FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Gomer, (240) 474–2403, electricity.exports@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority, previously exercised by the now-defunct Federal Power Commission, to DOE. Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export. (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On June 13, 2022, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) under Delegation Order No. S1– DEL–S3–2022–2 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2022. On April 16, 2013, DOE issued Order No. EA–336–A authorizing COP to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer. On May 31, 2018, DOE issued Order No. EA–336–B, renewing COP’s authority to transmit electric energy for an additional five-year term. On January 30, 2023, COP filed an application with DOE (Application or App) for renewal of their export authority for an additional five-year term. App. at 1. In its Application, COP states that it ‘‘does not own or operate electric a [sic] transmission or distribution system, and does not have a franchised service area’’ and is ‘‘engaged in, among other things, the marketing of electric power at wholesale in various markets throughout the United States.’’ Id. at 2. COP represents that ‘‘the electric power that COP will export, on either a firm or interruptible basis, will be purchased from others voluntarily and will therefore be surplus to the needs of the selling entities’’ and thus, ‘‘will not impair the sufficiency of the electric power supply within the United States.’’ Id. at 6. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App at Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at the address provided previously.

Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding should file a motion to intervene at the previous address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Comments and other filings concerning COP’s Application should be clearly marked with GDO Docket No. EA–336–C. Additional copies are to be provided directly to Mark R.
