Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Emera Energy Services Subsidiaries 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Five power marketing 

subsidiaries of Emera Incorporated 

(Emera) have applied separately to 

renew its authority to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal 

Power Act (FPA). 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before June 25, 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

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 April 19, 2007, the Department of 

Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–321, 

EA–322, EA–323, EA–324 and EA–325, 

authorizing the Emera Subsidiaries to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as power marketers for 

a five-year term. The current export 

authorities in Order No EA–321, EA– 

322, EA–323, EA–324 and EA–325 

expired on April 19, 2012. On April 19, 

2012, Emera filed five separate 

applications with DOE for renewal of 

those authorities for an additional fiveyear term. 

In its application, Emera states that 

the subsidiaries do ‘‘not own or control 

any electric power generation or 

transmission facilities and does not 

have a franchised electric power service 

area.’’ Emera states that the electric 

power proposed to be exported to 

Canada will be purchased from electric 

utilities and federal power marketing 

agencies pursuant to voluntary 

agreements and will be surplus to the 

system needs of the entities selling the 

power to Emera. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Emera 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 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 Emera applications 

to export electric energy to Canada 

should be clearly marked with OE 

Docket No. 321–A, EA–322–A, EA–323– 

A, EA–324–A or EA–325–A. An

evaluated pursuant to DOE’s National 

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and if a
