Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the
regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR part
1500), and DHS Management Directive
023–01, Environmental Planning
Program of April 19, 2006.
NPS prepared an environmental
assessment (EA) that examines the
effects on the natural and human
environment associated with the
proposed construction and operation of
a visitor station and establishment of a
Class B port of entry on the Rio Grande
between the United States and Mexico
within Big Bend National Park. The NPS
EA encompasses all components of the
Boquillas border crossing, including
CBP operations of the port of entry. On
June 28, 2011, NPS issued a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI)
concluding that the proposed activities
would not result in a significant impact
to the human and natural environment.
In accordance with NEPA, CBP has
carefully reviewed the EA developed by
NPS and has determined that it
considers all potential impacts of the
project accurately. Therefore, CBP is
adopting the EA developed by NPS and
is issuing a FONSI. These documents
will be posted on the CBP Web site at
www.cbp.gov and in the docket for this
rulemaking at https://
www.regulations.gov.
Signing Authority
The signing authority for amending
title 19 of the Code of Federal
Regulations falls under 19 CFR 0.2(a),
because the establishment of this
Customs station is not within the
bounds of those regulations for which
the Secretary of the Treasury has
retained sole authority. Accordingly,
this final rule may be signed by the
Secretary of Homeland Security (or her
delegate).
Janet Napolitano,
Secretary.
