SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electric energy from the United 
States to a foreign country are regulated and require authorization 
under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act.
    On October 27, 1995, CNG filed an application with the Office of 
Fossil Energy (FE) of the Department of Energy (DOE) for authority to 
export electric energy to Canada. CNG, a power marketer, proposes to 
sell electric energy to Hydro-Quebec in Canada. CNG proposes to export 
electric energy that is surplus to the generator or system from which 
it is to be purchased. CNG further proposes to export the electric 
energy through the cross-border transmission facilities owned by New 
York Power Authority (NYPA) and Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. (NMPC) for 
which Presidential permits have been issued. As appendicies to the 
application CNG has provided executed transmission agreements from both 
NYPA and NMPC.
