should register to do so on the days of

Notice of Extension of Comment 

Period; International Transmission 

Company, d/b/a ITC Transmission 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Comment 

Period. 

SUMMARY: International Transmission 

Company, d/b/a ITCTransmission (ITC), 

filed a request to extend the comment 

period on its supplemental filing of 

operational documents in an ongoing 

Presidential permit proceeding 

regarding the ITC application to amend 

Presidential Permit No. PP–230–3. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted 

and received by DOE on or before 

October 14, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to: Christopher Lawrence, 

Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy 

Reliability, Mail Code: OE–20, U.S. 

Department of Energy, 1000 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20585–0350. Because 

of delays in handling conventional mail, 

it is recommended that documents be 

transmitted by overnight mail, by 

electronic mail to 

Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov, or 

by facsimile to 202–586–8008.

Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) 

at 202–586–5260, or by e-mail to 

Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 5, 2009, ITC applied to the DOE 

to amend Presidential Permit No. PP– 

230–3 by authorizing ITC to replace a 

failed 675-MVA transformer with two 

700-MVA phase-shifting transformers 

connected in series at ITC’s Bunce Creek 

Station in Marysville, Michigan. 

DOE issued a notice of ITC’s 

application in the Federal Register on 

February 10, 2009 (74 FR 6607), 

requesting that any comments, protests, 

or motions to intervention be filed by 

March 12, 2009. Numerous responsive 

documents were filed, including late 

requests to intervene. The filings raised 

various issues, including the need to 

review the operational protocols for the 

facilities with the installation of the new 

transformers, also known as phase angle 

regulators (PARs). 

On August 9, 2011, DOE received 

Supplemental Reply Comments from 

ITC, which completed the ITC response 

to earlier comments filed in the 

proceeding by the Midwest Independent 

Transmission System Operator (MISO), 

Inc. and the Independent Electricity 

System Operator of Ontario. According 

to ITC, the supplemental filing provided 

the operational agreements required to 

complete ITC’s application in the 

amendment proceeding, including a 

letter of agreement between ITC and 

MISO assigning functional control of the 

subject facilities at the Bunce Creek 

Station to MISO.

1Number of hours an employee works each year. 

2Average annual salary per employee (including 

overhead). 

ITC requested that DOE accept this 

filing as sufficient to allow DOE to 

approve its application to amend the 

ITC Presidential permit on an expedited 

basis without further notice so that the 

transformers can be placed into service 

and benefits from controlling the Lake 

Erie loop flow can begin. ITC has also 

indicated that placing the PARs into 

service now will also allow the parties 

to better assess the various impacts of 

PARs operations and thus, better 

determine if the current operational 

procedures would need to be modified. 

DOE issued a notice in the Federal 

Register on August 18, 2011 (76 FR 

52945) inviting comments from prior 

participants in the proceeding and other 

interested persons on the ITC 

supplemental filing until September 23, 

2011. Specifically, DOE was interested 

in obtaining the views of other affected 

utilities and system operators on the 

sufficiency of the operating principles 

provided by ITC. 

On September 15, 2011 ITC filed a 

motion to extend the current comment 

period on its supplemental filing for 

three additional weeks until October 14, 

2011, in order to allow more time for the 

parties in the case to finalize ongoing 

settlement discussions. Therefore, DOE 

is granting an extension of the current 

comment period on the ITC 

supplemental filing until October 14, 

2011. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to be heard in response to this 

notice should file written comments 

with DOE. Five copies of such 

comments should be sent to the address 

provided above on or before the date 

listed above. 

Additional copies of such petitions to 

intervene or protests also should be 

filed directly with: Stephen J. Videto, 

ITCTransmission, 27175 Energy Way, 

Novi, MI 48377 and John R. Staffier, 

Stuntz, Davis & Staffier, P.C., 555 

Twelfth Street, NW., Suite 630, 

Washington, DC 20004.

Docket No. PP–230–4 proceeding may 

be viewed by going to the Pending 

Applications page at http://energy.gov/

On page 3, in the table, the average 

burden hours per response should be 

changed from 88 to 70.4. This lower 

figure reflects the actual estimated 

burden that was previously approved by 

OMB and not used in the table due to 

an oversight. Changing this figure in the 

table necessitates changing the total 

annual burden hours listed in the table 

from 11,669 to 9,363 (rounded). 

On page 4, due to correcting the error 

on page 3, the first two sentences should 

read: 

The estimated total cost to respondents is 

$640,879 (rounded) [9,363 hours/2080 hours 

per year, times $142,372 equals $640,879].
