Public Meeting on the Renewal of the Charter of the U.S. International Telecommunications Advisory Committee, 35404-35405 [2014-14503]

Download as PDF 35404 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 119 / Friday, June 20, 2014 / Notices for a Presidential Permit, as well as the Presidential Permit process, are downloadable from the following Web site: https://www.state.gov/e/enr/ applicant/applicants/index.htm. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Project Description The Dos Laredos Pipeline is an 8 and ⁄ inch outer diameter pipeline at the United States-Mexico border that connects the NuStar terminal in Laredo, Texas, with a terminal in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The U.S. portion of the Dos Laredos Pipeline consists of approximately 10.6 miles of pipeline from the NuStar terminal in Laredo, Texas to the Rio Grande crossing approximately six miles northwest of downtown Laredo, Texas. The Mexican portion consists of approximately 1.5 kilometers of pipeline from the Rio Grande crossing to the Nuevo Laredo terminal. NuStar has requested authorization to expand the types of products that may be transported through the pipeline to include LPG and other specified petroleum products, including diesel. Specifically, NuStar has requested a Presidential Permit that allows transportation of any petroleum product that, by American Society for Testing Materials test methods,: (1) Substantially distills below 700 degrees Fahrenheit; (2) has a Reid vapor pressure not exceeding 28 pounds at 100 degrees Fahrenheit; and (3) is a color not darker than No. 3. NuStar’s request excludes certain petroleum products legally prohibited from being exported by statute or regulation. As stated above, the 2003 Presidential Permit only allows shipment of LPG. No substantial physical changes to the pipeline would be required to transport the expanded range of petroleum products. NuStar expects to transport no more than 24,000 barrels per day of refined petroleum products, in contrast to the 32,400 barrels per day of LPG that the Dos Laredos Pipeline has transported, because of differences in viscosity and flow characteristics. While the proposed operational change in products would require some physical change of pipeline facilities within the U.S. terminal, NuStar is not proposing any construction on the U.S. portion of the Dos Laredos Pipeline facilities outside the fence line of the U.S. terminal and no specific support infrastructure or access roads are necessary or required by state or regional plans with respect to the border-crossing facilities. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 58 VerDate Mar<15>2010 22:31 Jun 19, 2014 Jkt 232001 The Supplemental EA Process The Department, consistent with NEPA, will prepare the Supplemental EA to determine whether the approval of a Presidential Permit for NuStar to transport a broader range of petroleum products, including diesel, using the Dos Laredos Pipeline would result in significant impacts to the human environment. The Department will also evaluate reasonable alternatives, including a ‘‘no action’’ alternative, to the proposed project or portions of the project. Below, the Department invites interested parties to submit comments to assist in determining the appropriate scope and content of that Supplemental EA. The Department will select a ThirdParty Contractor to assist with preparation of the Supplemental EA and related tasks. The draft and final Supplemental EA will be prepared under the direction of the Department. A draft Supplemental EA will be released to the public and distributed to relevant government agencies and stakeholders. Once the draft Supplemental EA is published, all interested parties will have an opportunity to provide specific comments or concerns about the draft Supplemental EA. The Department will consider all timely submissions received about the draft Supplemental EA and will incorporate them, as appropriate, into the final Supplemental EA. Dated: June 16, 2014.
