Notice of Receipt of Kinder Morgan 

Cochin, LLC, Application for a 

Presidential Permit To Operate and 

Maintain Pipeline Facilities on the 

Border of the United States and 

Canada 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice of Receipt of Kinder 

Morgan Cochin, LLC, Application for a 

Presidential Permit To Operate and 

Maintain Pipeline Facilities on the 

Border of the United States and Canada. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State (DOS) has 

received from Kinder Morgan Cochin, 

LLC (‘‘KM Cochin’’) notice that by way 

of corporate succession, KM Cochin 

now owns, operates, and maintains 

pipeline facilities (‘‘Cochin Pipeline’’) 

previously owned by Dome Pipeline 

Corporation (‘‘Dome Pipeline’’) and 

permitted under a 1974 Presidential 

Permit issued to Dome Pipeline. KM 

Cochin requests a new Presidential 

Permit be issued under its name with 

respect to the Cochin Pipeline. 

KM Cochin is a Delaware limited 

liability company with its principal 

office at 500 Dallas Street Suite 1000, 

Houston, TX 77002. It is engaged in the 

interstate, intrastate and international 

transportation by pipeline of light liquid 

hydrocarbons, including transportation 

of light liquid hydrocarbons between 

the United States and Canada on the 

Cochin Pipeline crossing the border of 

North Dakota and Saskatchewan. KM 

Cochin is an indirectly wholly owned 

subsidiary of KMP, a Delaware master 

limited partnership listed on the NYSE 

as ‘‘KMP’’, with its principal office at 

500 Dallas Street, Suite 1000, Houston, 

TX 77002. The general partner of KMP 

is Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., (‘‘KMGP’’) 

a Delaware corporation, which is owned 

by Kinder Morgan, Inc., (‘‘KMI’’, as 

listed on the NYSE), a Delaware 

corporation. KMP is owned by KMI 

through common and class B limited 

partner units, by KMG though its 1% 

general partner interest, and by public 

investors as limited partners holding 

common units purchased on the NYSE. 

Dome Pipeline built, operated and 

maintained the pipeline pursuant to the 

1974 Permit from the date the Permit 

was issued until March 15, 2007, when 

Dome Petroleum Corp., a North Dakota 

corporation with principal offices in 

Bismarck, North Dakota, sold Dome 

Pipeline, its former subsidiary, to 

Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. ‘‘A’’ 

(‘‘KMOLPA’’), a Delaware limited 

partnership and affiliate of Kinder 

Morgan Energy Partners LP, (‘‘KMP’’), a 

Delaware limited partnership, both with 

principal offices in Houston, Texas. 

Following the sale, Dome Pipeline was 

converted from a Delaware corporation 

to a Delaware limited liability company 

and merged into KM Cochin, which is 

now the legal name of the former Dome 

Pipeline Corporation. Since March 15, 

2007, KM Cochin has owned, operated 

and maintained the Cochin Pipeline in 

compliance with all the terms and 

conditions of the previously issued 

Permit. 

The Cochin Pipeline is a 1,819 mile, 

12-inch diameter pipeline that 

originates in Fort Saskatchewan, 

Alberta, and terminates at Windsor, 

Ontario. Cochin is presently approved 

by the Department of Transportation’s 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration (PHMSA) to operate at a 

pressure of 1,000 psi, and is able to 

transport up to 95,000 barrels per day of 

light liquid hydrocarbons. Currently, the 

pipeline is used to move propane from 

Alberta to distribution terminals in the 

United States and Windsor, Ontario. A 

planned Cochin reversal project will 

involve reversing the flow of petroleum 

liquids so that shippers will be able to 

ship condensate from the United States 

westward for delivery into Canada. 

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 

reflecting the change in ownership or 

control of the Cochin Pipeline would be 

in the U.S. national interest. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit comments within 30 days of the 

publication date of this notice by email 

to 

KinderMorganCochinpermit@state.gov 

with regard to whether issuing a new 

Presidential Permit reflecting the 

corporate succession and authorizing 

KM Cochin to operate and maintain the 

Cochin Pipeline would be in the 

national interest. The application is 

available at http://www.state.gov/e/enr.

List of Units of the National Park 

System Exempt From the Provisions of 

the National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act 

AGENCIES: Federal Aviation 

Administration, Transportation; 

National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: List of Exempt Parks. 

SUMMARY: The National Parks Air Tour 

Management Act (NPATMA) requires 

the Federal Aviation Administration 

(FAA) and National Park Service (NPS) 

to develop an air tour management plan 

for units of the national park system 

where an operator has requested 

authority to provide commercial air 

tours. The FAA Modernization and 

Reform Act of 2012 amended various 

provisions of NPATMA. One provision 

exempted national park units with 50 or 

fewer annual flights from the provisions 

of NPATMA and requires FAA and NPS 

to jointly publish a list of exempt parks. 

This notice includes an initial list of 

parks that are exempt from the 

provisions of the NPATMA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Authority for New Requirements 

1. NPATMA (Pub. L. 106–181, 

codified at 49 U.S.C. 40128) requires the 

FAA and NPS to develop an air tour 

management plan for units of the 

national park system where an operator 

has requested authority to provide 

commercial air tours. The FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(2012 Act) amended various provisions 

of NPATMA. 

2. This Federal Register Notice 

addresses the following 2012 Act 

amendment provisions: 

a. Exempt national park units that 

have 50 or fewer commercial air tour 

operations each year from the 

requirements of NPATMA. 

b. Authorize NPS to withdraw the 

exemption if necessary to protect 

resources and values or visitor use and 

enjoyment. 

c. Require FAA and NPS to publish a 

list each year of national parks covered 

by the exemption. 

II. Initial List of Exempt Parks 

1. This list is based on interim 

operating authority (IOA) data available 

to FAA and NPS. At these parks, the 

current combined IOA of all air tour 

operators is 50 operations or less 

annually. Exempt parks are as follows: 

Big Bend National Park, TX 

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, 

CO 

Capulin Volcano National Monument, NM 

Carlsbad Caverns National Park, NM 

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, AZ 

Coronado National Memorial, AZ 

Devils Tower National Monument, WY 

Dinosaur National Monument, UT/CO 

El Malpais National Monument, NM 

El Morro National Monument, NM 

Fort Bowie National Historic Site, AZ 

Fort Davis National Historic Site, TX 

Fort Union National Monument, NM 

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, NM 

Great Sand Dunes National Park and 

Preserve, CO 

Guadalupe Mountains National Park, NM 

Hohokam Pima National Monument, AZ 

Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, 

AZ 

Kings Canyon National Park, CA 

Mojave National Preserve, CA 

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, AZ

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, 

NM 

San Juan Island National Historical Park, WA 

Sequoia National Park, CA 

Tumacacori National Historic Park, AZ 

Walnut Canyon National Monument, AZ 

Wupatki National Monument, AZ 

2. The list of exempt parks published 

in this notice is based on IOA 

operational numbers only, since this is 

the only data currently available to FAA 

and NPS on the number of air tour 

operations at parks. NPS is authorized 

to withdraw a park from the exempt list 

if NPS determines that an air tour 

management plan or a voluntary 

agreement is necessary to protect park 

resources and values or park visitor use 

and enjoyment. Pursuant to the 2012 

Act, the NPS shall inform the FAA in 

writing of each determination to 

withdraw an exemption. 

III. List of Exempt Parks for Future 

Years 

The FAA and NPS will publish a list 

of exempt parks annually. The list could 

change from year to year since parks 

may be added to or removed from the 

exempt list based on the previous year’s 

number of annual operations or if NPS 

withdraws an exempted park. In order 

to continue to be exempt, a park must 

have 50 or fewer annual commercial air 

tour operations in any given calendar 

year. At parks that lose exempt status, 

operators will return to IOA 

requirements until an air tour 

management plan or a voluntary 

agreement has been established.
