Notice of Receipt From Pembina
Prairie Pipeline (U.S.A.) Ltd., of a
Notification Concerning Its Acquisition
of Vantage Pipeline US LP, Which
Holds a Presidential Permit To Operate

Border of the United States and
Canada

ACTION:
Notice.
Notice is hereby given that
the Department of State (‘‘Department’’)
has received from Pembina Prairie
Pipeline (U.S.A.) Ltd. (‘‘Pembina’’)
notice that Pembina has acquired
Vantage Pipeline US LP (‘‘Vantage’’),
which owns, operates, and maintains
pipeline facilities (‘‘Vantage Pipeline’’)
that are permitted under a 2013
Presidential Permit issued to Vantage.
Vantage will continue to own and
operate the Vantage Pipeline.
Pembina’s notification is available at
https://www.state.gov/e/enr/applicant/
applicants/index.htm. Pembina U.S.A.
is a corporation duly organized under
the laws of Delaware with its
headquarters at Corporation Trust
Center, 1209 Orange St., Wilmington,
DE 19801. Pembina U.S.A. is owned by
Pembina Prairie Pipeline Holdco Ltd.,
which is an Alberta corporation that is
owned by Pembina Pipeline Corporation
(‘‘PPC’’). PPC is the ultimate parent of
Pembina U.S.A.
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 nongaseous fuels to or from a foreign
country. The Department of State is
circulating this notification to
concerned federal agencies for
comment. The Department of State will
assess the U.S. national interest with
regard to permitting for the Vantage
pipeline border facilities in light of the
change in upstream ownership of the
Vantage Pipeline.
Consistent with Public Notice 5092,
(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 FR30990,
issued on May 31, 2005), the
Department typically does not conduct
environmental analysis when deciding
whether to issue a permit that reflects a
change in ownership or control of an
existing border facility, where that
change in ownership or control is not
accompanied by changes to the facilities
or their use as authorized by the existing
permit unless information is brought to
the Department’s attention in
connection with the application process
that the transfer potentially would have
a significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.
