SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 

exports of electricity from the United 

States to a foreign country, pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 

7172(f)). Such exports require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 

824a(e)). 

On March 30, 2022, DTE Energy 

Trading filed an application with DOE 

(Application or App.) to ‘‘transmit and 

export electricity from the United States 

to Canada . . . for a period of ten years 

or such period as the Department may 

authorize for similarly situated power 

marketers.’’ App. at 1. DTE Energy 

Trading states that it ‘‘is a corporation 

organized under the laws of Michigan 

with its principal place of business in 

Detroit, Michigan.’’ Id. at 2. DTE Energy 

Trading adds that it ‘‘is a wholly-owned 

affiliate of DTE Energy Resources, LLC 

d/b/a DTE Vantage, which is whollyowned by DTE Energy Company.’’ Id. 

DTE Energy Trading represents that it 

‘‘does not own or control electric 

generation or transmission facilities and 

does not have a franchised electric 

power area within the U.S. or Canada.’’ 

Id. 

DTE Energy Trading further claims 

that it would ‘‘purchase the power it 

plans to export voluntarily from electric 

utilities, wholesale generators, power 

marketers and other parties and thus 

such power will be surplus to the needs 

of the selling parties.’’ App. at 4–5. DTE 

Energy Trading contends that its 

proposed exports would ‘‘not impair or 

tend to impede the sufficiency of 

electric power supplies in the United 

States or the regional coordination of 

electric utility planning or operation.’’ 

Id. at 5. 

The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

the Applicant have previously been

Commission 

[Docket No. CP22–42–000] 

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice 

of Schedule for the Preparation of an 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Ogden to Ventura A-Line 

Abandonment and Capacity 

Replacement Project 

On January 21, 2022, Northern 

Natural Gas Company (Northern) filed 

an application in Docket No. CP22–42– 

000 requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas 

Act to construct, operate, and abandon 

certain natural gas pipeline facilities. 

The proposed project is known as the 

Ogden To Ventura A-Line 

Abandonment and Capacity 

Replacement Project (Project). Northern 

proposes to abandon in-place two 

segments of its A-line system, totaling 

82.7 miles, in Boone, Webster, Wright, 

and Hancock Counties, Iowa and 

replace the abandoned capacity by 

extending the D-line in Wright County, 

Iowa. Northern states the Project would 

not result in a loss of service to its 

customers and would have no impact on 

Northern’s ability to serve markets on its 

system. 

On February 4, 2022, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice 

of Application for the Project. Among 

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s environmental 

document for the Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA July 15, 2022. 

90-day Federal Authorization 

Decision Deadline 2 October 13, 2022. 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary, additional notice will be 

provided so that the relevant agencies 

are kept informed of the Project’s 

progress. 

Project Description 

Northern proposes to abandon inplace 82.7 miles of 20-inch-diameter 

pipeline and appurtenances on its 

IAM60601 A-line system (referred to as 

the A-Line) from Ogden to Ventura, 

Iowa. Ground disturbances would be 

required at three locations to expose and 

to cut and cap the pipeline prior to 

abandonment. Additionally, Northern 

proposes to install temporary 

compression at three mainline valve 

locations to allow for the evacuation of
