[OE Docket No. EA-321-B]


Application To Export Electric Energy; Emera Energy Services 
Subsidiary No. 1 LLC

AGENCY: Office of Electricity, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of application.

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

SUMMARY: Emera Energy Services Subsidiary No. 1 LLC (Applicant or EESS-
1) 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 20, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Comments, protests, motions to intervene, or requests for 
more information should be addressed to: Office of Electricity, 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 Electricity.Exports@hq.doe.gov, or by 
facsimile to 202-586-8008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates 
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country, 
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy 
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)). Such exports require 
authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 
824a(e)).
    On October 2, 2013, DOE issued Order No. EA-321-A to EESS-1, which 
authorized the Applicant to transmit electric energy from the United 
States to Canada, effective October 1, 2013, as a power marketer for a 
five-year term using existing international transmission facilities. 
That authority expires on October 1, 2018. On February 22, 2018, EESS-1 
filed an application with DOE for renewal of the export authority 
contained in Order No. EA-321 for an additional five-year term.
    In its application, EESS-1 states that it neither owns nor controls 
any electric generation or transmission facilities, and that it has no 
franchised electric power service area. The electric energy that EESS-1 
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 EESS-1 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 
(5) 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 EESS-1's application to 
export electric energy to Canada should be clearly marked with OE 
Docket No. EA-321-B. An additional copy is to be provided directly to 
both Bonnie A. Suchman, Suchman Law LLC, 8104 Paisley Place, Potomac, 
MD 20854 and Michael G. Henry, Emera Energy Services, Inc., 101 Federal 
St., Suite 1101, Boston, MA 02110.
    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 DOE determines 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 website at http://energy.gov/node/11845, or by 
emailing Angela Troy at Angela.Troy@hq.doe.gov.
