January 15, 2026Southern LNG Company, L.L.C. (SLNG) filed an application (Amendment Application) with the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) (now the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office) on July 31, 2025, pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 10 CFR Part 590 of the Department of Energy's (DOE) regulations. SLNG supplemented the Amendment Application on September 11, 2025.
SLNG seeks to amend its existing long-term authorization to export domestically produced liquefied natural gas (LNG) under DOE/FE Order No. 3956, as amended. SLNG asks DOE to further amend Order No. 3956 so that it also includes both ship-to-ship transfers of U.S.-sourced LNG for use as a marine fuel when the receiving ship is located within the territorial seas of a foreign country (including in foreign ports), as determined by that country and recognized by the United States; and transfers of LNG into approved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers, which are then loaded onto ocean-going vessels for export. DOE's proposed action is to grant the requested amendment to Order No. 3956, as previously amended.
