franchised service area in the United
States.’’ Id. OPG clarifies that ‘‘OPGET,
a power marketing and trading entity
owned by OPG makes power sales
within the United States, and at the
international border with Canada
pursuant to its FERC market-based rate
authorization[, but] does not export
power from the United States to
Canada.’’ Id. at 2.
OPC further states that it ‘‘will
purchase the power to be exported from
a variety of sources such as power
marketers, independent power
producers or U.S. electric utilities and
Federal power marketing agencies as
those terms are defined in section 3(22)
and 3(19) of the FPA.’’ App. at 4. OPG
adds that ‘‘by definition, such power is
surplus to the system of the generator’’.
Id. OPG contends that ‘‘the electric
power that [it] will export to Canada
from these markets, on either a firm or
interruptible basis, will not impair the
sufficiency of the electric power supply
within the United States.’’ Id.
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.

Green Mountain Power Corporation;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment
On January 30, 2020, Green Mountain
Power Corporation filed an application
for a new major license to continue
operating the existing 7.5-megawatt
Bolton Falls Hydroelectric Project No.
2879 (Bolton Falls Project or project).
The project is located on the Winooski
River in Washington County, Vermont.
The project does not occupy federal
land.
In accordance with the Commission’s
regulations, on December 1, 2020,
Commission staff issued a notice that
the project was ready for environmental
analysis (REA notice). Based on the
information in the record, including
comments filed on the REA notice, staff
does not anticipate that licensing the
project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment. Therefore,
staff intends to prepare a draft and final
Environmental Assessment (EA) on the
application to license the Bolton Falls
Project.
The EA will be issued and circulated
for review by all interested parties. All
comments filed on the EA will be
analyzed by staff and considered in the
Commission’s final licensing decision.
The application will be processed
according to the following schedule.
Revisions to the schedule may be made
as appropriate.

staff may file a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the time
allowed or if a protest is filed and then

authorization will be considered by the
Commission.
Protests must comply with the
requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission’s
regulations,4 and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is March 5,
2021. A protest may also serve as a
motion to intervene so long as the
protestor states it also seeks to be an
intervenor.
Interventions
Any person has the option to file a
motion to intervene in this proceeding.
Only intervenors have the right to
request rehearing of Commission orders
issued in this proceeding and to
subsequently challenge the
Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit

for the project, which is March 5, 2021.
As described further in Rule 214, your
motion to intervene must state, to the
extent known, your position regarding
the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual,
this could include your status as a

directly impacted by the project in order
to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the
FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/
resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.
All timely, unopposed 7 motions to
intervene are automatically granted by

intervene that are filed after the
intervention deadline are untimely and
may be denied. Any late-filed motion to
intervene must show good cause for
being late and must explain why the

Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments

serve to make the filer a party to the
