This permit supersedes and revokes the Presidential permit issued previously, dated July 29, 2020. See 85 Fed. Reg. 47005 (Aug. 3, 2020) (notice of Presidential permit). This permit does not affect the applicability of any otherwise-relevant laws and regulations. As confirmed in Article 2 of this permit, the Border facilities shall remain subject to all such laws and regulations. The term “Facilities” as used in this permit means the portion in the United States of the international pipeline project associated with the permittee's November 6, 2024, application for an amendment to its existing permit, and any land, structures, installations, or equipment appurtenant thereto.

This permit is subject to the following conditions: Article 1.

The permittee shall make no substantial change in the Border facilities, in the location of the Border facilities, or in the operation authorized by this permit unless the President has approved the change in an amendment to this permit or in a new permit. Such substantial changes do not include, and the permittee may make, changes to the average daily throughput capacity of the Border facilities to any volume of products that is achievable through the Border facilities, and to the directional flow of any such products. Article 2. The standards for, and the manner of, operation and maintenance of the Border facilities shall be subject to inspection by the representatives ( printed page 29406) of appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies.
