Inc. 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of Application. 

SUMMARY: Emera Energy U.S. Subsidiary 

No. 1, Inc. (EE US No. 1) 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.

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before April 4, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

motions to intervene should be 

addressed to: Lamont Jackson, 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

Lamont.Jackson@hq.doe.gov. 

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 March 26, 2009, DOE issued Order 

No. EA–287–A, which authorized EE US 

No. 1 to transmit electric energy from 

the United States to Canada as a power 

marketer for a five-year term using 

existing international transmission 

facilities. That authority expires on 

April 19, 2014. On February 25, 2014, 

EE US No. 1 filed an application with 

DOE for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–287–A for 

an additional five-year term. EE US No. 

1 is requesting that the notice of this 

filing be published in the Federal 

Register as soon as possible; that the 

period for the submission of comments 

be shortened; and that the Department 

issue an order in an expedited manner. 

Further, EE US No. 1 requests that the 

existing Export Authorization be 

extended beyond the expiration date, to 

remain in effect until the date DOE acts 

on this application. 

In its application, EE US No. 1 states 

that it does not own any electric 

generating or transmission facilities, and 

it does not have a franchised service 

area. The electric energy that EE US No. 

1 proposes to export to Canada would 

be surplus energy purchased from 

electric utilities, Federal power 

marketing agencies, and other entities 

within the United States and/or Canada. 

The existing international transmission 

facilities to be utilized by EE US No. 1 

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) 

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 (18 CFR 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 EE US No. 1 

application to export electric energy to 

Canada should be clearly marked with 

OE Docket No. EA–287–B. An 

additional copy is to be provided

Environmental Policy Act Implementing 

Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) and after
