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 March 30, 2018, DOE received an
application from the Applicant 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. Viasyn intends
to apply for market-based rate authority
with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (FERC), however, it has
not made that application at this point
in time.
In its application, the Applicant 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 the Applicant 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. The existing
international transmission facilities to
be utilized by the Applicant 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

above address in accordance with FERC
Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five copies
of such comments, protests, or motions
to intervene should be sent to the
address provided above on or before the
date listed above.
