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 August 21, 1998, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–185 authorizing MSGC to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as a power marketer 

using existing international electric 

transmission facilities for two years. On 

August 14, 2000, DOE issued Order No. 

EA–185–A, which renewed MSCG’s 

authority for a five-year period. On 

August 19, 2005, DOE issued Order No. 

EA–185–B, authorizing MSCG’s 

authority for an additional five-year 

period, which expires on August 21, 

2010. On February 17, 2010, MSCG filed 

an application with DOE to renew the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–185–B for an additional five-year 

period. 

The electric energy that MSCG 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

MSCG 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

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR

[Project No. 13317–000] 

Bishop Paiute Tribe; Notice of 

Competing Preliminary Permit 

Application Accepted for Filing and 

Soliting Comments and Motions To 

Intervene 

April 21, 2010. 

On November 3, 2008, the Bishop 

Paiute Tribe filed an application for a 

preliminary permit, pursuant to section 

4(f) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 

proposing to study the feasibility of the 

Bishop Paiute Hydroelectric Project to 

be located on a new penstock between 

the base of a mine and Morgan Creek in 

Inyo County, California. The proposed 

project would be located within the 

Inyo National Forest on lands of the 

U.S. Forest Service. The sole purpose of 

a preliminary permit, if issued, is to 

grant the permit holder priority to file 

a license application during the permit 

term. A preliminary permit does not 

authorize the permit holder to perform 

any land-disturbing activities or 

otherwise enter upon lands or waters 

owned by others without the owners’ 

express permission.
