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

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
interim final rule on November 12,
2008, setting forth the basic applicant
eligibility and project eligibility
requirements for both the grant and the
loan program. 73 FR 66729 (November
12, 2008). At present, Congress has
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.

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

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.
