Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 78348 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Notices government which administered the election shall (through the state, in the case of a unit of local government) submit a report to the EAC on the combined number of absentee ballots transmitted to absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters for the election and the combined number of such ballots which were returned by such voters and cast in the election, and shall make such a report available to the general public.’’ States that complete and timely submit the UOCAVA section of the survey to the EAC will fulfill their UOCAVA reporting requirement under 52 U.S.C. 20302. In order to fulfill the above requirements, the EAC is seeking information relating to the period from the Federal general election day 2022 +1 through the November 2024 Federal general election. The EAC will provide the data regarding UOCAVA voting to FVAP after data collection is completed. This data sharing reduces burden on local election offices because FVAP does not have to conduct its own data collection to meet its reporting requirements.

Please note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are public record. Before including any detailed personal information, you should be aware that your submitted comments, including your personal information, will be available for public review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Gomer, (240) 474–2403, Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States 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 nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to DOE. Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export. (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by Delegation Order No. S1–DEL–S3–2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2023. On December 6, 2018, DOE issued Order No. EA–462, authorizing Guzman Energy to transmit electricity from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer for a five-year term. On October 3, 2023, Guzman Energy filed an application with DOE (Application SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 or App.) for renewal of their export authority for an additional five-year term. App. at 1. In its Application, Guzman Energy states that it ‘‘provides, through various subsidiaries and affiliates, a wide spectrum of wholesale electric and energy-related products and services to a diverse range of customers.’’ App. at 2. The Applicant further clarifies that it ‘‘is not a franchised public utility with a transmission or distribution system and does not have captive customers.’’ Id. The Applicant asserts that it ‘‘does not have its own system on which its exports of energy could have an impact with respect to electric supply. As such, Applicant’s proposed exports would not impair the sufficiency of the electric supply on ‘its system,’ as Applicant does not own or operate an integrated transmission or distribution system.’’ Id. at 5. 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 id. at Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov. Protests should be filed in accordance with Rule 211 of FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211).

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

    Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to
