The Office of Fossil Energy of the Department of Energy (DOE) has given notice of the availability of two studies (Federal Register Notice) examining the cumulative impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports and invites the submission of comments regarding those studies. DOE commissioned the studies to inform DOE’s decisions on applications seeking authorization to export LNG from the lower-48 states to non-free trade agreement countries. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) performed one of the studies, which was released in October 2014 (2014 EIA LNG Export Study ). The second study was performed by external entities under contract to DOE (2015 LNG Export Study).
