FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202–586– 9624 or Michael Skinker (Program Attorney) 202–586–2793. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 August 25, 2004, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA– 294 authorizing TexMex to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico for a two-year term. That authorization expired on August 25, 2006. On September 8, 2006, TexMex filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA–294. TexMex proposes to export electric energy to Mexico and to arrange for the delivery of those exports over the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:16 Oct 13, 2006 Jkt 211001 international transmission facilities presently owned by Central Power and Light Company, Sharyland Utilities, and Comision Federal de Electricidad, the national electric utility of Mexico. In its application TexMex states, without further explanation, that it was unable to file its renewal application prior to the expiration of its current export authorization on August 25, 2006. TexMex requests that its renewal request be granted as soon as possible. DOE notes that TexMex did not utilize its previous authority to export electricity to Mexico during the twoyear term of Order No. EA–294, as verified by quarterly reports filed with DOE by TexMex and as stated in their current renewal application. TexMex’s previous authorization permitted an application for renewal to be filed within six months prior to expiration of its authorization on August 25, 2006. Renewal applications must be filed at least sixty days prior to expiration in order to provide DOE with sufficient time to process an application and provide adequate opportunity for public comment. TexMex has not demonstrated sufficient good cause for DOE to expedite the processing of its renewal application by the use of a shortened public comment period. Therefore, in this notice, DOE has retained the normal thirty-day public comment period for the filing of comments, protests, or petitions to intervene. DOE notes that TexMex shall have no authority to export electricity to Mexico until the conclusion of this proceeding and the issuance of another order granting authority to export. 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 FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214).
