Golden Pass LNG Terminal LLC; Application for Limited Amendment to Long-Term Authorization to Export Liquefied Natural Gas to Non-Free Trade Agreement Countries

The Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice (Notice) of receipt of an Application for Limited Amendment (Application), filed on August 14, 2020, by Golden Pass LNG Terminal, LLC (Golden Pass LNG). Previously, in DOE/FE Order No. 3978, DOE/FE authorized Golden Pass LNG to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the proposed Golden Pass LNG Terminal to any country with which the United States does not have a free trade agreement (FTA) requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas, and with which trade is not prohibited by U.S. law or policy (non-FTA countries). The Application requests a limited amendment of Order No. 3978 to increase the approved non-FTA export volume from 808 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) to 937 Bcf/yr of natural gas--an increase of 129 Bcf/yr. Golden Pass LNG filed the Application under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA).
