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 (FPA) (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)).
On June 7, 2022, Applicant filed an application with DOE
(Application or App.) ``for authority to transmit electric energy from
the United States to Canada for a period of five (5) years.'' App. at
2. Applicant states that it is ``a Canadian company with its principal
place of business in Douro-Dummer, Ontario.'' Id. at 2. Applicant adds
that ``Command Power is a private corporation organized under the
Business Corporations Act (Ontario, Canada). The company is a
[[Page 52948]]
direct, wholly owned subsidiary of HJ&J Enterprises Ltd., which is 100
percent owned by an individual, Jonathan Nikkel.'' Id. at 2-3.
Applicant represents that it ``does not have any affiliates or upstream
owners that possess any ownership interest or involvement in any other
company that is a traditional utility or that owns, operates, or
controls any electric generation, transmission or distribution
facilities.'' Id.
Applicant further claims that it would ``purchase power to be
exported from a variety of sources such as power marketers, independent
power producers, or U.S. electric utilities and federal power marketing
entities as those terms are defined in sections 3(22) and 3(19) of the
FPA.'' App. at 3. Applicant contends that ``by definition, such power
is surplus to the system of the generator and, therefore, the electric
power that Command Power will export on either a firm or interruptible
basis will not impair the sufficiency of the electric power supply
within the U.S. Id. at 3.
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).

impacts have been evaluated pursuant to DOE's National Environmental

the sufficiency of supply or reliability of the U.S. electric power
supply system.
