New Legislation: Ports of Entry, Supply Chain Security, Wildlife Trade
Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report Sep 29, 2015
Ports of Entry and Border Security. H.R. 3576 (introduced Sept. 18 by Rep. O’Rourke, D-Texas) seeks to
increase transparency, accountability and community engagement within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, provide independent oversight of border security activities, and improve training for CBP agents and officers.
Under this bill, the Department of Homeland Security would have to submit to Congress a report that contains an assessment of the current standards and guidelines for managing ports of entry. This assessment would have to include information on staffing levels and the need for additional staffing, rules governing the actions of Office of Field Operations agents, average delays for transit through air, land and sea ports of entry, the effects of border security efforts and technologies on facilitating trade at ports of entry, the economic impact of the policies and practices of CBP agricultural specialists and Office of Field Operations work, and physical infrastructure and technological needs at ports of entry.
Based on this report, DHS would have to establish updated guidelines and standards for managing ports of entry to address any identified needs or shortcomings; e.g., increasing levels of staffing of CBP agricultural specialists at ports of entry at which delays hinder or negatively impact the local or national economies, increasing the use of or updating technology at ports of entry at which there are average delays of over two hours, publishing rules on the handling of documents at ports of entry, and establishing management and leadership skills training courses for supervisors and managers at ports of entry.
