Natural Environmental Policy Act (DOE) is speeding approval of small-scale exports of natural gas, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), with the Natural Gas Act. The rule expedites the review and approval of applications from the growing small-scale LNG export market, and grants applications, provided the export does not exceed 51.75 billion cubic ft per year and is excluded from the DOE’s The US Department of Energy regulations. The rule aims to reduce the regulatory burden on US businesses and benefit trading partners and primarily expedites exports to the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
