Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (Calcasieu Pass) filed an application for a limited amendment to its existing LNG export authorizations (Amendment Application) with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) on December 3, 2021. The Amendment Application was submitted pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 10 CFR Part 590 of DOE's regulations.  Calcasieu Pass submitted a correction to the Amendment Application on December 10, 2021. 

In the Amendment Application, in relevant part, Calcasieu Pass seeks to increase the authorized LNG export volume in Order No. 4346 by 20.666 Bcf/yr of natural gas (approximately 0.057 Bcf/d). DOE's proposed action is to authorize the increased export volume described in the Amendment Application if DOE determines that such exports are not inconsistent with the public interest. If granted, the amendment authorization would permit the requested exports of domestically produced LNG by vessel from the Project, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the DOE order.
