SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy (DOE) regulates
exports of electricity from the United States to a foreign country,
pursuant to sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the Department of Energy
Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7151(b) and 42 U.S.C. 7172(f)). Such
exports require authorization under section 202(e) of the Federal Power
Act (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On November 3, 2021, TPS filed an application with DOE (Application
or App.) to ``transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada
for a period of five years.'' App. at 1. TPS states that it ``is a
Nebraska corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of
Tenaska Energy, Inc. (`Tenaska').'' Id. TPS further states that its
``parent company, Tenaska, is a privately held corporation organized
and existing under the laws of Delaware.'' Id. at 2. TPS represents
that it ``does not currently own or control electric generation or
transmission facilities, and does not have a power supply of its own in
the United States that would cause its electricity exports to have a
reliability, fuel use, or system stability impact.'' Id. at 3.
TPS further claims that it would ``purchase the electricity may
export . . . from wholesale generators, electric utilities, federal
power marketing agencies and affiliates through negotiated agreements
that have been voluntarily executed by the selling parties after
considering their own need for any such electricity.'' App. at 3. TPS
contends that its ``proposed electricity exports will not impair or
tend to impede the sufficiency of electric power supplies in the United
States or the regional coordination of electric utility planning or
operations.'' Id. at 3-4.
The existing international transmission facilities to be utilized
by the Applicant 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 be heard in this
proceeding should file a comment or protest to the Application at the
address provided above. Protests should be filed in accordance with
Rule 211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Rules of
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211). Any person desiring to become
a party to this proceeding should file a motion to intervene at the
above address in accordance with FERC Rule 214 (18 CFR 385.214).

1021) and after DOE evaluates whether the proposed action will have an
adverse impact on the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the U.S.
electric power supply system.
