AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.

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 March 10, 2016, DOE received an application from TEM 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. TEM will be submitting an application requesting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorization to make wholesale power sales at market-based rates. TEM will also register with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the PUCT). In its application, TEM 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 TEM 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).
