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 June 24, 1999, the Department of 

Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–209, 

which authorized CPM to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada as a power marketer for a twoyear term using existing international 

transmission facilities. DOE renewed 

the CPM export authorization two 

additional times: On July 3, 2001 in 

Order No. EA–209–A and on May 31, 

2006 in Order No. EA–209–B. Order No. 

EA–209–B will expire on May 31, 2011. 

On February 14, 2011, CPM filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–209–B for an additional five-year 

term. 

The electric energy that CPM 

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 

CPM 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.
