[OE Docket No. EA-365-A]


Application To Export Electric Energy; Centre Lane Trading 
Limited

AGENCY: Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, DOE.

ACTION: Notice of application.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Centre Lane Trading Limited (Applicant or CLT) has applied to 
renew its authority to transmit electric energy from the United States 
to Canada pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on 
or before June 25, 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 
be transmitted by overnight mail, by electronic mail to 
[email protected], or by facsimile to 202-586-8008.

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 June 9, 2010, DOE issued Order No. EA-365 to CLT, which 
authorized the Applicant to transmit electric energy from the United 
States to Canada as a power marketer for a five-year term using 
existing international transmission facilities. That authority expires 
on June 9, 2015. On April 22, 2015, CLT filed an application with DOE 
for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-365 for 
an additional five-year term.
    In its application, CLT states that it does not own or operate any 
electric generation or transmission facilities, and it does not have a 
franchised service area. The electric energy that CLT 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 CLT 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. The Applicant is also requesting expedited treatment of 
this renewal application and issuance of an Order as early as the 
Department may deem fit to avoid any lapse in CLT's authority to export 
electricity to Canada.
    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 CLT's application to export 
electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE Docket No. 
EA-365-A. An additional copy is to be provided directly to Jason 
Brandt, Centre Lane Trading Limited, 199 Bay Street, Suite 4500, 
Toronto, Ontario M5L 1G2 Canada.
    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 
accessing the program Web site at http://energy.gov/node/11845, or by 
emailing Angela Troy at [email protected].

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 19, 2015.

Electricity Policy Analyst, Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy 
Reliability.
