Application for Renewal of Authorization To Export Electric Energy; Emera Energy Services Subsidiary No. 1 LLC, 29659-29660 [2023-09726]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 88 / Monday, May 8, 2023 / Notices ECLS–K:2024 was approved on April 7, 2023 (OMB# 1850–0750 v.26). The ECLS–K:2024 fall kindergarten data collection will be conducted from August until December 2023, followed by the spring (March–July 2024) kindergarten round, and the spring (March–July 2025) first-grade round. Each of these rounds of data collection will involve advance school contacts, for example to conduct student sampling activities, collect teacher and school information, and locate families whose children may have moved schools. Future OMB packages will be submitted for the third-and fifth-grade field test (to be conducted in March– July 2026), as well as for the national spring (March–July 2027) third-grade round and the spring (March–July 2029) fifth-grade round. This current revision request (accompanied by 30 days of public comment) is to update study respondent materials, web and paper surveys, and website designs that will be used in the kindergarten and first-grade data collection activities. Many of the revisions in this package were made based on analyses of the fall 2022 field test data (OMB #1850–0750 v.25), which informed changes to the design of the surveys and child assessment. Other changes occurred after further discussion on operational procedures. Revisions to the study instruments (and to some extent, the respondent materials and websites) are largely limited to changes to the fall kindergarten materials; additional revision requests will be submitted to OMB for revisions to the spring kindergarten and spring first-grade materials once additional analyses of the fall 2022 field test data are complete. National data collection work completed to date will also inform these future revisions. The requested changes do not affect the approved total cost to the federal government for conducting this study. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Dated: May 3, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christina Gomer, (240) 474–2403, electricity.exports@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE) regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority, previously exercised by the nowdefunct Federal Power Commission, to DOE. Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that export. (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On June 13, 2022, the authority to issue such orders was delegated to the DOE’s Grid Deployment Office (GDO) under Delegation Order No. S1– DEL–S3–2022–2 and Redelegation Order No. S3–DEL–GD1–2022. On April 19, 2007, DOE issued Order No. EA–321, authorizing EESS–1 to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer. This authority was renewed on October 2, 2013 (Order No. EA–321–A) and on September 18, 2018 (Order No. EA–321– B). On March 15, 2023, EESS–1 filed an application with DOE (Application or App) for renewal of their export authority for an additional five-year term. App at 1. In its Application, EESS–1 states that it ‘‘does not own or control any electric power generation or transmission SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29659 facilities and does not have a franchised electric power service area. EESS–1 operates as a marketing company involved in, among other things, the purchase and sale of electricity in the United States as a power marketer.’’ App at 5. EESS–1 represents that it ‘‘will purchase surplus electric energy from electric utilities and other suppliers within the United States and will export this energy to Canada over the international electric transmission facilities.’’ App at 6. Therefore, the Applicant contends that ‘‘because this electric energy will be purchased from others voluntarily, it will be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. EESS– 1’s export of power will not impair the sufficiency of electric power supply in the U.S.’’ Id. The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are appropriate for open access transmission by third parties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States Department of Energy (DOE) 
regulates electricity exports from the United States to foreign 
countries in accordance with section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act 
(FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)) and regulations thereunder (10 CFR 205.300 et 
seq.). Sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the DOE Organization Act (42 
U.S.C. 7151(b) and 7172(f)) transferred this regulatory authority, 
previously exercised by the now-defunct Federal Power Commission, to 
DOE.
    Section 202(e) of the FPA provides that an entity which seeks to 
export electricity must obtain an order from DOE authorizing that 
export. (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). On June 13, 2022, the authority to issue 
such orders was delegated to the DOE's Grid Deployment Office (GDO) 
under Delegation Order No. S1-DEL-S3-2022-2 and Redelegation Order No. 
S3-DEL-GD1-2022.
    On April 19, 2007, DOE issued Order No. EA-321, authorizing EESS-1 
to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power 
marketer. This authority was renewed on October 2, 2013 (Order No. EA-
321-A) and on September 18, 2018 (Order No. EA-321-B). On March 15, 
2023, EESS-1 filed an application with DOE (Application or App) for 
renewal of their export authority for an additional five-year term. App 
at 1.
    In its Application, EESS-1 states that it ``does not own or control 
any electric power generation or transmission facilities and does not 
have a franchised electric power service area. EESS-1 operates as a 
marketing company involved in, among other things, the purchase and 
sale of electricity in the United States as a power marketer.'' App at 
5. EESS-1 represents that it ``will purchase surplus electric energy 
from electric utilities and other suppliers within the United States 
and will export this energy to Canada over the international electric 
transmission facilities.'' App at 6. Therefore, the Applicant contends 
that ``because this electric energy will be purchased from others 
voluntarily, it will be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. 
EESS-1's export of power will not impair the sufficiency of electric 
power supply in the U.S.'' Id.
    The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized 
by the Applicant have been previously authorized by Presidential 
permits issued pursuant to Executive Order 10485, as amended, and are 
appropriate for open access transmission by third parties. See App at 
Exhibit C.
    Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to be heard in this 
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at the 
email address provided previously. Protests should be filed in 
accordance with Rule 211 of FERC's 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 previously provided email 
address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214).
    Comments and other filings concerning EESS-1's Application should 
be clearly marked with GDO Docket No. EA-321-C. Additional copies are 
to be provided directly to Keith Sutherland, Vice President, Legal & 
Regulatory Affairs--Emera Energy, 5151 Terminal Road, Halifax, NS B3J 
1A1 Canada, [email protected] and Bonnie A. Suchman, 
Suchman Law LLC, 8104 Paisley Place, Potomac, Maryland 20854, 
[email protected].
    A final decision will be made on the requested authorization after 
the environmental impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's 
National Environmental Policy Act Implementing Procedures (10 CFR part 
1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an 
adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the 
United States electric power supply system.
