Appendix 2: Proposed Choice Experiment Design

Description of variables:
x1 = North Full Body Contact: 2 levels. Current Condition is level 1, or safe wading only
x2 = South Full Body Contact: 2 levels. Current Condition is level 1, or safe wading only
x3 = North Flow & Forest: 3 levels. Current Condition is level 3, Expected Future is level 1
x4 = South Flow & Forest: 3 levels. Current Condition is level 3, Expected Future is level 1
x5 = Cost to household per year, 6 levels. Cost options range from zero (Expected Future and level 1), $10, $20, $30, $40, and $60 (level 6)

Nine survey blocks are proposed, of four choice questions (sets) each. The third alternative is always the Expected Future, no cost alternative.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Pascagoula River, Pascagoula, MS

AGENCY: Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

ACTION: Notification of temporary deviation from regulations; request
for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from how the
CSX Transportation railroad drawbridge across the Pascagoula River,
mile 1.5, Pascagoula, MS will be operated. The bridge will continue to
open according to the drawbridge regulations but the bridge tender will
operate this bridge from a remote location at the CSX railroad terminal
in Mobile, Alabama. The Coast Guard is seeking comments from the public
regarding these proposed changes.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 7 a.m. on September 7, 2022,
until March 6, 2023.
    Comments and relate material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before November 7, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2022-0298 using Federal Decision Making Portal at https://www.regulations.gov.
    See the ``Public Participation and Request for Comments'' portion
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for instructions on submitting
comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this test
deviation, call or email Douglas Blakemore, Eighth Coast Guard District
Bridge Administration Branch Chief at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis

    The CSX Transportation railroad drawbridge crosses the Pascagoula
River, mile 1.5, Pascagoula, MS. The bridge will continue to open
according to the drawbridge regulations but the bridge tender will
operate this bridge from a remote location at the CSX railroad terminal
in Mobile, Alabama. This bridge has an eight foot vertical clearance at
mean high water, an unlimited vertical clearance when in the open to
vessel position and a 140' horizontal clearance. The bridge operates
according to 33 CFR 117.5.
    CSX Transportation has requested to operate this bridge remotely
from their railroad terminal in Mobile, AL. CSX has installed a remote
operation system at the bridge and a remote control center, located in
Mobile, AL. At the bridge, CSX has installed infrared cameras, closed
circuit cameras and TVs, communication systems and information
technology systems on the bridge that allow an operator from Mobile to
monitor and control the bridge. This waterway is used primarily by
recreational boats and small towing vessels and opens to vessels
approximately 17 times per day.
    The Coast Guard will evaluate the impact of this test on vessels by
analyzing CSX bridge tender logs and public comments.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through
our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused by the test deviation.

    The Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking under the
same name and docket number as this test deviation at 87 FR 50276
(August 16, 2022). Both documents can be found at https://www.regulations.gov and comments can be made to either document. In
accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to its
regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT for the division listed at the end of the
pesticide petition summary of interest.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, EPA
seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health
impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. EPA is taking public comment on the
requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing any
particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the pesticide
petitions described in this document contain the data or information
prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however,
EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide
petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends to
evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data may
be needed before EPA can make final determinations on these pesticide
petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petitions so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on these requests for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petitions may be obtained
through the petition summaries referenced in this unit.
