energy from the United States to Mexico
pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal
Power Act.
DATES: Comments, protests, or motions
to intervene must be submitted on or
before June 5, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests,
motions to intervene, or requests for
more information should be addressed
to: Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability, Mail Code: OE–20,
U.S. Department of Energy, 1000
Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20585–0350. Because
of delays in handling conventional mail,
it is recommended that documents be
transmitted by overnight mail, by
electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@
hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586–
8008.
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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
824a(e)).
On August 31, 2009, DOE issued
Order No. EA–357, which authorized
HEPM to transmit electric energy from
the United States to Mexico as a power
marketer for a five-year term using
existing international transmission
facilities. That authority expires on
August 31, 2014. On April 14, 2014,
HEPM filed an application with DOE for
renewal of the export authority
contained in Order No. EA–357 for an
additional five-year term.
In its application, HEPM states that it
does not own any electric generating or
transmission facilities, and it does not
have a franchised service area. The
electric energy that HEPM proposes to
export to Mexico would be surplus
energy purchased from electric utilities,
Federal power marketing agencies, and
other entities within the United States.
The existing international transmission
facilities to be utilized by HEPM have
previously been authorized by
Presidential permits issued pursuant to
Executive Order 10485, as amended,
and are appropriate for open access
transmission by third parties.
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 a party to these proceedings
