SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
10, 2020, the FEMA Administrator
(Administrator) issued a Temporary
Final Rule (TFR) to allocate certain
scarce or threatened materials for
domestic use, so that these materials
may not be exported from the United
States without explicit approval by
FEMA. The TFR aids the response of the
United States to the spread of COVID–
19 by ensuring that certain scarce or
threatened health and medical resources
are appropriately allocated for domestic
use.
The Administrator issued the TFR
under the authority of the Defense
Production Act of 1950, as amended
(DPA), and related executive orders and
delegations. Most prominently, on April
3, 2020, the President signed a
Memorandum on Allocating Certain
Scarce or Threatened Health and
Medical Resources to Domestic Use
(Memorandum). In the Memorandum,
the President directed the Secretary of
Homeland Security, through the
Administrator, and in consultation with
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS), to use any and all
authority available under section 101 of
the DPA to allocate to domestic use, as
appropriate, five types of personal

protective equipment (PPE) materials
(covered materials).
Consistent with the Memorandum,
the TFR provides that until August 10,
2020, and subject to certain exemptions,
no shipments of covered materials may
leave the United States without explicit
approval by FEMA. The TFR requires
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), in coordination with such other
officials as may be appropriate, to notify
FEMA of an intended export of covered
materials. CBP must temporarily detain
any shipment of such covered materials
pending the Administrator’s
determination whether to return for
domestic use, issue a rated order for, or
allow the export of part or all of the
shipment. In making such
determination, the Administrator may
consult other agencies and will consider
the totality of the circumstances,
including: (1) The need to ensure that
scarce or threatened items are
appropriately allocated for domestic
use; (2) minimization of disruption to
the supply chain, both domestically and
abroad; (3) the circumstances
surrounding the distribution of the
materials and potential hoarding or
price-gouging concerns; (4) the quantity
and quality of the materials; (5)
humanitarian considerations; and (6)
international relations and diplomatic
considerations.
FEMA requires a letter of attestation
regarding the Export of Certain Scarce or
Threatened Medical Resources be
submitted to FEMA via CPB’s document
imaging system and placed on file with
CBP, certifying to FEMA the purpose of
the shipment of covered materials.
This new collection was submitted
and approved by OMB until August 10,
2020, under the emergency clearance
process. FEMA is seeking public
comments on the collection through the
normal clearance process in order to
extend the collection, if necessary,
should the TFR also be extended
beyond its current end date of August
10, 2020.

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 Acting 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
roads in the vicinity of the international
land border in Starr County, Texas.
DATES: This determination takes effect
on July 17, 2020.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Important
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 mandated
DHS to achieve and maintain
operational control of the international
land border. Secure Fence Act of 2006,
Public Law 109–367, section 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
unlawful aliens, instruments of
terrorism, narcotics, and other
contraband. Id. 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, section 1. In order to
achieve that end, the President directed,
among other things, that I take
immediate steps to prevent all unlawful
entries into the United States, including
the immediate construction of physical
infrastructure to prevent illegal entry.
Executive Order 13767, section 4(a).
Congress has provided to the
Secretary of Homeland Security a
number of authorities necessary to carry
out DHS’s border security mission. One
of those authorities is found at section
102 of the Illegal Immigration Reform
and Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996, as amended (‘‘IIRIRA’’). Public
Law 104–208, Div. C, 110 Stat. 3009–
546, 3009–554 (Sept. 30, 1996) (8 U.S.C
1103 note), as amended by the REAL ID
Act of 2005, Public Law 109–13, Div. B,
119 Stat. 231, 302, 306 (May 11, 2005)
(8 U.S.C. 1103 note), as amended by the
Secure Fence Act of 2006, Public Law
109–367, section 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, section 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
