More Comments Filed on DOE LNG Export Study
Comments in support of U.S. LNG exports were filed at the U.S. Department of Energy by NiSource Gas Transmission & Storage, the Virginia Oil and Gas Association, the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. Indian oil company ONGC Videsh Limited also submitted supportive comments, suggesting that there should be no distinction for the purposes of LNG exports between countries that have a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States and non-FTA countries, and adding that “considering U.S. desire to wean…countries like India away from certain countries sanctioned by [the United States] for energy requirements,” consideration should be given to permitting U.S. LNG exports to India on a preferential basis with no restrictions.
