The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s objective is to ensure motor carriers operating commercial vehicles entering the United States from a foreign country are in compliance with commercial vehicle safety standards and regulations, financial responsibility regulations and registration requirements of the United States, and to ensure drivers of those vehicles are qualified and properly licenses to operate the commercial vehicle. The Border Enforcement Grant program purpose has been incorporated into the FMCSA Motor Carrier Safety Assistance formula grant program and the FMCSA High Priority grant program due to changes in FMCSA’s authorization under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. No. § 114-94, §§ 5101(a) and 5101(c) (2015), 49 U.S.C. §§ 31102(a)-(k), 31104 (2016), as amended). Awards are no longer being made under this CFDA; however, pre-existing grants will remain active until project completion and/or period of performance on the individual grant agreements expires. For more information on this change, visit FMCSA CFDA number 20.218.

The FMCSA provided BEG funds to ensure that motor carriers and drivers operating CMVs in international commerce (primarily those entering the United States from a foreign country) are in compliance with U.S. CMV safety standards and regulations, financial responsibility regulations, registration requirements, and that the drivers of those vehicles are qualified and properly licensed to operate a CMV in the United States. In FY 2016 $32,000,000 grants were awarded to 15 States for inspections of international carriers of commerce, with 229,213 inspections on motor carriers conducted.
Starting in FY 2017, the BEG was consolidated into the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSP) formula grant and will no longer exist as a stand-alone grant program.
