FERC Maximum LNG Deliverability Growth

December 2002 FERC Policy Change A Open Access At Delivery of Liquid to Terminal LNG Suppliers LNG Buyers A B B Open Access At Delivery of Vapor into Interstate Pipeline System Liquid to Vapor Flow FERC

LNG Terminal Siting Issues Safety Take Away Capacity Local acceptance Federal and State approvals

FERC Safety Proximity to residential and commercial areas raises public safety concerns. –Exclusion zones DOT/OPS enforces security. FERC performs pre- and post-certificate reviews of LNG terminals. –Biennial reviews continue for life of terminal. Coast Guard enforces offshore ship safety.

FERC Takeaway Capacity Is there an existing pipeline with takeaway capacity? Does the project require new pipeline construction? NEPA requires an analysis of the cumulative effects. –Can not have an LNG terminal without takeaway capacity.

FERC Federal and State Approvals Must get approvals: –FERC – NGA Approval –DOT/OPS – Exclusion Zones –Coast Guard – Vessel Operating Plan –Corps of Engineers – Dredging, Wetland Filling, Alternative Sites –NMFS, FWS – Endangered Species Act –Coastal Zone Consistency Determination –State Agency Requirements

FERC Traditional vs. NEPA Pre-Filing Process Announce Open Season Announce Open Season Develop Study Corridor Develop Study Corridor Conduct Scoping Conduct Scoping Review Draft Resource Reports & Prepare DEIS Issue Draft EIS Issue Draft EIS File At FERC Issue Order Issue Order File At FERC Prepare Resource Reports Prepare Resource Reports Issue Final EIS Issue Final EIS (months) Traditional - Applicant Traditional - FERC NEPA Pre-Filing - Applicant NEPA Pre-Filing - FERC

FERC Making the NEPA Pre-Filing Process Work Projects Can Be Expedited Only If –The company follows the NEPA Pre-Filing guidelines; –Public involvement is made an integral part of the project planning process; –The company works in partnership with the agencies; and –The project is READY to move forward.

FERC NEPA Pre-Filing Lessons Learned Management support needed for project teams’ work with stakeholders. Participating agencies early involvement is needed. Stakeholder involvement needs to be planned.

FERC Benefits of NEPA Pre-Filing More interactive NEPA process, no shortcuts Earlier, more direct involvement by FERC, other agencies, landowners Goal of “no surprises” Time savings realized only if we are working together with stakeholders FERC staff is an advocate of the Process, not the Project!

FERC Companies Need a Plan for Public Participation A Plan is required for NEPA Pre-filing, strongly encouraged otherwise Must be an intentional component It won’t happen by accident
