- Abstract
- This report describes data needed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the seismic review of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities and is intended to expedite the certification process of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. It uses a format familiar to those industry representatives and their consultants who work on siting other safety-related structures. Available state and Federal regulations were reviewed for format and type of information required to develop a source document which can be used to establish a consistent format and content for applications in their submittal of the necessary geological-structural-seismic information required to analyze sites for LNG facilities. Design criteria and levels of safety to be used in analyzing sites were not considered.
