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 February 19, 2009, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–145–D, which authorized 

Powerex 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 

February 19, 2014. On August 29, 2013, 

Powerex filed an application with DOE 

for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–145–D for 

an additional five-year term. 

In its application, Powerex states that 

it does not own any electric generating 

or transmission facilities, and it does 

not have a franchised service area. The 

electric energy that Powerex proposes to 

export to Mexico would be surplus 

energy purchased from electric utilities, 

Federal power marketing agencies, and 

other entities within the United States 

and/or Canada. The existing 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by Powerex 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. 

Comments on the Powerex 

application to export electric energy to 

Mexico should be clearly marked with 

OE Docket No. EA–145–E. An

Street NW., Suite 500, Washington, DC 

20006. 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–9902–05–OP] 

Notice of Availability for Public Review 

and Comment: Draft EPA Climate 

Change Adaptation Implementation 

Plans 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Scientific evidence 

demonstrates that the climate is 

changing at an increasingly rapid rate, 

outside the range to which society has 

adapted in the past. Climate change can 

pose significant challenges to the EPA’s 

ability to fulfill its mission. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency is 

committed to identifying and 

responding to the challenges that a 

changing climate poses to human health 

and the environment. It is essential 

therefore, that the EPA adapt to climate 

change in order to continue fulfilling its 

statutory, regulatory and programmatic 

requirements, chief among these 

protection of human health and the 

environment. Adaptation will involve 

anticipating and planning for changes in 

climate and incorporating 

considerations of climate change into 

many of the Agency’s programs, 

policies, rules and operations to ensure 

they are effective under changing 

climatic conditions. Adaptation also 

necessitates close coordination between 

EPA and its many partners and 

stakeholders. 

In February 2013, EPA published its 

draft Agency Climate Change 

Adaptation Plan (draft Plan) in response 

to the President’s October 2009 

Executive Order (E.O. 13514—‘‘Federal 

Leadership in Environmental, Energy, 

and Economic Performance’’) and the 

March 2011 ‘‘Implementing Instructions 

to all Federal Department and 

Agencies.’’ The Plan is being finalized 

based upon comments received during a 

60-day public review and comment 

period earlier in 2013. EPA’s Program 

and Regional Offices have produced 

draft Climate Change Adaptation 

Implementation Plans 

(‘‘Implementation Plans’’) that provide 

more detail on how they will carry out 

the work called for in the Agency-wide 

Plan. 

Today, EPA announces the 

availability of public review drafts of its 

draft Implementation Plans; one for 

each of its ten Regions and seven 

National Programs. The draft 

Implementation Plans will be available 

for a 60-day public review and comment 

period. 

The public review drafts of EPA’s 

draft Implementation Plans have been 

posted to a public docket and they are 

available on the Agency Web site at this 

URL address: http://epa.gov/

climatechange/impacts-adaptation/fedprograms/EPA-impl-plans.html. The 

Docket for public comment can be 

found on the Federal Government 

Regulations Web site (http://

www.regulations.gov/# !home). It is 

Docket Number EPA–HQ–OA–2013– 

0568. 

DATES: The public should respond to the 

EPA with comment via the public 

docket no later than January 3, 2014. 

Only comments received by the 

deadline will be considered by the 

Agency in finalizing its plan. 

ADDRESSES: If you have questions about 

responding to this notice, please contact 

Gerald Filbin by phone (202–566–2182), 

or by mail (1200 Pennsylvania Ave. 

NW., Washington, DC 20460). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is 

working to fulfill its mission to protect 

human health and the environment. As 

EPA articulated in its draft Agency 

Climate Change Adaptation Plan, many 

of the goals EPA is working to attain 

(e.g., clean air, safe drinking water) are 

sensitive to changes in weather and 

climate. Until now, EPA has been able 

to assume that climate is relatively 

stable and future climate would mirror 

past climate. However, with climate 

changing at an increasingly rapid rate 

and outside the range to which society 

has adapted in the past, climate change 

is posing new challenges to EPA’s 

ability to fulfill its mission. The 

Agency’s draft Implementation Plans 

provide a road map for the Agency to
