ACTION: Notice.

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

    Notice is hereby given that the Department of State has received an 
application from Valero Logistics Operations, L.P. (Valero) for a 
Presidential permit, pursuant to Executive Order 13337 of April 30, 
2004, authorizing the construction, connection, operation, and 
maintenance at the U.S.-Mexican border in the vicinity of Hidalgo, 
Texas of a liquid pipeline capable of carrying naphtha, and related 
pipeline facilities.
    Valero is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of 
the State of Texas and with its principal office located in San 
Antonio, Texas. The proposed new 8-inch diameter pipeline would

operated by Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), the Mexican national oil 
company. It is anticipated that initial contract deliveries of naphtha 
to Edinburg will be 24,000 barrels (one million gallons) per month.
    As required by E.O. 13337, the Department of State is circulating 
this application to concerned federal agencies for comment.
