DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
Determination Pursuant to Section 102
of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996,
as Amended
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
The Secretary of Homeland
Security has determined, pursuant to
law, that it is necessary to waive certain
laws, regulations and other legal
requirements in order to ensure the
expeditious construction of barriers and
roads in the vicinity of the international
land border of the United States near the
city of San Diego in the state of
California.
SUMMARY:
This determination takes effect
on August 2, 2017.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
principal mission requirements of the
Department of Homeland Security
(‘‘DHS’’) include border security and the
detection and prevention of illegal entry
into the United States. Border security
is critical to the nation’s national
security. Recognizing the critical
importance of border security, Congress
has ordered DHS to achieve and
maintain operational control of the
international land border. Secure Fence
Act of 2006, Public Law 109–367, 2, 120
Stat. 2638 (Oct. 26, 2006) (8 U.S.C. 1701
note). Congress defined ‘‘operational
control’’ as the prevention of all
unlawful entries into the United States,
including entries by terrorists, other

terrorism, narcotics, and other
contraband. Secure Fence Act of 2006,
Public Law 109–367, 2, 120 Stat. 2638
(Oct. 26, 2006) (8 U.S.C. 1701 note).
Consistent with that mandate from
Congress, the President’s Executive
Order on Border Security and
Immigration Enforcement Improvements
directed executive departments and
agencies to deploy all lawful means to
secure the southern border. Executive
Order 13767, § 1. To achieve this end,
the President directed, among other
things, that I take immediate steps to
prevent all unlawful entries into the
United States, to include the immediate
construction of physical infrastructure
to prevent illegal entry. Executive Order
13767, § 4(a).
Congress has provided the Secretary
of Homeland Security with a number of
authorities necessary to carry out DHS’s
border security mission, including the
border security provisions described
above. One of these authorities is found
at section 102 of the Illegal Immigration
Reform and Immigrant Responsibility
Act of 1996 (‘‘IIRIRA’’). Public Law 104–
208, Div. C, 110 Stat. 3009–546, 3009–

Fence Act of 2006, Public Law 109–367,
§ 3, 120 Stat. 2638 (Oct. 26, 2006) (8
U.S.C. 1103 note), as amended by the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law
110–161, Div. E, Title V, § 564, 121 Stat.
2090 (Dec. 26, 2007). In section 102(a)
of IIRIRA, Congress provided that the
Secretary of Homeland Security shall
take such actions as may be necessary
to install additional physical barriers
and roads (including the removal of
obstacles to detection of illegal entrants)
in the vicinity of the United States
border to deter illegal crossings in areas
of high illegal entry into the United
States. In section 102(b) of IIRIRA,

Congress has called for the installation

southwest border. Finally, in section
102(c) of IIRIRA, Congress granted to the
Secretary of Homeland Security the
authority to waive all legal requirements
that I, in my sole discretion, determine
necessary to ensure the expeditious
construction of barriers and roads
authorized by section 102 of IIRIRA.
Determination and Waiver
Section 1
The United States Border Patrol’s San
Diego Sector is one of the busiest
Sectors in the Nation. For example, in
fiscal year 2016 alone, the United States
Border Patrol apprehended over 31,000
illegal aliens and seized approximately
9,167 pounds of marijuana and
approximately 1,317 pounds of cocaine
in the San Diego Sector. To be sure, the
construction of border infrastructure
and other operational improvements
have improved border security in the
San Diego Sector; however, more work
needs to be done. The San Diego Sector
remains an area of high illegal entry for
which there is an immediate need to
construct additional border barriers and
roads.
To begin to meet the need for
additional border infrastructure within
the San Diego Sector, DHS will
immediately implement various border
infrastructure projects. These projects
will focus on an approximately fifteen
mile segment of the border within the
San Diego Sector that starts at the
Pacific Ocean and extends eastward.
This approximately fifteen mile segment
of the border is referred to herein as the
‘‘Project Area’’ and is more specifically
described in Section 2 below.
All of the projects that DHS will
undertake within the Project Area will
further Border Patrol’s ability to deter
and prevent illegal crossings. For
example, DHS will replace existing
primary fencing in the Project Area. The

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 147 / Wednesday, August 2, 2017 / Notices
sradovich on DSKBCFCHB2PROD with NOTICES
majority of the existing primary fence in
the Project Area was built in the early
1990s using a fence design that is no
longer optimal for Border Patrol
operations. The new primary barrier
will use an operationally effective
design that is intended to meet Border
Patrol’s current requirements. DHS will
also build prototype border wall in the
Project Area near the eastern terminus
of the existing secondary barrier. The
construction of border wall prototypes
in the Project Area and the robust
physical characteristics that are to be
incorporated into the border wall
prototypes are intended to deter illegal
crossings. In addition to deterring illegal
crossings in the Project Area, DHS will
use the border wall prototypes to
evaluate various design features for
potential inclusion in a border wall
standard that will be developed by the
Government and utilized as a part of
border wall construction going forward.
Importantly, construction of the border
wall prototypes in the Project Area also
means that DHS can evaluate various
design features in the border
environment under actual operational
conditions. As such, the construction of
border wall prototypes will not only
deter illegal entry in the Project Area,
but evaluation of the border wall
prototypes is also critical to and
necessary for future border wall design
and construction.
Section 2
I determine that the following area in
the vicinity of the United States border,
located in the state of California within
the United States Border Patrol’s San
Diego Sector, which is referred to herein
as the Project Area, is an area of high
illegal entry: Starting at the Pacific
Ocean and extending to approximately
one mile east of Border Monument 251.
There is presently a need to construct
physical barriers and roads, including
the infrastructure projects described in
Section 1, in the vicinity of the border
of the United States to deter illegal
crossings in the Project Area. In order to
ensure the expeditious construction of
the barriers and roads in the Project
Area, I have determined that it is
necessary that I exercise the authority
that is vested in me by section 102(c) of
IIRIRA as amended.
Accordingly, pursuant to section
102(c) of IIRIRA, I hereby waive in their
entirety, with respect to the
construction of roads and physical
barriers (including, but not limited to,
accessing the Project Area, creating and
using staging areas, the conduct of
earthwork, excavation, fill, and site
preparation, and installation and
upkeep of physical barriers, roads,
