The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of receipt of an application, filed on March 25, 2016 (Application), by Carib Energy (USA) LLC (Carib). Carib requests long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 1.3 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year (0.0036 Bcf per day) of natural gas.\1\ Carib Energy seeks to export the LNG by use of approved IMO7/ TVAC-ASME LNG (ISO) containers transported on ocean-going carriers to any country within Central America, South America, or the Caribbean that has, or in the future develops, the capacity to import LNG delivered by ocean-going container vessels carrying ISO containers,\2\ provided that trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy with that country, and provided further that the country has not entered into a free trade agreement with the United States requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas (non-FTA countries). Carib seeks to purchase the LNG for export from any of the existing natural gas liquefaction facilities listed in Appendix D of the Application (Facilities),\3\ which are owned and operated by Pivotal LNG, Inc. (Pivotal) or by one of Pivotal's affiliates.\4\ Carib states that delivery of LNG will be taken at the Facilities, and the LNG transported within the United States over highways using approved ISO containers. Carib intends to export the LNG from the ports of Jacksonville, Florida; Port Everglades, Florida; Gulfport, Mississippi; and any port in the southeastern United States capable of accommodating LNG exports by ISO containers transported on ocean-going container vessels. Carib seeks authorization to export this LNG for a 20-year period, commencing on the earlier of the date of first export or five years from the date the requested authorization is granted. The Application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).

[FE Docket No. 16-98-LNG]


Carib Energy (USA) LLC; Application for Long-Term, Multi-Contract 
Authorization To Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade 
Agreement Nations in Central America, South America, or the Caribbean

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, filed on March 25, 
2016 (Application), by Carib Energy (USA) LLC (Carib). Carib requests 
long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced 
liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume equivalent to approximately 1.3 
billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year (0.0036 Bcf per day) of natural 
gas.\1\ Carib Energy seeks to export the LNG by use of approved IMO7/
TVAC-ASME LNG (ISO) containers transported on ocean-going carriers to 
any country within Central America, South America, or the Caribbean 
that has, or in the future develops, the capacity to import LNG 
delivered by ocean-going container vessels carrying ISO containers,\2\ 
provided that trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy with that 
country, and provided further that the country has not entered into a 
free trade agreement with the United States requiring national 
treatment for trade in natural gas (non-FTA countries). Carib seeks to 
purchase the LNG for export from any of the existing natural gas 
liquefaction facilities listed in Appendix D of the Application 
(Facilities),\3\ which are owned and operated by Pivotal LNG, Inc. 
(Pivotal) or by one of Pivotal's affiliates.\4\ Carib states that 
delivery of LNG will be taken at the Facilities, and the LNG 
transported within the United States over highways using approved ISO 
containers. Carib intends to export the LNG from the ports of 
Jacksonville, Florida; Port Everglades, Florida; Gulfport, Mississippi; 
and any port in the southeastern United States capable of accommodating 
LNG exports by ISO containers transported on ocean-going container 
vessels. Carib seeks authorization to export this LNG for a 20-year 
period, commencing on the earlier of the date of first export or five 
years from the date the requested authorization is granted. The 
Application was filed under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA). 
Additional details can be found in Carib's Application, posted on the 
DOE/FE Web site at: http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2016/07/f33/CaribEnergy16_98_LNGapp.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Carib clarified this requested quantity in an email to DOE/
FE dated July 18, 2016.
    \2\ Carib clarified its proposed mode of transport in an email 
to DOE/FE dated August 9, 2016.
    \3\ The Facilities include the following: The Trussville LNG 
facility (Trussville, Alabama), the Chattanooga LNG facility 
(Chattanooga, Tennessee), the Riverdale LNG facility (Riverdale, 
Georgia), the Cherokee LNG facility (Ball Ground, Georgia), and the 
Macon LNG facility (Macon, Georgia). Specifically, Carib states that 
it ``will purchase'' LNG from the Trussville and Chattanooga LNG 
facilities, and that, in the future, Pivotal ``also would have the 
ability to source LNG'' for sale to Carib from the other three 
Facilities, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals. App. at 
4.
    \4\ In Appendix C to the Application, Carib provides a summary 
of the Master LNG Purchase and Sale Agreement between Carib and 
Pivotal, dated March 12, 2014. According to Carib, that Agreement 
provides Carib the right to purchase a firm or interruptible supply 
of LNG from the Facilities of up to 1.3 Bcf/d of natural gas for a 
term of 20 years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

DOE/FE Evaluation

    The Application will be reviewed pursuant to section 3(a) of the 
NGA, 15 U.S.C. 717b(a), and DOE will consider any issues required by 
law or policy. To the extent determined to be relevant, these issues 
will include the domestic need for the natural gas proposed to be 
exported, the adequacy of domestic natural gas supply, and U.S. energy 
security. DOE may also consider other factors bearing on the public 
interest, including the impact of the proposed exports on the U.S. 
economy, international considerations, and whether the authorization is 
consistent with DOE's policy of promoting competition in the 
marketplace by allowing commercial parties to freely negotiate their 
own trade arrangements. As part of this analysis, DOE will consider the 
following two studies examining the cumulative impacts of exporting 
domestically produced LNG:

issues in their comments and/or protests, as well as other issues 
deemed relevant to the Application.
    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 
seq., requires DOE to give appropriate consideration to the 
environmental effects of its proposed decisions. No final decision will 
be issued in this proceeding until DOE has met its environmental 
responsibilities.
