**Application To Export Electric Energy; ConocoPhillips Company** 

**AGENCY :**  Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Application.

**SUMMARY :**  ConocoPhillips Company (CoP) 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 March 21, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Comments, protests, or motions to intervene should be addressed to: Lamont Jackson, 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 Lamont.Jackson@hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586–8008.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Lamont Jackson (Program Office) at 202–586–0808, or by email to Lamont.Jackson@hq.doe.gov.

**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 April 17, 2008, DOE issued Order No. EA–336, which authorized CoP 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 April 17, 2013. On November 29, 2012, CoP filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA–336 for an additional five-year
term.

In its application, CoP states that neither it nor any of its affiliates currently own or control electric generating or transmission facilities except for those facilities necessary to connect generation facilities to the transmission grid. CoP states that all of the electric energy that CoP proposes to export to Mexico will be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by CoP 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.

Procedural Matters: Any person 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) Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become a party to these proceedings should file a motion to intervene at the above address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five copies of such comments, protests, or motions to intervene should be sent to the address provided above on or before the date listed above.

McFaden and Charles F. Eisenhardt, ConocoPhillips Company, 600 North Dairy Ashford, Houston, TX 77079. A final decision will be made on this 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.
