Federal Power Act.

addressed as follows: Office of Coal &

Power Im/Ex (FE–27), Office of Fossil

Energy, U.S. Department of Energy,

1000 Independence Avenue, SW,

Washington, DC 20585–0350 (FAX 202–

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Rosalind Carter (Program Office) 202–

586-7983 or Michael Skinker (Program

Attorney) 202–586–2793.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

21, 1998, the Office of Fossil Energy

(FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE)

issued Order No. EA–187 authorizing

MEGA to transmit electric energy from

the United States to Canada as a power

marketer using the international electric

transmission facilities owned and

operated by Basin Electric Power

Cooperative, Bonneville Power

Administration, Citizens Utilities,

Detroit Edison, Eastern Maine Electric

Cooperative, Joint Owners of the

Highgate Project, Inc., Maine Electric

Power Company, Maine Public Service

Company, Minnesota Power and Light

Co., Inc., Minnkota Power, New York

Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk

Power Corp., Northern States Power,

and Vermont Electric Transmission

Company. That two-year authorization

will expire on August 21, 2000.

On May 31, 2000, MEGA filed an

application with FE for renewal of the

export authority contained in Order No.

EA–187. In that application, MEGA also

requested that the international

transmission facilities of Long Sault,

Inc. be added to the list of authorized

export points.

Procedural Matters:

Any person desiring to become a

party to this proceeding 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

FERC’s Rules of Practice and Procedures

(18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen

copies of each petition and protest

should be filed with the DOE on or

before the date listed above.

Comments on the MEGA request to

export to Canada should be clearly

marked with Docket EA–187–A.

Additional copies are to be filed directly

with Mr. Joseph P. Limone, Esq.,

General Counsel, Merchant Energy,

Group of the Americas, Inc., 151 West

Street, Suite 300, Annapolis, MD 21401.

DOE notes that the circumstances

described in this application are

virtually identical to those for which

export authority had previously been

granted in FE Order No. EA–187.

Consequently, DOE believes that it has

adequately satisfied its responsibilities

under the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 through the

documentation of a categorical

exclusion in the FE Docket EA–187

proceeding.

Copies of this application will be

made available, upon request, for public

inspection and copying at the address

provided above or by accessing the

Fossil Energy Home Page at http://

www.fe.doe.gov. Upon reaching the

Fossil Energy Home page, select

‘‘Electricity,’’ from the Regulatory Info

menu, and then ‘‘Pending Proceedings’’
