SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country,
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 7172(f)). Such
exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power
Act (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On October 7, 2021, MSCG filed an application with DOE (Application
or App.) to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico
``for a five-year period, or such longer period as the Department may
authorize for similarly situated power marketers.'' App. at 1. MSCG
states that it ``is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
business in New York, New York'' and that it ``is an indirect, wholly-
owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.'' Id. at 2. MSCG represents that it
``does not directly own or control any electric generation or
transmission facilities, nor does it hold a franchise or service
territory for the transmission, distribution, or sale of electric
power.'' Id. at 3.
MSCG states that it ``has purchased, or will purchase, the power
that may be exported to Mexico from wholesale generators, electric
utilities, and federal power marketing agencies.'' App. at 7. MSCG
contends that its proposed export of electricity ``will not impair the
sufficiency of electric supply within the United States, nor does it or
will it impede or tend to impede the coordination in the public
interest of facilities subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission.'' Id. at 1-2.
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 Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become
