US House approves bill authorising small scale LNG exports

The provisions would be such that applications for the importation or exportation of not more than 0.17 billion ft³/day of natural gas, and which do not require an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment, shall be granted approval without modification or delay.

The bill’s provisions are similar to a final rule the US Department of Energy issued in late July 2018. The bill is now before the US Senate.
