Dr. Rand Paul's Legislation Designating CVG as USFWS Port of Entry Signed into Law by President Biden
On Thursday, in a win for the people of Kentucky and sound trade policy, my amendment to streamline the layover of goods at the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) was signed into law by President Biden. My amendment, which was included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act (H.R. 3935), recognizes the pivotal role of CVG, one of the largest airports in cargo volume, by beginning the process of adding it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) list of Designated Ports. This designation authorizes CVG to directly process shipments of wildlife and wildlife-derived products, eliminating logistical nightmares, significantly reducing costs, and creating job opportunities for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Adding Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport as a Designated Port is a strategic move that enhances efficiency, reduces costs, creates jobs for Kentucky, and aligns it with the demands of global commerce. My amendment is a win-win, not just for our Commonwealth but for the national economy.
