EA-296-D – Rainbow Energy Marketing Corporation

Export Authorization Application to Canada, issued 05/02/2023.

Rainbow Energy Marketing Corporation (“Rainbow”), pursuant to Section 202(e) of the Federal Power Act (“FPA”), 16 U.S.C. § 824a(e), the Department of Energy (“DOE”) regulations set forth in 10 C.F.R. §§ 205.300, et seq. (the “Regulations”), and paragraph “K” of Order No. EA296-C hereby files this “Renewal Application” for blanket authority to transmit electric energy from the United States to Canada. Rainbow’s current electricity export authorization expires pursuant to the terms of Order No. EA-296-C on September 18, 2022. Rainbow understands that authorization under paragraph “K” of Order No. EA-296-C will expire on September 18, 2022. Accordingly, Rainbow respectfully requests expeditious action on this application and issuance of an order granting Rainbow renewed export authority to Canada for an additional five-year term as soon as reasonably practicable. Rainbow inadvertently overlooked the need to file this renewal application. In order to ensure this oversight does not occur again, Rainbow’s counsel is establishing a protocol whereby Rainbow’s counsel will be reminded of the due date for Rainbow’s authorization well in advance of the expiration of the authorization so that the application can be timely filed in the future.
