Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2016 / Notices
The U.S. Department of State
(Department) is issuing this notice to
advise the public that on June 10, 2016
the Department approved a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) based on
the Final Environmental Assessment
(Final EA) for the NuStar Burgos
Pipeline Projects Presidential Permit
Applications Review. The Department
prepared the Final EA consistent with
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.),
the regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) (40 CFR
parts 1500–1508), and the Department’s
implementing regulations (22 CFR part
161). The Department has determined
the proposed action would not have a
significant effect on the environment
and therefore, the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement is not
required. The FONSI is not a decision
on the Presidential Permit applications.
In accordance with Executive Order
(E.O.) 13337, the Department will now
proceed to make a determination as to
whether issuance of Presidential
Permits for NuStar Logistics, L.P.’s
proposed cross-border pipeline facilities
projects would serve the national
interest. That determination process
involves consideration of many factors,
including foreign policy; energy
security; environmental, cultural, and
economic impacts; compliance with
applicable law and regulations; and
other issues.
DATES: The FONSI and Final EA are
available as of the publication date of
this notice.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the FONSI and
Final EA are available at the following:
• McAllen Public Library, 4001 N. 23rd
St., McAllen, TX 78504
• https://www.state.gov/e/enr/applicant/

Copies of the FONSI and Final EA
may also be requested by email at
NuStarBurgosReview@state.gov or by
mail from: Burgos Project Manager,
Office of Environmental Quality and
Transboundary Issues (OES/EQT): Suite
2726, U.S. Department of State, 2201 C
Street NW., Washington, DC 20520.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department evaluates Presidential
permit applications under E.O. 13337
and E.O. 14432. E.O. 13337 delegates to
the Secretary of State the President’s
authority to receive applications for
permits for the construction,
connection, operation, or maintenance
of facilities for the exportation or
importation of petroleum, petroleum
products, coal, or other fuels (except for
natural gas), at the borders of the United
States, and to issue or deny such

Presidential Permits upon a national
interest determination.
In December 2014, NuStar submitted
two applications to the Department. The
first application requests a new
Presidential Permit to replace a 2006
Presidential Permit, that would: (1)
Reflect NuStar’s name change from
Valero Logistics Operations, L.P. to
NuStar Logistics, L.P. as the owner and
operator of the 34-mile-long 8-inch
outer diameter pipeline and border
facilities for which NuStar was issued a
Presidential Permit in 2006 (Existing
Burgos Pipeline) for the import and
export of light naphtha and (2) authorize
the Existing Burgos Pipeline to transport
a broader range of petroleum products
than previously authorized, including
diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, liquefied
petroleum gas, and natural gas liquids.
The second application requests that the
Department issue a Presidential Permit
for construction, connection, operation,
and maintenance of a new 10-inch outer
diameter pipeline and associated
facilities in the same right of way as the
Existing Burgos Pipeline. The second
application also requests authorization
for this new pipeline and associated
facilities to transport the same range of
products requested under the first
permit application for the Existing
Burgos Pipeline. Both pipelines would
connect the Petroleos Mexicanos
(PEMEX) Burgos Gas Plant near
Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico and the
NuStar terminal near Edinburg, Texas in
Hidalgo County, Texas at the United
States-Mexico border.

Union Pacific Railroad Company—
Discontinuance of Trackage Rights
Exemption—in Pierce County, Wash.
Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP)
has filed a verified notice of exemption
under 49 CFR part 1152 subpart F—
Exempt Abandonments and
Discontinuances of Service to
discontinue approximately 0.6 miles of
overhead trackage rights over a line of
railroad of BNSF Railway Company
(BNSF), between ‘‘Bullfrog Junction’’
near BNSF’s Puyalloy River Bridge 8.78
and the point of connection with
BNSF’s Seattle Division main line at
River Street Interlocking, BNSF
milepost 38.94X, in Tacoma, Wash. (the
Line).1 The Line traverses United States
Postal Service Zip Code 98421.
1 UP was granted trackage rights over the Line in
Union Pac. R.R.—Trackage Rights Exemption—
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:04 Jun 15, 2016
Jkt 238001
UP has certified that (1) no local
traffic has moved over the Line for at
least two years; (2) any overhead traffic
can be rerouted over other lines; (3) no
formal complaint filed by a user of rail
service on the Line (or by a state or local
government entity acting on behalf of
such user) regarding cessation of service
on the Line is pending either with the
Board or with any U.S. District Court or
has been decided in favor of
complainant within the two-year period;
and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR
1105.12 (newspaper publication), and
49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to
governmental agencies) have been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
must be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued
rail service has been received, this
exemption will be effective on July 16,
2016, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues and
formal expressions of intent to file an
OFA to subsidize continued rail service
under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2) 2 must be
filed by June 27, 2016.3 Petitions to
reopen must be filed by July 6, 2016,
with the Surface Transportation Board,
395 E Street SW., Washington, DC
20423–0001.
A copy of any petition filed with the
Board should be sent to UP’s
representative: Jeremy M. Berman, 1400
Douglas St., #1580, Omaha, NE 68179.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at
‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.’’
Decided: June 13, 2016.
BNSF Ry., FD 34881 (STB served June 20, 2006). UP
states that BNSF terminated the trackage rights
agreement effective May 30, 2016.
2 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing
fee, which currently is set at $1,600. See 49 CFR
1002.2(f)(25).
3 Because this is a discontinued proceeding and
not an abandonment, interim trail use/rail banking
and public use conditions are not appropriate.
Because there will be an environmental review
during abandonment, this discontinuance does not
require an environmental review.
