SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

indicated in Public Notice 8640, on 

December 20, 2013, the Department of 

State (DOS) received from Plains 

Pipeline, L.P. (‘‘Plains Pipeline’’) notice 

that it has acquired the rights to operate 

and maintain a portion of the Poplar 

Pipeline in Sheridan County, Montana 

that is currently permitted under a 2007 

Presidential Permit issued in the name 

of two Plains Pipeline affiliates: PMC 

(Nova Scotia) Company and Plains 

Marketing Canada L.P., collectively 

(‘‘PMC’’). Plains Pipeline requests that a 

Presidential Permit be issued in its 

name with respect to the pipeline 

facilities. 

Plains Pipeline is a subsidiary of 

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. 

(Plains), a publically traded master 

limited partnership with headquarters 

in Houston, Texas. Plains is engaged in 

the transportation, storage, and 

marketing of crude oil, refined products, 

and natural gas-related petroleum 

products. 

The current Permit, issued in 2007 to 

PMC (Nova Scotia) Company and Plains 

Marketing Canada L.P., covers the 56.8- 

mile long Poplar Pipeline, previously 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices 21991 

called the Wascana Pipeline, which 

extends from the Murphy Oil terminal 

northeast of Poplar, Montana, to the 

international border near Raymond, 

Montana, and which was constructed 

pursuant to authorization in a 1972 

Permit issued to Wascana Pipeline Corp. 

Plains Pipeline has acquired an 

approximately 6.4-mile segment of the 

Poplar Pipeline extending from 

Raymond Station to the international 

border, repaired and replaced portions 

of the pipeline in that area, and 

installed two block valves. Plains 

Pipeline has submitted an application 

for a new Presidential Permit in its 

name and requests that the new Permit 

cover approximately 85 feet of pipeline 

facilities extending from a new block 

valve to the international border. Plains 

Pipeline has reported that it has 

separately constructed the Bakken North 

pipeline that extends from Trenton, 

North Dakota to Raymond Station, and 

that it intends to interconnect the 

Bakken North with the Poplar Pipeline 

in order to use the Poplar Pipeline 

border crossing to transport the Bakken 

North crude into Canada. 

Plains Pipeline has stated that, upon 

returning the upgraded pipeline 

facilities to service under the 2007 

Presidential Permit, Plains Pipeline will 

continue to operate the acquired 

facilities for the same purpose of 

transporting crude oil between the 

United States and Canada. It has further 

stated that the acquired pipeline 

facilities and the operation and 

maintenance thereof authorized by the 

2007 Permit will remain substantially 

the same as before the transfer of the 

facilities to Plains Pipeline. Plains 

Pipeline is not seeking authorization for 

new construction or a change in 

operations. 

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 fuels 

(except natural gas) 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 in 

light of Plains’ acquisition and 

continued operation of the pipeline 

facilities would serve the U.S. national 

interest. 

Plains Pipeline’s application is 

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