DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8082] 

Application for a Presidential Permit 

To Operate and Maintain Pipeline 

Facilities on the Border of the United 

States and Canada 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of Receipt of Application 

for a Presidential Permit to Operate and 

Maintain Pipeline Facilities on the 

Border of the United States and Canada. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State (DOS) has 

received from NOVA Chemicals Inc. 

(‘‘NOVA Inc.’’) an application for reinstatement of a Presidential Permit 

authorizing the operation and 

maintenance of pipeline facilities to 

transport natural gas liquids (‘‘NGLs’’) 

extending from a block valve site in St. 

Clair County, Michigan, near the city of 

Marysville to the international border 

between the United States and Canada. 

NOVA Inc. is incorporated in the 

State of Delaware and is a whollyowned subsidiary of NOVA 

Corporation. NOVA Corporation is a 

company continued under the laws of 

the Province of New Brunswick, 

Canada. All of the issued and 

outstanding shares of NOVA 

Corporation are owned by a wholly 

owned subsidiary of the International 

Petroleum Investment Corporation 

(‘‘IPIC’’) which is wholly owned by the 

government of the Emirate of Abu 

Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. 

NOVA Inc. requests the permit to 

operate and maintain a pipeline (‘‘Line 

20’’) consisting of approximately 1350 

feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline as well 

as certain appurtenant facilities that can 

accommodate the transportation of up to 

65,000 barrels per day (‘‘bpd’’) of NGLs. 

NOVA Inc. intends to make use of the 

existing Line 20 pipeline facilities as 

one of the final links in a pipeline 

system that will transport NGLs (in 

particular, ethane) derived from gas 

produced in the Marcellus Shale play in 

Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and 

neighboring states to the international 

boundary under the St. Clair River and 

onward in the Province of Ontario, 

Canada, to a petrochemical complex 

located in Corunna, Ontario. Line 20 

was constructed in 1986 and owned by 

Polysar Hydrocarbons Inc. (‘‘Polysar’’) 

and its upstream owner, Polysar Energy 

and Chemical Corporation. 

Since 1995, the Line 20 facilities have 

been used pursuant to lease 

arrangements for the transportation of 

natural gas under Presidential Permits 

which the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission (‘‘FERC’’) issued to 

Bluewater Gas Storage, L.L.C. 

(‘‘Bluewater Gas Storage’’) and a 

predecessor. The lease under which 

Bluewater Gas Storage has been 

operating the Line 20 facilities includes 

a provision permitting its termination 

on not less than two years’ notice. 

NOVA Inc. provided Bluewater Gas 

Storage notice that the Line 20 facilities 

lease will terminate effective no later 

than January 27, 2013. Upon 

termination of the lease, possession and 

operation of the Line 20 facilities will 

revert to NOVA Inc., which proposes to 

convert the Line 20 facilities back to 

NGLs transportation service. 

The Department of State has 

concluded that the 1986 Presidential 

Permit expired as to the Line 20 

facilities when these were converted to 

a natural gas transportation service and 

operated pursuant to a Presidential 

Permit issued to Bluewater Gas Storage 

LLC., by FERC. Because NOVA intends 

to place Line 20 facilities back into 

natural gas liquids transportation 

service in 2013, NOVA is seeking 

reinstatement of the 1986 Presidential 

permit on Line 20 facilities with 

changes reflecting its ownership of the 

Line 20 facilities. 

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 application to concerned 

federal agencies for comment. The 

Department of State has the 

responsibility to determine whether 

issuance of a Presidential Permit 

reflecting the change in ownership or 

control of Line 20 and the reversion to 

transporting natural gas liquids would 

be in the U.S. national interest.

1Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing 

fee, which is currently set at $1,600. See 49 CFR 

1002.2(f)(25). 2Because CSXT is seeking to discontinue service, 

not to abandon the line, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not appropriate. Likewise, 

no environmental or historic documentation is 

required here under 49 CFR 1105.6(c) and 49 CFR 

1105.8(b), respectively.

Presidential Permit reflecting the 

corporate succession and authorizing 

NOVA, Inc. to operate and maintain

interest. The application is available at

Notice of Availability of a Finding of No 

Significant Impact for the Port of Guam 

Modernization Program 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Maritime 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of the 

Finding of No Significant Impact for the 

Port of Guam Modernization Program. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this Notice is 

to make available to the public the 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI) derived from the 

Environmental Assessment (EA) 

regarding the Port of Guam 

Modernization Program (Program). 

The objective of this Program is to 

improve or replace existing port 

facilities, reconfigure operations, 

expand storage capacity, and upgrade 

existing infrastructure. Specifically, the 

proposed action would construct a new 

break-bulk terminal area in the western 

portion of the terminal yard. A non-port 

operations area would be developed east 

of the proposed new break-bulk 

terminal to improve efficiency and 

security. New entrance and exit gates 

would be constructed to increase 

processing efficiency and reduce truck 

queuing times. Some existing buildings 

would be demolished, expanded, and/or 

refurbished and new buildings would be 

constructed. Deteriorating or failing 

utilities would be upgraded or replaced. 

Oil/water separators would be installed 

in storm water outfalls into the harbor. 

New safety and security improvements 

would be constructed.
