Applications To Export Electric
Energy; Shell Energy North America
(US), L.P.
AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery
and Energy Reliability, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of application.
SUMMARY: Shell Energy North America
(US), L.P. (SENA) has applied for
authority to transmit electric energy
from the United States to Mexico and
Canada pursuant to section 202(e) of the
Federal Power Act.
DATES: Comments, protests, or requests
to intervene must be submitted on or
before May 1, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or
requests to intervene should be
addressed as follows: Office of
Electricity Delivery and Energy

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202–586–

Attorney) 202–586–2793.
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 FPA (16 U.S.C.824a(e)).
On March 14, 2008, DOE received two
separate applications from SENA for
authority to transmit electric energy
from the United States to Mexico and
Canada as a power marketer for a term
of five years. SENA does not own any
electric transmission facilities nor does
it hold a franchised service area. The
electric energy which SENA proposes to
export to Mexico and Canada would be
surplus energy purchased from electric
utilities, Federal power marketing
agencies, and other entities within the
United States.
In OE Docket No. EA–338, SENA
proposes to transmit electric energy to
Mexico and arrange for the delivery of
those exports over the international
transmission facilities presently owned
by AEP Texas Central Company, Baja
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
California Power, Inc., Central Power &
Light Company, Comision Federal de
Electricdad, the national electric utility
of Mexico, El Paso Electric Company,
San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and
Sharyland Utilities, Inc.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:40 Mar 31, 2008 Jkt 214001
In OE Docket No. EA–339, SENA
proposes to export electric energy to
Canada and to arrange for the delivery
of those exports over the international
transmission facilities presently owned
by Basin Electric Power Cooperative,
Bonneville Power Administration,
Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative,
International Transmission Co., Joint
Owners of the Highgate Project, Long
Sault, Inc., Maine Electric Power
Company, Maine Public Service
Company, Minnesota Power, Inc.,
Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc., New
York Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk
Power Corp., Northern States Power
Company, Vermont Electric Power
Company, and Vermont Electric
Transmission Company.
The construction, operation,
maintenance, and connection of each of
the international transmission facilities
to be utilized by SENA was previously
authorized by a Presidential permit
issued pursuant to Executive Order
10485, as amended.
DOE expects exporters of electric
energy to obtain the necessary
authorization from DOE to export
electricity and to abide by the terms and
conditions established for such export
in the Orders issued by DOE, including
any term limit for the authorization and
the requirement to create and preserve
full and complete records and file
quarterly reports. Failure to first obtain
an Order authorizing the export of
electricity, or continuing to export after
the expiration of such an Order, may
result in a denial of authorization to
export in the future and subject the
exporter to sanctions and penalties
under the FPA. DOE also expects
transmitting utilities owning border
facilities and entities charged with the
operational control of those border
facilities, such as Independent System
Operators or Regional Transmisssion
Organizations, to verify that companies
seeking to schedule an electricity export
have the requisite authority from DOE to
export such power.
Procedural Matters: Any person
desiring to become a party to these
proceedings or to be heard by filing
comments or protests to this application
should file a petition to intervene,
comment, or protest at the address

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules
of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

comment, petition, and protest should
be filed with DOE on or before the dates

will not adversely impact on the
reliability of the U.S. electric power
