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 June 24, 1999, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–211, which authorized DTE 

Energy Trading to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

as a power marketer for a two-year term 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. DOE 

subsequently renewed that authority 

two additional times in Order No. EA– 

211–A on April 25, 2002 and in Order 

No. EA–211–B on April 18, 2007. The 

current authority will expire on April 

25, 2012. On January 26, 2012, DTE 

Energy Trading filed an application 

with DOE for renewal of the export 

authority contained in Order No. EA– 

211–B for an additional five-year term. 

The electric energy that DTE Energy 

Trading 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 DTE Energy Trading 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.

desiring to be heard in this proceeding 

should file a comment or protest to the 

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal

should file a motion to intervene at the

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 have an adverse impact on the 

reliability of the U.S. electric power 

supply system.
