DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[Docket No. EA–206–B] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Frontera Generation Limited 

Partnership and TECO EnergySource, 

Inc. for Transfer of Authorization

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

SUMMARY: Frontera Generation Limited 

Partnership (Frontera) and TECO 

EnergySource, Inc. (TES) have jointly 

applied to transfer TES’s authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico from TES to Frontera, 

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal 

Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests or requests 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before December 17, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests or 

requests to intervene should be 

addressed as follows: Office of Coal & 

Power Systems (FE–27), Office of Fossil 

Energy, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585–0350 (FAX 202–

287–5736).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Steven Mintz (Program Office) 202–586–

9506 or Michael Skinker (Program 

Attorney) 202–586–2793.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated and 

require authorization under section 

202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 

(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On July 12, 1999, the Office of Fossil 

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy 

(DOE) issued Presidential Permit PP–

206 authorizing Frontera to construct, 

operate, maintain, and connect a 

230,000-volt electric transmission line 

that extends from the Frontera 

powerplant in Mission, Texas, across 

the U.S. border with Mexico, and 

connecting to similar facilities owned 

by the Comision Federal de Electricidad 

(CFE), the national electric utility of 

Mexico. In a related proceeding, on July 

20, 1999, in Docket EA–206, FE 

authorized Frontera to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Mexico 

using the electric transmission facilities 

authorized in PP–206. 

On May 21, 2002, Frontera and TES 

jointly applied to DOE to have 

Frontera’s export authority transferred 

to TES. The transfer of authorization 

was granted by FE on August 6, 2002, 

in Docket No. EA–206–A. 

On October 1, 2004, Frontera and TES 

jointly applied to DOE to have TES’s 

export authority transferred back to 

Frontera. The applicants make this 

request in order to facilitate a planned 

restructuring of the applicants’ parent 

company, TECO Energy Inc., which is 

exiting the merchant energy business 

and thus is contemplating the sale or 

assignment of Frontera to an unaffiliated 

party. One of the terms of the sale or 

assignment would be that the authority 

to export electric energy from the 

Frontera powerplant reside with the 

project entity. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to this 

proceeding or to be heard by filing 

comments or protests to this application 

should file a petition to intervene, 

comment or protest at the address 

provided above in accordance with 

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the FERC’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedures (18

each petition and protest should be filed 

with the DOE on or before the dates 

listed above.

transfer the export authorization from 

TES to Frontera should be clearly 

marked with Docket EA–206–B.

Notice of Issuance of Order 

November 8, 2004. 

Anthracite Power and Light Company 

(APL) filed an application for marketbased rate authority, with an 

accompanying tariff. The proposed tariff 

provides for wholesale sales of energy 

and capacity at market-based rates. APL 

also requested waiver of various 

Commission regulations. In particular, 

APL requested that the Commission 

grant blanket approval under 18 CFR 

part 34 of all future issuances of 

securities and assumptions of liability 

by APL. 

On October 29, 2004, the Commission 

granted the request for blanket approval 

under part 34, subject to the following: 

[A]ny person desiring to be heard or 

to protest the blanket approval of 

issuances of securities or assumptions of 

liability by APL should file a motion to 

intervene or protest with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

Anthracite Power and Light Company,

109 FERC ¶ 61,106 (2004).

Notice is hereby given that the 

deadline for filing motions to intervene 

or protest, is November 29, 2004. 

Absent a request to be heard in 

opposition by the deadline above, APL 

is authorized to issue securities and 

assume obligations or liabilities as a 

guarantor, indorser, surety, or otherwise 

in respect of any security of another 

person; provided that such issuance or 

assumption is for some lawful object 

within the corporate purposes of APL, 

compatible with the public interest, and 

is reasonably necessary or appropriate 

for such purposes. 

The Commission reserves the right to 

require a further showing that neither 

public nor private interests will be 

adversely affected by continued 

approval of APL’s issuances of 

securities or assumptions of liability.
