PUBLIC SUBMISSION As of: 7/30/26, 4:52 PM Received: July 11, 2026 Status: Draft Tracking No. mrg-q8xz-dr1i Comments Due: July 20, 2026 Submission Type: Web Docket: USBC-2026-0166 Commodity Flow Survey Comment On: USBC-2026-0166-0001 Commodity Flow Survey Federal Register Notice Document: USBC-2026-0166-DRAFT-0004 Comment on FR Doc # 2026-10118 Submitter Information Name: Jerry Parker Address: BENSON, NC, 27504 Email: [email protected] Phone: [email protected] General Comment My comment is entirely my personal opinion and not substantiated by any kind of file or media content. I live rural mid North Carolina. I was raised on a farm, and we had a very meager upbringing with just enough income to feed and clothe us. I have had no formal college education but did attend several quarters at a nearby community college. My wife and I are both retired, due mainly to health, more than desire not to work. We both receive Social Security and we do have substantial savings but are by no means rich. This information may not be relevant to you but, as I said my comments are completely my opinion and is relevant to my train of thought while completing the survey. I am a very frugal man but are extremely environmental as well. We both shop a lot online, mainly to find the best deal on something we need or want. Amazon and Walmart are my major vendors for front door delivery. In the end it does usually save us a few dollars, but to what expense to the environment. Both use all kinds of delivery methods, FedEx, UPS, company vehicles and private drivers. My concern is that these methods, although they do save me gas, may contribute much more to global warming than individuals driving to the store to pick things up. So, my comment is more of a question rather than a statement. I hope you can find a way to determine that and include it in your report when it is complete.
