2012 Spring TBWG CBP Washington Updates
TBWG: Washington Updates Agenda • LPOE Magnitude of Need and Historic NB Appropriations • Reevaluating CBP’s LPOE Modernization Strategy • Public-Private Partnerships • Strategic Planning 2.0 2
TBWG: Washington Updates LPOE Magnitude of Need & Historic NB Appropriations • Through its FY06 Strategic Resource Assessments, CBP identified a $6B need to recapitalize its LPOE portfolio, which consists of 122 northern border ports and 45 southern border ports • Since FY07, Congress has appropriated $1.4B to LPOE modernization, $668M of which has been allocated towards northern border ports • The gap between annual appropriations and resource needs continues to grow as unmet LPOE construction, sustainment, and technology costs rise 3
TBWG: Washington UpdatesReevaluating CBP’s LPOE Modernization Strategy • Continue to pursue large-scale modernization projects in anticipation of future funding • Recent appropriations have been unfavorable to large-scale projects • Maintain scope and phase projects to parse funding needs across multiple fiscal years • Smaller, more fiscally viable funding requests are not a guarantee of design/construction continuity • Continue to explore non-traditional funding mechanisms • Public Private Partnerships • Revisit of CBP’s capital and non-capital investment planning methodology • Strategic Planning 2.0
TBWG: Washington UpdatesPublic-Private Partnerships • Organizational recognition and push for Public Private Partnerships • Supportive of Commissioner’s FY12 priority to cut operating and overhead expenses and actively engage in cost savings initiatives • PPPs would provide access to otherwise unavailable fiscal resources and would enable CBP to leverage the innovative, cost efficient, and streamlined solutions associated with private industry facilities and services • Lack of express statutory authority prohibits DHS and GSA from entering into LPOE infrastructure PPPs • CBP and GSA continue to evaluate PPP solutions such as: • Partnering opportunities with USDOT who has the ability to form partnerships with state departments of transportation • Encouraging legislation that’s favorable to CBP/GSA PPP arrangements • Developing long-term PPP strategies that align with CBP’s planning methodology
TBWG: Washington UpdatesStrategic Planning 2.0 • On-going revisit of legacy SRA and Capital Investment Process • SP2.0 to be more inclusive of broader stakeholder perspectives, more predictive and responsive to fiscal constraints, and will ultimately drive infrastructure improvements that are more targeted and adaptive to CBP’s fast-evolving mission • SP2.0 process pilots are in the works and are targeted for completion by 2013 with a full roll-out in 2014 • CBP to pilot one or more northern border locations • CBP in the process of data sourcing to develop baseline set of data points • New process will facilitate smarter LPOE investment decision making and will feature financing review sub-processes that marry technical solutions with traditional and non-traditional funding sources
