Department of State June 17, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, announces a revision to the original Request for Grant Proposals (RFGP) for the Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship Program, announced in the Federal Register on May 13, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 92):

At the request of the permittee, the Department of State has amended the Presidential permit, originally issued in 1993, that authorizes Cameron County, Texas to construct, operate, and maintain an international bridge known as ``Veterans Bridge at Los Tomates'' near Brownsville, Texas, at the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. The amendment allows the permittee to build a second adjacent bridge, essentially identical to the existing four-lane bridge, to accommodate increasing traffic volume, to improve pedestrian safety, and to allow more efficient separation of different types of traffic as it approaches the border inspection station owned by the General Services Administration and operated by the Department of Homeland Security/Customs and Border Protection. In making its determination to amend the permit, the Department provided public notice of the proposed amendment and provided the opportunity for comment (73 FR 55586, Sept. 25, 2008) and also consulted with other Federal agencies, as required by Executive Order 11423, as amended.
