4262 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 17 / Tuesday, January 27, 2015 / Notices 

proposed collection will support a study 

on how consumers value vehicle fuel 

economy, compare the current results 

with those from a similar study 

conducted in 2003 (published in 2007), 

and estimate distributions of these 

valuation processes across the national 

population of car-owning and carleasing households. The data derived 

from this study will be used to provide 

consumers with information that will 

help them value increased fuel economy 

as a means of reducing petroleum 

consumption, saving money on fuel, 

and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

collection must be received on or before 

February 26, 2015. If you anticipate that 

you will be submitting comments, but 

find it difficult to do so within the 

period of time allowed by this notice, 

please advise the DOE Desk Officer at 

OMB of your intention to make a 

submission as soon as possible. The 

Desk Officer may be telephoned at 202– 

395–4718. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the DOE Desk Officer, Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, New

(1) OMB No. New; (2) Information 

Collection Request Title: Consumers and 

Fuel Economy; (3) Type of Request: New 

Collection; (4) Purpose: The Consumers 

and Fuel Economy Study is a follow-on 

study of consumers’ valuation of 

automotive fuel economy conducted in 

2003. The purpose is to provide both a 

qualitative description based on inhome interviews and a quantitative 

estimate based on a national sample 

survey of the prevalence of consumers’ 

fuel economy valuations across the 

population of car-owning households in 

the United States. The goals include the 

description of similarities and 

differences from the 2003 study and the 

further development of theory, models, 

or heuristics to explain consumers’ 

valuations of fuel economy. This 

information will be made available to 

the general public via the joint DOE and 

Environmental Protection Agency Web 

site www.fueleconomy.gov; (5) Annual 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 54

[OE Docket No. EA–404] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Chubu TT Energy Management Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Chubu TT Energy 

Management Inc. (Chubu TT) has 

applied for authority to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal 

Power Act. 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before February 26, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

to: 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 

electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586– 

8008. 

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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On January 12, 2015, DOE received an 

application from Chubu TT for authority 

to transmit electric energy from the 

United States to Canada for five years 

using existing international 

transmission facilities. Chubu TT is in 

the process of becoming a licensed 

competitive electricity provider in 

Ontario, Canada. Chubu TT is also in 

the process of applying for market-based 

rate authority from the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (‘‘FERC’’) in 

order to trade and market electricity in 

the United States. Chubu TT states that 

it will make all of the necessary 

commercial arrangements and will 

obtain any and all of the required 

regulatory approvals in order to effect 

any power exports. 

The electric energy that Chubu TT 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

Chubu TT 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.

application at the address provided 

above. Protests should be filed in 

accordance with Rule 211 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC)
