DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[OE Docket No. EA–326–A] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Citigroup Energy Canada ULC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Citigroup Energy Canada ULC 

(CECU) 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 motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before May 18, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

motions to intervene 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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) 

at 202–586–5260, or by email to 

Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov. 

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 May 17, 2007, the Department of 

Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–326 

authorizing CECU to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

as a power marketer for a five-year term. 

The current export authority in Order 

No. EA–326 will expire on May 17, 

2012. On April 3, 2012, CECU filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of 

that authority for an additional ten-year 

term. 

In its application, CECU states that it 

‘‘does not currently own or control 

electric generation or transmission 

facilities in any wholesale market in 

interstate commerce or have a power 

supply system of its own on which its 

exports of electricity could have a 

reliability, fuel use, or system stability 

impact.’’ CECU states that the electric 

power proposed to be exported to 

Canada will be purchased from electric 

utilities and federal power marketing 

agencies pursuant to voluntary 

agreements and will be surplus to the 

system needs of the entities selling the 

power to CECU. The application also 

indicates that CECU is a power marketer 

authorized by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) to sell 

energy, capacity, and specified ancillary 

services at market-based rates. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

CECU 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 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 FERC 

Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 

CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to 

become a party to these proceedings 

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC 

Rule 214 (385.214). Five copies of such 

comments, protests, or motions to 

intervene should be sent to the address 

provided above on or before the date 

listed above. 

Comments on the CECU application 

to export electric energy to Canada 

should be clearly marked with OE 

Docket No. 326–A. An additional copy 

is to be filed directly with Victoria 

Sharp, Citigroup Energy Inc., 2800 Post 

Oak Boulevard, Suite 500, Houston, TX 

77056 and with Vincenzo Franco, Esq., 

Van Ness Feldman, P.C., 1050 Thomas 

Jefferson St. NW., Seventh Floor, 

Washington, DC 20007. 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 have an 

adverse impact on the reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system. 

Copies of this application will be 

made available, upon request, for public 

inspection and copying at the address 

provided above, by accessing the 

program Web site at http://energy.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EERE 

through the National Renewable Energy 

Laboratory is developing voluntary 

work specifications for the work 

involved in home energy upgrades. This 

document builds upon the considerable 

body of material already in circulation 

and the cumulative knowledge gathered 

throughout the 30-year history of the 

Weatherization Assistance Program and 

broader home performance industry. 

The development of The Guidelines 

for Home Energy Professionals: 

Standard Work Specifications for Single 

Family Energy Upgrades (SWS) is 

supported by the Weatherization 

Assistance Program (WAP) Training and 

Technical Assistance Plan (T&TA). The 

process of developing the SWS has 

involved a historic collaboration 

between WAP practitioners and trainers, 

home performance contractors, building 

scientists, organized labor, healthy 

homes and worker safety experts, and 

other professionals in the building 

trades and throughout the retrofit 

industry. On November 9, 2010, EERE 

issued a notice requesting public 

comment on a draft version of the SWS. 

On March 29, 2012, EERE made 

available a version of the SWS that was 

revised in response to comments 

received, and provided an opportunity 

for public review and comment until 

April 11, 2012. 77 FR 19008. For 

background on the revised version of 

the SWS, see the March 29, 2012 notice. 

Comments provided to date can be 

viewed at: http://nrel.pnnl.gov/ 

forumdisplay.php/9-SWS-for-SingleFamily-Homes. 

The comment docket now identifies 

the commenter along with the comment 

provided. 

A number of commenters indicated 

that because of the extent of changes to 

the revised SWS as compared to the 

version previously made publically 

available, additional time should be 

provided for review and comment. This 

notice reopens the comment period on 

the revised guidelines to provide 

additional opportunity for public review 

and comment. 

Submission of Comments 

DOE will accept comments, data, and 

information regarding the proposed 

guidelines no later than the date 

specified under the DATES heading. 

Comments received during the period 

following April 11, 2012, and the date 

of this notice will be treated as having 

been timely submitted. 

If submitting comments via the DOE 

Web page, please follow all instructions 

on the Web page: http:// 

www.weatherization.energy.gov/ 

retrofit_guidelines. This Web site is 

specifically designed for ease of use to 

facilitate the public comment process. 

Comments, data, and information 

uploaded to regulations.gov, or 

submitted via DOE’s email address or 

regular mail should be provided in 

WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, PDF, or 

text (ASCII) file format. Interested 

parties should avoid the use of special 

characters or any form of encryption, 

and wherever possible, comments 

should include the electronic signature 

of the author. Comments, data, and 

information submitted to DOE via 

regular mail may include one signed 

paper original. 

According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any 

person submitting information that he 

or she believes to be confidential and 

exempt by law from public disclosure 

should submit two copies: One copy of 

the document including all the 

information believed to be confidential, 

and one copy of the document that does 

not include the information believed to 

be confidential. DOE will make its own 

determination as to the confidential 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination. 

Factors of interest to DOE when 

evaluating requests to treat submitted 

information as confidential include: 

(1) A description of the items; 

(2) Whether and why such items are 

customarily treated as confidential 

within the industry; 

(3) Whether the information is 

generally known by or available from 

other sources; 

(4) Whether the information has 

previously been made available to 

others without obligation concerning its 

confidentiality; 

(5) An explanation of the competitive 

injury to the submitting person which 

would result from public disclosure; 

(6) A date upon which such 

information might lose its confidential 

nature due to the passage of time; and 

(7) Why disclosure of the information 

would be contrary to the public interest.
