DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[FE Docket No. EA–114]

Application to Export Electricity

MidCon Power Services Corp.

AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

SUMMARY: MidCon Power Services Corp.

(MPS) has requested authorization to

export electric energy to Canada. MPS is

a marketer of electric energy. It does not

own or control any electric generation

or transmission facilities.

DATES: Comments, protests, or requests

to intervene must be submitted on or

before July 5, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or

requests to intervene should be

addressed as follows: Office of Coal &

Electricity (FE–52), Office of Fuels

Programs, Fossil Energy, U.S.

Department of Energy, 1000

Independence Avenue, S.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20585–0350.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

William H. Freeman (Program Office)

202–586- 5883 or Michael T. Skinker

(Program Attorney) 202–586–6667.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of

electricity from the United States to a

foreign country are regulated and

require authorization under section

202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA)

(16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).

On May 21, 1996, MPS filed an

application with the Office of Fossil

Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy

(DOE) for authorization to export

electric energy to Canada pursuant to

section 202(e) of the FPA. MPS neither

owns nor controls any facilities for the

transmission or distribution of

electricity, nor does it have a franchised

retail service area. Rather, MPS is a

power marketer authorized by the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(FERC) to engage in the wholesale sale

of electricity in interstate commerce at

negotiated rates pursuant to its filed rate

schedules.

In its application, MPS proposes to

sell electric energy to Canada. The

electric energy MPS proposes to

transmit to Canada would be purchased

from electric utilities and other

generators. MPS asserts that such energy

would be surplus to the requirements of

the selling utility or generator. MPS

would arrange for the exported energy

to be wheeled from the selling entities,

over existing domestic transmission

facilities, and delivered to the foreign

purchaser over one or more of the

following international transmission

lines for which Presidential permits (PP)

have been previously issued: New York

Power Authority’s (NYPA) 230-kilovolt

(kV), lines at Massena, New York (PP–

25), and Devil’s Hole, New York (PP–

30); NYPA 765 kV line at Fort

Covington, New York (PP–56); the

NYPA 345-kV lines at Niagara Falls,

New York (PP–74); Niagara Mohawk

Power Corporation’s (NIMO) 4.8-kV

Hogansburg, New York line (PP–13);

and NIMO’s 13.2-kV line at Covington,

New York, 230-kV(3 Phase) and 2–69-

kV lines at Devil’s Hole, New York, 38-

kV Buffalo, New York lines, 69-kV lines

at Queenstown, New York, and 12-kV(3/

cables) Rainbow Br., New York lines

(PP–31).

Any determination by the DOE to

grant the request by MPS for export

authorization will be conditioned to

require MPS to comply with all

reliability criteria, standards, and

guidelines of the North American

Electric Reliability Council and

Regional Councils.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS: Any persons

desiring to be heard or to protest this

application should file a petition to

intervene or protest at the address

provided above in accordance with

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the rules of

practice and procedure (18 CFR

385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of

such petitions and protests should be

filed with the DOE on or before the date

listed above. Additional copies are to be

filed directly with: Mr. Dennis Lawler,

Vice President, MidCon Power Services

Corp., 701 East 22nd Street, Lombard,

Illinois 60148 AND Mr. Peter Y. Connor,

Esq., 801 15th Street, Wilmette, Illinois

60091.

A final decision will be made on this

application after the environmental

impacts have been evaluated pursuant

to the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA), and a

determination is made by the DOE that

the proposed action will not adversely

impact on the reliability of the U.S.

electric power supply system.

Copies of this application will be

made available, upon request, for public

inspection and copying at the address

provided above.
