Enhancing Border Infrastructure: CBP's Modernization Strategies and Funding Insights

The CBP emphasizes the urgent need for modernization of Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) along U.S. borders, highlighting a $6 billion gap in funding despite receiving $1.4 billion since FY07. As projects face funding challenges, the agency explores public-private partnerships (PPP) to leverage innovative solutions, while strategically planning for future fiscal constraints. The updated Strategic Planning 2.0 seeks to enhance stakeholder engagement and facilitate better investment decisions. Key pilots are set for completion by 2014, which will drive efficient infrastructure improvements aligned with CBP’s evolving mission.

  1. 2012 Spring TBWG CBP Washington Updates

  2. TBWG: Washington Updates Agenda • LPOE Magnitude of Need and Historic NB Appropriations • Reevaluating CBP’s LPOE Modernization Strategy • Public-Private Partnerships • Strategic Planning 2.0 2

  3. TBWG: Washington Updates LPOE Magnitude of Need & Historic NB Appropriations • Through its FY06 Strategic Resource Assessments, CBP identified a $6B need to recapitalize its LPOE portfolio, which consists of 122 northern border ports and 45 southern border ports • Since FY07, Congress has appropriated $1.4B to LPOE modernization, $668M of which has been allocated towards northern border ports • The gap between annual appropriations and resource needs continues to grow as unmet LPOE construction, sustainment, and technology costs rise 3

  4. TBWG: Washington UpdatesReevaluating CBP’s LPOE Modernization Strategy • Continue to pursue large-scale modernization projects in anticipation of future funding • Recent appropriations have been unfavorable to large-scale projects • Maintain scope and phase projects to parse funding needs across multiple fiscal years • Smaller, more fiscally viable funding requests are not a guarantee of design/construction continuity • Continue to explore non-traditional funding mechanisms • Public Private Partnerships • Revisit of CBP’s capital and non-capital investment planning methodology • Strategic Planning 2.0

  5. TBWG: Washington UpdatesPublic-Private Partnerships • Organizational recognition and push for Public Private Partnerships • Supportive of Commissioner’s FY12 priority to cut operating and overhead expenses and actively engage in cost savings initiatives • PPPs would provide access to otherwise unavailable fiscal resources and would enable CBP to leverage the innovative, cost efficient, and streamlined solutions associated with private industry facilities and services • Lack of express statutory authority prohibits DHS and GSA from entering into LPOE infrastructure PPPs • CBP and GSA continue to evaluate PPP solutions such as: • Partnering opportunities with USDOT who has the ability to form partnerships with state departments of transportation • Encouraging legislation that’s favorable to CBP/GSA PPP arrangements • Developing long-term PPP strategies that align with CBP’s planning methodology

  6. TBWG: Washington UpdatesStrategic Planning 2.0 • On-going revisit of legacy SRA and Capital Investment Process • SP2.0 to be more inclusive of broader stakeholder perspectives, more predictive and responsive to fiscal constraints, and will ultimately drive infrastructure improvements that are more targeted and adaptive to CBP’s fast-evolving mission • SP2.0 process pilots are in the works and are targeted for completion by 2013 with a full roll-out in 2014 • CBP to pilot one or more northern border locations • CBP in the process of data sourcing to develop baseline set of data points • New process will facilitate smarter LPOE investment decision making and will feature financing review sub-processes that marry technical solutions with traditional and non-traditional funding sources
