In the Matter of the Keystone XL
Pipeline
This notice is to inform the public
that the Department of State has denied
the Application of TransCanada
Keystone Pipeline, L.P. for a
Presidential Permit Authorizing the
Construction, Operation, and
Maintenance of Pipeline Facilities for
the Importation of Crude Oil to be
located at the United States-Canada
Border, received by the Department of
State on September 19, 2008, as directed
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:48 Feb 02, 2012
by the Presidential Memorandum for the
Secretary of State Implementing
Provisions of the Temporary Payroll Tax
Cut Continuation Act of 2011 Relating
to the Keystone XL Pipeline Permit,
dated January 18, 2012. The full text of
the Presidential Memorandum is as
follows:
Jkt 226001
SUBJECT: Implementing Provisions of the
Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act
of 2011 Relating to the Keystone XL Pipeline
Permit
The Temporary Payroll Tax Cut
Continuation Act of 2011 requires a
determination, within 60 days of enactment,
of whether the Keystone XL pipeline project
as set forth in the permit application filed on
September 19, 2008 (including amendments)
(the ‘‘Keystone XL pipeline project’’) would
serve the national interest. The State
Department had previously explained, on
November 10, 2011, that it was seeking
additional information concerning whether
that project served the national interest, as
necessary to grant the permit. Based on its
experience and in order to consider relevant
environmental issues and the consequences
of the project on energy security, the
economy, and foreign policy, the State
Department indicated that its review could
be complete as early as the first quarter of
2013.
I have determined, based upon your
recommendation, including the State
Department’s view that 60 days is an
insufficient period to obtain and assess the
necessary information, that the Keystone XL
pipeline project, as presented and analyzed
at this time, would not serve the national
interest.
Accordingly, by the authority vested in me
as President by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States including section 301 of
title 3, United States Code, and in
furtherance of Executive Order 13337 of
April 30, 2004 to the extent compatible with
this memorandum, I direct you to submit the
report to the Congress as specified in section
501(b)(2) of the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut
Continuation Act of 2011 and to issue a
denial of the Keystone XL pipeline permit
application.
This memorandum is not intended to, and
does not, create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at law
or in equity by any party against the United
States, its departments, agencies, or entities,
its officers, employees, or agents, or any other
person.
You are hereby authorized and directed to
publish this memorandum in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: U.S. Department of
´ ´
Transportation Mentor-Protege Pilot
Program Evaluation Form; and U.S.
Department of Transportation Mentor
´ ´
Protege Pilot Program Annual Report.
Abstract: DOT will use the data
´ ´
captured in the Mentor-Protege Pilot
Program Evaluation Form to measure
program achievement to determine
whether the intention of the program to
assist small businesses to compete and
perform in DOT and federal
procurement programs is achieved. DOT
will use this data to determine whether
program changes are required to
increase participation of small
businesses in DOT procurement
programs.
Additionally, DOT will use the data
´ ´
captured in the Mentor Protege Pilot
Program Annual Report to measure
´ ´
protege progress against the
developmental plan contained in their
´ ´
Mentor Protege agreement and to report
the specific actions taken by the mentor
to increase the participation of the
´ ´
protege as a prime or subcontractor to
DOT.
A Federal Register Notice with a 60day comment period soliciting
comments on the information collection
was published on Friday, November 4,
2011. Only one (1) anonymous comment
was received stating that more concrete
language is needed to specify the
´ ´
protege’s ability to withdraw from the
program voluntarily. Additionally, there
does not appear to be any language
stating whether a mentor can receive
reimbursement for MP program costs;
whether it is direct, or through credit
against subcontracting goals. It appears
that should be added as well.
Procedures for the Mentor or the
´ ´
Protege to withdraw from the program
voluntarily will be established by both
´ ´
parties in the Mentor-Protege
´ ´
Agreement. The Mentor or the Protege
should provide written notice to
OSDBU at least 30 days before
withdrawing from the program.
As for the reimbursement part, the
Program Office has determined there
will be no incentives, such as
reimbursements or credits toward
subcontracting goals.
