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 November 9, 2004 the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No.
EA-296 authorizing Rainbow to transmit electric energy from the United
States to Canada as a power marketer for a two-year term. That Order
expired on November 9, 2006. On September 17, 2007, DOE issued Order
No. EA-210-A to Rainbow for a five-year term. That Order will expire on
September 17, 2012. On March 13, 2012, Rainbow filed an application
with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-
296-A for an additional five-year term.
Note: You need to start identifying more specifics about the
applicant, such as the type of entity.
In its application, Rainbow states that it ``does not own or
control any physical electric generation or transmission facilities in
the U.S. and does not have any franchised service territory in the
U.S.'' Therefore, the electric power proposed to be exported to Canada
will be surplus to the needs of the entities selling power to Rainbow.
The application also indicates that Rainbow is a power marketer
authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to sell energy,
capacity, and specified ancillary services at market-based rates.
The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized
by Rainbow have previously been authorized by Presidential permits
issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties.
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.

Canada should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 296-B. An additional
copy is to be filed directly with Joseph M. Wolfe, Rainbow Energy
Marketing Corporation, Kirkwood Office Tower, 919 South 7th Street,
Suite 405, Bismarck, ND 58504. 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.
Copies of this application will be made available, upon request,
for public inspection and copying at the address provided above, by
accessing the program Web site at https://energy.gov/node/11845 or by
