Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
Land Ports of Entry
Public Buildings Service (PBS),
General Services Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Revised Notice of Intent;
meeting updates.
AGENCY:
The Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the
GSA have partnered to develop a
program of projects at a number of Land
Ports of Entry (LPOEs) so that FMCSA
agents can safely and effectively inspect
both commercial truck and bus traffic.
GSA intends to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to analyze the potential impacts from
the proposed construction of six (6)
inspection facilities at five (5) different
LPOEs in both California and Arizona.
A NOI was published concerning the
EIS and scoping meetings on May 23,
2019. The revised Notice of Intent is to
notify interested parties that dates for
the scoping meetings have changed for
the two (2) Arizona Sites. Meetings for
the California scoping meetings have
not changed.
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 August 2, 2019.
Updated scoping meetings for the two
(2) Arizona sites are listed below:
• San Luis II, AZ, Wednesday, July
17, 2019, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• Nogales Mariposa, AZ, Thursday,
July 18, 2019, 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The meetings will be
conducted in an open house format,
where project information will be
presented and distributed. Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Nogales Mariposa LPOE, AZ
Background
The FMCSA mission includes
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.
The two (2) Arizona LPOEs are
described below:
• Nogales Mariposa, AZ (Commercial
Truck Inspection)
• San Luis II, AZ (Commercial Truck
Inspection)
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 an
FMCSA administration building. The
other build alternative would consist of
a smaller facility footprint on the same
location.
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.
