SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of the Final Environmental
Assessment and a Finding of No
Significant Impact for the Proposed
Enbridge Southern Lights Pipeline
Project.
On April 19, 2007, Enbridge Pipelines
(Southern Lights) L.L.C. applied for a
Presidential permit to construct,
connect, operate, and maintain facilities
(including a 20-inch diameter 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 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.
Executive Order 13337 of April 30,
2004, as amended, delegates to the
Secretary of State the President’s
authority to receive applications for
permits for the construction,
connection, operation, or maintenance
of facilities, including pipelines, for the
exportation or importation of petroleum,
petroleum products, coal, or other fuels
at the border of the United States and to
issue or deny such Presidential Permits
upon a national interest determination.
The Executive Order directs the
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Secretary of State to refer the
application and pertinent information
to, and to request the views of, the
heads of certain agencies before issuing
a Permit and authorizes the Secretary to
consult with other interested federal
and state officials, as appropriate. The
Executive Order also authorizes Federal
Register notification of receipt of
Presidential permit applications and for
public comments on those applications.
The functions assigned to the Secretary
have been further delegated within the
Department of State.
The Department of State published in
the Federal Register a Notification of
Receipt and Notice of Intent to prepare
an Environment Assessment (EA)
regarding the EPSL Application for a
permit on July 27, 2007 (72 FR 41383).
That notification solicited public
comment on the application for a 45-day
period, and announced the Department
of State would conduct public scoping
meetings along the proposed route. The
Department’s Notice of Availability of
the draft EA and request for public
comment was published in the Federal
Register on November 29, 2007 (72 FR
67335), seeking comments by December
28, 2007. The Department received
public comments in response to its two
notices and has taken them into account
in preparing the Final Environmental
Assessment on the EPSL Application.
As required by Executive Order
13337, EPSL’s pipeline application and
a Draft Environmental Assessment were
also transmitted to the relevant federal
agencies for their review and comment
on November 29, 2007. The Department
of State received no objections from
federal agencies regarding the issuance
of a permit.
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(‘‘NEPA’’), 42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f, the
Council of Environmental Quality
Regulations for Implementing the
Procedural Provisions of NEPA, 40 CFR
Parts 1500–1508, and the Department’s
regulations for the implementation of
NEPA, 22 CFR Part 161, EPSL has
prepared a Final Environmental
Assessment (FEA) under the guidance
and supervision of the Department, with
full public participation, including
public meetings and ample opportunity
for written and oral public comment on
the project. Based on the FEA and the
record created as part of the
Department’s evaluation of the EPSL
application, on June 2, the Department
determined that ‘‘issuance of a
Presidential Permit authorizing
construction of the proposed Southern
Lights Pipeline would not have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment within the United
