**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 June 24, 1999, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA–209, which authorized CPM to transmit electric energy from the United States toCanada as a power marketer for a twoyear term using existing international transmission facilities. DOE renewed the CPM export authorization two additional times: On July 3, 2001 in Order No. EA–209–A and on May 31, 2006 in Order No. EA–209–B. Order No. EA–209–B will expire on May 31, 2011. On February 14, 2011, CPM filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA–209–B for an additional five-year
term.

The electric energy that CPM 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 CPM 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.
