DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 4171]


Notice of Receipt of Application for a Presidential Permit for 
Pipeline Facilities To Be Constructed and Maintained on the Border of 
the United States

AGENCY: Department of State, Office of International Energy and 
Commodities Policy.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has received an 
application from PMI Services North America, Inc. (PMI) for a 
Presidential permit, pursuant to Executive Order 11423 of August 16, 
1968, as amended by Executive Order 12847 of May 17, 1993, authorizing 
the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance at the U.S.-
Mexican border in the vicinity of Brownsville, Texas of a liquid 
pipeline capable of carrying refined petroleum products, including 
diesel, motor gasoline, jet fuel and liquefied petroleum gas, and 
related facilities.
    PMI is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the 
State of Delaware and with its principal office located in Houston, 
Texas. The proposed new 10-inch diameter pipeline would originate at an 
existing Transmontaigne Product Services, Inc. (TPSI) storage and 
distribution terminal at the Port of Brownsville, Texas and cover 
approximately 27 miles, crossing under the Rio Grande River and 
terminating at a currently existing PEMEX pipeline in Curva, Texas, 
Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is anticipated that initial deliveries of diesel 
to the United States will be approximately 10,000 barrels per day in 
Brownsville, but the pipeline capacity would be approximately 100,000 
barrels of liquid petroleum product per day in either direction.
    As required by E.O. 11423, the Department of State is circulating 
this application to concerned federal agencies for comment.

DATES: Interested parties are invited to submit, in duplicate, comments 
relative to this proposal on or before November 22, 2002, to Pedro 
Erviti, Office of International Energy and Commodities Policy, 
Department of State,
