foreign country are regulated and 

require authorization under section

On May 1, 2007, the Department of 

Energy (DOE) received an application 

from DC Energy for authority to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada as a power marketer. DC Energy, 

a Delaware limited partnership with its 

principal place of business in Vienna, 

Virginia, has requested an electricity 

export authorization with a 5-year term. 

DC Energy does not own or control any 

electric generation, transmission, or 

distribution assets, nor does it have a 

franchised service area. The electric 

energy which DC Energy proposes to 

export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from electric utilities, 

Federal power marketing agencies, and 

other entities within the United States. 

DC Energy will arrange for the 

delivery of exports to Canada over the 

international transmission facilities 

owned by Basin Electric Power 

Cooperative, Bonneville Power 

Administration, Eastern Maine Electric 

Cooperative, International Transmission 

Co., Joint Owners of the Highgate 

Project, Long Sault, Inc., Maine Electric 

Power Company, Maine Public Service 

Company, Minnesota Power, Inc., 

Minnkota Power Cooperative, Inc., New 

York Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk 

Power Corp., Northern States Power 

Company, Vermont Electric Power 

Company, and Vermont Electric 

Transmission Co. 

The construction, operation, 

maintenance, and connection of each of 

the international transmission facilities 

to be utilized by DC Energy has 

previously been authorized by a 

Presidential permit issued pursuant to 

Executive Order 10485, as amended. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings or to be heard by filing 

comments or protests to this application

Building, 950 F Street, NW.,

impacts have been evaluated pursuant 

to the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969, and a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not adversely impact on the
