Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 228 / Wednesday, November 28, 2007 / Notices
A draft Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the Proposed Enbridge
Southern Lights Pipeline Project has
been prepared on behalf of the
Department of State by Enbridge
Pipelines (Southern Lights) LLC
(‘‘EPSL’’). On April 9, 2007, The
Department of State received an
application from EPSL for a Presidential
permit, pursuant to Executive Order
13337 of April 30, 2004, as amended, to
construct, connect, operate, and
maintain facilities (including a 20-inch
diameter crude oil and liquid
hydrocarbon pipeline) at the U.S.Canadian border at Neche, Pembina
County, North Dakota, for the purpose
of transporting liquid hydrocarbons and
other petroleum products between the
United States and Canada. EPSL has
stated that it seeks this authorization in
connection with its Southern Lights
Pipeline Project (‘‘LSr Project’’), which
is designed to transport Canadian crude
oil from the Western Canadian
Sedimentary Basin (‘‘WCSB’’) to
existing refinery markets in the Midwest
region of the United States.
The Secretary of State is designated
and empowered to receive all
applications for Presidential permits, as
referred to in Executive Order 13337, as
amended, for the construction,
connection, operation, or maintenance,
at the borders of the United States, of
facilities for the exportation or
importation of petroleum, petroleum
products, coal, or other fuels to or from
a foreign country.
On July
27, 2007, the Department of State
published in the Federal Register a
Notification of Receipt and intent to
prepare an Environment Assessment
(EA). [** public comments were
received in connection with that notice.]
In accordance with Section 102(C) of the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4332(C)) and
implementing regulations promulgated
by the Council on Environmental
Quality (40 CFR parts 1500–1508) and
the Department of State (22 CFR part
161), including in particular 22 CFR
161.7(c)(1), a draft environmental
assessment (EA) was prepared by EPSL
on behalf of the Department of State to
determine if there are any potential
significant impacts and to address
alternatives to the proposed action.
The U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers was
a Federal cooperating agency for the
development of this EA. Cooperating
agencies either have jurisdiction by law
or special expertise with respect to the
environmental impacts assessed in
connection with the proposal and are
ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES

involved in the Department’s analysis of
those environmental impacts.
The draft EA addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
United States portion of the Southern
Lights Pipeline Project. EPSL is a
limited liability company, organized
under the laws of the State of Delaware.
EPSL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and an indirectlyowned subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of
Canada. EPSL’s primary U.S. business
address is 1100 Louisiana St., Suite
3300, Houston, Texas 7702. According
to the description in EPSL’s application,
the proposed new border crossing
would consist of approximately forty
(40) feet of pipeline on each side of the
international boundary, which would be
buried to a minimum depth of three (3)
feet below ground level; the border
crossing would be part of the LSr
Project, which would consist in the U.S.
of 136 miles of 20-inch diameter
pipeline from the U.S.-Canadian border
at Pembina County, North Dakota, to the
existing Enbridge Clearbrook tank farm
and terminal facilities in Clearwater
County, Minnesota.
Comment Procedures: Any person
wishing to comment on the draft EA
may do so. To ensure consideration of
comments prior to a Department of State
decision on the application, it is
important that we receive your
comments by no later than December
28, 2007. Options for submitting
comments on the Draft EA are as
follows:
• By mail to: Jeff Izzo, U.S.
Department of State, EEB/ESC Room
4843, Washington, DC 20520. Please
note that Department of State mail can
be delayed due to security screening.
• Fax to: (202) 647–4037, attention
Jeff Izzo.
• E-mail to: izzojr@state.gov.
After comments are reviewed,
significant new issues (if any) are
investigated, and modifications (if any)
are made to the draft EA, a final EA will
be made available by the Department of
State, along with a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI), if such a
determination is made. The final EA
will contain the Department’s response
to timely comments received on the
draft EA.

The FAA
is currently preparing an EIS for the
implementation of proposed projects at
the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. Major
projects already included in the EIS
include improvements to the runway
safety area; installation of an approach
light system; construction of a parallel
taxiway; construction of a seaplane
pullout; and repairs and improvements
to the airport seawall. These projects,
along with other projects proposed to
improve safety and efficiency and
accommodate growing aviation demand,
were identified in the Sitka Airport
Master Plan.
It has been determined that portions
of property believed to be existing
airport lands are not currently state
owned, but instead are federally owned,
and managed by the Bureau of Land
Management. If the proposed airport
improvements are approved through the
EIS process, portions of the federal
lands, including those commonly
referred to as the Makhnati lands, would
need to be transferred from federal to
state ownership before implementation
of proposed airport improvements. As
such, the FAA is adding the transfer of
the lands necessary for implementation
of the projects being assessed in the EIS
as well as lands necessary for other
existing and future aviation uses, as a
proposed action that will be examined
in the EIS. The federally owned lands
needed for aviation uses include
segments of filled land on Japonski
Island, Charcoal Island, and portions of
submerged land surrounding the airport.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to the proposed actions are
addressed and that all significant issues
are identified, the FAA intends to
coordinate and consult with the public;
tribal governments; and Federal, State,
and local agencies that have jurisdiction
by law or have special expertise with
respect to any environmental impacts
associated with the proposed projects.
Agencies and the public may submit
written comments via the address
under, ‘‘To Submit Written Comments,
Send to.’’ Comments must be submitted
by December 31, 2007.
