Regulatory Cooperation and Cross Border Security Issues, Concerns and Recommendations

Over the past few weeks, PNWER has been collecting stakeholder ideas and comments on regulatory reforms to increase the competitiveness of our shared economy between the U.S. and Canada. All submissions were due Monday, April 18. The results have now been submitted to both the US Department of Commerce and the US Department of Homeland Security. We would like to thank everyone who provided input through this process.  The comments collected include issues, concerns and recommendations.  PNWER working groups will be considering these comments and recommendations now through the PNWER Summit in July, 2011 and all recommendations have not yet been endorsed by the PNWER Board. View the submitted comments, and the PNWER Proposal to US DHS and US DOC on Implementing the Regional Cooperation Council and "Beyond the Border" Working Group 

The issues, concerns and recommendations listed below are organized by PNWER Working Group (Agriculture, Border, Energy, Public Health, Homeland Security and Disaster Resilience, Trade and Economic Development and Workforce).  This is the beginning of a process which will include an ongoing discussion at the Portland Summit.
