HEXRIS is a non-intrusive inspection
technology that is used to aid in
inspecting high-density cargo containers
for contraband such as illicit drugs,
currency, guns, and weapons of mass
destruction. To assist in meeting CBP’s
mission requirements of securing the
borders of the United States while
simultaneously facilitating legitimate
trade and travel, HEXRIS units are
proposed to be deployed and operated
at both sea and land ports of entry
across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. HEXRIS
fills a unique niche in the types of
inspection tools used by CBP at the
nation’s ports of entry. HEXRIS is
capable of penetrating dense cargo loads
that cannot otherwise be examined with
other technologies such as gamma
imaging systems or low-energy X-ray
systems. HEXRIS will also assist in
fulfilling the requirement for the 100%
scanning of containers entering the U.S.
as directed in the Security and
Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port
Act of 2006. Public Law 109–347 (Oct.
13, 2006).
The draft PEA addresses the potential
impacts from the installation and
operation of HEXRIS at various ports
throughout the United States for the
purpose of conducting non-intrusive
inspections of high density cargo
containers. Evaluations were conducted
on various resources present at the
ports, including: Climate, soils, water
quality, air quality, vegetation, wildlife,
noise, infrastructure, aesthetics, and
radiological heath and safety.
Next Steps
This process is being conducted
pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council
on Environmental Quality Regulations
for Implementing the NEPA (40 CFR
parts 1500–1508), and Department of
Homeland Security Management
Directive 5100.1, Environmental
Planning Program of April 19, 2006.
Substantive comments concerning
environmental impacts received from
the public and agencies during the
comment period will be evaluated to
determine whether further
environmental impact review is needed
in order to complete the final PEA.
Should CBP determine that the
implementation of the proposed action
would not have a significant impact on
the environment, it will prepare a
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI). The FONSI would be
published in the Federal Register.
Should CBP determine that significant
environmental impacts exist due to the
action, CBP will prepare a Notice of
Intent (NOI) to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
