Authorizing the General Services Administration To Modernize, Expand, and Continue To Operate and Maintain a Pedestrian and Vehicular International Border Crossing at the Lan Luis I Land Port of Entry

This Presidential Permit authorizes the General Services Administration to modernize, expand, and continue operating the San Luis I Land Port of Entry on the U.S.-Mexico border in San Luis, Arizona. The permit sets conditions for construction, environmental compliance, interagency coordination, and diplomatic notification to Mexico before work begins.

Impact dates

  1. Department of State completes exchange of diplomatic notes with Government of Mexico before construction begins

  2. GSA provides written notification that construction has begun

  3. GSA provides written notification that construction is completed, interrupted, or discontinued

  4. Obtain concurrence from U.S. Section of International Boundary and Water Commission before initiating construction

  • GSA must implement NEPA mitigation measures and comply with Clean Water Act Section 402 permits
  • GSA must obtain concurrence from U.S. Section of IBWC before initiating construction
  • Department of State must complete diplomatic note exchange with Mexico before construction begins

Who is ordered

Timeline

Immediate

  • Permit takes effect upon signature
  • GSA authorized to proceed with planning and pre-construction steps

Near term (90d)

  • Diplomatic note exchange with Mexico must be completed before construction begins (no fixed deadline)
  • GSA must obtain IBWC concurrence before initiating construction
  • GSA must secure required federal, state, and local permits and environmental approvals

Long term

  • Modernization and expansion of San Luis I Land Port of Entry
  • Continued operation and maintenance of upgraded border crossing facilities
  • Potential capacity increases for pedestrian and vehicular border traffic

Risks & tensions

  • Diplomatic note exchange with Mexico is a potential bottleneck with no fixed deadline; delays could stall construction indefinitely
  • Environmental compliance requirements (NEPA, Clean Water Act) may add time and cost, with mitigation subject to availability of funds
  • Permit explicitly states obligations are subject to availability of funds, creating execution risk if appropriations are insufficient
  • Transfer restrictions to non-federal entities require presidential approval, limiting future operational flexibility
  • Vague 'best management practices' standard in Article 6 leaves some compliance discretion undefined
