DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[OE Docket No. EA–459] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Mercuria Energy America, Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Mercuria Energy America, 

Inc. (MEAI or Applicant) has applied for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Mexico 

pursuant to the Federal Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before September 28, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

to: Office of Electricity, 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 

United States 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) and 

7172(f)) and require authorization under 

section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act 

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

On July 30, 2018, DOE received an 

application from MEAI for authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico as a power marketer for 

a five-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

MEAI is also registered as a Purchasing 

and Selling Entity, as defined by the 

North American Electric Reliability 

Corporation (NERC). 

In its application, MEAI states that it 

‘‘does not currently own or control 

electric generation or transmission 

facilities of its own in the United States 

over which the export of wholesale 

electricity could have a reliability, fuel 

use, or system stability impact,’’ and 

that it does not have a franchised 

service area. The electric energy that 

MEAI proposes to export to Mexico 

would be surplus energy purchased 

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’s) Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (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 (5) copies of such 

comments, protests, or motions to 

intervene should be sent to the address 

provided above on or before the date 

listed above. 

Comments and other filings 

concerning MEAI’s application to export 

electric energy to Mexico should be 

clearly marked with OE Docket No. EA– 

459. An additional copy is to be 

provided to both Chloe Cromarty and 

Mark Greenberg, 20 E. Greenway Plaza, 

Suite 650, Houston, TX 77046. 

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. 

Copies of this application will be 

made available, upon request, for public 

inspection and copying at the address 

provided above, by accessing the 

program website at http://energy.gov/ 

node/11845, or by emailing Angela Troy
