SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electricity from the United 
States to a foreign country are regulated and require authorization 
under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 
824a(e)).
    On May 30, 2002, the Department of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. 
EA-264 authorizing ENMAX to transmit electric energy from the United 
States to Canada as a power marketer using international transmission 
facilities located at the United States border with Canada. On May 19, 
2004, DOE issued Order No. EA-264-A which renewed that authorization 
for a five-year period. That Order will expire on May 19, 2009. On 
April 7, 2009, ENMAX filed an application with DOE to renew the export 
authority contained in Order No. EA-264-A for an additional five-year 
term.
    The electric energy which ENMAX proposes to export to Canada would 
be surplus energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power 
marketing agencies, and other entities within the United States.
    The construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of each of 
the international transmission facilities to be utilized by ENMAX has 
previously been authorized by a Presidential permit issued pursuant to 
Executive Order 10485, as amended.
    Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to become a party to these 
proceedings or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this 
application should file a petition to intervene, comment, or protest at 
the address provided above in accordance with sections 385.211 or 
385.214 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedures (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each 
petition and protest should be filed with DOE on or before the date 
listed above.
    Comments on the ENMAX application to export electric energy to 
Canada should be clearly marked with Docket No. EA-264-B. Additional 
copies are to be filed directly with Penny Haldane, Regulatory Affairs 
Specialist, ENMAX Corporation, 141-50 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G 4S7. A 
final decision will be made on this application after the environmental 
impacts have been evaluated pursuant to the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, and a determination is made by DOE that the 
proposed action will not adversely impact on the 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://www.oe.energy.gov/permits_pending.htm, or by e-mailing Odessa Hopkins at
