U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental

Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of the availability of the

Draft Framework Document for the U.S.-

Mexico Border XXI Program.

SUMMARY: The Border XXI Program is a

binational environmental planning

program for the border area and is the

second phase of the Integrated Border

Environmental Plan (IBEP), released in

February 1992. The goal of the Border

XXI Program is to protect human health

and the environment and promote

sustainable development in the border

area (the area extending 100 Km on

either side of the boundary between the

U.S. and Mexico). It broadens the scope

of issues beyond those addressed under

the IBEP and, through binational

workgroups, deals with the following

concerns: natural resources;

environmental health; air; water;

hazardous and solid wastes;

contingency planning and emergency

response; enforcement; pollution

prevention; and, environmental

information resources. Strategies which

are central to the Border XXI Program

include public involvement,

decentralization of border decision

making, and increased environmental

cooperation between the different

governmental agencies operating in the

border region. To promote integrated

regional planning, the Draft Framework

Document is organized around five

geographic regions: California-Baja

California, Arizona-Sonora, New

Mexico-Texas-Chihuahua, TexasCoahuila-Nuevo Leon, and TexasTamaulipas. The Draft Framework

Document, developed in cooperation

with the Department of Interior and

Department of Health and Human

Services, reflects an evolving process

that will benefit from the experiences

and input of various stakeholders, such

as the four U.S. and six Mexican border

states, as well as tribal nations, local

communities, academia, nongovernmental organizations, the private

sector and border citizens.

Through a series of both domestic and

binational public meetings which took

place during September through

November of 1995 in various border

communities, efforts were made to

inform the public of objectives of the

program and the process adopted for its

involvement. At that time, the public

also was given an opportunity to

comment on the workgroup objectives

for the program. These comments were

taken into consideration by the

binational workgroups in the

development of this draft document.

To provide additional opportunity for

input, the public will have 45 days from

the date of release to comment on the

Draft Border XXI Framework Document,

which is the first of related documents

that will be released under Border XXI.

Additional public meetings for receiving

verbal comments on the draft will be

held during this comment period.

Locations and dates of the meetings will

be announced separately. The Final

Framework Document will be released

in the Fall of 1996.

DATES: The Draft Border XXI Framework

Document will be made available to the

public beginning June 13, 1996.

Comments must be submitted no later

than July 29, 1996.
