The Project will include a new liquefaction facility that will produce up to 6.0 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG for export to global customers. Natural gas will be delivered to the liquefaction facility from the existing interstate pipeline system of High Point Gas Transmission (HPGT) and Tennessee Gas interstate pipeline (TGP) systems, both located close to the Project site. This preliminary draft Resource Report 1 describes LLNG’s proposed liquefaction facilities and ancillary facilities for which LLNG is seeking authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). LLNG will file applications with the FERC to construct the Facility (defined below) pursuant to Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. § 717b, and to construct the Pipelines (defined below) supplying the Facility under either Section 3 or Section 7(c) of the NGA, as appropriate. 15 U.S.C. §§ 717b and 717f(c). 1.1 Proposed Facilities The proposed Project consists of: 1. A liquefaction export facility (Facility) to be located along the east bank of the Mississippi River at mile marker 46, in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana; and 2. Construction of a 1.9-mile (approximate length), 36-inch diameter pipeline to deliver gas from the HPGT interstate pipeline system to the Facility and construction of a 3.5-mile (approximate length), 36-inch diameter pipeline to deliver gas from the TGP system to the Facility (collectively, the Pipelines). The Facility will receive natural gas for conversion to LNG and for loading on ships for export. This preliminary draft Resource Report 1 provides an overview of the Project, including the Facility’s purpose and need, location and detailed description, land requirements, construction execution plans and anticipated construction schedule, operations and maintenance philosophies, future plans and abandonment discussion, required permits, potentially affected landowners, public outreach and non-jurisdictional facilities.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.

    Regents Recap Highlights of the Activities and Official Actions of the Louisiana Board of Regents February 28, 2005 Louisiana College Student Leaders Attend Presidential Inauguration Louisiana was well represented at last month’s presidential inauguration in Washington. Among other distinguished Louisiana attendees who braved the cold to witness the historical event were twenty members of the Louisiana Council of Student Body Presidents (COSBP). The group took advantage of the opportunity to visit several members of Louisiana’s congressional delegation as well. COSBP is a statewide organization of Louisiana public college and university Student Government Association and Student Bar Association presidents aimed at helping ensure that Louisiana’s colleges and universities remain responsive to the needs of students and that student opportunity for academic and career success is optimized. “It was an honor to represent Louisiana and our respective institutions in Washington, and to see first-hand the president and vice president of the United States sworn into office,” said Kimberly Ludwig, Louisiana Tech SGA president and statewide COSBP chair. “We all felt very privileged and thankful to all the members of the Louisiana legislative delegation who made our trip possible.” Ludwig also serves as the student board member on the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. On the day before the inauguration, the group enjoyed visits with Louisiana’s two U.S. Senators, Mary Landrieu and David Vitter, and with Louisiana Congressmen Rodney Alexander, Richard Baker, Charles Boustany, Bobby Jindal, and Jim McCrery. “The trip was a great civics and history lesson,” said Katie Ortego, SGA President at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

In compliance with this statute, the attached Highway Program identifies the projects that are scheduled for construction letting in FY 2013-14. These are denoted as being in Stage 4. Projects being developed in the other stages are also included in the document. 3. There are many projects remaining to be let prior to the end of the current fiscal year, FY 2012-13.
