Chapter 5 SOUTHWEST BORDER: BORDER PATROL OPERATIONS ON THE FEDERAL LANDS (STATEMENT OF ANU K. MITTAL, DIRECTOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT (GAO) AT THE HEARING ON "THE BORDER: ARE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS IMPEDING SECURITY AND HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT?")
BORDER PATROL RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER KEY LAND MANAGEMENT LAWS AND COORDINATION WITH LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES
Several Land Management Laws Govern Border Patrol Operations on Federal Lands
National and Local Agreements Facilitate Coordination of Responsibilities among the Agencies
LAND MANAGEMENT LAWS HAVE LIMITED BORDER PATROL’S ACCESS IN SOME AREAS, BUT MOST AGENTS-IN-CHARGE REPORTED NO EFFECT ON THEIR STATIONS’ BORDER SECURITY STATUS
More Than Half of Border Patrol Stations Reported That Land Management Laws Have Affected Their Access on Federal Lands
Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act Have Caused Delays
Wilderness Act Restrictions Have Affected Access to Federal Lands
Endangered Species Act Requirements Have Affected Patrols of Federal Lands
Most Agents Reported That Land Management Laws Have Had No Effect on Operational Control
Most Stations’ Border Security Status Has Been Unaffected by Land Management Laws
Four Stations Reported That Their Security Status Had Been Affected by Land Management Laws
FEDERAL AGENCIES REPORTED THAT INFORMATION SHARING AND COMMUNICATION HAD IMPROVED, BUT ADDITIONAL COORDINATION IS NEEDED TO CLOSE CRITICAL GAPS
