The report presents a factual description of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) system and facilities, and the Federal regulatory process that gowerns their developement and operations. Key portions of the LNG system that are vulnerable to technological or political problems are reviewed. The report identifies nine areas of concern to the Congress in its legistative, oversight, and funding activities. Short term concerns are: design and construction of LNG tankers, their regulation, inspection and operation; the regulation, inspection, and operation of LNG terminals; the Federaoe decisionmaking process in the certification of LNG import projects; and the status of current research on LNG and the need for further inquiry. Areas of longer range interest are the regulation, and criteria for the siting of LNG facilities; liability for LNG acciedents; reliability of foreign suppliers of LNG, and policies for pricing LNG.
