certain waste from reprocessing of spent
nuclear fuel is not high-level waste if
the provisions set forth in Section
3116(a) are satisfied. To make the
determination for the FTF, the Secretary
of Energy determined that the waste in
the FTF: (1) Does not require permanent
isolation in a deep geologic repository
for spent fuel or high-level radioactive
waste; (2) has had highly radioactive
radionuclides removed to the maximum
extent practical; and (3)(A) does not
exceed concentration limits for Class C
low-level waste and will be disposed of
in compliance with the performance

SUMMARY: WSPP Inc. (WSPP) has applied, on behalf of ten of its members,
to renew the authority of those members to transmit electric energy

United States to Canada.
DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on
or before April 19, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Lawrence (Program Office)
at 202-586-5260, or by email to Christopher.Lawrence@hq.doe.gov.
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 September 5, 1996, DOE authorized 42 members of the WSPP to
export electric energy to Canada (Order No. EA-98-C). Over time, the
specific members authorized to export has changed through the addition
or deletion of various members in several subsequent proceedings in the
EA-98 docket. Current Order No. EA-98-L was issued on May 6, 2009, and
authorizes 13 WSPP member companies individually to transmit electric
energy to Canada. That Order will expire on April 25, 2012.
The international transmission facilities authorized for use by
those exporters are owned by the Bonneville Power Administration, also
a WSPP member. The facilities consist of two 500-kV transmission lines
and one 230-kV transmission line that interconnect with facilities of
British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, and one 230-kV transmission
line that interconnects with West Kootenay Power, Limited. The
construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of these
international transmission facilities was previously authorized by
Presidential Permits PP-10, PP-46, and PP-36, respectively.
WSPP filed an application with DOE on February 24, 2012, which was
subsequently amended, on behalf of the following member companies for
renewal of their export authority contained in Order No. EA-98-L:
Avista Corporation, Edison Mission Marketing and Trading, Inc., Idaho
Power Company, Northern States Power Company, PacifiCorp, Portland
General Electric Company, Powerex Corporation, Public Service Company
of Colorado, Puget Sound Energy, and TransCanada Energy Sales Ltd. The
application, as amended, also requested new export authority for the
following two members: BP Energy Company and Twin Eagle Resource
Management, LLC.
WSPP also requested that DOE expedite the processing of its
application in order to avoid any lapse in the export authority for
some of its members. Accordingly, DOE has shortened the public comment
period to 15 days.
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 (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 on the WSPP application to export electric energy to
Canada should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. EA-98-M. An
additional copy is to be filed directly with Arnold B. Podgorsky,
General Counsel to WSPP and Patrick L. Morand, Associate, Wright &
Talisman, P.C., 1200 G Street NW., Suite 600, Washington, DC 20005-
3802. 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 reliability of the U.S. electric power
supply system.
