Authorization; Arizona Public Service

ACTION: Notice of application.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Arizona Public Service
Company (APS) has applied to rescind
Presidential Permit No. PP–107 and
electricity export Order No. EA–107.
DATES: Comments, protests, or requests
to intervene must be submitted on or
before June 19, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or
requests to intervene should be
addressed as follows: Office Electricity
Delivery and Energy Reliability (Mail
Code OE–20), U.S. Department of
Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202–586–

Attorney) 202–586–2793.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
construction, operation, maintenance,
and connection of facilities at the
international border of the United States
for the transmission of electric energy
between the United States and a foreign
country is prohibited in the absence of
a Presidential permit issued pursuant to
Executive Order (EO) 10485, as
amended by EO 12038. In addition,
exports of electricity from the United
States to a foreign country are regulated
and require authorization under section
202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA)
(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On November 28, 1995, the
Department of Energy (DOE) issued
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:37 May 18, 2006
Jkt 208001
Presidential Permit No. PP–107 to APS
for the construction, operation,
maintenance, and connection of a 34.5kilovolt (kV) electric transmission
facility at the U.S.-Mexico border in the
vicinity of Douglas, Arizona. The line
originates at APS’s Fairview substation
in Douglas, Arizona, and extends south
approximately two miles to the U.S.Mexico border. On December 5, 1995,
DOE issued Order No. EA–107
authorizing APS to transmit electric
energy from the United States to Mexico
using the transmission facilities
authorized in Presidential Permit No.
PP–107.
On March 21, 2006, APS applied to
DOE to rescind Presidential Permit PP–
107 and the associated electricity export
authorization contained in Order No.
EA–107. At the time of the original
permit and export applications, APS
had anticipated that the PP–107
facilities would be used for the
exchange of emergency power between
APS and the Comision Federal de
Electricidad (CFE), the national electric
utility of Mexico. However, no sales
occurred during either 2004 or 2005,
and APS now asserts that the line could
be better utilized for domestic purposes.
APS proposes to accomplish this by
removing the span of conductor that
crosses the international border,
reducing the voltage from 34.5-kV to 12kV, and using the remaining U.S.
portion of the line to supply domestic
load in the Douglas area.
Procedural Matters: Any person
desiring to become a party to this
proceeding or to be heard by filing
comments or protests to this application
should file a petition to intervene,
comment or protest at the address
provided above in accordance with
§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules
of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR
385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each
petition and protest should be filed with
the DOE on or before the date listed
above. Additional copies are to be filed
directly with Antoine P. Cobb, Law
Department, Pinnacle West Capital
Corporation, 400 North Fifth Street, P.O.
Box 53999, Mail Station 8695, Phoenix,
AZ 85072–3999.
Before DOE takes action on APS’s
application to rescind its Presidential
permit and electricity export
authorization, DOE must determine that
the proposed action will not adversely
impact on the reliability of the U.S.
electric power supply system and must
consider the environmental impacts of
the proposed action pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the HEA and 34 CFR part 668, subpart
J, students who do not have a certificate of graduation from a school
providing secondary education or its recognized equivalent must
successfully complete an ATB test as approved by the Secretary, in
order to be eligible for Title IV, program assistance.
A student who does not have a high school diploma or its recognized

English, and who is enrolled in a program that is taught in the
student's native language must take an approved test developed in the
student's native language. To date, no non-English ATB tests have been
submitted to the Secretary for approval.
A student who does not have a high school diploma or its recognized
equivalent whose native language is not English and is not fluent in

must take an ATB test designed to measure the English language
competence of a non-native speaker. Students who are enrolled in such a
program that has an ``English as a Second Language'' (ESL) component
and who are enrolled in the ESL component, must take an approved ATB
test specifically for a student whose native language is not English
and who is not fluent in English. Students who are enrolled in an ESL
program only also must take an approved ATB test specifically for a
student whose native
[[Page 29136]]
language is not English and who is not fluent in English.
Both CELSA and the ESL Placement (COMPASS/ESL) tests as listed in

in English, who is enrolled in a program that is taught in English
without an ESL component, or the student does not enroll in the ESL

assesses secondary school verbal and quantitative skills.
The Secretary amends the list of approved ATB tests and passing
scores that was published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2005 (70

ATB test for Title IV eligibility purposes consistent with 34 CFR part
668, subpart J as of the date of this notice. The Secretary is also
extending the approval of the CELSA test and updating its passing
