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 January 14, 1997, GES filed two

applications with the Office of Fossil

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy

(DOE) for authorization to export

electric energy to Mexico (Docket EA–

138) and Canada (Docket EA–139), as a

power marketer, pursuant to section

202(e) of the FPA. Specifically, GES has

proposed to transmit to Mexico and

Canada electric energy purchased from

electric utilities and federal power

marketing agencies.

GES would arrange for the exported

energy to be transmitted to Mexico over

one or more of the international

transmission or subtransmission lines

owned by San Diego Gas & Electric

Company, El Paso Electric Company,

Central Power and Light Company, and

Comision Federal de Electricidad. For

electricity exports to Canada, GES

would arrange for the exported energy

to be transmitted over facilities owned

by Basin Electric, Bonneville Power

Administration, Citizens Utilities,

Detroit Edison Company, Eastern Main

Electric Cooperative, Joint Owners of

the Highgate Project, Maine Electric

Power Company, Maine Public Service

Company, Minnesota Power and Light

Company, Minnkota Power, New York

Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk

Power Corporation, Northern States

Power and Vermont Electric

Transmission Company. Each of the

transmission facilities, as more fully

described in the application, has

previously been issued a Presidential

permit pursuant to Executive Order

10485, as amended.

As noted above, GES proposes to

export electricity to Mexico over lines

owned and operated by the El Paso

Electric Company (EPE) and permitted

under Presidential Permits Nos. PP–48,

as amended, and PP–92. On October 29,

1996, the Secretary of Energy signed

Delegation Order No. 0204–163 which

delegated and assigned to the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)

authority to carry out such functions

vested in the Secretary to regulate

access to, and the rates, terms and

conditions for, transmission services

over the facilities of EPE. This authority

was delegated to FERC for the sole

purpose of authorizing FERC to take any

actions necessary to effectuate open
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 19 / Wednesday, January 29, 1997 / Notices 4273

access transmission over the United

States portion of EPE’s electric

transmission lines connecting the

Diablo and Ascarate substations in the

United States with the Insurgentes and

Riverena substations in Mexico. Notice

and a copy of the Delegation Order were

published in the Federal Register on

November 1, 1996, at 61 FR 56525.

Application To Export Electric Energy;

Public Service Company of New

Mexico

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

SUMMARY: Public Service Company of

New Mexico (PNM), a regulated public

utility, has submitted an application to

export electric energy to Mexico

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal

Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests or requests

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 January 16, 1997, PNM filed an

application with the Office of Fossil

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy

(DOE) for authorization to export

electric energy to Comision Federal de

Electricidad (CFE), the Mexican national

electric utility, or other power

customers in Mexico, for a term of five

years, pursuant to section 202(e) of the

FPA. Specifically, PNM has proposed to

engage in open-ended transactions to

transmit and exchange wholesale

electric energy under terms and

contracts to be negotiated in the future.

PNM asserts that a series of State

regulatory actions have left the utility

with 170 megawatts (MW) of excess

generating capacity that could be

dedicated for the sale in the wholesale

market. PNM further asserts that it will

schedule all power consistent with the

reliability criteria, standards, and guides

of the North American Electric

Reliability Council and the Western

Systems Coordinating Council.

The electric energy PNM proposes to

sell to CFE would be delivered to

Mexico using San Diego Gas & Electric

Company’s two 230-kilovolt

transmission facilities at Miguel and

Imperial Valley, California. The

construction and operation of these

international transmission lines was

previously authorized by Presidential

Permit numbers PP–68 and PP–79,

respectively.

Procedural Matters

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
