[OE Docket No. EA-210-E]


Application To Export Electric Energy; Talen Energy Marketing, 
LLC

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

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

SUMMARY: Talen Energy Marketing, LLC (Applicant or Talen Energy) has 
applied to renew its authority to transmit electric energy from the 
United States to Canada pursuant to the Federal Power Act.

DATES: Comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be submitted on 
or before July 26, 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 August 18, 2012, DOE issued Order No. EA-210-C to PPL Energy 
Plus, LLC, 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. On October 
16, 2015, PPL Energy Plus, LLC changed its name to Talen Energy 
Marketing, LLC in Order No. EA-210-D. That authority expires on August 
18, 2017. On May 5, 2017, Talen Energy filed an application with DOE 
for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-210 for 
an additional five-year term.
    In its application, Talen Energy 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 Talen 
Energy 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 Talen 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)

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 Talen Energy's application to 
export electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE

Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20001 and Debra L. Raggio, Talen Energy 
Corporation, 117 Oronoco Street, Alexandria, VA 22302.
    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.
