Section 136 of the Energy

2007, Public Law 110–140, authorizes 

the Secretary of Energy (‘‘Secretary’’) to 

make grants and direct loans to eligible 

applicants for projects that reequip, 

expand, or establish manufacturing 

facilities in the United States to produce 

qualified advanced technology vehicles, 

or qualifying components and also for 

engineering integration costs associated 

with such projects. 

Section 129(a) of the Consolidated 

Security Disaster Assistance and 

Continuing Appropriations Act of 2009, 

(Pub. L. 110–329; ‘‘Continuing 

Resolution, 2009’’) appropriated 

$7,510,000,000 for fiscal year 2009 for 

‘‘Advanced Technology Vehicle 

Manufacturing Incentive Program 

Account’’ for the cost of direct loans as 

authorized under section 136(d) of EISA 

and states that commitments for direct 

loans using such amount must not 

exceed $25,000,000,000 in total loan 

principle. Further, section 129(c) of the 

Continuing Resolution, 2009 made 

several substantive amendments to EISA 

section 136, including that, not later 

than 60 days after enactment of the 

Continuing Resolution, 2009, the 

Secretary will promulgate an interim 

final rule establishing regulations that 

the Secretary deems necessary to 

administer section 136 of EISA, as 

amended by the Continuing Resolution, 

2009. 

Pursuant to section 129 of the 

Continuing Resolution, 2009 and EISA 

section 136, DOE promulgated an

2008, setting forth the basic applicant 

eligibility and project eligibility 

requirements for both the grant and the 

loan program. 73 FR 66729 (November

appropriated funds through the 

Consolidated Security, Disaster 

Assistance, and Continuing 

Appropriations Act, 2009, for only the 

loan program. As such, DOE will be 

implementing the loan program only at 

this time.

Application to Export Electric Energy; 

NaturEner Tie Line, LLC 

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery 

and Energy Reliability, DOE. 

ACTION: Notice of application. 

SUMMARY: NaturEner Tie Line, LLC 

(NaturEner) has applied for 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 requests 

to intervene must be submitted on or 

before June 22, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, or 

requests to intervene should be 

addressed as follows: Office of

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202–586–

Attorney) 202–586–2793. 

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

On May 11, 2009, DOE received an 

application from NaturEner for 

authority to transmit electric energy 

from the United States to Canada. 

NaturEner is engaged in the marketing 

of electric power at wholesale from 

wind power generating stations located 

in the State of Montana. NaturEner does 

not own any electric transmission 

facilities nor does it hold a franchised 

service area. The electric energy which 

NaturEner proposes to export to Canada 

would be generated at wind powered 

generating stations (wind farms) located 

in the State of Montana and developed 

by an affiliate, NaturEner USA, LLC, a 

Delaware limited liability company. The 

electricity would be delivered to Canada 

using the international transmission 

facilities authorized by Presidential 

Permit No. PP–305, issued pursuant to 

Executive Order No. 10485, as amended, 

and currently under construction by the 

permit holder, Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. 

(MATL). NaturEner has acquired 

contractual rights to 300 MW of 

northbound transmission service on the 

MATL line and has requested an 

electricity export authorization with a 

20-year term, the expected operating life 

of the wind farms from which it will 

acquire electric energy, and the effective 

term of the Transmission Service 

Agreements. 

Procedural Matters: Any person 

desiring to become a party to these 

proceedings or to be heard by filing 

comments or protests to this application 

should file a petition to intervene, 

comment, or protest at the address 

provided above in accordance with 

§§ 385.211 or 385.214 of the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 

385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 

petition and protest should be filed with 

DOE on or before the date listed above. 

Comments on the NaturEner 

application to export electric energy to 

Canada should be clearly marked with 

Docket No. EA–352. Additional copies 

are to be filed directly with Nancy 

Murray, General Counsel, NaturEner Tie 

Line, LLC, 394 Pacific Avenue, Suite 

300, San Francisco, CA 94111 and James 

B. Vasile, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, 

1919 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Suite 

200, Washington, DC 20006. 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, and a determination is 

made by DOE that the proposed action 

will not adversely impact on the 

reliability of the U.S. electric power 

supply system.
