recommended that documents be
transmitted by overnight mail, by
electronic mail to Electricity.Exports@
hq.doe.gov, or by facsimile to 202–586–

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

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) and
require authorization under section
202(e) of the Federal Power Act (16

On June 25, 2018, DOE received an
application from the Applicant for
authorization to transmit electric energy
from the United States to Canada as a
power marketer for a five-year term
using existing international
transmission facilities.
In its application, the Applicant states
that it ‘‘does not own or control electric
generation facilities or transmission
facilities and that it has no ‘‘obligation
to serve native load within a franchised
service area.’’ The electric energy that
the Applicant proposes to export to
Canada would be surplus energy
purchased from third parties such as
electric utilities and other suppliers
within the United States pursuant to
voluntary agreements. The existing
international transmission facilities to
be utilized by the Applicant 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
