DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8101] 

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 an application from Plains LPG 

Services, L.P. (‘‘Plains LPG’’) to operate 

and maintain pipeline facilities it has 

acquired at the U.S.-Canada border (the 

EDS Pipeline border facilities). The EDS 

pipeline, a single 10 inch diameter pipe, 

crosses the United States- Canada 

border underneath the Detroit River, 

between Detroit Michigan in the United 

States and the city of Windsor, in 

Ontario, Canada. The EDS pipeline was 

one of two parallel pipelines and an 

electric cable that were constructed by 

American Brine, Inc., and operated, and 

maintained most recently by Dome 

Petroleum pursuant to earlier 

Presidential Permits. Plains LPG 

requests issuance of a new permit 

reflecting its acquisition and sole 

ownership of the EDS Pipeline border 

facilities and allowing Plains LPG to 

operate and maintain those facilities for 

use in transporting liquefied 

hydrocarbons. The Plains application 

will supersede a joint application made 

by Dome Petroleum Corporation and 

Kinder Morgan Cochin, LLC on June 7, 

2010 as it relates to the EDS Pipeline 

border facilities. 

Plains LPG is a Texas limited 

partnership with its principle place of 

business at 333 Clay Street, Suite 1600, 

Houston Texas, 77002. Plains LPG is a 

subsidiary of Plains All American 

Pipeline, L.P. (‘‘Plains’’), a publicly 

traded master limited partnership 

organized under the laws of the State of 

Delaware and headquartered in 

Houston, Texas. 

Plains LPG acquired the EDS Pipeline 

following the indirect acquisition of 

Dome Petroleum LLC (formerly known 

as Dome Petroleum Corp.) by Plains 

LPG’s affiliate, Plains Midstream 

Canada ULC (Plains Midstream). 

Specifically, Plains Midstream acquired 

BP Canada Energy Corporation, which 

owned Dome Petroleum LLC. 

Immediately following the acquisition 

by Plains Midstream, Dome Petroleum 

LLC became Plains Midstream Superior 

LLC, which subsequently merged with 

Plains LPG. That acquisition and merger 

resulted in the allocation and transfer of 

the EDS Pipeline border facilities to 

Plains LPG. 

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 new Presidential Permit 

reflecting the change in ownership or 

control of the EDS Pipeline border 

facilities would be in the U.S. national 

interest. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit comments not later than 30 days 

after the publication date of this notice 

by email to 

Plainslpgservicespermit@state.gov with 

regard to whether issuing a new 

Presidential Permit reflecting the 

corporate succession and authorizing 

Plains LPG to operate and maintain the 

EDS Pipeline border facilities would be 

in the national interest. The application 

is available at http://www.state.gov/e/ 

enr/c52945.htm.
