integrated pulp and paper operations 

owned by Twin Rivers and its affiliate

Application to Export Electric Energy; 

Direct Energy Marketing, Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Application. 

SUMMARY: Direct Energy Marketing, Inc. 

(DEMI) has applied to renew its 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada 

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA). 

DATES: Comments, protests, or requests 

to intervene must be submitted to DOE

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) 

202–586–5260. 

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 November 5, 2003, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–280, which authorized 

DEMI to transmit electric energy from 

the United States to Canada for a twoyear term as a power marketer using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. DOE renewed the DEMI export 

authorization in Order No. EA–280–A 

on March 17, 2006. Order No. EA–280– 

A expired on November 5, 2010. On 

November 5, 2010, DEMI filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–280–A for an additional ten-year 

term. 

DEMI has requested expedited 

treatment of their application. DEMI 

states that due to recent personnel 

changes, the impending termination of 

their current export authorization was 

only recently discovered. Because that 

authorization has expired, DEMI wishes 

to have expedited treatment of this 

application in order to minimize the 

disruption to its electricity trade with 

Canadian interests. DEMI also indicated 

that it has not engaged in the export of 

electricity since its authorization 

expired and will not do so unless and 

until DEMI receives an Order granting 

renewal of its export authority in this 

proceeding. In response to DEMI’s 

request for expedited treatment, DOE 

has shortened the public comment 

period to 15 days. 

The electric energy that DEMI 

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 

DEMI 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. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings 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 

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 

385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 

petition and protest should be filed with 

and received by DOE on or before the 

date listed above. 

Comments on the DEMI application to 

export electric energy to Canada should 

be clearly marked with Docket No. EA– 

280–B. Additional copies are to be filed 

directly with Judith Kim, FERC 

Attorney, Direct Energy, LP, 12 

Greenway Plaza, Suite 600, Houston, 

Texas 77046 and Katherine Krause, 

Director, U.S. Compliance, Direct 

Energy, LP, 12 Greenway Plaza, Suite 

600, Houston, Texas. A final decision 

will be made on this application after 

the environmental impacts have been 

evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR Part 1021) and after 

a determination is made by DOE that the 

proposed action will not adversely 

impact on the reliability of the U.S. 

electric power supply system.
