Additional Backup Information:
The agreement with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is for the Department of Aviation’s reimbursement of CBP costs related to providing additional or expanded services outside of CBP’s normal operating hours at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (Airport), if and when those services are needed. An anticipated increase in international flights at the Airport may necessitate CBP services in addition to the baseline services appropriated to the Airport. Federal law mandates reimbursement of the additional service costs. Although the Airport will reimburse CBP, it will recover most, if not all, of the additional costs expended from the international flight providers benefitted by the additional or expanded services. This item authorizes funding under the agreement through January 2029.
