[FR Doc. 2017–16897 Filed 8–9–17; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 5001–06–P DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [OE Docket No. PP–420] Amended Application for Presidential Permit; Nogales Interconnection Project Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE. 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 intervene should be addressed as follows: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE–20), U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) at 202–586–5260 or via electronic mail at Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov; Rishi Garg (Program Attorney) at 202– 586–0258. 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 E:\FR\FM\10AUN1.SGM 10AUN1
