FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matt Aronoff, 202–586–5863, matthew.aronoff@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 7172(f)). Such exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On November 3, 2021, TPS filed an application with DOE (Application or App.) ‘‘for renewal of its blanket SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8007 authorization to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico for a period of five years.’’ App. at 1. TPS states that it ‘‘is authorized to do business in the State of Nebraska and such other states as required by the current nature of its business,’’ adding that it ‘‘is a power marketer authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to make sales of electric power at wholesale in interstate commerce at market-based rates.’’ Id. TPS represents that it ‘‘does not own or control any transmission facilities and does not have a franchised service area.’’ Id. TPS further claims that it would ‘‘purchase the electricity that it may export, on either a firm or an interruptible basis, from wholesale generators, electric utilities, federal power marketing agencies and affiliates through negotiated agreements that have been voluntarily executed by the selling parties after considering their own need for any such electricity.’’ App. at 3. TPS contends that its ‘‘proposed electricity exports will not impair or tend to impede the sufficiency of electric power supplies in the United States or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or operations.’’ App. at 3–4. TPS applied to renew the authorization granted in DOE Order No. EA–431, which expired on January 26, 2022. Due to an unexpected delay in processing the renewal application, DOE has not yet evaluated whether the application satisfies the requirements of FPA section 202(e). TPS has requested expedited treatment of its application, to avoid any continued lapse in its export authority and to minimize the disruption to its electricity trade. TPS has also indicated that it has not engaged in the export of electricity since its authorization expired and will not do so unless and until it receives an Order granting renewal of its export authority in this proceeding. In response to TPS’s request for expedited treatment, DOE has shortened the public comment period to 15 days. 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 FERC Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, 
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy 
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 7172(f)). Such 
exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power 
Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
    On November 3, 2021, TPS filed an application with DOE (Application 
or App.) ``for renewal of its blanket authorization to transmit 
electric energy from the United States to Mexico for a period of five 
years.'' App. at 1. TPS states that it ``is authorized to do business 
in the State of Nebraska and such other states as required by the 
current nature of its business,'' adding that it ``is a power marketer 
authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to make 
sales of electric power at wholesale in interstate commerce at market-
based rates.'' Id. TPS represents that it ``does not own or control any 
transmission facilities and does not have a franchised service area.'' 
Id.
    TPS further claims that it would ``purchase the electricity that it 
may export, on either a firm or an interruptible basis, from wholesale 
generators, electric utilities, federal power marketing agencies and 
affiliates through negotiated agreements that have been voluntarily

electricity exports will not impair or tend to impede the sufficiency 
of electric power supplies in the United States or the regional 
coordination of electric utility planning or operations.'' App. at 3-4.
    TPS applied to renew the authorization granted in DOE Order No. EA-
431, which expired on January 26, 2022. Due to an unexpected delay in 
processing the renewal application, DOE has not yet evaluated whether 
the application satisfies the requirements of FPA section 202(e). TPS 
has requested expedited treatment of its application, to avoid any 
continued lapse in its export authority and to minimize the disruption 
to its electricity trade. TPS has also indicated that it has not 
engaged in the export of electricity since its authorization expired 
and will not do so unless and until it receives an Order granting 
renewal of its export authority in this proceeding. In response to 
TPS's request for expedited treatment, DOE has shortened the public 
comment period to 15 days.
    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 FERC Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211).

    A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after 
the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's 
National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 
1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an
