Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared an EA for a proposal to expand the Sabine Pass Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal and extend an associated pipeline system in Cameron, Calcasieu, Beauregard, Allen, and Evangeline Parishes. DOE, a cooperating agency, adopted FERC’s EA and issued a FONSI. DOE, Office of Fossil Energy, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest. The DOE EA and FONSI address three applications for export authority; additional information is provided at the respective Fossil Energy dockets:
