SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Shipper Interview for Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway: Brazos River Flood Gates and Colorado River
Locks Study; Form Number; OMB Control Number 0710-GIWW.
Needs and Uses: Information from the questionnaire is needed to
formulate and evaluate alternative water resources development plans in
accordance with the Principles and Guidelines for Water Related Land
Resources Implementation Studies, promulgated by the U.S. Water
Resources Council, 1983, which specifically identifies interviews with
shippers, carriers and port officials as well as commodity consultants
and experts to; identify commodity types, study area, commodity flow,
estimate transportation cost and forecast waterway use.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District, (SWG) seeks to
conduct a survey of commercial shipping companies that use the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) to transport commodities along the Texas
Coast. The area includes the crossings of the Brazos River and Colorado
River in Texas. SWG will incorporate survey information into a General
Investigation Feasibility Study Update of long term solutions to
shoaling and allisions near the intersections of the GIWW and the
Brazos and Colorado rivers that could result in a potential loss of the
navigation pool at the flood gates and locks. As part of the study, we
are surveying shippers that use the GIWW to help us better understand
the potential economic effects of a long-term disruption in navigation
through the area. Part of the study requires an examination of how
shippers would respond if navigation crossing the Brazos River and
Colorado River was restricted for an extended period, or if the flood
gates and locks are widened. The survey will provide information to
determine if tentative project costs would be justified by reducing
risks of losing the navigation pool along the GIWW.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 50.
Number of Respondents: 50.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 50.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency: Once.
Dated: March 15, 2022.
