Application To Export Electric Energy; 

WSPP Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Application. 

SUMMARY: WSPP Inc. (WSPP) has 

applied, on behalf of ten of its members, 

to renew the authority of those members 

to transmit electric energy from the 

United States to Canada, pursuant to 

section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act 

(FPA). The WSPP application also 

requested new export authority for two 

other members to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to 

Canada. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before April 19, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

motions to intervene should be 

addressed to: Christopher Lawrence, 

Office of Electricity Delivery and 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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Lawrence (Program Office) 

at 202–586–5260, or by email to 

Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov. 

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

On September 5, 1996, DOE 

authorized 42 members of the WSPP to 

export electric energy to Canada (Order 

No. EA–98–C). Over time, the specific 

members authorized to export has 

changed through the addition or 

deletion of various members in several 

subsequent proceedings in the EA–98 

docket. Current Order No. EA–98–L was 

issued on May 6, 2009, and authorizes 

13 WSPP member companies 

individually to transmit electric energy 

to Canada. That Order will expire on 

April 25, 2012. 

The international transmission 

facilities authorized for use by those 

exporters are owned by the Bonneville 

Power Administration, also a WSPP 

member. The facilities consist of two 

500-kV transmission lines and one 230- 

kV transmission line that interconnect 

with facilities of British Columbia 

Hydro and Power Authority, and one 

230-kV transmission line that 

interconnects with West Kootenay 

Power, Limited. The construction, 

operation, maintenance, and connection 

of these international transmission 

facilities was previously authorized by 

Presidential Permits PP–10, PP–46, and 

PP–36, respectively. 

WSPP filed an application with DOE 

on February 24, 2012, which was 

subsequently amended, on behalf of the 

following member companies for 

renewal of their export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–98–L: Avista 

Corporation, Edison Mission Marketing 

and Trading, Inc., Idaho Power 

Company, Northern States Power 

Company, PacifiCorp, Portland General 

Electric Company, Powerex 

Corporation, Public Service Company of 

Colorado, Puget Sound Energy, and 

TransCanada Energy Sales Ltd. The 

application, as amended, also requested 

new export authority for the following 

two members: BP Energy Company and 

Twin Eagle Resource Management, LLC. 

WSPP also requested that DOE 

expedite the processing of its 

application in order to avoid any lapse 

in the export authority for some of its 

members. Accordingly, DOE has 

shortened the public comment period to 

15 days. 

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 

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 

Rule 214 (385.214). Five copies of such 

comments, protests, or motions to 

intervene should be sent to the address 

provided above on or before the date 

listed above. 

Comments on the WSPP application 

to export electric energy to Canada 

should be clearly marked with OE 

Docket No. EA–98–M. An additional 

copy is to be filed directly with Arnold 

B. Podgorsky, General Counsel to WSPP 

and Patrick L. Morand, Associate,

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 

reliability of the U.S. electric power 

supply system.

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

On November 9, 2004 the Department 

of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA– 

296 authorizing Rainbow to transmit 

electric energy from the United States to 

Canada as a power marketer for a twoyear term. That Order expired on 

November 9, 2006. On September 17, 

2007, DOE issued Order No. EA–210–A 

to Rainbow for a five-year term. That 

Order will expire on September 17, 

2012. On March 13, 2012, Rainbow filed 

an application with DOE for renewal of 

the export authority contained in Order 

No. EA–296–A for an additional fiveyear term. 

Note: You need to start identifying more 

specifics about the applicant, such as the 

type of entity. 

In its application, Rainbow states that 

it ‘‘does not own or control any physical 

electric generation or transmission 

facilities in the U.S. and does not have 

any franchised service territory in the 

U.S.’’ Therefore, the electric power 

proposed to be exported to Canada will 

be surplus to the needs of the entities 

selling power to Rainbow. The 

application also indicates that Rainbow 

is a power marketer authorized by the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

to sell energy, capacity, and specified 

ancillary services at market-based rates. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Rainbow 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 

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 

Rule 214 (385.214). Five copies of such 

comments, protests, or motions to 

intervene should be sent to the address 

provided above on or before the date 

listed above. 

Comments on the Rainbow 

application to export electric energy to 

Canada should be clearly marked with 

OE Docket No. 296–B. An additional 

copy is to be filed directly with Joseph 

M. Wolfe, Rainbow Energy Marketing 

Corporation, Kirkwood Office Tower, 

919 South 7th Street, Suite 405, 

Bismarck, ND 58504. 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 reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system.

for spent fuel or high-level radioactive 

waste; (2) has had highly radioactive 

radionuclides removed to the maximum 

extent practical; and (3)(A) does not 

exceed concentration limits for Class C 

low-level waste and will be disposed of
