in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a liquefied natural gas operator lacks enough financial responsibility, the Secretary can send a notice. The operator can request a hearing within 30 days to argue against an order. After the hearing, the Secretary can order a minimum amount if it serves the public interest.

(a) Notice. If the Secretary of Transportation believes an operator of a liquefied natural gas facility doesn't have enough financial responsibility for that facility, the Secretary may send the operator a notice. The notice explains what's inadequate and states the amount of financial responsibility the Secretary thinks is needed. (b) Hearings. An operator that gets this notice can ask for a hearing on the record within 30 days of receiving it. At that hearing, the operator can argue why the Secretary shouldn't order it to show and keep at least the amount of financial responsibility the Secretary named. (c) Orders. After giving the operator that chance for a hearing, the Secretary may issue the order anyway, if the Secretary decides doing so serves the public interest.
