Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 164 / Monday, August 25, 2014 / Notices 50635 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: Castleton Commodities 

Merchant Trading LP (Castleton) 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 September 24, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, 

motions to intervene, or requests for 

more information should be addressed 

to: 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 Electricity.Exports@

hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586– 

8008. 

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 October 5, 2009, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–359 to Louis Dreyfus 

Energy Services LP, which authorized 

Louis Dreyfus Energy Services L.P. 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 October 5, 

2014. On May 20, 2013, DOE issued 

Order No. EA–359–A, which changed 

the name of Louis Dreyfus Energy 

Services LP to Castleton Commodities 

Merchant Trading LP. All other terms 

and conditions of Order No. EA–359 

remain unchanged. On August 12, 2014, 

Castleton filed an application with DOE 

for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–359–B for an 

additional five-year term. 

In its application, Castleton states that 

it does not own or operate any electric 

transmission facilities, and it does not 

have a franchised service area. The 

electric energy that Castleton proposes 

to export to Canada would be surplus 

energy purchased from third parties 

such as electric utilities and Federal 

power marketing agencies pursuant to 

voluntary agreements. The existing 

international transmission facilities to 

be utilized by the Applicant 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 and other filings 

concerning the Castleton application to 

export electric energy to Canada should 

be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 

EA–359–B. An additional copy is to be 

provided directly to Daniel E. Frank,

Washington, DC 20001 and Castleton 

Commodities Int’l LLC, Compliance 

Department, 811 Main Street, Suite 

3500, Houston, TX 77002. 

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 

sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 

U.S. electric power supply system.

energy. Our current infrastructure is 

increasingly challenged by 

transformations in energy supply, 

markets, and patterns of end use; issues 

of aging and capacity; impacts of 

climate change; and cyber and physical 

threats. Any vulnerability in this
