The Office of Fossil Energy gives notice of receipt of an Application filed February 9, 2015, by Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (Venture Global), seeking a long-term multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) up to the equivalent of 132.8 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year to Free Trade Agreement (FTA) countries, and to Non-Free Trade Agreement (NFTA) countries.  Authorization is for a 25-year period commencing on the earlier of the date of first export or seven years from the date the authorization is issued. Venture Global proposes to export LNG from its proposed LNG terminal site to be located on the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, and related facilities, to any country that has, or in the future will have, the capacity to import LNG via ocean-going carrier, with which the United States has, or in the future enters into, an FTA requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and/or NFTA countries, with which trade is not prohibited by United States law or policy.  A federal register notice will be issued for the NFTA portion of this application.

DOE will consider one or more of the following studies examining the cumulative impacts of exporting domestically produced LNG:

Additionally, DOE will consider the following environmental documents:
