[OE Docket No. EA–326–A] 

Application To Export Electric Energy; 

Citigroup Energy Canada ULC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Citigroup Energy Canada ULC 

(CECU) 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 (FPA). 

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before May 18, 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 

electronic mail to

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 May 17, 2007, the Department of 

Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–326 

authorizing CECU to transmit electric 

energy from the United States to Canada 

as a power marketer for a five-year term. 

The current export authority in Order 

No. EA–326 will expire on May 17, 

2012. On April 3, 2012, CECU filed an 

application with DOE for renewal of 

that authority for an additional ten-year 

term. 

In its application, CECU states that it 

‘‘does not currently own or control 

electric generation or transmission 

facilities in any wholesale market in 

interstate commerce or have a power 

supply system of its own on which its 

exports of electricity could have a 

reliability, fuel use, or system stability 

impact.’’ CECU 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 CECU. The application also 

indicates that CECU is a power marketer 

authorized by the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC) to sell 

energy, capacity, and specified ancillary 

services at market-based rates. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

CECU 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 CECU application 

to export electric energy to Canada 

should be clearly marked with OE 

Docket No. 326–A. An additional copy 

is to be filed directly with Victoria 

Sharp, Citigroup Energy Inc., 2800 Post

Van Ness Feldman, P.C., 1050 Thomas 

Jefferson St. NW., Seventh Floor, 

Washington, DC 20007. 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. 

Copies of this application will be
