Port Arthur LNG Phase II, LLC (PALNG Phase II) filed an application (Application) with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) (then known as the Office of Fossil Energy) on February 28, 2020. The Application was submitted pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 10 CFR Part 590 of DOE's regulations. PALNG Phase II submitted an amendment to the Application on March 3, 2020. PALNG Phase II seeks long-term, multi-contract authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a volume up to 13.5 million metric tons per annum, which it states is equivalent to 698 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per year of natural gas (Bcf/yr) (1.91 Bcf per day). DOE's proposed action is to authorize the exports described in the Application if DOE determines that such exports are not inconsistent with the public interest.
