DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice 6930]
Executive Order 11423, as Amended;
Notice of Receipt of Application To
Amend the Presidential Permit for the
Nogales-Mariposa International Border
Crossing on the U.S.-Mexico Border
Department of State.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of State
hereby gives notice that, on March 12,
2010, it received from the General
Services Administration (GSA) an
application to amend the Presidential
permit that the Department issued in
2005 to the Arizona Department of
Transportation for the Nogales-Mariposa
port of entry (Mariposa) at Nogales,
Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.
GSA intends to remodel and expand the
existing border crossing. GSA’s
application to the Department is in
keeping with the determination that
GSA is generally the appropriate
permittee for at-grade (i.e., those not
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
located along the Rio Grande), federally
owned border crossings along the U.S.Mexico border. The Department and
GSA agree that an amendment of the
existing Presidential permit is required
in this case because GSA’s project
would widen the piercing of the border
and would formally establish Mariposa
as a border crossing for pedestrians.
According to the application,
approximately 45% of the produce
consumed in the United States during
winter months crosses at Mariposa. In
2008, $12.85 billion of merchandise
entered through the crossing, an
increase of $8.25 billion over the total
for 1995. The inadequacies of the
existing facility cause long delays for
commercial traffic during peak times.
When it opened about 35 years ago,
Mariposa was designed to accommodate
450 commercial vehicles per day.
Currently, the port processes
approximately 1,000 commercial
vehicles per day. This figure is expected
to increase to 1,730 per day by 2030.
Furthermore, Mariposa was not
designed to accommodate pedestrians
and buses; lack of pedestrian facilities
results in pedestrians crossing an active
roadway to enter the U.S. facility.
Inspection areas are too small to meet
production standards, vehicle
circulation routes are insufficient to
efficiently move traffic, and critical
security and operational facilities are
poor and lacking. GSA’s $199 million
project is funded by the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009
and is a priority project for both GSA
and the Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) of the Department of
Homeland Security because of the
crossing’s importance to trade and its
inability to facilitate current traffic
flows safely and efficiently.
The Department’s jurisdiction over
this application is based upon Executive
Order 11423 of August 16, 1968, as
amended. As provided in E.O. 11423,
the Department is circulating this
application to relevant federal and state
agencies for review and comment.
Under E.O. 11423, the Department has
the responsibility to determine, taking
into account input from these agencies
and other stakeholders, whether
amending the Presidential permit for
this border crossing would be in the
U.S. national interest.
DATES: Interested members of the public
are invited to submit written comments
regarding this application on or before
April 29, 2010 to Stewart Tuttle, U.S.Mexico Border Affairs Coordinator via
e-mail at WHA–BorderAffairs@state.gov

The Office of the United
States Trade Representative (USTR) is
providing notice of country-by-country
reallocations of the fiscal year (FY) 2010
in-quota quantity of the tariff-rate quota
(TRQ) for imported raw cane sugar.
DATES: Effective Date: March 25, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Inquiries may be mailed or
delivered to Leslie O’Connor, Director of
Agricultural Affairs, Office of
Agricultural Affairs, Office of the United
States Trade Representative, 600 17th

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Leslie O’Connor, Office of Agricultural
Affairs, 202–395–6127.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Additional U.S. Note 5 to chapter 17
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), the United
States maintains TRQs for imports of
raw cane and refined sugar.
Section 404(d)(3) of the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C.
3601(d)(3)) authorizes the President to
allocate the in-quota quantity of a TRQ
for any agricultural product among
supplying countries or customs areas.
The President delegated this authority
to the United States Trade
Representative under Presidential
Proclamation 6763 (60 FR 1007).
On September 29, 2009, the Secretary
of Agriculture established the FY 2010
TRQ for imported raw cane sugar at the
minimum amount to which the United
States committed to pursuant to the
World Trade Organization (WTO)
Uruguay Round Agreements (1,117,195
metric tons raw value (MTRV)). On
October 6, 2009, USTR provided notice
of country-by-country allocations of the
FY 2010 in-quota quantity of the TRQ
for imported raw cane sugar. Based on
consultation with quota holders, USTR
has determined to reallocate 81,946
MTRV of the original TRQ quantity from
those countries that have stated they
will be unable to fill their FY 2010
allocated raw cane sugar quantities.
USTR is allocating the 81,946 MTRV to
the following countries in the amounts
specified below:
