8 What makes CBP facilities so complex?
Remote and extreme environments Facility operations are in hard to build areas with no existing infrastructure Environments are hard on the structures over time Land-locked ports, difficult to expand No downtime - must recapitalize and operate facilities at the same time Required integration with domestic and bi-national transportation infrastructures Integration with technology programs Special-purpose uses require many types of unique design standards Law enforcement: inspection and detention Tactical Infrastructure: border fences, roads, and utilities

9 Field Operations Facilities (FOF)
Our Nation’s “ports” serve as the frontline in defending the American public against terrorists and instruments of terror while facilitating the lawful movement of goods and people across the border. The portfolio consists of: 167 Land Ports of Entry (LPOE) Two-thirds of the LPOE portfolio is owned or leased by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA); CBP owns or leases the remaining Congress appropriates funds for modernizing the land ports through GSA’s Federal Buildings Fund or special appropriations like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) 261 Air Ports of Entry Air ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct inspections; at most, CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment 203 Sea Ports of Entry Sea ports provide free space to CBP so that CBP Officers can conduct inspections; CBP must outfit the space with technology and security equipment
