SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Summary of Change in Control

    On July 10, 2018, Delfin LNG filed a Notice of Change in Control 
Through Indirect Equity Ownership Changes in the above-referenced 
docket.\1\ In the Notice, Delfin LNG states that it has recently 
undergone changes in its corporate structure and ownership. 
Specifically, Delfin LNG was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fairwood 
Peninsula Energy (Fairwood Peninsula). An intermediary holding company, 
Delfin Midstream, LLC (Delfin Midstream) was subsequently established, 
with Fairwood Peninsula owning 100% of Delfin Midstream and Delfin 
Midstream owning 100% of Delfin LNG. Thereafter, Delfin Midstream was 
converted from a limited liability company to a corporation. In June 
2018, equity shares in Delfin Midstream were sold to a variety of 
investors to raise additional capital. Effective June 12, 2018, 
Fairwood Peninsula's ownership of Delfin Midstream had been reduced 
from 100% to 30.7%. Two other entities (Talisman Global Alternative 
Master, L.P. and Talisman Global Capital Master, L.P.) also own or 
control 10% or more of the voting securities of Delfin Midstream. 
Delfin Midstream continues to own 100% of Delfin LNG.\2\

    Additional details can be found in Delfin LNG's Notice, posted on 
the DOE/FE website at: https://fossil.energy.gov/ng_regulation/sites/default/files/programs/Delfin_CIC_07_11_18.pdf.

DOE/FE Evaluation

    DOE/FE will review Delfin LNG's Notice in accordance with its 
Procedures for Changes in Control Affecting Applications and 
Authorizations to Import or Export Natural Gas (CIC Procedures).\3\ 
Consistent with the CIC Procedures, this Notice addresses only the 
authorization granted to Delfin LNG to export liquefied natural gas 
(LNG) to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries in DOE/FE Order 
No. 4028 (FE Docket No. 13-147-LNG).\4\ If no interested person 
protests the change in control and DOE takes no action on its own 
motion, the change in control will be deemed granted 30 days after 
publication in the Federal Register. If one or more protests are 
submitted, DOE will review any motions to intervene, protests, and 
answers, and will issue a determination as to whether the proposed 
changes in control have been demonstrated to render the underlying 
authorization inconsistent with the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 79 FR 65541 (Nov. 5, 2014).
    \4\ Delfin LNG's Notice also applies to its FTA authorization in 
FE Docket No. 13-129-LNG, but DOE/FE will respond to that portion of 
the Notice separately pursuant to its CIC Procedures, 79 FR 65542.
