**Application To Export Electric Energy; Emera Energy U.S. Subsidiary No. 1,**  **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.

**DATES :**  Comments, protests, or motions 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.

. **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.
