Title of Collection: Impact Aid 

Discretionary Construction Grant 

Program (1894–0001). 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0657. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 360. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Abstract: The Impact Aid Program, 

authorized by Title VIII of the 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

Act, as amended, provides financial 

assistance to Local Educational 

Agencies (LEA) whose enrollment or 

revenues are adversely affected by 

Federal activities. The ESEA, as 

amended, authorized a Discretionary 

Construction Grant program under 

Section 8007(b). The Impact Aid 

Discretionary Construction Program 

provides grants to eligible Impact Aid 

school districts for emergency repairs 

and modernization of school facilitates. 

The eligible Impact Aid school districts 

have a limited ability to raise revenues 

for capital improvements because they 

have large areas of Federal land within 

their boundaries. As a result, these 

districts find it difficult to respond 

when their school facilities are in need 

of emergency repairs or modernization; 

the Impact Aid Discretionary 

Construction Program assists these 

LEAs.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

[OE Docket No. EA–97–D] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Portland General Electric Company 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Application. 

SUMMARY: Portland General Electric 

Company (PGE) has applied to renew its 

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 June 30, 2014. 

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 June 25, 2004, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–97–C, which authorized PGE to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as a power marketer for 

a 10-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

That authority expires on June 25, 2014. 

On May 09, 2014, PGE filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of the 

export authority contained in Order No. 

EA–97–C for an additional 10-year term. 

PGE is also requesting expedited 

treatment of this renewal application 

and issuance of an Order within 45 days 

to avoid any lapse in PGE’s authority to 

export electricity to Canada. 

In its application, PGE owns electric 

generating, transmission, and 

distribution facilities for service to 

wholesale and retail customers. The 

electric energy that PGE proposes to 

export to Canada would not occur if 

such action would jeopardize PGE’s 

system or the regional system. The 

existing international transmission 

facilities to be utilized by PGE 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)

should file a motion to intervene at the 

above address in accordance with FERC

of such comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene should be sent to the 

address provided above on or before the

Comments on the PGE application to 

export electric energy to Canada should

EA–97–D. An additional copy is to be

Management—Power Operations, 

Portland General Electric Company, 121 

SW. Salmon Street, 3 WTC 0306,

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 sufficiency of 

supply or reliability of the U.S. electric 

power supply system.
