[OE Docket No. EA–247–D] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Constellation NewEnergy, 

Inc. (Applicant) 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 November 19, 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 December 21, 2009, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–247–C to the Applicant, 

which authorized Constellation 

NewEnergy, Inc. 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 December 21, 2014. On 

September 8, 2014, the Applicant filed 

an application with DOE for renewal of 

the export authority contained in Order 

No. EA–247–C for an additional ten-year 

term. 

In its application, the Applicant 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 the Applicant 

proposes to export to Mexico would be 

surplus energy either generated by the 

Applicant or purchased from third 

parties such as electric utilities and 

Federal power marketing agencies 

pursuant to voluntary agreements. The 

Applicant is also requesting expedited 

treatment of this renewal application 

and issuance of an Order within 60 days 

to avoid any lapse in Constellation 

NewEnergy, Inc.’s authority to export 

electricity to Mexico.

desiring to be heard in this proceeding

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in
