pursuant to section 3a of the NGA, 15
U.S.C. 717ba. Southern LNG states that its existing blanket export authorization, set forth in DOE/FE Order No. 4206, is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2021.
Southern LNG requests that the authorization commence on the earlier of either the date when all Movable Modular Liquefaction System units associated with the Elba Liquefaction Project have been placed in service or April 1, 2021. Southern LNG is not seeking authorization to export any domestically produced natural gas or LNG.
Southern LNG requests this authorization on its own behalf and as agent for other parties who hold title to the LNG at the time of export.
