SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electricity from the United

(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 FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
    On May 26, 2009, DOE received an application from JPMCCC for 
authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada 
as a power marketer. The energy to be exported would be delivered to 
Canada over existing transmission interconnections between the United 
States and Canada over any facility determined by DOE to be appropriate 
for third-party use. The electric energy which JPMCCC proposes to 
export to Canada would be surplus to the needs of the selling entities. 
JPMCCC has requested an electricity export authorization with a 5-year 
term.

proceedings or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures 
(18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each petition and protest

adversely impact on the reliability of the U.S. electric power supply 
system.
