FERC Issues Draft Guidance for LNG Terminal Applicants on Resource Reports 11 & 13
On December 15, FERC issued “Draft Guidance on Resource Reports 11 & 13 for LNG Facility Applications.” It contains detailed guidance intended to assist LNG terminal applicants in the pre-filing and application process. The document includes requirements for hazard design review, spill containment sizing and design criteria for impoundments, design spills to be used in calculating thermal and flammable vapor dispersion exclusion zones, and the Coast Guard WSA process. A technical conference will be held in the first quarter 2006 in order to solicit input from the public and engineering community.
