Operation, and Maintenance of a TwoSpan International Bridge Near 

Brownsville, Texas, at the International 

Boundary Between the United States 

and Mexico 

SUMMARY: At the request of the 

permittee, the Department of State has 

amended the Presidential permit, 

originally issued in 1993, that 

authorizes Cameron County, Texas to 

construct, operate, and maintain an 

international bridge known as ‘‘Veterans

permittee to build a second adjacent

existing four-lane bridge, to 

accommodate increasing traffic volume, 

to improve pedestrian safety, and to 

allow more efficient separation of 

different types of traffic as it approaches 

the border inspection station owned by 

the General Services Administration 

and operated by the Department of 

Homeland Security/Customs and Border 

Protection. In making its determination
