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–257–C, which authorized EES to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as a power marketer for 

a five-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities 

effective April 5, 2009. That authority 

expires on April 5, 2014. On February 

25, 2014, EES filed an application with 

DOE for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–257–C for an 

additional five-year term. EES 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, EES 

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, EES 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 EES 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 EES 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 EES application to 

export electric energy to Canada should 

be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 

EA–257–D. An additional copy is to be

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.
