On May 19, 2003, the Office of Fossil 

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy

authorizing DCT to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

as a power marketer. That two-year

renew its authorization to transmit 

electric energy from the United States 

Canada for terms of five years. DCT, a 

Canadian corporation, 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. 

DCT proposes to export electric 

energy to Canada and to arrange for the 

delivery of those exports over the 

international transmission facilities 

owned by New York Power Authority 

and Niagara Mohawk Power 

Corporation. 

The construction of each of the 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by DCT, as more fully 

described in the applications, has 

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended.

Commission 

[Docket No. PL05–5–000] 

Inquiry Regarding Income Tax 

Allowances; Request for Comments; 

Notice of Extension of Time 

December 9, 2004. 

On December 8, 2004, the Association 

of Oil Pipe Lines (AOPL), Interstate 

Natural Gas Association of America 

(INGAA), and Edison Electric Institute 

(EEI) (together, Movants) filed a motion 

for an extension of time to file 

comments in response to the 

Commission’s Request For Comments 

issued December 2, 2004, in the abovedocketed proceeding. Movants state that 

an extension is necessary because the 

current deadline for filing comments, 

December 22, 2004, falls during the 

holiday season and it is difficult to 

assemble the resources required to 

respond to the significant and complex 

policy issues addressed in the Request 

For Comments. The Movants further 

state that interested parties outside the 

regulated industries who may not yet be 

aware of the Commission’s inquiry 

would also benefit from additional time 

to comment. 

Upon consideration, notice is hereby 

given that an extension of time to file 

comments on the December 2 Request 

For Comments is granted to and 

including January 21, 2005, as requested 

by Movants.
