On April 8, 2003, the Office of Fossil 

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy 

(DOE) issued Order No. EA–275 

authorizing NorthPoint to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada as a power marketer using 

existing international electric

On September 30, 2004, the FE

NorthPoint, a Canadian corporation 

based in Saskatchewan, Canada, is a 

power marketer that does not own or 

control any electric generation or 

transmission facilities nor does it have 

any franchised service territory in the 

United States. NorthPoint exports 

electrical energy acquired from United 

States generating sources to customers 

in Canada.

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated and 

require authorization under section 

202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) 

(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On September 27, 2004, the Office of 

Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of 

Energy (DOE) received an application 

from Rainbow to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to 

Canada. Rainbow is a North Dakota 

corporation with its principal place of 

business located in Bismark, North 

Dakota. Rainbow is a privately owned 

corporation and is a subsidiary of 

United Energy Corporation. Rainbow 

does not own or control any 

transmission or distribution assets, nor 

does it have a franchised service area. 

The electric energy which Rainbow 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

purchased from electric utilities and 

Federal power marketing agencies 

within the U.S. 

On October 13, 2004, Rainbow 

supplemented its application with a 

letter requesting that DOE expedite the 

processing of this application based on 

Rainbow’s assertion that it currently has 

pending transactions that cannot be 

executed until prior to receipt of an 

electricity export authorization. 

Accordingly, DOE has shortened the 

public comment period to 15 days. 

Rainbow proposes to arrange for the 

delivery of electric energy to Canada 

over the existing international 

transmission facilities owned by Basin 

Electric Power Cooperative, Bonneville 

Power Administration, Eastern Maine 

Electric Cooperative, International 

Transmission Company, Joint Owners of 

the Highgate Project, Long Sault, Inc., 

Maine Electric Power Company, Maine 

Public Service Company, Minnesota 

Power Inc., Minnkota Power 

Cooperative, New York Power 

Authority, Niagara Mohawk Power 

Corporation, Northern States Power, 

Vermont Electric Company, and 

Vermont Electric Transmission 

Company. The construction, operation, 

maintenance, and connection of each of 

the international transmission facilities 

to be utilized by Rainbow, as more fully 

described in the application, has 

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to this 

proceeding 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 

sections 385.211 or 385.214 of the 

FERC’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 Rainbow 

application to export electric energy to 

Canada should be clearly marked with 

Docket EA–296. Additional copies are to 

be filed directly with Joseph M. Wolfe, 

Rainbow Energy Marketing Corporation, 

Kirkwood Office Tower, 919 South 7th 

Street, Suite 405, Bismarck, ND 58504. 

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 the 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 or by accessing the 

Fossil Energy Home Page at http://
