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 September 4, 2003, DOE issued Order No. EA–284 authorizing Sempra Energy Solutions LLC (SES) to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer for a term of three-years. On March 12, 2007, DOE issued Order No. EA–284–A, which renewed that authority for an additional three-year term. That authority will expire on March 12, 2010. On September 30, 2009, DOE received an application from SES, as later amended on October 6, 2009, to renew its authority to export electric energy to Mexico for a five-year term. The electric energy which SES proposes to export to Mexico would be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing agencies and other entities. The energy SES purchases will be delivered to Mexico over transmission facilities owned by San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDG&E). The construction, operation, maintenance and connection of these facilities was previously authorized by a Presidential permit issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to become a party to these proceedings 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).
