Addition of Midland International Airport to List of Designated Landing Locations for Private Aircraft

الملخص

This document proposes to amend the Customs Regulations by adding the user-fee airport at Midland, Texas (Midland International Airport) to the list of designated airports at which private aircraft arriving in the Continental U.S. via the U.S./Mexican border, the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Atlantic Coast from certain locations in the southern portion of the Western Hemisphere must land for Customs processing. This proposed amendment is made to improve the effectiveness of Customs enforcement efforts to combat the smuggling of drugs by air into the United States. This proposed amendment, if adopted, would also improve service to the community, by relieving congestion at Presidio-Lely International, Del Rio International, and Eagle Pass Municipal Airports, which are also located in Texas.
