CBP Begins Taking Donation Proposals for Port Improvement Projects
CBP began accepting donation proposals as part of its Donation Acceptance Program, under which the agency may accept donations from the private sector and other government agencies to develop its port infrastructure (see 14100216). Donated money, property, and services may be used for activities related to the construction, alteration, operations, and maintenance of an existing CBP or GSA port of entry, including land acquisition, design, and the deployment of new equipment and technology. The program was authorized by the Consolidated Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2014 (see 14011423).
