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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On February 25, 2014, DOE received 

an application from EESS–8 for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada for 

five years as a power marketer using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. EESS–8 does not own any 

electric transmission facilities nor does 

it hold a franchised service area. EESS– 

8 states that it will make all of the 

necessary commercial arrangements and 

will obtain any and all of the required 

regulatory approvals in order to effect 

any power exports. 

The electric energy that EESS–8 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

EESS–8 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.

Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR 

part 1021) and after a determination is
