SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 24, 1997, the Office of Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) authorized ECI to transmit electric energy from the United States to Mexico as a power marketer using the international electric transmission facilities of San Diego Gas & Electric Company, El Paso Electric Company, Central Power and Light Company, and Comision Federal de Electricidad, the national electric utility of Mexico. That two-year authorization expired on February 24, 1999. On June 24, 1999, in Order EA-121-A, FE renewed ECI's authority to export electric energy to Mexico for a 5-year term. That order will expire on June 24, 2004. On August 24, 1999, FE was notified that Electric Clearinghouse Inc. had changed its name to Dynegy Power Marketing Inc.

On May 13, 2004, DYPM applied to FE for a 5-year renewal of its authority to export electric energy to Mexico as a power marketer and requested expedited processing of its application to insure there is no lapse of export authority.
