ACTION: Notice of application. AGENCY: NRG Power Marketing LLC (NRGPML or Applicant) has applied to renew its authority to transmit electric 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 May 12, 2017. 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 mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:45 Apr 11, 2017 Jkt 241001 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 June 12, 2012, DOE issued Order No. EA–384 to NRGPML, which authorized the Applicant to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer for a fiveyear term using existing international transmission facilities. That authority expires on June 12, 2017. On March 21, 2017, NRGPML filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA– 384 for an additional five-year term. In its application, NRGPML states that it does not own or operate any electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does not have a franchised service area. The electric energy that NRGPML proposes to export to Mexico would be purchased from third parties such as electric utilities and Federal power marketing agencies pursuant to voluntary agreements. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by NRGPML 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.

Energy.

ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document is being issued under the authority of section 
131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The Department is 
providing notice of a proposed subsequent arrangement under the 
Agreement for Cooperation Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy 
between the Government of the United States and the Government of 
Canada.

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than 
April 27, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns the 
alteration in form or content of 5 kg of U.S.-origin low enriched

percent enrichment) and which was exported to Canadian Nuclear 
Laboratories (CNL) among 100.095 kg of LEU containing 19.776 kg U-235. 
The LEU was exported for the LEU National Research Universal (NRU) 
Driver Fuel supply and will now be used for a Plate-Type Proof of 
Principle

Project, the purpose of which is to demonstrate that CNL can fabricate 
plate-type fuel products to industry specifications and successfully 
irradiate those products. The material is currently in the original 
elemental uranium chemical and physical state. The final chemical and 
physical form of nuclear material will be two different types of
