ACTION: Notice of amended application.
AGENCY:
Nogales Transmission, L.L.C.
(Nogales Transmission, or the
Applicant) has submitted two
amendments to its application for a
Presidential permit to construct,
operate, maintain, and connect an
electric transmission line across the
United States border with Mexico.
DATES: Comments or motions to
intervene must be submitted on or
before September 11, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments or motions to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
construction, operation, maintenance,
and connection of facilities at the
international border of the United States
for the transmission of electric energy
between the United States and a foreign
country requires a Presidential permit
issued pursuant to Executive Order
(E.O.) 10485, as amended by E.O. 12038.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
On April 8, 2016, Nogales
Transmission filed an application with
the Office of Electricity Delivery and
Energy Reliability of the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) for a
Presidential permit for the proposed
Nogales Interconnection Project (the
Project). Nogales Transmission has its
principal place of business in Dallas,
Texas. It is a subsidiary of Hunt Power,
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership,
which in turn is a subsidiary of Hunt
Consolidated, Inc.
On May 19, 2016, DOE published a
Notice of Application in the Federal
Register for the proposed Project. In the
initial application, the proposed Project
would originate at the existing UNS
Electric, Inc. (UNSE) Valencia
Substation in Nogales, Arizona. A new,
approximately 3-mile, overhead, 138-kV
alternating current (AC) transmission
line would be constructed from the
Valencia Substation west to the
proposed Gateway Substation. An
approximately two-mile, overhead, 230kV AC line would be constructed from
the proposed Gateway Substation to the
proposed international border crossing
at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A 300 MW bi-directional back-to-back
high-voltage direct current (HVDC)
converter (i.e., DC tie) would be located
at the proposed Gateway Substation,
which would allow for an asynchronous
connection between the U.S. and
Mexico. The DC tie would be
constructed in two phases, with each
phase capable of 150 megawatts (MW)
of bi-directional flow, for a total of up
to 300 MW. Minor modifications within
the existing Valencia Substation would
be made to accommodate the
connection of the proposed 138-kV
transmission line.
In the initial application, the U.S.
portion of the proposed Project would
cross the U.S.-Mexico border at
31°19′57.844″ N., 110°58′35.908″ W.,
which is just west of the Mariposa Port
of Entry. On January 9, 2017, Nogales
Transmission amended its application
to modify the proposed international
border crossing to a location
approximately 25 feet to the east at
31°19′57.846″ N., 110°58′35.620″ W. A
portion of the new, approximately twomile, overhead, 230-kV AC transmission
line extending south from the proposed
Gateway Substation to the proposed
international border crossing was also
proposed to be shifted approximately 25
feet to the east (the location of the
proposed right-of-way [ROW] was not
proposed to be changed).
On May 31, 2017, DOE received a
letter from Nogales Transmission
amending its initial Presidential permit
application a second time to reflect
