    On September 20, 2012, DOE issued Order No. EA-296-B to Rainbow, 
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 September 18, 2017. On May 25, 2017, Rainbow filed an application 
with DOE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-
296 for an additional five-year term.
    In its application, Rainbow 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 Rainbow 
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 Rainbow 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.

proceeding should file a comment or protest to the application at the
