[Docket No. RUS–20–ELECTRIC–0048] 

Financial Support for Transmission 

and Distribution Lines To Pump 

Stations 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 in 

Connection With the TransCanada 

Keystone XL Pipeline 

AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability of a 

Record of Decision. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) 

has prepared a Record of Decision. This 

Record of Decision (ROD) is for the 

construction of transmission and 

distribution lines and associated 

facilities to service five pump stations 

for the TransCanada XL Keystone 

Pipeline in South Dakota. By this notice, 

the RUS is announcing the availability 

of the Record of Decision. 

DATES: The Administrator of the Rural 

Utilities Service signed the Record of 

Decision on November 13, 2020. 

ADDRESSES: For copies of the ROD or for 

further information, contact: Dennis 

Rankin, email Dennis.Rankin@usda.gov. 

The ROD is available for review online 

at https: https://www.rd.usda.gov/ 

resources/environmental-studies. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline LP 

(Keystone) filed its original Presidential 

Permit application with the Department 

of State in 2008. An Environmental 

Impact Statement for the proposed 

pipeline project was finalized in August 

2011 (2011 EIS). The U.S. Department of 

State served as the Lead Federal 

Agency. In April 2012, Keystone 

proposed a new pipeline route in 

Nebraska to avoid the Sand Hills region 

of Nebraska, and in May 2012 applied 

for a second Presidential Permit. The 

Department of State evaluated the new 

proposed pipeline route as well as two 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
83884 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 23, 2020 / Notices 

alternative routes in its 2014 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (SEIS). The proposed 

alternative of the 2014 SEIS 

encompassed RUS’s action area. The 

Secretary of State issued the 

Presidential Permit in March 2017. 

In 2019, the Department of State 

supplemented the 2014 SEIS with the 

2019 SEIS to evaluate impacts of the 

proposed Mainline Alternative Route in 

Nebraska, a route modification to the 

2014 SEIS preferred alternative. The 

2019 SEIS also updated greenhouse gas 

and climate change analysis, revised the 

methodology for the accidental release 

analysis, updated the market analysis, 

evaluated new information related to 

cultural resources, and included an 

impact analysis specifically related to 

electrical power infrastructure. RUS, 

along with The U.S. Department of the 

Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the 

Western Area Power Administration 

(WAPA), has served as a Cooperating 

Agency in the 2011 EIS and the 2014 

and 2019 SEISs. 

RUS has considered a proposal from 

Grand Electric Cooperative, Inc. to 

provide distribution and transmission 

lines to supply power to pump stations 

15, 16, 17, and a proposal from West 

Central Electric Cooperative, Inc. to 

provide distribution and transmission 

lines to supply power to pump stations 

18 and 19. Pump stations 15–19 are 

located entirely within the State of 

South Dakota. The substations will be 

built by the cooperatives and/or WAPA 

and financed by Keystone. WAPA will 

provide for the interconnections for the 

transmission facilities for Pump 

Stations7, 18 and 19. 

RUS has adopted the 2014 and 2019 

SEISs, and the Record of Decision to 

support its financing decisions for 

transmission and distribution lines to 

supply pump stations in South Dakota. 

RUS’s actions related to providing 

financing for transmission and 

distribution for Pump Stations 15–19, 

were evaluated as connected actions 

related to TransCanada Keystone 

Pipeline, LP to proposal construct, 

operate, maintain, and (eventually) 

decommission the Keystone XL Pipeline 

in South Dakota. The Record of Decision 

was signed on November 13, 2020.
