Amending the Administrative Procedures With Respect to the Import and Export of Natural Gas

Document 2025-08554 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Energy in the Federal Register on May 16, 2025, with an effective date of July 15, 2025. This DFR amends the regulations for the administrative procedures with respect to the import and export of natural gas to update and streamline the general requirements for filing documents with the Office of Fossil Energy (FE). Specifically, this change is made to remove references to offices that no longer exist, allow for the submission of documents online, allow for electronic service, update filing fee instructions, and remove the unnecessary and burdensome requirement that applicants submit multiple copies of applications, filings, and submittals.
