(collectively, Electron) acquired beneficial ownership of, or exercised control or direction over, 10% or more of all issued and outstanding common shares of Pieridae.

The affected proceeding is FE Docket No. 14-179-LNG. If no interested 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\ 79 FR 65541 (Nov. 5, 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 Pieridae US's Notice.
