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 January 11, 2010, DOE received an 

application from Aquilon Power for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada as a 

power marketer using international 

transmission facilities located at the 

United States border with Canada. 

Aquilon Power does not own any 

electric transmission facilities nor does 

it hold a franchised service area. The 

electric energy which Aquilon Power 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies, and other entities within the 

United States. Aquilon Power has 

requested an electricity export 

authorization with a 5-year term. 

The construction, operation, 

maintenance, and connection of each of 

the international transmission facilities 

to be utilized by Aquilon Power has 

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended. 

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 

DOE on or before the date listed above. 

Comments on the Aquilon Power 

application to export electric energy to 

Canada should be clearly marked with

& Giuliani LLP, 2000 K Street, NW., 

Suite 500, Washington, DC 20006–1872. 

A final decision will be made on this 

application after the environmental 

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, and 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.
