Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by describing the
conditions under which computer

(2) Obtain approval of the matching
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards
of the participating Federal agencies;
(3) Publish notice of the computer

federal government pension benefits).
We administer the Old Age, Survivors,
Disability Insurance (OASDI), SSI, and

programs. We will use the match results
under this agreement to meet our civil
service benefit offset obligations.
Appendices A, B, C, and D of this

Act (42 U.S.C. 1006). Section 224 of the
Act (42 U.S.C. 424a) provides for the

also entitled to a Public Disability
Benefit.
Section 1631(f) of the Act requires
Federal agencies to furnish us with

[Public Notice 8237]
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) and To Conduct
Scoping and To Initiate Consultation
consistent With the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) for the
Proposed Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership, Line 67 Capacity
Expansion Project
SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public that the Department
of State (the Department) will be
preparing a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement for the
proposed Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership, Line 67 Capacity
Expansion Project. Under E.O. 13337,
the Secretary of State is authorized to
issue Presidential Permits for the
construction, connection, operation, or
maintenance at the borders of the
United States, of facilities for the
exportation or importation of liquid
petroleum, petroleum products, or other
non-gaseous fuels to or from a foreign
country.
Enbridge Energy (Enbridge) has
applied to the Department for an
amendment to their current Presidential
Permit authorizing it to operate at a
higher capacity the existing crude oil
pipeline (known as ‘‘Line 67’’). To
approve the amendment, the
Department of State must find that
issuance would serve the national
interest. In the course of processing
such applications, the Department
consults extensively with concerned
Federal and State agencies, and invites
public comment in arriving at its
determination.
The Department issued a Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
on June 5, 2009, as part of its review of
the initial Presidential Permit
application for Line 67. On August 3,
2009, the Department issued a
Presidential Permit authorizing the
construction, operation and
maintenance of facilities at the U.S.Canada border for Line 67 (known at the
time of permit issuance as the ‘‘Alberta
Clipper’’ pipeline). Enbridge completed
construction of Line 67 in 2010
