MONTHLY REPORT OF NATURAL GAS IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
FORM FE-746R
INSTRUCTIONS
PURPOSE
The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) Form FE-746R, “Monthly Report of Natural Gas Imports and Exports”, is designed to collect data on natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and compressed natural gas (CNG) that is imported and exported to and from the U.S. on a monthly basis. The data is used to monitor North American natural gas trade, which in turn enables the federal government to perform market and regulatory analyses, and enables FECM to ensure that importers and exporters are in compliance with the terms and conditions of their authorizations. The data appear in FECM publications on natural gas imports and exports, as well as natural gas statistics published by the Energy Information Administration.
WHO MUST REPORT
FECM is delegated the authority to regulate natural gas and LNG imports and exports under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717b). In order to carry out its delegated responsibility, FECM requires those persons authorized to import and export natural gas and LNG to file monthly Form FE-746R reports containing basic information about the scope and nature of the import or export activity.
Long-term import and export authorization holders and short-term authorization holders, that have authority to export natural gas to countries that the United States does not have a free trade agreement, must report additional information as stated in DOE’s import and export authorizations. This information includes: longterm contracts associated with the supply and sales of natural gas, compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and associated products; changes in control of authorization holders registrations of agents who import and export natural gas; and for long-term LNG export authorization holders, semi-annual reports detailing information on the status of the proposed or operating LNG export facilities, the date the proposed LNG facilities are expected to commence first exports of LNG, and the status of any related long-term supply and sale/purchase agreements.
WHEN TO REPORT
Form FE-746R must be filed with FECM on or before the 30th calendar day after the end of the report month. When the 30th day falls on a weekend or national holiday, the reports must be filed by the next business day.
HOW TO REPORT
Authorization holders may file monthly reports using the Import/Export Authorization Portal for Natural Gas (the Portal) at: https://fossil.energy.gov/fergas-fe/main.html. FECM has assembled FAQs about the Portal.
Authorization holders may also file monthly reports by U.S. Mail, fax, or e-mail, using the information below:

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
There are thirty (30) different reporting formats, corresponding to different import and export activities. Choose the relevant format(s) that corresponds to the activity being reported. If you are reporting more than one kind of activity (e.g. both importing and exporting), please use different formats for each different activity.
The thirty formats are contained in three groups, according to whether import/export activity is in gaseous (transportation by pipeline), liquid (transportation by vessel, truck, rail, or other waterborne transport) or compressed gaseous transportation (vessel, truck, rail, or other waterborne transport) form. There is a separate form for import/export activity in specialized International Standards Organization (ISO) containers (by vessel), which may contain liquid or compressed gas.
All volumes should be reported in thousand cubic feet (Mcf) at 60 degrees F at 14.696 psia.
Information should be reported as known as the time of the report due date. In the case where any information is not known at the time of the report due date, estimates can be provided and then later revised once final data become available. Estimated data items should be noted in the report submission. In the case of reported prices or volumes, resubmissions of reports are not required unless actual or corrected data vary more than plus (+) or minus (-) 4% from the data previously reported.
Reports must be filed even if there was no Import/Export activity. In this case, a simple report indicating “No Activity” will suffice. All reports, even those with no activity, should still include: company name; contact name, address, phone, fax, and e-mail; docket and order numbers; and the reporting month. Also include this information on e-mailed reports.
Please contact the Import/Export Compliance Team ([email protected]) with comments or questions, or for assistance with your monthly report, if needed.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR TYPES OF IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
Natural Gas Imports (Pipeline)
