Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 237 / Friday, December 9, 2011 / Notices

Our countries will seek to jointly
address threats at the earliest point
possible, while working together to
facilitate the flows of legitimate travel
and trade.
Beyond the Border identifies four key
areas of cooperation: Addressing
Threats Early; Trade Facilitation,
Economic Growth, and Jobs; Integrated
Cross-Border Law Enforcement; and
Critical Infrastructure and
Cybersecurity. Progress in these areas
will be underpinned by a respect for the
sovereignty, civil rights and civil
liberties, privacy protections, and legal
frameworks of both countries.
On December 7, 2011, President
Barack Obama and Prime Minister
Harper announced the Beyond the
Border Action Plan, which describes
specific initiatives our countries intend
to undertake to achieve Beyond the
Border’s goals of perimeter security and
economic competitiveness. With this

Homeland Security (DHS), on behalf of

input on the Beyond the Border Action
Plan.
