CBP Issues Language Access Plan
CBP issued a Language Access Plan (LAP) implements DHS’s language access policy and establishes a system within CBP to implement Executive Order 13166, which requires, among other things, that each Federal agency “examine the services it provides and develop and implement a system by which LEP persons can meaningfully access those services consistent with, and without unduly burdening, the fundamental mission of the agency.” In addition to describing CBP’s current language access activities, the Plan includes steps to improve and increase language services for LEP individuals in operations, services, activities, and programs across CBP.
