Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act says that no person can import or export natural gas from a foreign country without first getting approval from the Commission. The Commission shares the Section 3 regulatory functions with the Department of Energy. The Commission has the authority to approve or disapprove the construction and operation of domestic facilities used for natural gas imports or exports. Additionally, the Commission has the authority to issue Presidential Permits for natural gas facilities which cross an international border of the United States. This application must include applicant contact-type and company information, a proposal summary, statements demonstrating that the proposal is in the public interest and that the services rendered will be in accordance with existing Commission regulations, and certain exhibits as described in 18 CFR 153 and in the supporting statement. For applicants proposing to construct, operate, maintain or connect facilities at the borders of the United States and Canada or Mexico for importing or exporting natural gas, a request for issuance of a Presidential Permit is also required. Once issued by the Commission, an acceptance of the Presidential Permit must be filed.
