authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico 
as a power marketer. HEMP proposes to deliver electric power to Mexico 
over any international transmission facility authorized by Presidential 
permit that is appropriate for open access transmission by third

would be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. HEPM has 
requested an electricity export authorization with a 5-year term.

proceedings or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this 
application should file a petition to intervene, comment, or protest at

385.214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 
petition and protest should be filed with DOE on or before the date 
listed above.

pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, and a 
determination is made by DOE that the proposed action will not 
adversely impact on the reliability of the U.S. electric power supply 
system.
