C. Conclusion DOE has reviewed the evidence in the record, including Environmental Advocates’ protest, Delfin’s answer to the protest, and the comments supporting the extension. Based on this record, DOE finds that Delfin has demonstrated good cause for the requested commencement extension, which Environmental Advocates have failed to overcome. Accordingly, DOE grants the portion of the Request asking for the commencement extension. Delfin now has until June 1, 2031, to commence exports from the Project to non-FTA countries under Order No. 4028, as amended. Additionally, as discussed above, DOE finds that it is necessary and appropriate to amend Delfin’s authorizations to provide three additional years for Delfin to export the approved FTA and non-FTA volumes of LNG under Order Nos. 3393 and 4028, respectively (a combined total of 657.5 Bcf/yr of natural gas), beyond the export term for each authorization ending on December 31, 2050 (Make-Up Period). 144 During this Make-Up Period, which will extend through December 31, 2053, Delfin will be permitted to export any approved volume of LNG that it is unable to export during the original export term (the Make-Up Volume).145
