SUMMARY:
On November 6, 2015, the Department of State announced the Secretary of State's determination under Executive Order 13337 that issuing a Presidential Permit to TransCanada Keystone Pipeline LP ("TransCanada") for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline's border facilities would not serve the national interest, and denied the Permit application.
