the United States. 

Consistent with the determination in 

Section 10 of Executive Order 13224 

that ‘‘prior notice to persons determined 

to be subject to the Order who might 

have a constitutional presence in the 

United States would render ineffectual 

the blocking and other measures 

authorized in the Order because of the 

ability to transfer funds 

instantaneously,’’ I determine that no 

prior notice needs to be provided to any 

person subject to this determination 

who might have a constitutional 

presence in the United States, because 

to do so would render ineffectual the 

measures authorized in the Order. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Dated: April 16, 2013.

Secretary of State.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8328] 

Notice of Availability of Finding of No 

Significant Impact for the Proposed 

Vantage Pipeline US LP Ethane 

Pipeline Project 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is 

to inform the public of the availability 

of the Department of State’s Finding of 

No Significant Impact on the proposed 

Vantage Pipeline US LP Ethane Pipeline 

Project. Under E.O. 13337, the Secretary 

of State is authorized to issue 

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 

non-gaseous fuels to or from a foreign 

country. Vantage Pipeline US LP 

(Vantage) has applied to the Department 

of State (the Department) for a 

Presidential Permit authorizing it to 

develop and maintain a new pipeline 

facility at the U.S.-Canada international 

boundary, a Cross Border Facility, near 

Fortuna, Divide County, North Dakota. 

Vantage proposes to construct, 

operate, and maintain a high vapor 

pressure pipeline that would carry 

ethane from a source near Tioga, North 

Dakota, United States, northwest 

through Saskatchewan, Canada, to a site 

near Empress, Alberta, Canada. The 

pipeline would link a growing supply of 

ethane from North Dakota to markets in 

Alberta, Canada. The entire proposed 

Vantage Pipeline in the United States 

would consist of the installation of 

approximately 79.8 miles of new 10- 

inch-diameter pipeline in Williams and 

Divide Counties, North Dakota; the 

installation of associated aboveground 

mainline block valves; and the use of 

access roads and pipe storage and 

contractor yards. 

Consistent with NEPA (42 U.S.C. 

4321, et seq.), the regulations of the 

Council on Environmental Quality (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), and the 

Department’s implementing regulations 

(22 CFR part 161, and in particular 22 

CFR 161.7(c)), the Department of State 

has found that issuance of a Presidential 

Permit authorizing the construction, 

connection, operation, and maintenance 

of the Cross Border Facility would not 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment. The Finding 

of No Significant Impact was signed by 

the Department on May 13, 2013. 

This Finding of No Significant Impact 

is not a decision on the Presidential 

Permit application. In accordance with 

E.O. 13337, the Department will now 

proceed to make a determination as to 

whether issuance of a Presidential 

Permit for the border facilities of 

Vantage’s proposed Ethane Pipeline 

Project would serve the national 

interest. 

The Finding of No Significant Impact 

is available from the Department on the 

Vantage Pipeline Project Web site. The
