SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The WHO 

ICF is a classification of health and 

health-related domains, including a list 

of body functions and a list of domains 

of activity and participation (see 

www.who.int/classification/icf/en/). The 

ICF for Children and Youth (ICF–CY) is 

a derived version of the ICF designed to 

record characteristics of the developing 

child and the influence of environments 

surrounding the child. The ICF and the 

ICF–CY reflect WHO’s framework for 

measuring health and disability at both 

individual and population levels. 

Multiple organizations have officially 

supported the ICF. 

• In May 2001, the 191 WHO Member 

States officially endorsed it for their use 

as the international standard to describe 

and measure health and disability. 

• The WHO members accepted ICF– 

CY on October 31, 2006. 

• The Institute of Medicine (IOM) 

supports the use of ICF to help 

standardize how agencies describe and 

measure different aspects of disability. 

In its 2007 report, ‘‘The Future of 

Disability in America,’’ the IOM 

encouraged Federal agencies involved 

in disability monitoring to adopt the ICF 

as their conceptual framework.2

• The Health Information Technology 

(HIT) Policy Committee, a public 

advisory body on HIT to the Office of 

the National Coordinator for Health 

Information Technology of the U.S. 

Department of Health & Human 

Services, recently recommended the 

ICF, along with Systematized 

Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical 

Terms (SNOMED–CT) and Logical 

Observation Identifiers Names and 

Codes (LOINC), for reporting clinical 

quality measures on the concept of 

functional status.3

We are studying several uses for ICF 

coding. We could use it, for example, to 

describe function in activities of daily 

living, to describe residual functional 

capacity (to satisfy a specific set of 

disability criteria), or to develop a 

compendium of job descriptions that 

includes mental and physical functional 

requirements. 

We invite comment on this notice 

from members of the public and from 

Federal agencies. We also request that 

Federal agencies involved in making 

disability assessments share information 

with us regarding their review of the ICF 

as a standard for coding functional 

capacity, and we invite them to 

collaborate with us in evaluation of the 

ICF for use in the business process for 

Federal disability programs.

Programs.

Enbridge by the DOS authorizing the 

construction, operation, and 

maintenance of the Line 67 (‘‘Line 67’’) 

Pipeline across the U.S.-Canada border. 

Enbridge requests an amendment to its 

permit in order to operate the Line 67

barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil with 

an average annual capacity of 800,000

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 1 / Wednesday, January 2, 2013 / Notices 145 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Enbridge 

is a limited partnership duly organized 

under the laws of the State of Delaware. 

Enbridge owns and operates the 

‘‘Lakehead System’’, the U.S. portion of 

an operationally integrated pipeline 

system which connects producers and 

shippers of crude oil and natural gas 

liquids in western Canada with markets 

in the United States and eastern Canada. 

Enbridge is a wholly owned subsidiary 

of Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. 

(‘‘Enbridge Partners’’), which is a 

Delaware master limited partnership 

headquartered at 1100 Louisiana, Suite 

3300, Houston, Texas 77002 (ph. 713– 

821–2000; www.enbridgepartners.com). 

Enbridge Partners provides pipeline 

transportation of petroleum and natural 

gas in the mid-continent and Gulf Coast 

regions of the United States, in addition 

to gathering, processing, and other 

related operations. 

The 2009 Presidential Permit that 

authorized the construction, operation 

and maintenance of Line 67 from the 

U.S.-Canada border near Neche, North 

Dakota to the first mainline shut-off 

valve in the United States, was issued 

following the DOS’s issuance of a Final 

Environmental Impact Study (‘‘FEIS’’) 

on June 5, 2009. Line 67 is a 36-inch 

pipeline that transports crude oil from 

Enbridge’s facilities in Hardisty, Alberta 

to an Enbridge terminal in Superior, 

Wisconsin (‘‘Superior Terminal’’). In the 

United States, Line 67 extends 326.9 

miles from the U.S.-Canada border 

through North Dakota, Minnesota and 

Wisconsin to the Superior Terminal. 

From there, the crude oil is transported 

primarily to Midwestern markets and 

mid-central and Gulf Coast markets, as 

well as points in the eastern United 

States and Canada. The U.S. portion of 

Line 67 facilities also consist of a total 

of 32 mainline valves with current 

pumping units located in Minnesota at 

stations in Clearbrook, Viking, and Deer 

River. 

While the Line 67 expansion would 

not require any modifications to the 

facilities at the border, Enbridge intends 

to increase the capacity of Line 67 in at 

least two stages. The capacity will 

initially be increased up to 570,000 bpd 

by adding horsepower to existing 

pumping units inside of the current 

footprint of Enbridge’s pump stations in 

Minnesota. Enbridge further seeks 

authority to increase the capacity from 

570,000 bpd to an average annual 

capacity of 800,000 bpd at a point in the 

future by constructing additional 

pumping units at Enbridge’s pump 

stations in Minnesota. 

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 to 

Enbridge in order to expand Line 67 

would be in the U.S. national interest. 

The Department of State intends to 

issue additional Federal Register 

notices inviting public comment on 

whether issuance of the requested 

amended Presidential Permit would be 

in the national interest, and addressing 

plans for reviewing the application 

consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act, the National 

Historic Preservation Act, the 

Endangered Species Act, and other 

relevant law, by preparing a 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement to the final EIS for the Alberta 

Clipper permit application, issued on 

June 5, 2009. A separate Notice of Intent 

to Prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement will 

follow this notice in due course. The 

application is available at http:// 

www.state.gov/e/enr.
