BILLING CODE 4000-01-M DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. EA-164-A] Application to Export Electric Energy; Constellation Power Source, Inc. AGENCY: Office of Fossil Energy, DOE. ACTION: Notice of Application. SUMMARY: Constellation Power Source, Inc.
(CPS)has applied for renewal of its authority to transmit electric energy from the United 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 February 18, 2000. ADDRESSES: Comments, protests or requests to intervene should be addressed as follows: Office of Coal & Power Im/Ex (FE-27), Office of Fossil Energy, U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20585-0350 (FAX 202-287-5736). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ellen Russell (Program Office) 202-586-9624 or Michael Skinker (Program Attorney) 202-586-2793. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 23, 1998, the Office of Fossil Energy
(FE)of the Department of Energy
(DOE)authorized CPS to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada as a power marketer (Order No. EA-164) using the international electric transmission facilities owned and operated by Basin Electric Power Cooperative, Bonneville Power Administration, Citizens Utilities, Detroit Edison, Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative, Joint Owners of the Highgate Project, Maine Electric Power Company, Maine Public Service Company, Minnesota Power, Minnkota Power Cooperative, New York Power Authority, Niagara Mohawk Power Corp., Northern States Power, and Vermont Electric Transmission Company. That authorization will expire on January 23, 2000. On January 6, 2000, CPS filed an application with FE for renewal of the export authority contained in Order No. EA-164. CPS has requested that authorization be issued for a five-year term and that the international transmission facilities of Long Sault, Inc. be added to the list of authorized export points. Procedural Matters Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding 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 §§ 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 the DOE on or before the date listed above. Comments on the CPS request to export should be clearly marked with Docket EA-164-A. Additional copies are to be filed directly with Randall D. Osteen, Attorney, Constellation Power Source, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 500, Baltimore, MD 21202. DOE notes that the circumstances described in this application are virtually identical to those for which export authority had previously been granted in FE Order EA-164. Consequently, DOE believes that it has adequately satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 through the documentation of a categorical exclusion in the FE Docket EA-164 proceeding. Copies of this application will be made available, upon request, for public inspection and copying at the address provided above or by accessing the Fossil Energy Home Page at http://www.fe.doe.gov. Upon reaching the Fossil Energy Home page, select “Electricity” from the Regulatory Info menu and then “Pending Proceedings” from the options menus. Issued in Washington, DC, on January 12, 2000. Anthony J. Como, Deputy Director, Electric Power Regulation, Office of Coal & Power Im/Ex, Office of Coal & Power Systems, Office of Fossil Energy. [FR Doc. 00-1195 Filed 1-18-00; 8:45 am]
