 
Company Freeport, Inc., and 50 percent by Freeport LNG Expansion, L.P. 
The Statement does not propose to change these ownership stakes. 
However, the Statement proposes a change to the ownership of Chubu 
Electric Power Company Freeport, Inc. Whereas, prior to the change in 
control, 100 percent of Chubu Electric Power Company Freeport, Inc. was 
owned by Chubu Electric Power Company, after the change, Chubu Electric 
Power Company Freeport, Inc. will be 100 percent owned by a joint 
venture called JERA Co., Inc. In this regard, JERA Co., Inc. is 50 
percent owned by Chubu Electric Power Company and 50 percent is owned 
by Tokyo Electric Power Fuel & Thermal Power Generation Business Split 
Preparation Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Electric 
Power Company, Incorporated. Additional details can be found in the 
Statement, posted on the DOE/FE Web site at http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2016/03/f30/ChubuJERA%20CIC%20Notice%2003%2002%202016_1.pdf.

DOE/FE Evaluation

    DOE/FE will review the Statement \3\ in accordance with its 
Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and 
Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Revised 
Procedures).\4\ Consistent with the CIC Revised Procedures, this Notice 
addresses only those FLEX proceedings in which final authorizations 
have been issued to export LNG to non-FTA countries. The affected 
proceedings include DOE/FE Docket Nos. 10-161-LNG and 11-161-LNG.\5\ If 
no interested

[[Page 33498]]

person protests the change in control and DOE takes no action on its 
own motion, the change in control will be deemed granted 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. If one or more protests are 
submitted, DOE will review any motions to intervene, protests, and 
answers, and will issue a determination as to whether the proposed 
change in control has been demonstrated to render the underlying 
authorization inconsistent with the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Statement identifies two other proceedings, FE Docket 
Nos. 10-60-LNG and 12-06-LNG, in which DOE/FE authorized FLEX to 
export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to countries with which the 
United States currently has, or in the future will have, a free 
trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in 
natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or 
policy (FTA countries). Consistent with the Revised CIC Procedures, 
DOE gives immediate effect to these changes. See 79 FR 65542.
    \4\ 79 FR 65541 (Nov. 5, 2014).
    \5\ The final authorizations issued in the referenced non-FTA 
proceedings include Freeport LNG Expansion L.P., et al., DOE/FE 
Order No. 3282-C, FE Docket No. 10-161-LNG, Final Opinion and Order 
Granting Long-Term Multi-Contract Authorization to Export Liquefied 
Natural Gas by Vessel from the Freeport LNG Terminal on Quintana 
Island, Texas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations (Nov. 14, 2014); 
and Freeport LNG Expansion L.P., et al., DOE/FE Order No. 3357-B, FE 
Docket No. 11-161-LNG, Final Opinion and Order Granting Long-Term 
Multi-Contract Authorization to Export Liquefied Natural Gas by 
Vessel from the Freeport LNG Terminal on Quintana Island, Texas to 
Non-Free Trade Agreement Nations (Nov. 14, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Comment Procedures

    Interested persons will be provided 15 days from the date of 
publication of this Notice in the Federal Register in order to move to 
intervene, protest, and answer the Statement. Protests, motions to 
intervene, notices of intervention, and written comments are invited in 
response to this Notice only as to the proposed change in control 
described in the Statement.\6\ All protests, comments, motions to 
intervene, or notices of intervention must meet the requirements 
specified by DOE's regulations in 10 CFR part 590.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Intervention, if granted, would constitute intervention only 
in the change in control portion of these docket proceedings, as 
described herein.
