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
E:\FR\FM\09JNN1.SGM
09JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 111 / Monday, June 9, 2008 / Notices
States.’’ Accordingly, the Department on
that date adopted a ‘‘Finding Of No
Significant Impact’’ (FONSI) and
determined that an environmental
impact statement will not be prepared
on the EPSL application.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
Final Environmental Assessment
addressing this action is on file and may
be reviewed by interested parties, along
with the Finding of No Significant
Impact, at the Department of State, 2200

Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Assessment and

AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the Final Environmental Assessment
and a Finding of No Significant Impact for the Proposed Enbridge
Southern Lights Pipeline Project.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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

2007 (72 FR 41383). That notification solicited public comment on 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
