Because of delays in handling conventional mail, it is recommended that documents be transmitted by overnight mail, by electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@ hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586– 8008. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 7151(b) and 7172(f)).

That authority expires on September 4, 2018. On February 28, 2018, RBC filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA–342–A for an additional five-year term.

more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity, Mail

mail, it is recommended that documents be transmitted by overnight 
mail, by electronic mail to [email protected], or by 
facsimile to 202-586-8008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, 
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy 
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. Sec.  7151(b) and 7172(f)). Such 
exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power 
Act (16 U.S.C. Sec.  824a(e)).
    On September 10, 2013, DOE issued Order No. EA-342-A to RBC, which 
authorized the Applicant to transmit electric energy from the United 
States to Canada, effective September 4, 2013, as a power marketer for 
a five-year term using existing international transmission facilities. 
That authority expires on September 4, 2018. On February 28, 2018, RBC 
filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority 
contained in Order No. EA-342-A for an additional five-year term.
    RBC's application states that ``[n]either RBC nor any of its 
affiliates (collectively, the `RBC Companies') owns, operates or 
controls any electric power transmission or distribution facilities in 
the United States,'' and that ``[t]he RBC Companies also do not own, 
operate or control any electric generation assets.'' Further, 
``[n]either RBC nor any of its affiliates holds a franchise or service 
territory for the transmission, distribution or sale of electric 
power.'' The electric energy that RBC proposes to export to Canada 
would be surplus energy purchased from third parties such as electric 
utilities and Federal power marketing agencies pursuant to voluntary 
agreements. The existing international transmission facilities to be 
utilized by RBC 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 Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become 
a party to this proceeding should file a motion to intervene at the 
above address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214). Five 
(5) 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 and other filings concerning RBC's application to export 
electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-342-B. An additional copy is to be provided directly to both Chantal 
Marchese, Royal Bank of Canada, 200 Bay Street, 10th Floor, North 
Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2J5, and Marcus Chun, RBC Capital 
Markets, 200 Bay Street, 9th Floor, South Tower, Toronto, Ontario, 
Canada M5J 2J2.
    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 DOE determines that the proposed action will not have an adverse 
impact on the sufficiency of supply or 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
