Notice of Receipt of Application for a
Presidential Permit To Operate and
Maintain Pipeline Facilities on the
Border of the United States
Notice is hereby given that the
Department of State has received an
application from Dome Petroleum Corp.,
a North Dakota corporation (‘‘Dome
Petroleum’’), with its principal address
at 4101 Winfield Road, Warrenville,
Illinois 60555, and Kinder Morgan
Cochin, LLC, (‘‘Kinder Morgan’’), a
Delaware limited liability company with
its principal office at 500 Dallas Street
Suite 1000, Houston, TX 77002, for
Presidential permits, pursuant to
Executive Order 13337 of April 30,
2004, to operate and maintain two crossborder pipelines they recently acquired
from Dome Pipeline Corporation
(‘‘Dome Pipeline’’) to transport
petroleum, petroleum products, and
other liquid hydrocarbons between the
United States and Canada, crossing the
international boundary line underneath
the Detroit River between Detroit,
Michigan and Windsor, Canada.
A Permit for these pipelines was
originally issued to American Brine, Inc.
on October 23, 1957. The permit granted
American Brine the authority to
construct, connect, operate, and
maintain two pipelines (collectively, the
‘‘Pipelines’’) to carry liquid brine
between the United States and Canada,
crossing underneath the Detroit River
between Detroit, Michigan and Windsor,
Canada. This permit was superseded by
a new permit issued to American Brine
on March 13, 1969. Following the sale
of these pipelines to Dome Pipeline in
1972, this superseding permit was
amended to reflect Dome Pipeline as the
new owner, and to permit the pipelines
to transport petroleum, petroleum
products and other liquid hydrocarbons.
On March 15, 2007 Dome Petroleum
sold Dome Pipeline, its former
subsidiary, to Kinder Morgan Energy
Partners LP, a master limited
partnership with its principal office in
Houston, Texas. Following the sale,
Dome Pipeline was merged into Kinder
Morgan Cochin (‘‘Kinder Morgan’’), a
Delaware limited liability company and
subsidiary of Kinder Morgan Energy
Partners with its principal office in
Houston, Texas.
Under the terms of the all-stock sale,
ownership of the Pipelines was to be
transferred to Dome Petroleum and
Kinder Morgan. Dome Petroleum shall
be the sole owner of the pipeline
common referred to as the Eastern
Delivery System South Pipeline System

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 10, 2009 / Notices

(‘‘EDS Pipeline’’), located to the eastsoutheast of the other pipeline. Kinder
Morgan shall be the sole owner of the
pipeline commonly referred to as the
Cochin Pipeline, located to the westnorthwest of the EDS Pipeline. Each
party shall be solely responsible for the
maintenance of their pipeline and any
liability associated with that pipeline.
All easements, licenses, leases and
permits associated with the Pipelines,
except for any Presidential permits
issued by the Department, and all real
property formerly owned in fee by
Dome Pipeline, shall be owned jointly
by Dome Petroleum and Kinder Morgan
as tenants in common. If approved by
the Department, separate individual
Presidential permits will be issued to
Dome Petroleum and Kinder Morgan for
their respective pipelines.
According to the application, Dome
Petroleum and Kinder Morgan have, in
written correspondence to the
Department of State, committed to abide
by the relevant terms and conditions of
the permit previously issued by the
Department to Dome Pipeline. Further,
Dome Petroleum and Kinder Morgan
have indicated in that correspondence
that there have been no substantial
changes in the operations of the EDS
and Cochin pipelines from those
originally authorized by the Department
and further stated that the future
operation of the pipelines will remain
essentially unchanged from that
previously permitted. Therefore, in
accordance with 22 CFR 161.7(b)(3) and
the Department’s Procedures for
Issuance of a Presidential Permit Where
There Has Been a Transfer of the
Underlying Facility, Bridge or Border
Crossing for Land Transportation (70 FR
30990, May 31, 2005), the Department of
State does not intend to conduct an
environmental review of the application
unless information is brought to its
attention that the transfer potentially
would have a significant impact on the
quality of the human environment.
As required by E.O. 13337, the
Department of State is circulating this
application to concerned federal
agencies for comment.
DATES: Interested parties are invited to
submit, in duplicate, comments relative
to this proposal on or before March 12,
2009 to J. Brian Duggan, Office of
International Energy and Commodities
Policy, Department of State,

and related documents that are part of
the record to be considered by the
Department of State in connection with
