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 Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586– 

8008. 

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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On April 3, 2015, DOE received an 

application from CWP Energy for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada as a 

power marketer for five years using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. 

In its application, CWP Energy states 

that it does not own or control any 

electric generation or transmission 

facilities, and it does not have a 

franchised service area. The electric 

energy that CWP Energy proposes to 

export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from third parties 

such as power marketers, independent 

power producers, electric utilities, and 

Federal power marketing agencies 

pursuant to voluntary agreements. The 

existing international transmission 

facilities to be utilized by CWP Energy 

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 Federal

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

of such comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene should be sent to the 

address provided above on or before the

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 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system.

Any questions concerning this

Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas 

Transmission, LLC, 5151 San Felipe 

Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056 at

Specifically the applicants propose to 

replace approximately 22.1 miles of 

existing 20-inch bare pipe with new 

coated pipe from North Fork of Licking 

River to Foster Station, 0.4 miles of 

existing 14-inch pipeline, installing one 

bi-directional launcher/receiver 

assembly on EM2 line at South Means 

and one bi-directional launcher/receiver 

assembly at Foster Station, as well as 

eight mainline valve settings, and 

appurtenant facilities. The Applicants 

requested a pre-determination of rolledin rates treatment for the Project. The 

cost of the project will be approximately 

$119.5 million. 

On June 27, 2014, the Commission 

staff granted Columbia’s request to 

utilize the Pre-Filing Process and 

assigned Docket No. PF14–15–000 to 

staff activities involved in the Project. 

Now, as of the filing of the April 7, 2015 

application, the Pre-Filing Process for 

this project has ended. From this time 

forward, this proceeding will be 

conducted in Docket No. CP15–160– 

000, as noted in the caption of this 

Notice. 

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules (18 CFR 157.9), 

within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

seven copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be
