sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the
Department of Energy Organization Act
(42 U.S.C. 151(b), 7172(f)) and require
authorization under section 202(e) of
the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
824a(e)).
On September 28, 2016, DOE received
an application from TPS 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.
In its application, TPS states that it
does not own or control any electric
generation or transmission facilities,
and it does not have a franchised service
area. The electric energy that TPS
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)
Rules of Practice and Procedures (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 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 TPS’s application to export
electric energy to Mexico should be
clearly marked with OE Docket No. EA–
431. An additional copy is to be
provided to both Norma Rosner Iacovo,
Tenaska Power Services Co., 1701 E.
Lamar Blvd., Suite 100, Arlington, TX
76006, and Neil L. Levy, KING &
SPALDING LLP, 1700 Pennsylvania
Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20006.
A final decision will be made on this
application after the environmental
impacts have been evaluated pursuant
to DOE’s National Environmental Policy
Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR
part 1021) and after a determination is
made by DOE that the proposed action
will not have an adverse impact on the
sufficiency of supply or reliability of the
U.S. electric power supply system.
Copies of this application will be
made available, upon request, for public
