DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

[OE Docket No. EA-211-D]


Application To Export Electric Energy; DTE Energy Trading, Inc.

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

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

SUMMARY: DTE Energy Trading, Inc. (Applicant or DTE Energy Trading) 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 May 5, 2017.

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 July 13, 2012, DOE issued Order No. EA-211-C to DTE Energy 
Trading, 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

[[Page 16580]]

international transmission facilities. That authority expires on July 
13, 2017. On March 13, 2017, DTE Energy Trading filed an application 
with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-
211 for an additional five-year term.
    In its application, DTE Energy Trading 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 DTE 
Energy Trading 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 TPS 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 DTE Energy Trading's 
application to export electric energy to Canada should be clearly 
marked with OE Docket No. EA-211-D. An additional copy is to be 
provided directly to both Cynthia Klots, DTE Energy Trading, Inc., 414 
S. Main Street, Suite 200, Ann Arbor, MI 48104 and Jane E. Rueger, 
White & Case LLP, 701 13th St. NW., Washington, DC 20005.
    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].
