Canada over international electric transmission facilities deemed to be

which Endure Energy proposes to export to Canada would be surplus 
energy purchased from electric utilities, Federal power marketing 
agencies, and other entities within the United States. Endure Energy 
has requested an electricity export authorization with a 5-year term.

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

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

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