ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) gives notice of availability of the final Guidance setting forth the nonbinding process that DOE plans to generally follow to designate National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC) pursuant to the Federal Power Act. The Federal Power Act requires DOE to issue a report not less frequently than once every three years, which may designate as a NIETC any geographic area that is experiencing or is expected to experience electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion that adversely affects consumers. NIETC designation focuses public and policymaker attention on the areas of greatest transmission need and unlocks valuable Federal financing and permitting tools to advance transmission development. DATES: Interested parties may submit information and recommendations based on the list of information requested for Phase 1 in the Guidance by 5:00 p.m. ET on February 2, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gretchen Kershaw, U.S. Department of Energy, Grid Deployment Office, at (202) 586–2006; or NIETC@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) is announcing the availability of the Guidance on Implementing Section 216(a) of the Federal Power Act to Designate National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC Guidance). Section 216(a)(2) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), as amended by section 40105 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), requires DOE to issue a report not less frequently than once every three years, which may designate as a NIETC any geographic area that is experiencing or is expected to experience electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion that adversely affects consumers. DOE must base any NIETC designation on the findings of DOE’s triennial nationwide study required by FPA section 216(a)(1), which DOE refers to as the National Transmission Needs Study (Needs Study), or other information relating to electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion. In addition, the FPA requires DOE to consider alternatives E:\FR\FM\08JAN1.SGM 08JAN1
