### 38515 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 127 / Friday, July 2, 2010 / Notices

authorization under section 202(e) of the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).

On June 18, 2010, DOE received an application from BEM LP for authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer using existing international transmission facilities for five years. BEM LP does not own any electric transmission facilities nor does it hold a franchised service area.

The electric energy that BEM LP proposes to export to Canada would be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing agencies and other entities within the United States. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by BEM LP have previously been authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties.

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 provided above in accordance with §§ 385.211 or 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.

Comments on the BEM LP application to export electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with Docket No. EA–368. Additional copies are to be filed directly with Andrea Rocheleau, Brookfield Energy Marketing LP, 480 de la Cite Blvd., Gatineau, Quebec J8T 8R3
AND Jack Burkom, Brookfield Energy Marketing LP, 480 de la Cite Blvd., Gatineau, Quebec J8T 8R3. A final decision will be made on this application after the environmental impacts have been evaluated 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.

Copies of this application will be made available, upon request, for public inspection and copying at the address provided above, by accessing the program Web site at http:// www.oe.energy.gov/permits
