**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 3, 2000 the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–220, which authorized NRGPML to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer using existing international transmission facilities for a two-year term. DOE renewed the NRGPML export authorization two additional times; in Order No. EA–220–A on September 24, 2002 and in Order No. EA–220–B on August 23, 2005. Order No. EA–220–B expired on August 23, 2010. On September 15, 2010, NRGPML filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA–220–B for an additional five-year

term.

The electric energy that NRGPML 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 NRGPML 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.

An additional copy is to be filed directly with Alan Johnson, NRG Power Marketing LLC, 211 Carnegie Center, Princeton, NJ 08540. 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 adversely impact on the reliability of the U.S. electric power supply system.
