SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electricity from the United

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 February 22, 2007 the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order 
No. EA-318, which authorized CSW Power Marketing to transmit electric 
energy from the United States to Mexico for a five-year term using 
existing international transmission facilities. CSW Power Marketing 
changed its name to AEPEP. On June 27, 2007, DOE rescinded Order No. 
EA-318 and issued Order No. EA-318-A to AEPEP under the same terms and 
conditions as the previous authorization. That authority will expire on 
February 22, 2012. On December 19, 2011, AEPEP filed an application 
with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-
318-A for a ten-year term.
    The electric energy that AEPEP proposes to export to Mexico will be 
purchased on the wholesale market in addition to purchase agreements 
AEPEP has entered into with the coal-fired Oklaunion Unit No. 1 near 
Vernon, Texas and various wind farms in the state of Texas. The power 
and energy to be purchased by AEPEP will be surplus to the needs of the 
selling entities.
    The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized 
by AEPEP have previously been authorized by Presidential permits issued 
pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended. In addition to 
facilities determined by DOE to be appropriate for open access 
transmission by third parties, AEPEP was also authorized to export 
using small radial block-loaded facilities at Redford and Presidio, 
Texas.
    Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this 
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the application at the 
address provided above. Protests should be filed in accordance with 
Rule 211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Rules of 
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become

Suite 500, Columbus, OH 43215 AND Carolyn Y. Thompson, Jones Day, 51

Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) and 
after a determination is made by DOE that the proposed action will not 
have an adverse impact on the reliability of the U.S. electric power 
supply system.
