electric energy from the United States to Canada pursuant to section 
202(e) of the Federal Power Act.

or before May 27, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity Delivery 
and Energy Reliability, Mail Code: OE-20, U.S. Department of Energy, 
1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585-0350. Because of 
delays in handling conventional mail, it is recommended that documents

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 Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
824a(e)).
    On April 3, 2015, DOE received an application from CWP Energy for 
authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada 
as a power marketer for five years using existing international 
transmission facilities.
    In its application, CWP Energy states that it does not own or 
control any electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does 
not have a franchised service area. The electric energy that CWP Energy 
proposes to export to Canada would be surplus energy purchased from 
third parties such as power marketers, independent power producers, 
electric utilities, and Federal power marketing agencies pursuant to 
voluntary agreements. The existing international transmission 
facilities to be utilized by CWP Energy 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 (18 CFR 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.
    Comments and other filings concerning the CWP Energy application to 
export electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE 
Docket No. EA-410. An additional copy is to be provided directly to 
both Ruta Kalvaitis Skucas, Pierce Atwood LLC, 900 17th St. NW., Suite 
350, Washington, DC 20006 and to Pascal Massey, CWP Energy, 407 McGill 
St., Suite 315, Montreal, PQ, H2Y 2G3.
    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 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
