DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[OE Docket No. EA-386-B]


Application To Export Electric Energy; ENGIE Energy Marketing NA, 
Inc.

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

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

SUMMARY: ENGIE Energy Marketing NA, Inc. (EEMNA or Applicant) has 
applied to renew its 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 March 12, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity Delivery 
and Energy Reliability, 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 
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 March 27, 2003, DOE issued Order No. EA-386 to IPR-GDF Suez 
Energy Marketing North America, Inc. (GSEMNA), which authorized the 
Applicant to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico 
as a power marketer for a five-year term

[[Page 5768]]

using existing international transmission facilities. On May 3, 2017, 
GSEMNA changed its name to EEMNA in Order No. EA-386-A. That authority 
expires on March 27, 2018. On January 26, 2018, EEMNA filed an 
application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in 
Order No. EA-386 for an additional five-year term.
    In its application, EEMNA states that it does not own or operate 
any electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does not 
have a franchised service area. The electric energy that EEMNA proposes 
to export to Mexico would be 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 EEMNA 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 EEMNA's application to export 
electric energy to Mexico should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-386-B. An additional copy is to be provided directly to both Adam 
Roth, ENGIE Energy Marketing NA, Inc., 1900 Post Oak Blvd., Suite 1900, 
Houston, TX 77056, and Catherine P. McCarthy, Bracewell LLP, 2001 M 
Street NW, Suite 900, Washington, DC 20036.
    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
