[Docket No. AD06-4-000]


Resource Reports 11 and 13 Guidance; Notice of Technical 
Conference

April 13, 2006.
    On Tuesday, May 9, 2006, the staff of the Office of Energy Projects 
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) will 
convene a technical conference to discuss the engineering and safety 
information required in applications for liquefied natural gas (LNG) 
facilities. Filings that are complete expedite staff detailed review to 
ensure that all areas of the proposed design are safe and reliable. The 
technical conference will convene at 10 a.m. (EST) at the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in Conference Room 3M-02.
    On December 15, 2005, the Commission issued Draft Guidance for 
Filing Resource Reports 11 & 13 for LNG Facility Applications to assist 
applicants by identifying the specific information and level of detail 
required for filing these resource reports as specified by Title 18 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 380.12 (m) and (o). This 
document addresses recent initiatives, as well as several requests for 
specific guidance, including:
     The level of detail, including a requirement for a hazard 
design review, necessary for the front-end engineering design submitted 
to the FERC;
     Critical energy infrastructure information (CEII) 
classification;
     LNG spill containment sizing and design criteria for 
impoundments, sumps, sub-dikes, troughs or trenches;
     Design spills to be used in the calculation of thermal and 
flammable vapor exclusion zones;
     Waterway suitability assessments required by the U.S. 
Coast Guard's Navigation and Inspection Circular 05-05; and
     Compliance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
    The technical conference will allow the public and the engineering 
community the opportunity to provide comments on the required 
information for Resource Report 11: Reliability and Safety, and 
Resource Report 13: Engineering and Design Material for LNG facility 
applications. In addition, the conference will solicit comments on our 
Draft Preferred Submittal Format Guidance for better organizing the 
engineering information in Resource Report 13. This document is 
available on the Commission Web site at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp under Docket No. AD06-4 or by accessing the
