States to Canada pursuant to section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act.
DATES: Comments, protests, or requests to intervene must be submitted
on or before April 16, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments, protests or requests to intervene should be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of electricity from the United
States to a foreign country are regulated by the Department of Energy
(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 24, 2005, DOE issued Order No. EA-301 authorizing Integrys
Energy to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as
a power marketer for a period of five years. That authorization will
expire on May 24, 2010. On February 2, 2010, Integrys Energy filed an
application with DOE to renew the export authority contained in Order
No. EA-301 for an additional five-year term.
The electric energy which Integrys 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. Each of the international transmission facilities to be
utilized by Integrys Energy has previously been authorized by a
Presidential permit 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

energy to Canada should be clearly marked with Docket No. EA-301-A.

and Amy Klatvier, Integrys Energy Services, Inc., 500 W. Madison St.,

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.
