authorization under section 202(e) of
the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
§ 824a(e)).
On January 14, 2015, DOE received an
application from Del Norte for authority
to transmit electric energy from the
United States to Mexico as a power
marketer for a five-year term using
existing international transmission
facilities. The Applicant is also
requesting an expedited review of the
Application and for DOE to issue the
requested authorization no later than
and effective February 28, 2015.
In its application, Del Norte states that
it does not own or control any electric
generation or transmission facilities,
and it does not have a franchised service
area. The electric energy that Del Norte
proposes to export to Mexico would be
surplus energy purchased from third
parties such as electric utilities and
Federal power marketing agencies
pursuant to voluntary agreements.

should file a comment or protest to the
application at the address provided
above. Protests should be filed in

made by DOE that the proposed action
will not have an adverse impact on the
sufficiency of supply or reliability of the
U.S. electric power supply system.
