View Rule

The Department of Energy (DOE) is updating the administrative procedures regarding applications to export electricity to a foreign country and to permit the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of facilities for the transmission of electric energy across international boundaries under the Federal Power Act section 202(e) and Executive Order 10485, as amended by Executive Order 12038, respectively. The administrative procedures differ from the original rules set forth in 10 CFR parts 205.300-309 and 205.320-329, by providing greater procedural instructions and detail as well as updating the procedures to better reflect changes in the industry. Additionally, the fee schedule for each of the applications has been updated to reflect the current estimated cost of processing each application.
