Energy Dept Eases Up on Gas Export Start Deadlines
Published Date: 4/2/2025
Rule
Summary
The Department of Energy is ditching its April 2023 rule that set strict deadlines for starting natural gas exports to countries without free trade deals. Now, companies can ask for more time to begin exports if they have a good reason, and DOE will decide on a case-by-case basis. This change gives exporters more flexibility without rushing, helping them avoid losing their export rights or money.

Flexibility for Natural Gas Export Deadlines
The Department of Energy is rescinding its April 26, 2023 Policy Statement that imposed strict deadlines to begin natural gas exports to non‑free trade agreement countries. Henceforth, authorization holders can ask DOE for more time to start exports, and DOE will consider and may grant extensions for "good cause" on a case‑by‑case basis. This gives exporters more flexibility and can help them avoid losing export authorizations or money.
