SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to section 1706 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public 

Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135 (Nov. 25, 

2002), as codified at 40 U.S.C. 1315, the 

Secretary of Homeland Security is 

responsible for protecting the buildings, 

grounds, and property owned, occupied, 

or secured by the federal government 

(including any agency, instrumentality, 

or wholly owned or mixed ownership 

corporation thereof) and the persons on 

the property. To carry out this mandate, 

the Department is authorized to enforce 

the applicable federal regulations for the 

protection of persons and property set 

forth in 41 CFR part 102–74, subpart C.1

These regulations govern conduct on 

federal property and set forth the 

relevant criminal penalties. Although 

these regulations apply to all property 

under the authority of the General 

Services Administration and to all 

person entering in or on such property,2

the Secretary of Homeland Security is 

authorized pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 

1315(d)(2)(A) to extend the applicability 

of these regulations to any property 

owned or occupied by the federal 

government and to enforce them. 

Temporary Administrative Extension of 

Applicability of Regulations Governing 

Conduct on Federal Property to Certain 

Areas in the Vicinity of the Border Near 

the City of Calexico 

DHS is replacing existing border fence 

with bollard wall near the city of 

Calexico in the United States Border 

Patrol’s El Centro Sector pursuant to 

several statutory and executive 

directives.3 In order to protect and 

secure the property at or near the border 

barrier replacement project area, 

including, but not limited to, project 

sites, staging areas, access roads, and 

buildings temporarily erected to support 

construction activities, I temporarily 

extended the applicability, allowing the 

enforcement, of regulations governing 

the conduct of individuals on federal 

property to areas in or around the 

border barrier replacement project area, 

pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 1315(d)(2)(A). The 

project area for border barrier 

replacement wall and fence replacement 

is situated within a geographic area that 

starts at the Calexico West Port of Entry, 

and extends to approximately three 

miles west along the southern U.S. 

border. Specifically, I temporarily 

extended the applicability, allowing the 

enforcement, of the regulations in 41 

CFR part 102–74, subpart C, for the 

protection and administration of 

property owned or occupied by the 

Federal Government and persons on the 

property at or near the border barrier 

replacement project area near the city of 

Calexico, California. 

The regulations in 41 CFR part 102– 

74, subpart C, will remain applicable 

and enforceable at these locations for 

the duration of the construction related 

to the border barrier replacement near 

the city of Calexico, California.
