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 April 26, 2010, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–363 to the Applicant, which 

authorized NAG&P 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 26, 2015. On February 

18, 2015, the Applicant filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–363 for an additional five-year term. 

In its application, the Applicant states 

that it does not own or operate any 

electric generation or 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 from third parties such as 

electric utilities and Federal power 

marketing agencies pursuant to 

voluntary agreements. The existing 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by the Applicant 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)

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.
