pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal

Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests or requests

to intervene must be submitted on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of

electricity from the United States to a

foreign country are regulated and

require authorization under section

202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA)

(16 U.S.C. § 824a(e)).

On October 9, 1997, the Office of

Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of

Energy (DOE) received a joint

application for authorization to export

electric energy to Canada, pursuant to

section 202(e) of the FPA, from

Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company

(CG&E) and PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI). A

single application for these two entities

was submitted because the two

companies collectively are the ‘‘Cinergy

Operating Companies.’’ However, each

company will require a separate export

authorization. By letter, on October 14,

1997, the applicants clarified their

request and ask that each be issued an

export authorization.

Each company is a regulated public

utility. CG&E, an Ohio corporation, and

PSI, an Indiana corporation, each

propose to sell electric energy to Canada

that is either excess to its system or

purchased from electric utilities or other

suppliers within the U.S.

The applicants would arrange for the

exported energy to be transmitted to

Canada over the international facilities

owned by Basin Electric, Bonneville

Power Administration, Citizens

Utilities, Detroit Edison Company,

Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative,

Joint Owners of the Highgate Project,

Maine Electric Power Company, Maine

Public Service Company, Minnesota

Power and Light Company, Minnkota

Power Cooperative, New York Power

Authority, Niagara Mohawk Power

Corporation, Northern States Power, and

Vermont Electric Transmission

Company. Each of the transmission

facilities, as more fully described in the

joint application, has previously been

authorized by a Presidential permit

issued pursuant to Executive Order

10485, as amended.

Procedural Matters

Any persons desiring to become a

party to these proceedings or to be heard

by filing comments or protests to these

applications should file a petition to

(18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen

should be filed with the DOE on or

before the date listed above. Comments

on Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company’s

request to export to Canada should be

clearly marked with Docket EA–159.

Comments of PSI’s request to export to

Canada should be clearly marked with

Nancy D. Baird, Skadden, Arps, Slate,

A final decision will be made on these

applications after the environmental

impacts have been evaluated pursuant

to the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA), and a

determination is made by the DOE that

the proposed actions will not adversely

impact on the reliability of the U.S.

electric power supply system.

made available, upon request, for public

inspection and copying at the address

provided above.
