authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C.

On April 3, 2015, DOE received an 

application from CWP Energy for

energy that CWP Energy proposes to 

export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from third parties 

such as power marketers, independent 

power producers, electric utilities, and 

Federal power marketing agencies 

pursuant to voluntary agreements. The 

existing international transmission 

facilities to be utilized by CWP Energy 

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 be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal

A final decision will be made on this 

application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to DOE’s National Environmental Policy 

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not have an adverse impact on the 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system.

made available, upon request, for public 

inspection and copying at the address 

provided above, by accessing the
