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)
under Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2023 and Redelegation Order No.
S3-DEL-GD1-2023.
On April 11, 2024, ATNV Energy, LP filed an application
(Application or App.) with DOE to transmit electric energy from the
United States to Mexico for a five-year term. App. at 1.
According to the Application, ATNV Energy, LP is ``a Delaware
limited partnership with its principal place of business in Houston,
Texas.'' Id. ATNV Energy, LP states it is a ``power marketer that does
not own or operate a transmission system,'' and its owners do not own
or control an interest in any electric generation, transmission, or
distribution facilities. Id. at 1, 4. The Applicant represents that it
is ``authorized to sell wholesale energy, capacity, and ancillary
services at market-based rates'' and is subject to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission's jurisdiction. Id. at 2.
ATNV Energy, LLP states it ``will purchase the electric power to be
exported in the markets in which it participates, on a firm or
interruptible basis,'' and ``[a]ny power purchased by the Applicant for
export would be surplus to the needs of those entities selling power to
the Applicant.'' Id. at 3-4. The Applicant also asserts its exports
will comply with all North American Electric Reliability Corporation
requirements and exports limits imposed by DOE. Id. at 4. For these
reasons, the Applicant contends that its exports ``will not impair or
tend to impede the sufficiency of electric supply in the United States
or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or
operations.'' 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 App. at
Attachment 1.
Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at the
email address provided previously. Protests should be filed in
accordance with Rule 211 of FERC's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding
should file a motion to intervene at the previously provided email
address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214).

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.
