Faster Repairs at Border Crossings: The REVAMP Act

This new law streamlines procedures for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), allowing them to independently conduct minor repairs and maintenance projects (up to $300,000) at federal ports of entry. The goal is to speed up necessary infrastructure work, which should reduce delays and improve the flow of goods and people crossing the border. Citizens can expect smoother border processing due to better-maintained facilities.
Key points
Streamlined Maintenance: CBP gains authority to quickly repair existing infrastructure at ports of entry, provided the project cost is under $300,000.
Reduced Delays: Faster repairs and maintenance aim to improve the efficiency of border operations, potentially cutting down wait times for travelers and commercial traffic.
Accountability: CBP is required to report annually to Congress on all projects carried out using this new, simplified procedure.
