[OE Docket No. PP–481–1] 

Application To Amend Presidential 

Permit; CHPE LLC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: CHPE LLC (Applicant or 

CHPE) has filed a supplement to its 

application to amend Presidential 

Permit No. PP–481. CHPE LLC seeks to 

further amend its permit application to 

allow for certain modifications to the 

previously permitted project. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before March 31, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Comments or motions to 

intervene should be addressed to 

Christopher Lawrence, 

Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) 

at 202–586–5260 or by email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

construction, operation, maintenance, 

and connection of facilities at the 

international border of the United States 

for the transmission of electric energy 

between the United States and a foreign 

country is prohibited in the absence of 

a Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order (E.O.) 10485, as 

amended by E.O. 12038. 

On September 25, 2020, CHPE filed 

an application with the Office of 

Electricity of the Department of Energy 

(DOE), as required by regulations at 10 

CFR 205.320 et seq., requesting that 

DOE amend Presidential Permit No. PP– 

481 to allow for changes in the route 

previously permitted (Amendment 

Application). Notice of that application 

was published in the Federal Register 

on October 5, 2020 (85 FR 62,721). 

On January 15, 2021, CHPE filed a 

supplement to its Amendment 

Application asking DOE to amend 

Presidential Permit No. PP–481 to 

increase the capacity of the proposed 

Project from 1,000 megawatts (MW) to 

1,250 MW. Since the filing of the 

Amendment Application last 

September, the New York Independent 

System Operator (NYISO) completed a 

System Reliability Impact Study (SRIS) 

that assessed the potential impact of 

increasing the Project’s transmission 

capacity from 1,000 MW to 1,250 MW. 

The SRIS determined that the Project 

can interconnect and operate at 1,250 

MW without adversely affecting the 

reliability of the interstate transmission 

grid. In addition to the completed SRIS, 

an expert retained by CHPE completed 

an analysis of the potential impacts of 

operating a 1,250 MW transmission line. 

This analysis, which addressed 

magnetic fields, compass deviations, 

and thermal cable losses, determined 

that there would be no material change 

in impacts beyond those identified for 

the permitted 1,000 MW project. 

Procedural Matters: Any person may 

comment on this application by filing 

such comment at the address provided 

above. Any person seeking to become a 

party to this proceeding must file a 

motion to intervene at the address 

provided above in accordance with Rule 

214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Notices 11961 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214). Each 

comment or motion to intervene should 

be filed with DOE on or before the date 

listed above. 

Comments and other filings 

concerning this application should be 

clearly marked with OE Docket No. PP– 

481–1. Additional copies are to be 

provided directly to Mr. Donald 

Jessome, Chief Executive Officer, 

Transmission Developers Inc., Pieter 

Schuyler Building, 600 Broadway,

Ryan, Baker Botts LLP, 700 K Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20001, jay.ryan@

bakerbotts.com. 

Before a Presidential permit may be 

issued or amended, DOE must 

determine that the proposed action is in 

the public interest. In making that 

determination, DOE will consider the 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action (i.e., granting the Presidential 

permit or amendment, with any 

conditions and limitations, or denying 

the permit), determine the proposed 

project’s impact on electric reliability by 

ascertaining whether the proposed 

project would adversely affect the 

operation of the U.S. electric power 

supply system under normal and 

contingency conditions, and weigh any 

other factors that DOE may also 

consider relevant to the public interest. 

DOE also must obtain the favorable 

recommendation of the Secretary of 

State and the Secretary of Defense 

before taking final action on a 

Presidential permit application.
