SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE)
regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign
countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et
seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42
U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority,
previously exercised by the now-defunct Federal Power Commission, to
DOE.
Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to
export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that
export. (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On April 10, 2023, the authority to issue
such orders was delegated to the DOE's Grid Deployment Office (GDO) by
Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2023 and Redelegation Order No. S3-DEL-
GD1-2023.
On December 6, 2018, DOE issued Order No. EA-462, authorizing
Guzman Energy to transmit electricity from the United States to Mexico
as a power marketer for a five-year term. On October 3, 2023, Guzman
Energy filed an application with DOE (Application or App.) for renewal
of their export authority for an additional five-year term. App. at 1.
In its Application, Guzman Energy states that it ``provides,
through various subsidiaries and affiliates, a wide spectrum of
wholesale electric and energy-related products and services to a
diverse range of customers.'' App. at 2. The Applicant further
clarifies that it ``is not a franchised public utility with a
transmission or distribution system and does not have captive
customers.'' Id. The Applicant asserts that it ``does not have its own
system on which its exports of energy could have an impact with respect
to electric supply. As such, Applicant's proposed exports would not
impair the sufficiency of the electric supply on `its system,' as
Applicant does not own or operate an integrated transmission or
distribution system.'' Id. at 5.
The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized
by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential
permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See id. at
Exhibit C. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at

A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after
the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's
National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part
1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an
adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of

the United States electric power supply system.
