Initial Comments - LNG Export Study

DOE invites initial comments regarding the LNG Export Study that will help to inform
DOE in its public interest determinations of the authorizations sought in the 15 pending
applications listed in the Federal Register Notice. Comments must be limited to the
results and conclusions of these independent analyses on the factors evaluated.
These factors include the impact of LNG exports on: domestic energy consumption,
production, and prices, and particularly the macroeconomic factors identified in the
NERA analysis, including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), welfare analysis, consumption,
U.S. economic sector analysis, and U.S. LNG export feasibility analysis, and any other
factors included in the analyses. In addition, comments can be directed toward the
feasibility of various scenarios used in both analyses. While this invitation to comment
covers a broad range of issues, the Department may disregard comments that are not
germane to the present inquiry. Moreover, no final decisions will be issued in the
15 pending proceedings until DOE has received and evaluated all initial and reply
comments.

The record in the 15 pending proceedings will include all comments received in response
to the Federal Register Notice. All comments will be reviewed on a consolidated basis for
purposes of hearing, and decisions will be issued on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the procedures established by the Federal Register Notice, all comments must meet the applicable requirements of DOE’s regulations at 10 C.F.R. part 590. The more specific your comments,
the more useful they will be.

Comments may be submitted using one of the following methods: (1) e-mailing the filing to LNGStudy@hq.doe.gov; (2) mailing an original and three paper copies of the filing to the
Office of Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the address listed in the ADDRESSES section
in the Federal Register Notice; or (3) hand delivering an original and three paper copies of
the filing to the Office of Natural Gas Regulatory Activities at the address listed in ADDRESSES section in the Federal Register Notice.

All initial and reply comments submitted in response to the Federal Register Notice should reference the "2012 LNG Export Study" in the title line. Any comments greater than
5 pages, double-spaced, in length must be submitted in electronic format.

Initial comments were due no later than 4:30 p.m., EST on January 24, 2013. Comments
