maintain existing pipeline facilities at 

the border of the United States and

international border between the United 

States and Canada underneath the 

Detroit River to the first block valve in 

the United States, located at a point 

onshore in Detroit, Michigan. The 

United States facilities also include 

certain appurtenant facilities. 

This permit is subject to the following

the discretion of the Secretary of State 

or the Secretary’s delegate or upon 

proper application therefor. The 

permittee shall make no substantial 

change in the United States facilities, 

the location of the United States 

facilities, or in the operation authorized 

by this permit until such changes have 

been approved by the Secretary of State 

or the Secretary’s delegate. 

(2) The connection, operation and

Article 2. The standards for, and the 

manner of, the operation and

such agencies free and unrestricted

maintenance in accordance with such 

limitations, terms, and conditions. Such 

limitations, terms, and conditions could

the Commissioner of Customs and 

Border Protection immediately if it

United States facilities and every part 

thereof in a condition of good repair for 

their safe operation, and in compliance
