(b) The percentage of first-time, fulltime degree-seeking undergraduate 

students at 4-year Alaska Native and 

Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, the 

Secretary also considers whether the 

grantee is operating in compliance with 

the assurances in its approved 

application, including those applicable 

to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit 

discrimination in programs or activities 

receiving Federal financial assistance

[GDO Docket No. EA–145–G] 

Application for Renewal of 

Authorization To Export Electric 

Energy; Powerex Corp 

AGENCY: Grid Deployment Office, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Powerex Corp. (the Applicant 

or Powerex) has applied for renewed 

authorization 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 March 28, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

by electronic mail to 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christina Gomer, (240) 474–2403, 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States Department of Energy 

(DOE) regulates electricity exports from 

the United States to foreign countries in 

accordance with section 202(e) of the 

Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 

CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) 

and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) 

transferred this regulatory authority, 

previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to 

DOE. 

Section 202(e) of the FPA provides 

that an entity which seeks to export 

electricity must obtain an order from 

DOE authorizing that export. (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the 

authority to issue such orders was 

delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment 

Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. 

S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation 

Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. 

On May 30, 1997, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–145 authorizing Powerex to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico as a power marketer. 

Such authority was renewed in 1999 

(Order No. EA–145–A), 2001 (Order No. 

EA–145–B), 2004 (Order No. EA–145– 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
14470 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2024 / Notices 

C), 2009 (Order No. EA–145–D), 2014 

(Order No. EA–145–E), and 2019 (Order 

No. EA–145–F). On January 25, 2024, 

Powerex filed an application with DOE 

(Application or App.) for renewal of 

their export authority for an additional 

five-year term. App. at 1. 

According to the Application, 

Powerex is a British Columbia 

corporation that is a wholly owned 

subsidiary of British Columbia Hydro 

and Power Authority (BC Hydro) a 

provincial Crown Corporation owned by 

the Government of British Columbia, 

Powerex is an instrumentality of a 

foreign state under the Foreign 

Sovereign Immunities Act. Id. at 2. 

Powerex is a power marketer authorized 

to sell wholesale electric energy, 

capacity, and ancillary services at 

market-based rates pursuant to authority 

granted by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) under a 

wholesale power sales tariff currently 

on file. Powerex states that it ‘‘does not 

own any electric generation or 

transmission facilities and, as a power 

marketer, does not hold a franchise or 

service territory or native load 

obligation.’’ Id. at 5. Further, Powerex 

represents that ‘‘none of [its] affiliates 

own electric transmission facilities that 

constitute part of the electricity delivery 

system in the U.S. and Powerex is not 

affiliated with an entity that holds a 

franchise or service territory in the 

contiguous U.S.’’ Id. The Applicant 

asserts that it ‘‘. . . has no transmission 

‘‘system’’ of its own on which its 

exports of power could have a reliability 

or stability impact.’’ Id. at 5–6. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

the Applicant have been previously 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. See App. at Exhibit C. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

Application at Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to this proceeding 

should file a motion to intervene at 

Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov in 

accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 

385.214).

environmental impacts have been 

evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after 

DOE evaluates whether the proposed

the sufficiency of supply or reliability of 

the United States electric power supply 

system.
