DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7422] 

Notice of Availability of the 

Supplemental Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline 

Project 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: Consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, the Department of 

State (DOS) has prepared a 

supplemental draft environmental 

impact statement (SDEIS) for the 

proposed TransCanada Keystone 

Pipeline, LP (TransCanada) Keystone XL 

Project (Project). On September 19, 

2008, TransCanada filed an application 

for a Presidential Permit for the 

construction, connection, operation, and 

maintenance of a pipeline and 

associated facilities at the border of the 

U.S. and Canada for the transport of 

crude oil across the U.S.-Canada 

international boundary. The Secretary of 

State is designated and empowered to 

receive all applications for Presidential 

Permits, as referred to in Executive 

Order 13337, as amended, for the 

construction, connection, operation, or 

maintenance, at the borders of the 

United States, of facilities for the 

exportation or importation of petroleum, 

petroleum products, coal, or other fuels 

to or from a foreign country. 

TransCanada has requested 

authorization to construct and operate 

border crossing facilities at the U.S.- 

Canadian border in Phillips County, 

near Morgan, Montana, in connection 

with its proposed international pipeline 

project (Keystone XL Project) that is 

designed to transport Canadian crude 

oil production from the Western 

Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) to 

destinations in the south central United 

States, including to a new tank farm in 

Cushing, Oklahoma, and to delivery 

points in the Port Arthur and East 

Houston areas of Texas. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOS 

served as the lead Federal agency for the 

environmental review of the proposed 

Project consistent with NEPA, and 

issued a draft environmental impact 

statement (draft EIS) for public review 

on April 16, 2010. The Federal and state 

agencies that served as cooperating 

agencies in the development of the draft 

EIS include the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture—Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, Farm Service 

Agency, and Rural Utilities Service; the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the U.S. 

Department of Energy, Western Area 

Power Administration; the U.S. 

Department of the Interior—Bureau of 

Land Management, National Park 

Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service; the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration, Office 

of Pipeline Safety; the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency; and 

the Montana Department of 

Environmental Quality. Cooperating 

agencies either have jurisdiction by law 

or special expertise with respect to the 

environmental impacts assessed in 

connection with the proposal and are 

participating with DOS in analysis of 

those environmental impacts. 

The public comment period for the 

draft EIS officially closed on July 2, 

2010. DOS accepted written comments 

and verbal comments presented at over 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

of a transaction whereby newly created noncarrier 

subsidiaries of RailAmerica Transportation Corp., 

are acquiring the rail assets of certain subsidiaries 

of Gulf & Ohio Railways, Inc. 

20 public comment meetings held along 

the proposed pipeline route in Montana, 

South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and 

Texas, as well as in Washington, DC. As 

a result, over 8,000 separate comments 

were received and reviewed. In an 

adequacy assessment of the draft EIS, 

DOS determined that no new issues of 

substance emerged from the comments 

received. However, after the draft EIS 

was issued, additional and updated 

information became available related to 

the proposed Project and its potential 

impacts on the environment. Although 

the adequacy determination for the draft 

EIS indicated that it would not be 

mandatory to issue a supplemental 

document to comply with NEPA, DOS 

decided that decision-makers and the 

public would benefit from additional 

public review of, and comment on, both 

the information that was not available at 

the time the draft EIS was issued and 

the portions of the EIS that were revised 

to address the new information and 

comments on the draft EIS. 

The SDEIS includes revised 

information on the proposed Project 

facilities, including design, 

construction, and maintenance; 

additional regulatory requirements; and 

additional potential connected actions. 

The SDEIS includes additional 

information on existing groundwater 

conditions and potential impacts to 

groundwater that could result from an 

accidental discharge from the proposed 

Project, expanded information on the 

potential impacts of an accidental 

discharge from the proposed Project, 

additional alternatives to the proposed 

Project, and expanded environmental 

justice considerations. The SDEIS also 

includes additional information on the 

composition of crude oils that would be 

transported by the proposed Project in 

comparison to other heavy crude oils, 

potential refinery emissions, and 

greenhouse gas (GHG) and climate 

change considerations. Appendices to 

the SDEIS include copies of new reports 

and other documents relevant to the 

proposed Project, petroleum market 

impacts, lifecycle GHG emissions, and 

additional requirements for pipeline 

construction, operation, maintenance, 

and inspection. 

Copies of the SDEIS have been mailed 

to interested Federal, state and local 

agencies; public interest groups; 

individuals and affected landowners 

who requested a copy of the SDEIS; 

libraries; newspapers; and other 

stakeholders. A list of public libraries to 

which copies of the SDEIS have been 

mailed is available online at http:// 

www.keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov. If 

you would like to request that a copy be 

sent to a public library not already on 

this list or to an organization involved 

with the Project, please e-mail 

YuanAW@state.gov. Copies will be 

mailed while supplies last. 

Comment Procedures: Any person 

wishing to comment on the SDEIS may 

do so. DOS requests that comments be 

limited to the subject matter addressed 

in this SDEIS. DOS will only respond to 

comments that directly address 

information provided in the SDEIS. DOS 

will consider only those comments 

received by the end of the comment 

period during preparation of the final 

EIS. To ensure consideration prior to 

issuance of the final EIS (a prerequisite 

to a DOS decision on the proposal), it 

is important that DOS receive your 

comments no later than June 6, 2011 (45 

days after publication of this notice). 

Comments on the SDEIS can be 

submitted to DOS using any of the 

following methods: 

• DOS Keystone XL Project Web site: 

http://www.keystonepipelinexl.state.gov. 

• E-mail to: keystonexl@cardno.com. 

• Mail to: Keystone XL EIS Project, 

P.O. Box 96503–98500, Washington, DC 

20090–6503. 

• Fax: 206–269–0098. 

Comments received will be included in 

the Administrative Record without 

change and may, at the sole discretion 

of DOS, be made available on-line at 

http://www.keystonepipelinexl.state.gov, including any personal 

information provided, unless the 

commenter indicates that the comment 

includes information claimed to be 

confidential business information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. If you submit an 

electronic comment, we recommend 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If we cannot read your 

comment because of technical 

difficulties and cannot contact you for 

clarification, we may not be able to 

consider your comment. Electronic 

comments should avoid the use of any 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

DOS will publish and distribute a 

final EIS that will contain responses to 

timely and relevant comments received 

on the SDEIS, as well as to the 

comments on the draft EIS that were 

previously submitted to DOS. The final 

EIS will also include text revised in 

response to comments on the draft EIS 

and the SDEIS. From the date of 

issuance of the final EIS, the public will 

have 30 days to comment and 

cooperating agencies will have 90 days 

to comment before DOS makes a 

determination under Executive Order 

13337 on whether issuance of this 

permit is in the U.S. national interest. 

DOS will host a public meeting in 

Washington, DC following issuance of 

the final EIS.
