Customs/INS Field Organizations; Revocations and Designation of International Airport Status for Customs Services and Ports of Entry for Aliens Arriving by Aircraft

Краткое содержание

This document proposes to amend the Customs and Immigration and Naturalization Service (the Service) Regulations pertaining to their respective field organizations. Customs proposes to revoke the international airport designations for the Ranier International Seaplane Base located in Ranier, Minnesota, and the Eagle Pass Municipal Airport located in Eagle Pass, Texas. The Service proposes to remove Ranier, MN, and Eagle Pass, TX, from the port of entry lists for aliens arriving by vessel, land transportation, or by aircraft. This proposal is based on evidence that the facilities at these locations have deteriorated and/or the amount of business clearing through the airports does not justify continued maintenance of inspection equipment and personnel. The document also proposes to designate Maverick County Airport located in Maverick County, Texas, as a new international airport for Customs purposes and as a new port of entry for purposes of the Service. These changes will assist both agencies in their continuing efforts to achieve more efficient use of their personnel, facilities, and resources, and to provide better service to carriers, importers, and the general public.
