DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5812]


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

    The Department of State has received an application from Enbridge 
Energy Limited Partnership (``EELP'') for a Presidential permit, 
pursuant to Executive Order 13337 of April 30, 2004, to construct, 
connect, operate, and maintain a 36-inch diameter crude oil and liquid 
hydrocarbon pipeline at the U.S.-Canadian border at Neche, Pembina 
County, North Dakota, for the purpose of transporting liquid 
hydrocarbons and other petroleum products between the United States and 
Canada. EELP seeks this authorization in connection with its Alberta 
Clipper Pipeline Project (``Alberta Clipper Project''), which is 
designed to transport Canadian crude oil from the Western Canadian 
Sedimentary Basin (``WCSB'') to existing refinery markets in the 
Midwest region of the United States.
    EELP is a limited partnership duly organized under the laws of the 
State of Delaware. EELP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enbridge Energy 
Partners, L.P. (``Enbridge Partners'') which is a Delaware master 
limited partnership headquartered at 1100 Louisiana St., Suite 3300, 
Houston, Texas 7702. According to the application, Enbridge Partners is 
a publicly held limited partnership with shares traded on the New York 
Stock Exchange. According to the description in EEPL's application, the 
proposed new border crossing would consist of approximately forty (40) 
feet of pipeline on each side of the international boundary, which 
would be buried to a minimum depth of three (3) feet below ground 
level; the border crossing would be part of the Alberta Clipper 
Project, which would consist in the United States of 326 miles of 36-
inch diameter pipeline from the U.S.-Canadian border at Pembina County, 
North Dakota, to the existing Enbridge Superior tank farm and terminal 
facilities in Douglas County, Wisconsin.
    As required by E.O. 13337, the Department of State is circulating 
this application to concerned Federal agencies for comment.
