BARACK OBAMA. EX. ORD. NO. 13867. ISSUANCE OF PERMITS WITH RESPECT TO FACILITIES AND LAND TRANSPORTATION CROSSINGS AT THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES OF THE UNITED STATES Ex. Ord. No. 13867, Apr. 10, 2019, 84 F.R. 15491, pro- vided: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including Article II of the Constitution, which gives the President authority over foreign affairs and the authority to seek the opinions of principal offi- cers, it is hereby ordered as follows: SECTION 1. Purpose. Presidents have long exercised au- thority to permit or deny the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance of infrastructure projects at an international border of the United States (cross-bor- der infrastructure). Over the course of several decades, executive actions, Federal regulations, and policies of executive departments and agencies (agencies) related to the process of reviewing applications for Presi- Page 56 TITLE 3—THE PRESIDENT § 301 dential permits, and issuing or denying such permits, have unnecessarily complicated the Presidential per- mitting process, thereby hindering the economic devel- opment of the United States and undermining the ef- forts of the United States to foster goodwill and mutu- ally productive economic exchanges with its neigh- boring countries. To promote cross-border infrastruc- ture and facilitate the expeditious delivery of advice to the President regarding Presidential permitting deci- sions, this order revises the process for the develop- ment and issuance of Presidential permits covering the construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of certain facilities and land transportation crossings at the international boundaries of the United States. SEC. 2. Cross-Border Infrastructure Presidential Permit Application Procedures. (a) The Secretary of State shall adopt procedures to ensure that all actions set forth in subsections (b) through (h) of this section can be com- pleted within 60 days of the receipt of an application for a Presidential permit for the types of cross-border infrastructure identified in subsection (b) of this sec- tion. (b) Except with respect to facilities covered by Exec- utive Order 10485 of September 3, 1953 (Providing for the Performance of Certain Functions Heretofore Per- formed by the President With Respect to Electric Power and Natural Gas Facilities Located on the Bor- ders of the United States), as amended [15 U.S.C. 717b note], and section 5(a) of Executive Order 10530 of May 10, 1954 (Providing for the Performance of Certain Functions Vested in or Subject to the Approval of the President) [set out above], the Secretary of State is hereby designated to receive all applications for the issuance or amendment of Presidential permits for the construction, connection, operation, or maintenance, at the international boundaries of the United States, of: (i) pipelines, conveyor belts, and similar facilities for exportation or importation of all products to or from a foreign country; (ii) facilities for the exportation or importation of water or sewage to or from a foreign country; (iii) facilities for the transportation of persons or things, or both, to or from a foreign country; (iv) bridges, to the extent that congressional author- ization is not required; (v) similar facilities above or below ground; and (vi) border crossings for land transportation, includ- ing motor and rail vehicles, to or from a foreign coun- try, whether or not in conjunction with the facilities identified in subsection (b)(iii) of this section. (c) Upon receipt of an application pursuant to sub- section (b) of this section, the Secretary of State may: (i) request additional information from the applicant that the President may deem necessary; and (ii) refer the application and pertinent information to heads of agencies specified by the President. (d) The Secretary of State shall, as soon as prac- ticable after receiving an application pursuant to sub- section (b) of this section, advise the President as to whether the President should request the opinion, in writing, of any heads of agencies concerning the appli- cation and any related matter. Any agency heads whose opinion the President requests shall provide views and render such assistance as may be requested, consistent with their legal authority, in a timely man- ner, not to exceed 30 days from the date of a request, unless the President otherwise specifies. (e) With respect to each application, the Secretary of State may solicit such advice from State, tribal, and local government officials, and foreign governments, as the President may deem necessary. The Secretary shall seek responses within no more than 30 days from the date of a request. (f) Upon receiving the views and assistance described in subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this section, the Sec- retary of State shall consider whether additional infor- mation may be necessary in order for the President to evaluate the application, and the Secretary shall ad- vise the President accordingly. At the direction of the President, the Secretary shall request any such addi- tional information. (g) If, at the conclusion of the actions set forth in subsections (b) through (f) of this section, the Sec- retary of State is of the opinion that the issuance of a Presidential permit to the applicant, or the amend- ment of an existing Presidential permit, would not serve the foreign policy interests of the United States, the Secretary shall so advise the President, and provide the President with the reasons supporting that opinion, in writing. (h) If, at the conclusion of the actions set forth in subsections (b) through (f) of this section, the Sec- retary of State is of the opinion that the issuance of a Presidential permit to the applicant, or the amend- ment of an existing Presidential permit, would serve the foreign policy interests of the United States, the Secretary shall so advise the President, and provide the President with the reasons supporting that opinion, in writing. (i) Any decision to issue, deny, or amend a permit under this section shall be made solely by the Presi- dent. (j) The Secretary of State shall, consistent with ap- plicable law, review the Department of State’s regula- tions and make any appropriate changes to them to en- sure consistency with this order by no later than May 29, 2020. (k) Executive Order 13337 of April 30, 2004 (Issuance of Permits With Respect to Certain Energy-Related Fa- cilities and Land Transportation Crossings on the International Boundaries of the United States) [for- merly set out above], and Executive Order 11423 of Au- gust 16, 1968 (Providing for the Performance of Certain Functions Heretofore Performed by the President With Respect to Certain Facilities Constructed and Main- tained on the Borders of the United States), as amend- ed [formerly set out above], are hereby revoked. SEC. 3. Existing Permits. All permits heretofore issued pursuant to the orders enumerated in section 2(k) of this order, and in force at the date of this order [Apr. 10, 2019], shall remain in full effect in accordance with their terms unless and until modified, amended, sus- pended, or revoked by the appropriate authority. SEC. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect: (i) the authority granted by law to an executive de- partment or agency, or the head thereof; or (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Man- agement and Budget relating to budgetary, administra- tive, or legislative proposals. (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appro- priations. (c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforce- able at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
