DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8258] 

Proposed Keystone XL Project; Public 

Meeting Following Release of the Draft 

Supplemental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting in 

Grand Island, Nebraska following 

release of the Draft Supplemental 

Impact Statement (SEIS) for the 

proposed Keystone XL project. 

SUMMARY: On March 1, the Department 

of State released the Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 

for the Presidential Permit application 

for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. 

The document is a draft technical 

review of potential environmental 

impacts. It does not make any 

recommendations on whether the 

pipeline border crossing should be 

approved or denied. 

Consistent with the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Department of State (the Department) is 

holding a public comment period. The 

45-day public comment period began on 

March 8. The Department has decided 

to hold a public meeting in conjunction 

with the public comment period. The 

Department will take into account 

public comments before the Draft SEIS 

is finalized. Once final, the document 

will help inform the U.S. government’s 

decision on whether the Keystone XL 

pipeline serves the national interest. 

Purpose of the Nebraska Meeting: The 

meeting in Grand Island, Nebraska is an 

opportunity for the public to provide 

comments on the Draft Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

express views on the proposed Keystone 

XL pipeline. Participants are 

encouraged to present information 

regarding the analysis in the Draft SEIS. 

The public meeting is a listening 

session: the Department of State will not 

be responding to questions or comments 

at the meeting. Written comments will 

also be accepted. 

The date, location, and time of the 

meeting are as follows: 

April 18, 2013 

Heartland Events Center, 700 East 

Stolley Park Rd., Grand Island, NE 

68801. 

12:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m., 4:00 p.m.–8:00 

p.m. 

Registration begins at 11:00 a.m. 

Procedures for the Public Meeting 

Speakers: All members of the public 

are welcome to attend the meeting and 

state their comments for the 

administrative record. Persons who 

want to speak at the meeting will need 

to sign up in person at the entrance of 

the meeting venue. Registration will 

begin at 11:00 a.m. Those wishing to 

speak must be present when their turn 

is called or they will forfeit their time. 

Comments: Remarks made at the 

meeting will be recorded, transcribed, 

and entered into the administrative 

record and taken into consideration as 

the Department prepares the Final SEIS 

for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. 

Each speaker will be allowed three 

minutes to make remarks, to allow the 

maximum number of people who sign 

up to speak. Speakers will be asked to 

state their name and any organization 

with which they are affiliated. 

Depending on attendance, it may not 

be possible for all those who sign up to 

have the opportunity to speak. The 

Department of State encourages 

individuals who do not have the 

opportunity to speak or who are unable 

to complete their comments in the 

allotted time to submit comments on the 

Draft Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement in written form. 

Department of State officials will be 

available to accept written comments at 

the meeting. A summary of all 

comments will be incorporated in an 

appendix to the final version of the 

SEIS. In order to ensure that comments 

are considered, all comments must be 

submitted before the 45-day comment 

period ends at midnight on April 22, 

2013. 

Presiding Officer: The meeting will be 

chaired by an official from the 

Department of State. At the beginning of 

the meeting, the presiding officer will 

explain the Department’s process for 

making a decision on the Permit, but 

will not respond to questions or 

comments. 

Protocol: We ask attendees to respect 

the meeting procedures to ensure a 

constructive information gathering 

session that enables the maximum 

number of participants to express their 

views. No signs or banners will be 

allowed inside the meeting venue and 

comments should be directed at the 

presiding officer rather than at other 

attendees. The presiding officer will use 

his/her discretion in order to ensure that 

the meeting is conducted in an orderly 

manner.
