# §290n–4. Regional offices


The [Commission](/usc/22/290n–6.md?p=1) may designate or establish one border health office in each of the States of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Such office should be located within the [United States-Mexico Border Area](/usc/22/290n–6.md?p=4), and should be coordinated with—

- (1) State border health offices; and
- (2) local nonprofit organizations designated by the State’s chief executive officer and directly involved in border health issues.

If feasible to avoid duplicative efforts, the [Commission](/usc/22/290n–6.md?p=1) offices should be located in existing State or local nonprofit offices. The [Commission](/usc/22/290n–6.md?p=1) should provide adequate compensation for cooperative efforts and resources.
