DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7264] 

Review of the Designation of Gama’a 

al-Islamiyya, (IG and Other Aliases); as 

a Foreign Terrorist Organization 

Pursuant to Section 219 of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, as 

Amended 

Based upon a review of the 

Administrative Record assembled in 

this matter pursuant to Section 

219(a)(4)(C) of the Immigration and 

Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 

1189(a)(4)(C)) (‘‘INA’’), and in 

consultation with the Attorney General 

and the Secretary of the Treasury, I 

conclude that the circumstances that 

were the basis for the 2004 redesignation of the aforementioned 

organization as a foreign terrorist 

organization have not changed in such 

a manner as to warrant revocation of the 

designation and that the national 

security of the United States does not 

warrant a revocation of the designation. 

Therefore, I hereby determine that the 

designation of the aforementioned 

organization as a foreign terrorist 

organization, pursuant to Section 219 of 

the INA (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be 

maintained. 

This determination shall be published 

in the Federal Register. 

Dated: December 6, 2010.

Finding of No Significant Impact From 

the Expansion, Renovation, Operation 

and Maintenance of the Nogales 

Mariposa Commercial and Pedestrian 

Border Crossing 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State is 

publishing a Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI) for the proposed 

expansion, renovation, operation and 

maintenance of the Nogales Mariposa 

Commercial and Pedestrian Border 

Crossing between Nogales, Arizona and 

Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Stewart Tuttle, Coordinator of Border 

Affairs, Office of Mexican Affairs, 

Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. 

U.S. Department of State, 2201 C Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20520, phone 

202–647–6356, or e-mail: 

Tuttlesd@state.gov. General information 

about Presidential Permits is available 

on the Internet at http://www.state.gov/ 

p/wha/rt/permit/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following represents the text of the State 

Department-approved FONSI—The 

General Services Administration 

(‘‘GSA’’) has submitted an application 

for a Presidential permit to expand, 

renovate, operate and maintain the 

Nogales Mariposa Commercial and 

Pedestrian Border Crossing between 

Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, 

Mexico. The Department of State (the 

‘‘Department’’) has determined that 

under Executive Order 11423, as 

amended, a Presidential permit is 

required for the proposed alteration of 

the existing border crossing since it 

would involve a significant 

modification in a piercing of the United 

States-Mexico border. See 75 FR 14487 

(March 25, 2010). 

The Nogales Land Port of Entry 

(LPOE) was constructed in 1973 and is 

located at the U.S.-Mexico border 

between the City of Nogales, Arizona 

and the City of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, 

approximately 65 miles south of 

Tucson, Arizona. The LPOE is a fullservice facility inspecting primarily 

commercial vehicles, but also 

personally-owned vehicles and 

pedestrians entering the U.S. from 

Mexico. Today the LPOE is one of the 

ten busiest cargo ports along the entire 

U.S.-Mexico border. As a result of the 

North American Free Trade Agreement 

(NAFTA), the LPOE serves as the 

primary commercial truck route 

between the U.S. and Mexico in the 

Nogales area and is a linchpin in the 

international trade infrastructure 

between the U.S., Mexico and Canada. 

GSA has sought a Presidential permit 

because of the need for an upgrade to 

the current LPOE facilities necessitated 

by the increased trade volume between 

the U.S. and Mexico brought about by 

NAFTA. Pedestrian crossings have 

tripled since 2002 and are expected to 

increase nearly 200 percent by 2025. 

Bus traffic at the LPOE doubled between 

2002 and 2006. Currently, the LPOE 

processes approximately 1,000 

commercial vehicles per day. This 

figure is expected to increase to 1,730 

per day by 2030. The current LPOE 

infrastructure does not conform to 

GSA’s current guidelines governing 

layout, minimum vehicle clearances, 

pedestrian and employee safety and 

national security. Due to its outdated 

equipment and inefficient traffic 

circulation, the existing LPOE 

configuration will not be able to handle 

the predicted increases in traffic 

volume. Congress in the Reinvestment 

and Recovery Act of 2009 provided 

$199 million to upgrade current 

facilities and completion of this upgrade 

is a priority project for both GSA and 

the Bureau of Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) of the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS). 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) published an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the proposed 

expansion, renovation, operation and 

maintenance of the Nogales Mariposa 

Commercial and Pedestrian Border 

Crossing between Nogales, Arizona and 

Nogales, Sonora, Mexico on June, 12, 

2009. Based on that EA, GSA then also 

issued its own FONSI on August 7, 2009 

concluded that the Nogales project is 

not a major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment that would require an 

environmental impact statement and 

gave public notice of its finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI) on June 24,
