the proposed construction of six (6)
inspection facilities at five (5) different
LPOEs in both California and Arizona.
DATES: The views and comments of the
public are necessary to help determine
the scope and content of the
environmental analysis. Interested
parties are encouraged to attend and
provide written comments regarding the
scope of the EIS and the proposed
facilities by Thursday, July 11, 2019.
Scoping meetings for the EIS will be
held on four (4) separate dates listed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The FMCSA has been tasked with
ensuring that commercial vehicles
entering the United States (U.S.) and
travelling on U.S. Highways are
operating safely and within current U.S.
standards. To achieve this mission and
ensure safety on public highways,
FMCSA must inspect commercial and
bus traffic at points of destination or
origin, the U.S.-Mexico Border being a
main point of origin.
FMCSA inspectors currently inspect
both bus and commercial truck traffic at
multiple LPOEs along the U.S.-Mexico
Border in both California and Arizona at
facilities that were not built for their
needs and at sites which do not allow
for thorough, safe inspection of vehicles.
In April of 2018, FMCSA received
funding from the Committees of
Congress to develop, design, and
construct facilities that will allow them
to meet their mission goals safely and
effectively.
It has been determined that to achieve
this mission, six (6) inspection facilities
will be needed at five (5) different
LPOEs in both California and Arizona:
• San Ysidro, CA (Bus Inspection)
• Otay Mesa, CA (Commercial Truck
Inspection)
• Calexico East, CA (Bus and
Commercial Truck Inspection)
• San Luis II, AZ (Commercial Truck
Inspection)
• Nogales Mariposa, AZ (Commercial
Truck Inspection)
Alternatives
The EIS will consider three
Alternatives; a ‘‘preferred build
alternative’’ for six (6) facilities at five
(5) locations, a ‘‘smaller footprint’’ build
alternative for six (6) facilities at the
same five (5) locations, and a ‘‘no

action’’ alternative. The alternatives for
each location are described below:
San Ysidro LPOE, CA
The construction of a new bus
inspection facility on a newly acquired
federal site north of the LPOE. The
proposed facility includes an existing
single-story building and parking lot.
Site work would require the clearing of
the existing site and building,
extension/relocation of existing utilities
for electrical, sanitary sewer and water,
paving of the bus path and realignment
and partial paving of the parking lot and
entry and exit access through the site.
Facility construction would include an
inspection canopy with pits and a
‘‘Basic’’ FMCSA administration
building. The other build alternative
would consist of a smaller facility
footprint on the same location.
Otay Mesa LPOE, CA
The proposed truck inspection facility
would be located to the east of the
current and proposed Port of Entry, on
a site currently owned and operated by
the California Department of
Transportation. The proposed site is
linked to the Port of Entry by a frontage
road that is already in place. Site work
would require the clearing of the
existing site, extension of existing
utilities for electrical, sanitary sewer
and water. Facility construction would
include an inspection canopy with a pit
and a ‘‘Basic’’ FMCSA administration
building. The other build alternative
would consist of a smaller facility
footprint on the same location.
Calexico East LPOE, CA
The proposed truck inspection facility
would be located beyond the northern
edge of the LPOE property line, adjacent
to California State Highway Patrol land
and is accessed at the exit of the LPOE.
Site work would require the clearing of
the existing site, extension of existing
utilities for electrical, sanitary sewer
and water,and paving of the truck path.
Facility construction would include an
inspection canopy with pits and a
‘‘Medium 1’’ FMCSA administration
building. The other build alternative
would consist of a smaller facility
footprint on the same location.
The proposed bus facility would be
located on the northwestern edge of the
LPOE property. Site work would require
the extension of existing utilities for
electrical, sanitary sewer and water, and
paving of the bus path through the site.
Facility construction would include an
inspection canopy with pits and a
‘‘Basic’’ FMCSA administration
building. The other build alternative

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 100 / Thursday, May 23, 2019 / Notices
would consist of a smaller facility
footprint on the same location.
San Luis II LPOE, AZ
The proposed truck inspection facility
would be located on the northern edge
of the LPOE property line. A portion of
the site work would be constructed on
newly acquired Federal land that will
allow access from the site after hours.
Site work would require the clearing of
the existing site, extension of existing
utilities for electrical, sanitary sewer
and water, paving of the truck path, and
relocating the existing CBP impound lot.
Facility construction would include an
inspection canopy with pits and a
‘‘Medium 1’’ FMCSA administration
building. The other build alternative
would consist of a smaller facility
footprint on the same location.
Nogales Mariposa LPOE, AZ
The proposed truck inspection facility
would be located on privately owned
land, north of the existing LPOE. Site
work would require the clearing of the
existing site, extension of existing
utilities for electrical, sanitary sewer
and water, paving of the truck path.
Facility construction would include an
inspection canopy with pits and a
FMCSA administration building. The
other build alternative would consist of
a smaller facility footprint on the same
location.
The ‘‘no action’’ alternative assumes
that no new facility would be
constructed at any of the sites and the
LPOEs and FMCSA operations would
continue to operate under current
conditions.
