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

On September 16, 2010, DOE received 

an application from Rainbow for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Mexico for 

five years as a power marketer using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. Rainbow does not own any 

electric transmission facilities nor does 

it hold a franchised service area. 

The electric energy that Rainbow 

proposes to export to Mexico would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Rainbow have previously been 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties.
