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

On June 4, 2009, DOE received an 

application from HEPM for authority to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Mexico as a power marketer. 

HEMP proposes to deliver electric 

power to Mexico over any international 

transmission facility authorized by 

Presidential permit that is appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties. The electric energy which 

HEPM proposes to export to Mexico 

would be surplus to the needs of the 

selling entities. HEPM has requested an 

electricity export authorization with a 5- 

year term.
