DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 7569] 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Proposed Keystone XL Project; 

Public Meetings 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of Public Meetings 

following the final Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Proposed 

Keystone XL Project. 

SUMMARY: Following the release of the 

final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, 

Executive Order 13337 calls on the 

Secretary of State, or her designee, to 

determine if issuance of a Presidential 

Permit to the applicant would serve the 

national interest. This decision on the 

application will take into account a 

wide range of factors, including 

environmental, economic, energy 

security, foreign policy, and pipeline 

safety concerns. No decision will be 

made until the completion of this 

thorough review process. The 

Department expects to make a decision 

on whether to grant or deny the Permit 

before the end of the year. 

If built, the Keystone XL pipeline 

would carry crude oil from Canada and 

from U.S. oil fields in North Dakota and 

Montana to refineries primarily on the 

Gulf Coast of the United States. As part 

of the review and analysis of the 

national interest, the U.S. Department of 

State will hold a series of public 

meetings, and provide other 

opportunities for the public to comment 

on the project. Along with other factors 

listed above, these comments will be 

considered in the final decision. 

Meetings will be held at the following 

dates, locations and times (all meeting 

times are local time):

Procedures for Public Meetings 

Speakers: All members of the public 

are welcome to attend the meetings 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 and be given a 

number. The order of speakers will be 

determined on a first-come, first-served 

basis, according to the sign-up sheet. 

Those wishing to speak must be present 

when their name or number is called or 

they will forfeit their time. 

Comments: Remarks made at the 

meetings will be recorded, transcribed, 

and entered into the administrative 

record for the State Department’s 

consideration of the proposed Keystone 

XL pipeline. Each speaker will be 

allowed 3–5 minutes to make remarks, 

depending on the 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 State 

Department 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 national interest 

determination in written form. A State 

Department official will be available to 

accept written comments, and a 

summary of all comments will be 

incorporated in the record of decision 

for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. 

The Department will also accept written 

comments on the national interest 

determination beginning on the date the 

final Environmental Impact Statement is 

issued. In order to ensure that 

comments are processed and considered 

before the decision is made on the 

permit application, all comments must 

be submitted by midnight on October 9, 

2011. 

Purpose: These meetings are an 

opportunity for the public to express 

views on all aspects of the proposed 

Keystone XL pipeline. Participants are 

encouraged to recount information 

illustrating their view about whether the 

issuance of a Presidential Permit for the 

Keystone XL pipeline project is in the 

U.S. national interest. 

Presiding Officer: The meetings will 

be chaired by a senior official from the 

U.S. Department of State. At the 

beginning of the meeting, the presiding 

officer will explain the status of the 

application for the permit and the 

Department’s process for making a 

decision on the Permit, but will not 

answer questions. The presiding officer 

or an assistant will announce the name 

of each speaker from the sign-up list. 

Protocol: We ask attendees to respect 

the meeting procedures in order to 

ensure a constructive information 

gathering session. No signs or banners 

will be allowed inside the meeting 

venue. The presiding officer will use 

his/her discretion to conduct the 

meeting in an orderly manner.

proposed Project and up-to-date
