SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electricity from the United

(DOE) pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of

require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (16 
U.S.C.Sec.  824a(e)).
    On May 19, 2009, DOE issued Order No. EA-264-B to ENMAX, which 
authorized ENMAX to transmit electric energy from the United States to 
Canada as a power marketer for a five-year term using existing 
international transmission facilities. That authority expired on May 
19, 2014. On May 21, 2014, ENMAX filed an application with DOE for 
renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-264-B for an 
additional five-year term.
    In its application, ENMAX states that it does not own any electric 
generating or transmission facilities, and it does not have a 
franchised service area. The existing international transmission 
facilities to be utilized by ENMAX 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.

proceeding should file a comment or protest to the application at the 
address provided above. Protests should be filed in accordance with

additional copy is to be provided directly to Don Crippen, ENMAX 
Corporation, 141--50 Avenue SE., Calgary, AB Canada T2G 4S7.
    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 a determination is made by DOE 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.
