high school, especially students at risk 

for dropping out and students in high 

schools with low graduation rates. 

Information from the survey will fill 

critical information gaps about the use 

and prevalence of high school reform 

strategies to support at-risk youth. The

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[OE Docket No. EA–284–D] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Noble Americas Energy Solutions LLC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Noble Americas Energy 

Solutions LLC (Noble Solutions) has 

applied to renew its authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico pursuant to section 

202(e) of the Federal Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before October 30, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

to: Office of Electricity Delivery and 

Energy Reliability, Mail Code: OE–20, 

U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC 20585–0350. Because 

of delays in handling conventional mail, 

it is recommended that documents be 

transmitted by overnight mail, by 

electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586– 

8008. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On January 29, 2010, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–284–B to Sempra Energy 

Solutions, which authorized Sempra 

Energy Solutions to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Mexico 

as a power marketer for a five-year term 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. That authority 

expires on January 29, 2015. On 

December 7, 2011, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–284–C, which recognized a 

change of name from Sempra Energy 

Solutions to Noble Americas Energy 

Solutions LLC. All other terms and 

conditions of Order No. EA–284–B 

remain unchanged. On September 4, 

2014, Noble Solutions filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–284–C for an additional five-year 

term. 

In its application, Noble Solutions 

states that it does not own or operate 

any electric transmission facilities, and 

it does not have a franchised service 

area. The electric energy that Noble 

Solutions proposes to export to Mexico 

would be surplus energy purchased 

from third parties such as electric 

utilities and Federal power marketing 

agencies pursuant to voluntary 

agreements. The Applicant’s request is 

limited to the transmission of power to 

Baja California, Mexico utilizing the 

230-kV lines owned by San Diego Gas 

and Electric Company, which 

interconnects with the electrical system 

of Commission Federal de Electricidad, 

the Mexican electric utility.

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC)

application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not have an adverse impact on the 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system.
