Six frontier AI models put this at 73% by 5 Jan 2027. Full reasoning from every model.

73% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-01-05.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 78% — FERC typically sticks to published 45-day draft EIS comment windows unless substantial local controversy forces a standard extension. FERC staff set procedural deadlines via Federal Register notice, and routine LNG stage reviews adhere closely to schedule. Comment period extensions occur roughly 20% of the time in contested NEPA energy dockets upon formal stakeholder petitions. A formal EPA or municipal request for extension before late October 2026 would immediately drop these odds.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 45% — Hinges on whether FERC keeps the exact Nov 9, 2026 date or grants an extension, which is common for major LNG EIS comment periods. FERC often extends comment periods for large LNG projects by 15-30 days when stakeholders request more time, especially for contentious Gulf Coast terminals. No specific evidence here confirms the Nov 9 date is final rather than a currently-scheduled deadline subject to change before closure. If no extension request is filed or FERC denies one, the original date holds; precedent splits roughly evenly between extended and honored deadlines for high-profile EIS…

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 86% — FERC usually adheres to noticed EIS comment deadlines unless a formal extension is warranted by substantial new information. FERC staff control the notice and docket schedule; only 33 days remain before the stated closing date. Extensions occur, but most draft EIS comment periods close as noticed after at least a 45-day window. A FERC extension notice, often prompted by agency or local-government requests, would be the clearest reason to revise downward.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 68% — Whether FERC grants any timely extension request on the already-noticed DEIS comment window. A 45-day DEIS window that lands on 9 Nov implies issuance around 25 Sep; FERC almost never shortens a noticed period. Environmental intervenors request extensions on ~half of large LNG dockets and FERC grants roughly 40 percent of those. No public request visible by 7 Oct leaves little time for a grant before the original close, so the scheduled date is the modal outcome.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 78% — Whether FERC keeps its own published comment deadline or grants the routine extension request. FERC's Notice of Schedule for Corpus Christi Stage 4 sets the comment deadline; only a formal extension order from the Commission changes it. Extensions in major LNG dockets are common when intervenors or municipalities ask, and Cheniere has no incentive to oppose a short delay. Base rate for FERC comment deadlines slipping in contested LNG reviews is roughly one in four; this docket's local opposition and coastal issues push it slightly above…

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 22% — FERC routinely extends comment periods on complex LNG EIS dockets when stakeholders request more time. FERC grants extensions on draft EIS comment periods in roughly 60-70% of complex LNG cases when industry or NGOs file motions. Corpus Christi Stage 4 is a large-scale LNG export project; intervenors almost always request 30-60 day extensions on draft EIS comments. A single well-supported motion for extension filed before Nov 9 would push the deadline past that date, which is the most likely outcome.
