SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
patent application claims a method by
which a biologically-natural material
can be produced in bioreactors and
transformed for use as a dry solid. The
resulting biopolymer material can be
used in place of synthetic, petroleumbased polymers for soil amendment
applications to achieve increased soil

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:55 May 24, 2012
Jkt 226001
It is proposed that the hours
of availability at Jonesville and
Columbia Locks on the Ouachita and
Black Rivers will be reduced from the
current schedule of 24 hours per day, 7
days per week, 365 days per year to 18
hours per day, separated into two 9 hour
periods, 5 a.m. to 2 p.m., and 5 p.m. to
2 a.m., 7 days per week, 365 days per
year. It is also proposed that the hours
of availability at Felsenthal and H.K.
Thatcher Locks on the Ouachita and
Black Rivers will be reduced from the
current schedule of 24 hours per day, 7
days per week, 365 days per year to 16
hours per day, separated into two 8 hour
periods, 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 5 p.m. to
1 a.m., 7 days per week, 365 days per
year. Constrained funding and fiscal
deficit have led to reduced operation
and maintenance funding on the
Ouachita/Black Waterway. The
intended effect is to provide lock
availability that matches existing lock
usage and to help ensure that minimal
dredging needs will be met. Pool levels
will not be affected by change of
operating hours.
DATES: Proposed implementation date is
July 29, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
to Mr. James V. Ross, Chief, Operations
Division, Vicksburg District, US Army
Corps of Engineers, 4155 Clay Street,
Vicksburg, MS 39183, or deliver them to
Mr. Ross between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday
at the address above. Comments
received and other materials relevant to
the proposed reduction in hours of lock
availability will be posted on the
Vicksburg District Web site, https://
www.mvk.usace.army.mil/.
