Jkt 244001

Exports of
electricity from the United States to a
foreign country are regulated by the
United States 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) and
7172(f)) and require authorization under
section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On July 30, 2018, DOE received an
application from MEAI 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.
MEAI is also registered as a Purchasing
and Selling Entity, as defined by the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC).
In its application, MEAI states that it
‘‘does not currently own or control
electric generation or transmission
facilities of its own in the United States
over which the export of wholesale
electricity could have a reliability, fuel
use, or system stability impact,’’ and
that it does not have a franchised
service area. The electric energy that
MEAI 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
Energy Regulatory Commission’s
(FERC’s) Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any
person desiring to become a party to
these proceedings should file a motion
to intervene at the above address in
accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR
385.214). Five (5) copies of such
comments, protests, or motions to
intervene should be sent to the address
provided above on or before the date
listed above.
Comments and other filings
concerning MEAI’s application to export
electric energy to Mexico should be
clearly marked with OE Docket No. EA–
459. An additional copy is to be
