electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@
hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586–
8008.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of
electricity from the United States to a
foreign country are regulated by the
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), 7172(f)) and require
authorization under section 202(e) of
the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.
824a(e)).
On May 22, 2017, DOE received an
application from the Applicant 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, the Applicant 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 the Applicant 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 the Applicant’s application
to export electric energy to Mexico
should be clearly marked with OE
Docket No. EA–437. An additional copy
is to be provided to Fernando Miller,
EnerTime Energy Resources, LLC, 700
Milam, Suite 1300, Houston, TX 77002.
A final decision will be made on this
application after the environmental
impacts have been evaluated pursuant
to DOE’s National Environmental Policy

Notice of Petition for Waiver of Apple,
Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Poin2 Lab,
and Hefei Bitland Information
Technology Co., Ltd. From the
Department of Energy External Power
Supplies Test Procedure and Grant of
Interim Waiver
Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of petitions for waiver,
granting of interim waiver, and request
for public comment.
AGENCY:

This notice announces receipt
of and publishes petitions for waivers
from Apple, Inc. (‘‘Apple’’), Microsoft
Corporation (‘‘Microsoft’’), Poin2 Lab
(‘‘Poin2’’), and Hefei Bitland
Information Technology Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Bitland’’) (collectively, ‘‘the
petitioners’’) seeking an exemption from
specific portions of the U.S. Department
of Energy’s (‘‘DOE’s’’) test procedure for
determining external power supply
(‘‘EPS’’) energy efficiency. The waiver
requests pertain to adaptive EPSs that
support a particular International
Electrotechnical Commission standard.
Under the existing DOE test procedure,
the average active mode efficiency of an
adaptive EPS must be tested at both its
lowest and highest achievable output
voltages. The petitioners contend that
since their products operate above 2
amps current at the lowest achievable
output voltages under rare conditions
and for only brief periods of time, the
suggested alternative testing approach
detailed in their waiver petition
requests is needed to measure the active
mode efficiency of their products in a
representative manner. DOE is granting
the petitioners with an interim waiver
from the DOE EPS test procedure for the
specified basic models of EPSs, subject
to use of the alternative test procedure
as set forth in this document and is
