[OE Docket No. EA–324–B] 

Application to Export Electric Energy; 

Emera Energy Services Subsidiary No. 

4 LLC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, 

Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Application. 

SUMMARY: Emera Energy Services 

Subsidiary No. 4 LLC (Applicant or 

EESS–4) has applied to renew its 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada 

pursuant to the Federal Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before July 20, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

to: Office of Electricity, 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: The 

Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 

exports of electricity from the United 

States to a foreign country, pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)). Such 

exports require authorization under 

section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act 

(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On October 2, 2013, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–324–A to EESS–4, which 

authorized the Applicant to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada, effective October 1, 2013, as a 

power marketer for a five-year term 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. That authority 

expires on October 1, 2018. On February 

22, 2018, EESS–4 filed an application 

with DOE for renewal of the export 

authority contained in Order No. EA– 

324 for an additional five-year term. 

In its application, EESS–4 states that 

it neither owns nor controls any electric 

generation or transmission facilities, 

and that it has no franchised electric 

power service area. The electric energy 

that EESS–4 proposes to export to 

Canada would be surplus energy 

purchased from third parties such as 

electric utilities and Federal power 

marketing agencies pursuant to 

voluntary agreements. The existing 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by EESS–4 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 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) 

Rules of Practice and Procedures (18

become a party to these proceedings 

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC 

Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five (5) 

copies of such comments, protests, or 

motions to intervene should be sent to 

the address provided above on or before 

the date listed above.
