authorization under section 202(e) of the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
    On June 18, 2010, DOE received an application from BEM LP for 
authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada 
as a power marketer using existing international transmission 
facilities for five years. BEM LP does not own any electric 
transmission facilities nor does it hold a franchised service area.
    The electric energy that BEM LP 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 
existing international transmission facilities to be utilized by BEM LP 
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 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 Sec. Sec.  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 BEM LP application to export electric energy to 
Canada should be clearly marked with Docket No. EA-368. Additional 
copies are to be filed directly with Andrea Rocheleau, Brookfield 
Energy Marketing LP, 480 de la Cite Blvd., Gatineau, Quebec J8T 8R3 AND

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
