DOE/EIS-0512: EPA Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement

Alaska LNG Project; Alaska

EPA announced the availability of a final EIS prepared by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that assesses the potential environmental impacts of a proposal to develop, construct, and operate facilities that would commercialize the natural gas resources on Alaska’s North Slope.

DOE was a cooperating agency in preparing the DOE/EIS-0512. DOE, Office of Fossil Energy, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest. (DOE's participation as a cooperating agency and assignment of a document number are not a commitment that DOE will adopt or supplement the EIS.)
