DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Office of Fossil Energy; Order Vacating Authorizations
AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy (FE), Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of vacating orders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DOE is vacating unused natural gas import and export
authorizations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larine Moore, Allyson C. Reilly,
Office of Natural Gas Regulatory Activities, Office of Oil and Gas
Global Security and Supply, P.O. Box 44375, Washington, DC 20026-4375.
(202) 586-9478. (202) 586-9394.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE's FE is delegated the authority to
regulate natural gas import and export under section 3 of the Natural
Gas Act of 1938, 15 U.S.C. 717b. Persons seeking to import or export
natural gas are required to file with FE an application containing
basic information about the scope and nature of a proposed import or
export. Most applications are approved automatically and the orders
granting approval require those authorized to report import and export
activity on a periodic basis. The data collected is used to monitor the
North American natural gas trade and facilitate market analysis.
Over the years many two-year, blanket authorizations have been
issued with no start date and terms to be triggered by reporting
activity. There has been no reported activity for some of these
outstanding authorizations, and more often than not FE attempts to
contact authorization holders have been unsuccessful. FE is vacating
these authorizations in order to remove unused authorizations from the
FE database and improve information collection and trade monitoring.
Order
In accordance with DOE policy and pursuant to section 3 of the
Natural Gas Act, it is ordered that the authorizations listed in the
attached Appendix are vacated effective the date of the issuance of
this notice.
Issued in Washington, DC, August 5, 2005.
R.F. Corbin,
Manager, Natural Gas Regulatory Activities, Office of Oil and Gas
Global Security and Supply, Office of Fossil Energy.
