The US State Department has issued a notice that it received an application from the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) for a presidential permit to operate and maintain the Brownsville West Rail Bypass International Bridge on the U.S.-Mexico Border West of Brownsville, Texas.
The current presidential permit for the Brownsville West Rail Bypass International Bridge is held by Cameron County, Texas. The Department is circulating this application to relevant federal agencies for review and comment. Under E.O. 11423, the Department has the responsibility to determine, taking into account input from these agencies and other stakeholders, whether transferring the presidential permit from Cameron County to UPRR would serve the national interest.
