[OE Docket No. EA-460]


Application to Export Electric Energy; Enel Trading North 
America, LLC

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Enel Trading North America, LLC (ETNA or Applicant) has 
applied for authority to transmit electric energy from the United 
States to Mexico pursuant to the Federal Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on 
or before September 28, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity, Mail 
Code: OE-20, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 
Washington, DC 20585-0350. Because of delays in handling conventional 
mail, it is recommended that documents be transmitted by overnight 
mail, by electronic mail to [email protected], or by 
facsimile to 202-586-8008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 August 3, 2018, DOE received an application from ETNA 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 ``is not a 
franchised public utility with a transmission or distribution system, 
and does not have captive customers.'' The electric energy that ETNA 
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

[[Page 44038]]

(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 ETNA's application to export 
electric energy to Mexico should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-460. An additional copy is to be provided to Margaret M. Bateman, 
Esq., Enel Green Power North America, Inc., 100 Brickstone Square, 
Suite 300, Andover, MA 01810.
    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 inspection and copying at the address provided above, by 
accessing the program website at http://energy.gov/node/11845, or by 
emailing Angela Troy at [email protected].
