On May 4, 2000, the Office of Fossil

to transmit electric energy from the

United States to Canada. IPC, an Idaho

corporation authorized to operate in

IPC intends to export will be purchased

from other electric utilities in the

United States, Federal power marketing

agencies, cogeneration facilities or

qualifying cogeneration facilities, and

exempt wholesale generators as those

terms are defined in the FPA.

IPC proposes to arrange for the

delivery of electric energy to Canada

over the existing international

transmission facilities owned by Basin

Electric Power Cooperative, Bonneville

Power Administration, Citizens

Utilities, Detroit Edison Company,

Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative,

Joint Owners of the Highgate Project,

Long Sault, Inc., Maine Electric Power

Company, Maine Public Service

Company, Minnesota Power Inc.,

Minnkota Power Cooperative, New York

Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk

Power Corporation, Northern States

Power, and Vermont Electric

Transmission Company. The

construction of each of the international

transmission facilities to be utilized by

IPC, as more fully described in the

application, has previously been

authorized by a Presidential permit

issued pursuant to Executive Order

10485, as amended.

Procedural Matters

party to this proceeding or to be heard

by filing comments or protests to this

application should file a petition to

action will not adversely impact on the

reliability of the U.S. electric power

supply system.
