The Public Utilities Commission gets comments from the public Tuesday evening in Pierre on the $920 million, 313-mile stretch of the Keystone XL pipeline that TransCanada Keystone plans to build across western and south central South Dakota.

It will be the fourth public hearing before the PUC as part of the Keystone XL proceeding. Earlier hearings were held in April in Winner, Philip and Buffalo.

Tuesday's session is a component of the Keystone XL Pipeline permit application hearing scheduled to end Friday.

Keystone XL would deliver up to 900,000 barrels of crude oil a day through a 36-inch pipe running from near Hardisty, Alberta, to Texas terminals near Port Arthur and Houston.
