SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
indicated in Public Notice 8640, on
December 20, 2013, the Department of
State (DOS) received from Plains
Pipeline, L.P. (‘‘Plains Pipeline’’) notice
that it has acquired the rights to operate
and maintain a portion of the Poplar
Pipeline in Sheridan County, Montana
that is currently permitted under a 2007
Presidential Permit issued in the name
of two Plains Pipeline affiliates: PMC
(Nova Scotia) Company and Plains
Marketing Canada L.P., collectively
(‘‘PMC’’). Plains Pipeline requests that a
Presidential Permit be issued in its
name with respect to the pipeline
facilities.
Plains Pipeline is a subsidiary of
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
(Plains), a publically traded master
limited partnership with headquarters
in Houston, Texas. Plains is engaged in
the transportation, storage, and
marketing of crude oil, refined products,
and natural gas-related petroleum
products.
The current Permit, issued in 2007 to
PMC (Nova Scotia) Company and Plains
Marketing Canada L.P., covers the 56.8mile long Poplar Pipeline, previously

called the Wascana Pipeline, which
extends from the Murphy Oil terminal
northeast of Poplar, Montana, to the
international border near Raymond,
Montana, and which was constructed
pursuant to authorization in a 1972
Permit issued to Wascana Pipeline Corp.
Plains Pipeline has acquired an
approximately 6.4-mile segment of the
Poplar Pipeline extending from
Raymond Station to the international
border, repaired and replaced portions
of the pipeline in that area, and
installed two block valves. Plains
Pipeline has submitted an application
for a new Presidential Permit in its
name and requests that the new Permit
cover approximately 85 feet of pipeline
facilities extending from a new block
valve to the international border. Plains
Pipeline has reported that it has
separately constructed the Bakken North
pipeline that extends from Trenton,
North Dakota to Raymond Station, and
that it intends to interconnect the
Bakken North with the Poplar Pipeline
in order to use the Poplar Pipeline
border crossing to transport the Bakken
North crude into Canada.
Plains Pipeline has stated that, upon
returning the upgraded pipeline
facilities to service under the 2007
Presidential Permit, Plains Pipeline will
continue to operate the acquired
facilities for the same purpose of
transporting crude oil between the
United States and Canada. It has further
stated that the acquired pipeline
facilities and the operation and
maintenance thereof authorized by the
2007 Permit will remain substantially
the same as before the transfer of the
facilities to Plains Pipeline. Plains
Pipeline is not seeking authorization for
new construction or a change in
operations.
Under E.O. 13337, the Secretary of
State is designated and empowered to
receive all applications for 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 fuels
(except natural gas) to or from a foreign
country. The Department of State is
circulating this application to concerned
federal agencies for comment. The
Department of State has the
responsibility to determine whether
issuance of a new Presidential Permit in
light of Plains’ acquisition and
continued operation of the pipeline
facilities would serve the U.S. national
interest.
Plains Pipeline’s application is
