Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Finding of No Practicable Alternative for the Expansion and Modernization of the Raul Hector Castro Land Port of Entry and Proposed Commercial Land Port of Entry in Douglas, Arizona, 5345-5346 [2023-01549]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 18 / Friday, January 27, 2023 / Notices hourly burden per banking organization already subject to Section 1007.104 recordkeeping requirements to 7.0 hours and to revise the average annual estimated hourly burden per banking organization newly subject to Section 1007.104 recordkeeping requirements to 114.3 hours. This represents a change from the Board’s existing methodology, which estimates that the combined Section 1007.103(e) and Section 1007.104 average annual estimated hourly burden for all banking organizations is 118.0 hours. The Board is proposing this change to reflect that the limited number of new banking organization respondents would incur a higher one-time burden to implement the requirements, whereas the majority of banking organization respondents that have already implemented the requirements would incur a much lower ongoing burden. Finally, the Board has determined that it is more accurate to reflect the information collection burden associated with Section 1007.105 requirements as disclosure requirements instead of as recordkeeping requirements, as was done previously. The disclosures associated with Section 1007.105—disclosure of unique identifier—are primarily electronic and produce de minimis burden. Therefore, the Board is proposing to not estimate any associated burden for these disclosures. Frequency: Annually. Respondents: The Board’s CFPB G panel comprises state member banks (SMBs) with $10 billion or less in total assets that are not affiliates of insured depository institutions with total assets of more than $10 billion; subsidiaries of such SMBs that are not functionally regulated within the meaning of section 5(c)(5) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956; branches and agencies of foreign banks (other than federal branches, federal agencies, and insured state branches of foreign banks); commercial lending companies owned or controlled by foreign banks (collectively, banking organizations); and the employees of these banking organizations who act as residential MLOs. Total estimated number of respondents: 17,467. Total estimated change in burden: (63,951). Total estimated annual burden hours: 23,366.2 2 More detailed information regarding this collection, including more detailed burden estimates, can be found in the OMB Supporting Statement posted at https://www.federalreserve.gov/ apps/reportingforms/home/review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The RHC LPOE is a full-service, multi-modal port, where CBP currently inspects commercially-owned vehicles (COVs), privately-owned vehicles (POVs), and pedestrians at the U.S.Mexico border in Douglas, Arizona. The current facilities at the RHC LPOE no longer function adequately given the site constraints, steady increase in traffic, and outdated facilities and technologies. The interaction between COVs, POVs, and pedestrian traffic is also a concern at the RHC LPOE. Inadequate pathways and separations between traffic types cause safety and security issues for CBP officers and the general public. As downtown Douglas is located just north of the RHC LPOE, traffic congestion and trucks hauling hazardous materials through the city are also a concern in the community. The purpose of the project is for GSA to support CBP’s mission by bringing the RHC LPOE operations in line with current land port design standards and operational requirements of CBP while addressing existing operational deficiencies. The project is needed to: improve capacity and functionality of the LPOE to meet future demand while maintaining the capability to meet border security initiatives; ensure the safety and security for workers and users of the LPOE; and improve traffic E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1 5346 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 18 / Friday, January 27, 2023 / Notices congestion and safety for the City of Douglas. The Proposed Action would comprise of: (1) construction of a new commercial port facility dedicated to COVs, located approximately 5 miles west of the existing RHC LPOE; and (2) expansion and modernization of existing RHC LPOE facilities to serve as a noncommercial facility for POVs and pedestrians. Expansion and modernization of existing RHC LPOE facilities would require a multi-phase construction plan to ensure that operations are continuous and that safety and security of the RHC LPOE are maintained. Action alternatives were analyzed that consider both sequential and concurrent construction at both sites. Both action alternatives would take place within 100-year and 500-year floodplains at the existing RHC LPOE. In compliance with Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management), GSA prepared a Draft FONPA addressing potential impacts on floodplains, which is included in the DEIS for public review and comment. As described in the DEIS, GSA would follow regulatory compliance (e.g., measures outlined in the Arizona Stormwater General Construction Permit) and incorporate design standards at the RHC LPOE to minimize impacts to floodplains. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Public Comment Period The views and comments of the public are necessary in helping GSA in its decision-making process with impacts to environmental, cultural, and economic impacts.

Background and Brief Description CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) established a Generic Clearance to support information collection for cognitive testing and pilot testing activities. Information collections that support the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and other NCCDPHP programs are expected to be the major focus of activity under this Generic. Additional information collections may also be considered for submission through this Generic Clearance if they are relevant to BRFSS and NCCDPHP programs or collaborations. Cognitive testing and pilot testing are methodological procedures conducted to prepare for a large scale or key information collection. Cognitive and pilot testing activities are designed to improve information quality and the efficiency of information collection by addressing issues such as the use of new or existing survey questions, question formatting, survey protocols, data collection software systems and other related processes. Cognitive testing is a technique used to clarify the meaning of survey questions and/or the response options for questions. Cognitive testing contributes to the understanding of the validity and reliability of questions used for a variety of public health purposes, and is conducted early in the process of considering questions for use in a survey or other information collection activity. This type of testing is usually conducted in a controlled setting, such as an office setting. Respondents participate in a discussion or interview with a trained interviewer and may respond individually or as members of focus groups. E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1

congestion and safety for the City of Douglas.
    The Proposed Action would comprise of: (1) construction of a new 
commercial port facility dedicated to COVs, located approximately 5 
miles west of the existing RHC LPOE; and (2) expansion and 
modernization of existing RHC LPOE facilities to serve as a 
noncommercial facility for POVs and pedestrians. Expansion and 
modernization of existing RHC LPOE facilities would require a multi-
phase construction plan to ensure that operations are continuous and 
that safety and security of the RHC LPOE are maintained. Action 
alternatives were analyzed that consider both sequential and concurrent 
construction at both sites.
    Both action alternatives would take place within 100-year and 500-
