CX-270870: Delfin LNG LLC

Delfin LNG LLC (Delfin) filed a "Request for Amendment of Long-Term Authorizations to Export Liquefied Natural Gas and for Additional Extension of Time to Commence Exports"(Request) with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) (formerly the Office of Fossil Energy) on May 2, 2025, pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 10 CFR Part 590 of the Department of Energy's (DOE) regulations. 

In the Request, Delfin seeks to amend its existing long-term authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG), set forth in DOE/FE Order No. 4028, as amended. In the Request, Delfin asks DOE to amend its non-FTA authorization to extend its current deadline to commence exports set forth in Order No. 4028-D from June 1, 2029, to June 1, 2031. Additionally, to align the authorization with DOE's current practice, DOE is proposing to amend Order No. 4028, as amended, to allow three additional years for Delfin to export the approved volume of LNG beyond the export term ending on December 31, 2050. DOE's proposed action is to grant these amendments to Order No. 4028 if DOE determines that there is good cause to extend the export commencement deadline and that adding the Make-Up Period is necessary and appropriate.
