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: Beverly Howard, Larine A. Moore, 
Office of Natural Gas Regulatory Activities, Office of Oil and Gas 
Global Security and Supply, P.O. Box 44375, Washington, DC 20026-4375. 
(202) 586-9387. (202) 586-9478.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the 
Department of Energy 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. Although required by the authorization, many of these license 
holders have not submitted activity reports. In addition, FE attempts 
to contact non-compliant 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.
