OSRA Webinar: Your organization’s roles and responsibilities to fulfil the Ocean Shipping and Reform Act of 2022 mandate Transcript January 17, 2023 1 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.660 Sou, Brandon: Looks like we're still getting some folks calling in, so maybe another few seconds here. 2 00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:37.539 Sou, Brandon: All Righty, I think in the interest of time we can go ahead and get this started. Hello, everyone. Thank you very much for your time this Tuesday afternoon. 3 00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:49.769 Sou, Brandon: My name is Brandon Sue, and I am a consultant with Deloitte, consulting on behalf of the Us. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation statistics also known as Bts. 4 00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:58.780 Sou, Brandon: I would like to welcome you all to a Webinar to discuss the Ocean Shipping and Reform Act of two thousand and twenty, two or Osborne twenty two for short, 5 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:04.859 Sou, Brandon: along with your organization's, roles, and responsibilities to fulfill this Congressional mandate. 6 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:21.869 Sou, Brandon: Now, before we continue in regard to housekeeping items, I'd like to request you all to please mute yourselves, if not already, and please save you questions until the end of the presentation, or feel free to type them in the chat. During the conversation 7 00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:27.400 Sou, Brandon: we will have some time set up for A. Q. And a session. Towards the end of this Webinar 8 00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:37.529 Sou, Brandon: also. I'd like to mention that this meeting is being recorded, and will be distributed to the group following this event and made available on the Bts website. 9 00:01:38.970 --> 00:01:53.659 Sou, Brandon: So the reason you were all invited to this Webinar is because your organization has been identified as a mandated data provider for Osborough, two thousand and twenty two, which will be facilitated by Bts next slide. Please 10 00:01:56.310 --> 00:02:14.500 Sou, Brandon: to provide some background on the Bureau of Transportation Statistics of the Department of Transportation or Bts. The Bureau is one of the thirteen Federal statistical agencies. Bts strives to provide context to decision makers and the public for understanding statistics on transportation 11 00:02:14.890 --> 00:02:24.840 Mike Wells-DCLI: bts, assures credibility of its products and services through rigorous analysis, transparent data, quality and organizational independence. 12 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:41.179 Sou, Brandon: Dts also promotes innovative methods of data collection, analysis, visualization, and dissemination to improve operational efficiency and create relevant information products that bring transportation to the forefront of societal discourse and awareness. 13 00:02:41.860 --> 00:02:43.600 Sou, Brandon: Next slide, please. 14 00:02:44.320 --> 00:03:07.379 Sou, Brandon: I now like to introduce some key Osborne personnel. These individuals are instrumental to to the department of transportation's execution abroad Osborne twenty two compliance and serve as key resources on the implications of this Congressional mandate. So first, from the office of data development and standards, we have Chachi Fan, Phd. Office director. 15 00:03:07.830 --> 00:03:13.159 Sou, Brandon: We then have April, Gatsby, Phd. Mathematical statistician. 16 00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:19.190 Sou, Brandon: We have Janine Mcfadden, senior Survey statistician, osborne project manager, 17 00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:25.900 Sou, Brandon: Clara Retrovsky senior Survey statistician confidentiality officer 18 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:44.480 Sou, Brandon: with the office of transportation Analysis or Ota. We have Matthew Chambers senior transportation analyst, and finally, we have April Taylor senior freight specialist who is on detail from the Economic Research Service at the Us. Department of Agriculture. 19 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.069 Sou, Brandon: I'd now like to hand this over to Janine Mcfadden to continue the discussion with today's agenda. 20 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.270 Sou, Brandon: I I think you muted Janine. 21 00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:28.070 McFadden, Janine (OST): Thank you so much. Thank you for the introduction, Brandon. Um, and thank you all for being here today. Um. We hope that this booked our is informative for you. All this this Webinar is really for those of you who joined us outside of our our organization so like, Brandon said at the end of this, Webinar, we hope to take your questions and get as many of those answered as possible. So 22 00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:31.019 McFadden, Janine (OST): um! Until then. I want to first start 23 00:04:31.030 --> 00:04:50.869 McFadden, Janine (OST): with our agenda for today. Um! The first part of this, Webinar. We want to provide you with an overview of What, Osmond? Twenty two is, what organizations are required to participate, what's required of your organization, and and how you go about submitting your information to 24 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:51.860 and it. 25 00:04:52.030 --> 00:05:19.630 McFadden, Janine (OST): And then the second part of the Webinar is about um, really about transparency, how we collect your data. Um, and how we process it after we collect it from you. Um. So we'll go into some specifics such as um how we work with the data, how we calculate straight twelve time and out of service rates what the final product will look like, and how bts your data secure and confidential process. 26 00:05:23.150 --> 00:05:41.989 So for a background on osborne twenty-two um azer twenty two was announced in June of two thousand and twenty-two um, and it was the bill itself revises the requirements governing ocean shipping for the objective of recruiting efficiency, Competitiveness 27 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.209 of the nation's ocean transportation system. 28 00:05:47.070 --> 00:06:05.049 McFadden, Janine (OST): The Act aims to promote growth and development of Us. Exports by leveling the playing field for domestic shippers and specifically Section sixteen within azure, twenty, two. Which is why we're all here today. Um. Directs Bts to Collect street, dwell time and out of service data. 29 00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:08.320 McFadden, Janine (OST): So for this. 30 00:06:08.610 --> 00:06:28.280 McFadden, Janine (OST): I'll start by saying that we we really promote that. You go um to our website and and take a look at the bill itself. Um! And and you can do that actually by just Googling Os for twenty two, if you haven't credit already. Um! It's also on our awesome web page. But Here are some some 31 00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:32.569 highlights from Section sixteen, which will drive the conversation today. 32 00:06:32.640 --> 00:06:35.880 McFadden, Janine (OST): So who is required to participate? 33 00:06:36.430 --> 00:06:50.149 McFadden, Janine (OST): So Bts was tasked to collect information from each court, marine, terminal operator, and Chelsea, owner or provider, with a fleet of over fifty chassis that supply chassis for a fee. 34 00:06:51.560 --> 00:07:09.589 McFadden, Janine (OST): Also to be mentioned, is what information is being asked to be submitted, and at a very high level it's total streaked well. Time from all causes of marine containers and marine container chassis and the average out of service percentage. 35 00:07:10.840 --> 00:07:20.350 McFadden, Janine (OST): And then the last highlight I want to bring up about Section Sixteen is the frequency of submission 36 00:07:20.410 --> 00:07:37.480 McFadden, Janine (OST): within the bill. It is stated that the Bts is required to publish the data on a monthly basis, beginning two hundred and forty days after the day of entitlement of the act which ends up, being February tenth of two thousand and twenty three, which is why 37 00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:50.240 McFadden, Janine (OST): he should have received a letter last, you know, last week on Tuesday, January tenth. Um for the first request of data, so that we can meet this mandate on February tenth of next month. 38 00:07:52.140 --> 00:08:09.010 McFadden, Janine (OST): So also within that letter that you should have received, or or someone at your organization should have received, was this specific data request, And then the request of two parts. Again. We're we're collecting street dwell time, information and out of service. Um chassis information. 39 00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:37.649 McFadden, Janine (OST): So for the street, twelve time information uh we are collecting the following specifics. Um, including the chassis. Id the size of the Trassy the all the information specifically the date and timestamp and the location um by street address Um Cdc. And the same information. But in the transactional information as well as the market, 40 00:08:39.530 --> 00:08:43.179 McFadden, Janine (OST): the out of service rate information, it collects 41 00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:50.889 McFadden, Janine (OST): similar information, but a little different. It collects the market, the size and the location data. 42 00:08:50.900 --> 00:09:08.890 McFadden, Janine (OST): Um, in the same way as the street dwell. Time data does, but for the out-of-service chassis information we are. We are asking for just the counts of out of service chassis and the total number of chassis by location. 43 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.709 Okay. So now that we have a little bit of an overview, 44 00:09:16.510 --> 00:09:22.659 McFadden, Janine (OST): and if you don't mind um, please mute your Mike, if you have a chance 45 00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:34.050 McFadden, Janine (OST): so for how you submit your information. So the format that we expect to get for the most part is excel or other spreadsheet. 46 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:42.570 McFadden, Janine (OST): The secure data portal was set up by bts only for the purposes of collecting Alzheimer's data, 47 00:09:42.580 --> 00:10:04.280 McFadden, Janine (OST): and that portal is a variable available only to the companies that we invite to um participate in Osborough, and specifically we are asking for companies to provide to us just one or two or three names of persons who will be the specific point of contact to submit their data each month. 48 00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:20.089 McFadden, Janine (OST): Um. So for this we're asking for those specific individuals email addresses to be sent to us so that we can create them. An account in the portal, and so that they can get um. We can then send them more specific information as to how to set up their account. 49 00:10:20.950 --> 00:10:24.399 McFadden, Janine (OST): Um, so they can be in making submissions after that time. 50 00:10:26.430 --> 00:10:43.670 McFadden, Janine (OST): So for more specifics on the submissions. Um, to start with timeframe again, you should have all received your first um our initial data request last week. And so to use this data press as an example, 51 00:10:44.170 --> 00:10:59.109 McFadden, Janine (OST): we've we've asked for that first submission to be made between January tenth and fifteenth, and the information that was requested was for December, one through thirty One information, 52 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:05.500 McFadden, Janine (OST): and that information will be published on February the tenth 53 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.310 McFadden, Janine (OST): month. So 54 00:11:07.430 --> 00:11:19.680 McFadden, Janine (OST): each month data providers will be notified by us. Um. To request that prior month information between the tenth and the fifteenth, and then we will publish the data, 55 00:11:20.250 --> 00:11:22.070 McFadden, Janine (OST): the resulting data 56 00:11:22.180 --> 00:11:23.229 McFadden, Janine (OST): on the tenth of the 57 00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:31.150 McFadden, Janine (OST): Okay. And so um, 58 00:11:31.160 --> 00:11:54.340 McFadden, Janine (OST): you know, you might be asking yourself, Why should I comply with this. Um! What are the data uses? What's in it for me? Um. In Section Sixteen specifically directs the collection of street dwell time and out of service percentage data to produce statistics, to be used to improve chassis and ocean shipping container management. But um, moreover, 59 00:11:54.450 --> 00:12:02.349 McFadden, Janine (OST): Browser seeks to increase transparency within the industry to help improve productivity and avoid future crises. 60 00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:16.019 McFadden, Janine (OST): Um. And and we also hope that Osborne will provide data-driven decision making within your organization, including more good trans industry-wide performance, metrics and data points for customer insights. 61 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:30.920 McFadden, Janine (OST): So, in short, to wrap up this first part of the webinar bts has been tasked to collect chassis and marine container data. In compliance with Section sixteen of Azra twenty. Two 62 00:12:30.930 --> 00:12:43.929 McFadden, Janine (OST): bts will only publish statistics that will neither reveal information about respondents nor their individual operations, and this is really important, and we take it very serious. 63 00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:48.799 McFadden, Janine (OST): The raw data is collected for statistical purposes only 64 00:12:48.810 --> 00:12:54.399 McFadden, Janine (OST): immune from court subpoena and freedom of information or foia requests 65 00:12:54.740 --> 00:13:04.499 McFadden, Janine (OST): only Bts staff, with a need to know will have access to the raw data which will otherwise not be shared outside of bts. 66 00:13:04.510 --> 00:13:15.020 McFadden, Janine (OST): And lastly, data providers will only have access to upload data for submission into the secure data portal, and will not have any access to viewing data within the portal. 67 00:13:18.610 --> 00:13:34.780 McFadden, Janine (OST): So now we'll move on to this next part of the Webinar, which is, you know, what we do when we receive the data. And again, this is really for transparency sake, and and to to let you know how we work with the data. Um, and how we derive the statistics that we do 68 00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:36.220 McFadden, Janine (OST): so 69 00:13:36.530 --> 00:13:48.570 McFadden, Janine (OST): for this I'm. Displaying here all fictitious information i'll start with. This is just made up data for illustrative purposes. So this is 70 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:58.489 McFadden, Janine (OST): this should be what your data looks like when it comes to us again. A spreadsheet sort of format with the the data items that we've requested, and 71 00:13:58.500 --> 00:14:13.780 McFadden, Janine (OST): the first thing we'll do is we'll just review um your spreadsheet. If there are any notes or dictation within the spreadsheet, we'll take a look at that, and see if it's needed for us to review um to make sense and analyze your data appropriately, 72 00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:41.440 McFadden, Janine (OST): and then we'll go ahead and look for any missing values. Um! And And if we see that there's a lot of missing um values that's when we may reach back out. Or if there are very few data items where we could perhaps um look at prior submissions to fill in that missing information, such as uh the size of a chassis or a little that information up elsewhere. Then we'll. We'll go ahead and do that on our 73 00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:47.449 McFadden, Janine (OST): reduce your burden, but that will be our first step, 74 00:14:48.310 --> 00:15:17.229 McFadden, Janine (OST): and then from there we'll start to um check for an evening and data field consistencies. So we fully expect that each provider submitting data will have their own naming convention. Um. And in the column, you see, or the I'm sorry the um Yes, the columns in blue, so as you can see here, Provider, one and provider, two in our example again. This is all um made of information. Um! The first provider calls a 75 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:28.420 McFadden, Janine (OST): the hashtag, and the next one us its chassis. Id so we'll go ahead and match those headers up so that we can merge those data fields. 76 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:41.230 McFadden, Janine (OST): And then the next thing we'll do is we'll identify geography. So um, using the address information provided in the data submission. We will um, 77 00:15:41.280 --> 00:15:45.229 McFadden, Janine (OST): and we will um take that address, and we will 78 00:15:45.240 --> 00:16:10.059 McFadden, Janine (OST): define it to one of our markets. Um across all providers, so each provider will meet. Label will provide a market. But we will then further define that within our methodology, so that there's consistency across all data, submissions and and for our publication purposes. So once we have your data, we will identify um the the market and um 79 00:16:10.230 --> 00:16:16.650 McFadden, Janine (OST): we'll, we'll further aggregate that data into a regional or national level. 80 00:16:18.070 --> 00:16:32.150 McFadden, Janine (OST): And then we'll begin to combine the data. So now that we make consistency amongst the headers, we've um consistently identified locations and markets. We'll go ahead and combine all the data. So the calculations can be made. 81 00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:51.339 McFadden, Janine (OST): But before we do that our last step will be the data. Um: so. And these two examples. Here we have one example on the left and one on the right, Tina Provider, one and Data Provider two, both list the same entry. Um has the same chassis, id, 82 00:16:51.560 --> 00:17:21.430 McFadden, Janine (OST): and it has the same outgate and Ingate time. So for this we can um assume that um. Perhaps one is the owner, provider of the chassis. Maybe the other provider releases the chassis, and so they both submitted data. So we'll go ahead and scrub one of these entries to avoid duplication, and and this further reiterate: um the need for the taxi Id um to to make sure that we can identify 83 00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.189 issues like this, and scrub that 84 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.999 McFadden, Janine (OST): scrub things at scurp entries like that. 85 00:17:29.010 --> 00:17:47.530 McFadden, Janine (OST): For the second example, between provider, one and part or two. Again, we have the same trustee. Id um in gate all day time do not match, but there is overlap. So um! This is not something that we would take action on, but would need to further research before making any changes. 86 00:17:50.210 --> 00:17:52.150 McFadden, Janine (OST): So this um 87 00:17:52.530 --> 00:17:58.689 McFadden, Janine (OST): brings us to the next part of the Webinar, which is how we calculate street to all time and out of service rate. 88 00:17:58.990 --> 00:18:01.090 McFadden, Janine (OST): So we'll go through a couple of examples of that 89 00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:24.010 McFadden, Janine (OST): so calculating street dwell time again. This is um. This is all just made up data, and what we have here are four different entries for four different chassis. All information is complete, and over here on the right you can see that we calculated the street twelve time, 90 00:18:24.020 --> 00:18:31.380 McFadden, Janine (OST): and then at the bottom here, Blue, you can see that we averaged over those four different things. 91 00:18:31.390 --> 00:18:51.370 McFadden, Janine (OST): So it's a simple calculation of Ingate outgate to give us that street dwell time, and as a result, as a result, we can say that the um recorded Ah Street real time on average for foot. Chassis is eighteen point seven Ids 92 00:18:54.110 --> 00:18:56.480 McFadden, Janine (OST): calculating out of service rates. 93 00:18:56.490 --> 00:19:16.379 McFadden, Janine (OST): So in this example we have four data providers and those data providers read their instructions correctly, and they provided to us both um out of service chassis counts by location, which we rolled up into a geography we'll call geography a, 94 00:19:16.390 --> 00:19:17.580 McFadden, Janine (OST): and 95 00:19:17.670 --> 00:19:27.410 McFadden, Janine (OST): they secondly reported the total number of chassis that they have an inventory in that location which we were rolled up into geography A. As well. 96 00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:56.460 McFadden, Janine (OST): And so what I what you see here in the um. The box below is that we did not calculate the out of service, percentage or rate by provider. Um! What we did is we added up those out of service counts um to total ah sixty, five in this fictitious example, and the inventory count added up to four hundred and ten chassis, and then we made a simple division 97 00:19:56.470 --> 00:20:01.320 McFadden, Janine (OST): to give us that rate of fifteen point eight, five percent 98 00:20:02.290 --> 00:20:27.719 McFadden, Janine (OST): in addition. I'm going to demonstrate um, and and i'm going to demonstrate this because we've got a lot of questions about it. Um. And the questions really have been why I can I? I know the percentage already of out of service trassies in this particular location. Can I just provide you with that percentage. And the reason why we really need the Count in the inventory count or the out of service account. And the inventory account 99 00:20:27.730 --> 00:20:29.060 McFadden, Janine (OST): is because 100 00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:58.289 McFadden, Janine (OST): this is not provider level information that we are producing statistics on It's it's um, geography, level industry information. So if we were to collect the percentage by provider and make an average, we'd end up with an erroneous calculation of twenty, two point five percent on average, whereas, as you can see here on the previous slide. We didn't calculate 101 00:20:58.300 --> 00:21:11.400 McFadden, Janine (OST): provider. We calculated it by the specific providers within the geography that we specified to come up with that percentage. 102 00:21:11.580 --> 00:21:24.720 McFadden, Janine (OST): I hope that doesn't cause any confusion. Um, but further demonstrates the need for um. The counts um and the the total inventory, so that we can calculate that, based on 103 00:21:26.190 --> 00:21:27.789 McFadden, Janine (OST): my geography. 104 00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:44.029 McFadden, Janine (OST): And so, finally, i'll provide a mock up of what we hope to publish and and this really is a mock-up, because this is our first month of collecting the data, and it's really all going to depend 105 00:21:44.040 --> 00:21:50.699 McFadden, Janine (OST): how we publish this is going to depend on what data we get. So a little bit more on that, 106 00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:58.089 McFadden, Janine (OST): so the monthly data will be aggregated and tabulated at a local regional and national level 107 00:21:58.100 --> 00:22:17.369 McFadden, Janine (OST): that is, provided that there are no disclosure concerns. So at the very least we will produce a national number of um dwell time, statistics, and out of service percentage. Um. Our hope is that if the data allows us 108 00:22:17.380 --> 00:22:26.579 McFadden, Janine (OST): two, we will be able to produce regional level or even regional divisional level statistics. And furthermore, 109 00:22:26.770 --> 00:22:38.349 McFadden, Janine (OST): at the most micro level that we would possibly produce the statistics, if the data allows will be at the local level or Msa level. And you see that mock up here on the right. 110 00:22:41.390 --> 00:22:46.160 McFadden, Janine (OST): So now i'll turn this over to my colleague, Clara Rosovsky. 111 00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:55.799 clara.reschovsky: Hi, there, everybody! I just wanted to give you a little bit more update on some of the 112 00:22:55.810 --> 00:23:15.249 clara.reschovsky: more sort of technical aspects regarding confidentiality. Um Bts is one of the thirteen principles Federal statistical agencies, and on this slide you can see an array of Logos for the various other statistical agencies, and the agencies can work together and are guided by the office of Management budget 113 00:23:15.260 --> 00:23:26.889 clara.reschovsky: Um. The statistical policy directives that would be issues every so often to assure the objectivity and the credibility of agency data products across all of these federal statistical agencies. 114 00:23:26.900 --> 00:23:30.550 And This is essential for private and public decision making, 115 00:23:30.560 --> 00:23:37.790 clara.reschovsky: and the agencies can and do collaborate with respect to confidentiality, data, quality, and statistical issues. 116 00:23:37.800 --> 00:23:45.199 clara.reschovsky: So that's sort of the construct under which Bts operates more generally on all of its data collections. But in addition to Austria as well, 117 00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:46.390 next slide, please. 118 00:23:50.850 --> 00:24:08.889 clara.reschovsky: So one of the major privacy laws that Um Bts operates under is is Zipsy. So sipsy is the confidential information, protection and Statistical Efficiency Act and Zipsy provides a uniform and standardized pledge of confidentiality 119 00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:21.760 clara.reschovsky: to individuals, as well as to businesses, which is very different from all other privacy laws that affect information that is provided to the Federal Government by individuals or businesses. 120 00:24:21.770 --> 00:24:32.999 clara.reschovsky: So sipsy protects information reported, and it goes above and beyond What's your traditional identity of the reporter? So, beyond Pi Ii. Are personally identifiable information 121 00:24:33.150 --> 00:24:52.959 clara.reschovsky: the Zipsy mandate allows for the release of information on emerging trends and patterns, describing the characteristics of the groups without identifying those individuals or organizations. Zipsy also assures that the information recorded will be kept confidential, and only be used for statistical purposes. 122 00:24:52.970 --> 00:24:58.080 clara.reschovsky: The only exception to this is the explicit consent of the reporting entity, 123 00:24:58.120 --> 00:25:10.120 clara.reschovsky: and that the data um provider grants permission to bts in this case. Um for information to be released in an identifiable form, or to be used for any other process. 124 00:25:10.510 --> 00:25:12.000 clara.reschovsky: Next slide, please. 125 00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:26.409 clara.reschovsky: So that statistical purpose that I mentioned on the previous slide really describes that the description, estimation, analysis of the characteristics of the groups without identifying those individuals or organizations, 126 00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:38.920 clara.reschovsky: and that goes into the calculations that Janine was describing earlier on the slides of the analysis that Bts will provide on the information that is provided through the Astrid program. 127 00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:53.210 clara.reschovsky: And this includes all aspects of the data um production of the data, portal and server that the data is reported into maintaining the administrative procedures dictating, and who has access to the data, need to know only 128 00:25:53.220 --> 00:26:03.050 clara.reschovsky: and making sure that any data releases only include information that has been sufficiently aggregated to protect the identity of those who provided the original information. 129 00:26:03.650 --> 00:26:05.120 Next slide, please. 130 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:17.480 clara.reschovsky: So there's some um legal aspects to sipsy as well, and those include um that Bts has the power to invoke sixty as a Federal statistical agency. 131 00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:23.030 clara.reschovsky: Four data collections where appropriate, and that does include the Os for twenty two. 132 00:26:23.490 --> 00:26:37.180 clara.reschovsky: Um. The data collected under Zipsy is immune from legal processes, so that includes court subpoenas, and also um. Any data submitted under sixty cannot be admitted as evidence in a court case. 133 00:26:37.390 --> 00:26:44.060 clara.reschovsky: Also, data submitted under sipsy is exempt from foia. The Freedom of Information Act requests 134 00:26:44.950 --> 00:26:57.469 clara.reschovsky: additionally any Federal employee, contractor or Asian who has access to sipsy data on Bts's behalf, who willingly discloses confidential information, 135 00:26:57.590 --> 00:27:09.180 clara.reschovsky: and and this is under Subc. They face removal from office and or a class e felony conviction that finds up to two hundred and fifty thousand and or imprisonment of up to five years 136 00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:11.300 next one. 137 00:27:12.250 --> 00:27:15.590 clara.reschovsky: So in you know, I mentioned that the the 138 00:27:15.610 --> 00:27:34.650 clara.reschovsky: the Zip-y data, the data that would be collected under the software effort will come in on a secure network. So we have a bts. Our private network, which is separate from the main dot network. So the Bts private network is run separately. Um! It has separate servers presiding within that part of the network. 139 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:45.409 clara.reschovsky: There's no sharing of files between the D Ot main network and the Bts private network, and there's no direct access to the Internet in that private network for anybody working there. 140 00:27:45.720 --> 00:28:00.379 clara.reschovsky: Um, all analysis software um to allow private sorry data analysis within the private network is housed within that network, so that the work can be conducted in the private network, and then backups are maintained within the private network. 141 00:28:00.390 --> 00:28:08.759 clara.reschovsky: This is in contrast to the vot main network which allows access to email the Internet all the conventional dot software that we all use every day, 142 00:28:08.950 --> 00:28:22.369 clara.reschovsky: and it's connected to Dot's main servers to share files with colleagues when appropriate, and it is backed up on on the surfers that the it means maintains it. I'm. Using its protocols for backups. 143 00:28:23.540 --> 00:28:24.900 So next one 144 00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:29.689 clara.reschovsky: I can't get the next one more time. Thanks. 145 00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.520 Okay. 146 00:28:30.540 --> 00:28:43.340 clara.reschovsky: So the last piece of this is Disclosure review. So Bts Staff and the Bts confidentiality officer work joint way together to determine specific conditions for a data release. 147 00:28:43.350 --> 00:28:49.619 clara.reschovsky: So this includes reports, data sets metadata. Anything that would come out of 148 00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:57.100 clara.reschovsky: the process ensures that any data releases include only information that has been sufficiently aggregated, 149 00:28:57.320 --> 00:29:03.279 clara.reschovsky: that the point of that is, to protect the identity of the reporting entity, 150 00:29:03.590 --> 00:29:08.529 clara.reschovsky: also protects the details of what was reported by that reporting entity, The. 151 00:29:08.540 --> 00:29:27.550 clara.reschovsky: And then, as we mentioned earlier. There's geographic aggregation, which is, that's just one of the strategies that we will be using to protect the specific data that is reported into Asra, and that piece is continuously evolving as we did data in and take a look at it and determine what is the appropriate level of aggregation needed. 152 00:29:28.540 --> 00:29:29.880 clara.reschovsky: I think that's it. 153 00:29:29.910 --> 00:29:31.629 clara.reschovsky: I'll take it back to Janine. No, 154 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:54.850 McFadden, Janine (OST): okay, thank you so much, Claire. We really appreciate that. Um, i'm actually going to turn this back over to Brandon. Now. Um to take your questions. Um! I know we've had it the chat box open. I don't know if anyone's place any questions in there to kick it off, but I will put myself on me so we can start taking those questions 155 00:29:55.320 --> 00:30:10.589 Sou, Brandon: fantastic. Thank you. Janine and Clara and the rest of the Dot team for that robust presentation on the Osborough Twenty, two mandate. I'd now like to present some questions we received from the audience during the presentation first off here. 156 00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:25.839 Sou, Brandon: If there are six locations in a city, do we roll them up or report separately? I believe April Taylor did provide a response. She said providers would report those locations separately, but the data will not be published by location. 157 00:30:28.930 --> 00:30:45.430 Sou, Brandon: So I hope that answers that that question Next up in regards to location we have. Does the data collection only apply for the Continental United States? Does this include Puerto Rico, since it's a territory, 158 00:30:51.560 --> 00:30:55.780 Sou, Brandon: So i'll hand this up to Bts to address. 159 00:30:56.290 --> 00:31:13.149 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah, thank you. That's a great question. Um. So at this point we are only including um in North American States, as far as I believe maybe April gets me to give more content on what is in a methodology. 160 00:31:15.450 --> 00:31:19.799 April Gadsby, BTS: Yeah, at this time we're just doing the fifty States 161 00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:49.939 April Taylor: fantastic. Um. Thank you very much for that. Um, Right now. I'll add something to that really quick. It's important to remember that the mandate requires us to look at international equipment. So we're looking at twenty foot, forty foot, and forty-five foot equipment. So much of that the equipment, I think, used for Puerto Rico and other territories, even Alaska and Hawaii as well, a lot of this domestic equipment moved on fifty three foot equipment, So it's important to notice the particular equipment sizes spoken of in the mandate. 162 00:31:55.710 --> 00:32:00.490 Sou, Brandon: great. Thank you very much for that additional context. April. 163 00:32:00.630 --> 00:32:09.299 Sou, Brandon: Next up we have the requirement is to report the top. Twenty five locations Are those locations defined? 164 00:32:11.930 --> 00:32:15.390 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yes, those locations are defined. Um. 165 00:32:15.470 --> 00:32:26.869 McFadden, Janine (OST): I'm sorry i'm gonna keep this back to evil Gatsby again. Um April. Do we have that listed in a methodology. Um, can you remind us? Um. And if not, I can put that on our website this afternoon? 166 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:30.089 April Gadsby, BTS: It's not currently listed in the methodology. 167 00:32:30.100 --> 00:32:33.729 April Gadsby, BTS: I thought we were going to ask for everything to make that national estimate 168 00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:39.460 McFadden, Janine (OST): right. So the the law demands that we we 169 00:32:39.470 --> 00:32:56.889 McFadden, Janine (OST): ah collect information from the top. Twenty five words um, and you know I should. I should back up a little and say that over the past It's been about six months since the law went into enactment, and we have reached out to 170 00:32:56.900 --> 00:33:03.950 McFadden, Janine (OST): several providers at this point to kind of see. You know, gauge, 171 00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:20.410 McFadden, Janine (OST): how we can best collect this data, and it seems as though it would work best to just, you know, provide all your national data regardless of top twenty-five courts, so that you know we could, you know, 172 00:33:20.420 --> 00:33:38.040 McFadden, Janine (OST): do our job on our end without having to worry about um, you know, if it fits into those top twenty-five courts or not. Um! So i'll just go back to by law. It's at the twenty top twenty-five courts, and so we can put that on our website. Um. And And as we 173 00:33:38.900 --> 00:33:54.969 McFadden, Janine (OST): as we work through this, you know just um we can. We can answer more specific company level um questions about those top twenty-five locations. Um. But if you, as your company would like to um submit, 174 00:34:04.060 --> 00:34:06.509 McFadden, Janine (OST): do we have any follow questions on That 175 00:34:12.489 --> 00:34:13.549 Okay, 176 00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:31.109 Sou, Brandon: fantastic? Thank you very much for that Janine. Um. Next up we have. If you lease your equipment to a customer and do not have access to the data associated with the moves of the equipment. How can our company forward these requirements to the customer leasing the equipment? 177 00:34:40.020 --> 00:35:09.939 April Taylor: I'll try to take a step with this. What you need? Um from the way the information that we've collected from the provider so far. Uh yes, there are long term leases that occur uh with other particular companies. Uh, with that guess you can absolutely forward this request to them, because as long as they own, or long term lease or operate uh those more than fifty chassis, they would certainly be within scope. Uh! We would not require you as a provider to provide that kind of information for you 178 00:35:09.950 --> 00:35:18.289 April Taylor: your long-term leases that you do not have transparency to what their operations are, what their gate movements are in that kind of information. 179 00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:23.310 April Taylor: So yes, and you can certainly forward the request to them, because they would be within scope. 180 00:35:23.850 --> 00:35:42.780 April Taylor: I have one follow up. So this is Anthony Nakorado. I actually wrote the question Business controller of commercial trailer leasing um I, my one, follow up is if they don't do it, because again they don't own the equipment, their name's not tied to it. What's the repercussions for us? And how do we ensure that they do it 181 00:35:42.790 --> 00:35:56.280 so that we have no issue because the long-term? We own the equipment we bought it out right. We lease it to them for anywhere from eighty, four months to one hundred and twelve months. I'm: Basically, 182 00:35:56.410 --> 00:36:07.380 you know, they have the rights to the equipment. During that time we have no access to location movements of that equipment that's proprietary proprietary information to them in their operation. 183 00:36:07.730 --> 00:36:20.799 Um, So Really, we want to make sure that you know we're not liable. If they don't do the data request that's necessary, or how do we make sure you forward the request to them directly. 184 00:36:22.650 --> 00:36:26.449 April Taylor: Um, Anthony, that's a really great question. Um, I 185 00:36:26.460 --> 00:36:55.819 April Taylor: I'm certainly not a lawyer in this particular situation here, I don't know that we could necessarily hold you accountable if you're not currently within operation of that. But I can't say that one hundred percent for sure. Uh, we would need to consult the lawyers on that particular piece of it to make sure that you that you and your company are covered uh to make sure that, uh those pieces of equipment that you are currently operating and have control over, and are operated or moving. Those are the ones that you would be 186 00:36:55.830 --> 00:37:09.489 April Taylor: um on top; for if you will, for this particular mandate and that other company would be, and Ah would be on tap to provide that report that information, and we would work with them directly on that. Any other bts have other ideas here. 187 00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:34.659 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah, I have a couple of questions. He has any Um, you um phone and provision the chassis. Um. So we don't. We don't necessarily need to know. In fact, we don't need to know at all how the chat is being used when it's on the street. We only need to know when it leaves the terminal gate, and when it comes back for the Dwell time statistics. So for that 188 00:37:34.670 --> 00:37:41.789 McFadden, Janine (OST): part, knowing when your chassis leaves the gate and comes back. Are you privy to that information? 189 00:37:41.800 --> 00:38:04.660 We just lease the equipment. We're a leasing company. All we do is lease tons, you know, to over twenty thousand pieces of equipment out to hundreds of customers across the Us. And basically they have their own operation. They all operate their their equipment, their own way, and we do not have access, especially that most of our companies are logistics companies, so they don't want to give us any access to Gps, so that 190 00:38:04.670 --> 00:38:13.730 We know routes. It's all proprietary information to those organizations. So we have no access to the data associated to this equipment. 191 00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:33.990 McFadden, Janine (OST): Okay, yeah, no, thank you So much for this question. Um! This seems like a case where you know we would want to work directly with you and your company, and those at least the equipment, and have you connect us to them so that we can, you know, share Um! What is what is necessary? What what do you need to provide, 192 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:40.690 McFadden, Janine (OST): then, to us to meet the mandate. So let's talk offline a little bit more about this. 193 00:38:40.700 --> 00:38:45.540 Okay, And should I email you directly, Janine, with our head of Council. 194 00:38:45.550 --> 00:38:59.390 McFadden, Janine (OST): You can email me directly at the in a couple of more slides we have our contact information and we'll be sharing these slides as Well, um! But you can always reach out to 195 00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:00.830 thank you. 196 00:39:02.890 --> 00:39:15.929 Sou, Brandon: Fantastic. I appreciate that. Um. And next up we have is the total number of chassis, the number that is out on the street, and beer chassis in in yard, or only beer chassis in the yard. 197 00:39:22.020 --> 00:39:24.739 McFadden, Janine (OST): April Taylor, if you don't mind taking this one 198 00:39:24.790 --> 00:39:34.640 April Taylor: sure. So it would be the total inventory, because obviously, we'll need to know what's on the street as well as in the yard, so that we can get that total inventory number so that we can have that. 199 00:39:34.930 --> 00:39:42.530 Matthew Chambers: Yeah, April. That also answers the next question for the out of service for the total counts what's being used to calculate the how the service rate, 200 00:39:42.670 --> 00:39:44.439 Matthew Chambers: and then the times 201 00:39:44.630 --> 00:39:45.649 good 202 00:39:46.670 --> 00:39:51.609 Matthew Chambers: and just a further clarify on the out of service it's from and N. 203 00:39:51.970 --> 00:39:57.589 Matthew Chambers: So when it comes back in not just cutting it off at a certain point of time, like the end of the month, 204 00:39:57.660 --> 00:40:01.859 Matthew Chambers: it's from when it goes back into the yard or depot. 205 00:40:02.370 --> 00:40:13.210 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah, And i'm really glad that Matt brought that up. So back when I was showing a fictitious data report, I had every single ingate filled in. 206 00:40:13.220 --> 00:40:18.229 McFadden, Janine (OST): That's probably not realistic, because 207 00:40:18.240 --> 00:40:43.990 McFadden, Janine (OST): a company's gonna have several chassis that Don't come back in that month right? And And in that scenario. We wouldn't expect an engaged date and timestamp to be um on the report that you provide that, would you could just leave that empty, and in the next month's data report. Maybe that's when there will be that that timestamp. Um. So I hope that clarifies that a little more, too. 208 00:40:48.490 --> 00:41:03.930 This is a microbes cli. That that question, I think, was around at a service beginning. So we were not, or Don't anticipate reporting the total out of service that is declared throughout the month. I mean we're picking up 209 00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:11.389 The last kind of service report at the end of the month and reporting that, and reporting the inventory at that time. Is that what you're expecting 210 00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:21.299 McFadden, Janine (OST): for out of service? Yes, for the the prior information I was actually talking about Street dwell Time sticks. 211 00:41:23.100 --> 00:41:28.450 Thank you. Just to clarify how to service is the last report of the reporting month. 212 00:41:30.600 --> 00:41:33.890 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yes, that's correct. So for the 213 00:41:33.900 --> 00:41:37.719 McFadden, Janine (OST): prior month, at the end of December, December Thirty first. Yep. 214 00:41:41.290 --> 00:41:47.670 Just a snapshot at the end of the month. That's what you're looking for on the out of service. 215 00:41:48.870 --> 00:41:50.559 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yes, that's correct. 216 00:41:50.740 --> 00:41:51.390 He's 217 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:52.390 not the entire month. 218 00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:53.529 Okay, 219 00:41:56.030 --> 00:42:01.819 Sou, Brandon: awesome. Are we required to report specialty equipment such as tri-axles? 220 00:42:05.030 --> 00:42:19.599 April Taylor: I think this gets back to that size. Um. A configuration that was in the mandate to say twenties fortys and forty-five, so as long as those particular equipment can move twenties, fortys or forty-five s Then Yes, they would be in scope. 221 00:42:19.900 --> 00:42:30.679 Okay, thank you. This is Neil. I asked the question, but kind of further down. What is this goal aimed for? Private equipment? That is 222 00:42:30.730 --> 00:42:50.079 not seeing the port and rails frequently. I they don't terminate or origin at the port of the rails if they're a private fleet, or we need to report this data, Or is this primarily for fleets that are big providers like D. Cli, and that 223 00:42:50.200 --> 00:43:14.840 April Taylor: so the mandate uses the language for a fee? Right. So if you are um provisioning these pieces of equipment for a C um for your customer, then yes, it would be in scope if you're just, For example, if a port uh has some chassis on its terminal, that it just uses just to simply move containers around its terminal, then that would not be a for hire piece of equipment. 224 00:43:15.140 --> 00:43:17.560 April Taylor: I hope that helps answer your question, Neil. 225 00:43:18.120 --> 00:43:19.290 Two guys. Thanks. 226 00:43:19.300 --> 00:43:20.180 April Taylor: It's 227 00:43:21.870 --> 00:43:33.940 Sou, Brandon: fantastic. Thank you very much for that, and we have a question from Mr. Wagstaff. Can you provide the email address? The request would have been sent from on January the tenth? 228 00:43:34.260 --> 00:43:39.889 McFadden, Janine (OST): I believe that should be from the asra email. But you know our bts. Please confirm. 229 00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:58.919 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah, that you know that should have come directly from my e-mail account, Janine um if you would like to directly just contact me. I can um take a look and see who we had um listed as the point of contact in your organization. And um for you. That message. 230 00:43:58.990 --> 00:44:07.389 Thank you, Janine. I have one more question. I kind of need to lay out this scenario. We use a private 231 00:44:07.810 --> 00:44:23.409 Pull just for us on a daily basis. The provider does all the ends and Al Gates um, and then we work off of that from a billing perspective from our off the same set of data. 232 00:44:23.420 --> 00:44:39.200 If that provider provides the the data they own, the chassis, we use the chassis. Do we both need to provide the same data, or would it be up to that provider to provide the in gates now? 233 00:44:39.420 --> 00:44:53.190 April Taylor: So you're not long-term leasing that, are you Those pieces of, and you're just using them right? So it's. Whoever has that operational authority over that piece of equipment would be the one that would provide the data that we're specifically looking for. 234 00:44:53.200 --> 00:45:02.689 Okay. So those daily rentals that you do, or something like that from the pool or whatnot that would not be within your scope to provide, because the operator would be the IEP on that one. 235 00:45:02.700 --> 00:45:04.960 Okay, perfect, Thank you. Sure. 236 00:45:06.930 --> 00:45:22.440 Sou, Brandon: Great. It looks like we have three outstanding questions. This next one is from a Tony missena? He asked, as an ocean carrier. Our nominated motor carrier does not charge for the chassis fee. Do we need to provide this data, 237 00:45:28.140 --> 00:45:54.909 April Taylor: so i'll give this one a try. So I understand that sometimes that's included um in your rates that you provide for a particular uh use. I won't say that it's completely out of scope. Um! However, it might help us to sit down and talk about your operations more specifically, just to confirm that um with you, So please reach out to the team, and we can make sure that uh, one way or the other we can get an answer on that one. 238 00:45:55.940 --> 00:45:57.589 Ah, yeah, Janine. 239 00:45:58.860 --> 00:46:17.730 Hi, it's yeah, it's Tony Machina. Yeah. So we're an ocean carrier. So I mean, I But I think it kind of answered a little bit of my my other question you can. You can answer that as well, but separately we're offline so as an ocean carrier we generally use. Ieds right in, you know, intermodal equipment providers. So for street dwell on that kind of data, 240 00:46:17.900 --> 00:46:32.109 I think you said earlier. So if there, if it's their operational model they're controlling, You know those assets, then they can. I can request them to provide the street well, data and out of service data that you requested right that that would be also Okay, right? 241 00:46:34.670 --> 00:46:43.389 McFadden, Janine (OST): I'm: I'm: sorry. Um, can you? So you could just reiterate for me. Um, you are the owner provider, or you lease the equipment. 242 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:51.289 So we're an ocean carrier, and our door moves. They they would lease the equipment from the Ib 243 00:46:52.260 --> 00:46:54.490 or daily rental at least. Yeah, 244 00:46:54.500 --> 00:47:21.709 April Taylor: right. So a daily rental Tony would not be included in this kind of situation as if you were um. if your company was long term. We see those chassis. That's when you would become the operator on that piece of equipment, and then you would be responsible for those uh data on there. So um! It's only if those daily rental pieces of it that would still be within the Iep's responsibility to collect that kind and provide that. 245 00:47:22.210 --> 00:47:31.129 Okay. So yeah, long-term leases are generally not done with us, as I know she care at least not with my company. That would be done directly with the motor carrier for long-term leases. Then 246 00:47:31.450 --> 00:47:46.950 April Taylor: typically yes, although I know that there are some specialty pools that some of the ocean carriers actually have, that they actually operate um themselves out of. So those pieces of equipment would be included in this uh type of thing. If there is a especially type cool that they offer for their customers. 247 00:47:47.150 --> 00:47:48.390 Okay, 248 00:48:00.830 --> 00:48:05.189 with the presentation. So we have them documented. 249 00:48:05.370 --> 00:48:12.090 I don't know if we'll lose access to some of the answers in chat. But it would be nice to have the answers along with the presentation. 250 00:48:12.100 --> 00:48:17.290 McFadden, Janine (OST): Ah, absolutely, Mike. Yes, we will. Um. We'll make sure that those are provided in the transcript. 251 00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:18.540 It's like, 252 00:48:19.080 --> 00:48:31.190 Sorry it's Tony machine again. Yeah, I think I I missed had an issue with maybe getting it on. Zoom. If there's a where you can also get the presentation to the participants or to me, because I miss the a good part of the presentation as well. 253 00:48:31.310 --> 00:49:01.279 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah. So um a couple of things we we did um before the presentation, but still recording. So all these uh questions and answers you'll you'll hear in the recording. We also um provide the presentation itself, the powerpoint on our website. Um in the transcript, and so um all that will be provided on our Pts website. And um I know Brandon has some talking points around that in just a few moments, too. But I'm: just 254 00:49:01.290 --> 00:49:03.849 McFadden, Janine (OST): uh just to note that. Now. 255 00:49:05.930 --> 00:49:06.990 Okay, 256 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:28.779 Sou, Brandon: awesome. Thank you for that, gene. It looks like we have two more questions here. Um. As a trucking company. We have a private chassis pool, but also use shared tools. I know it was mentioned that duplicates would be scrubbed. However, should we just go ahead and remove any shared tool entries from our data prior to submission, and only submit the data on our private tool. 257 00:49:30.950 --> 00:49:54.789 McFadden, Janine (OST): You know the play. It's safe, I would almost say, and and these first data submissions to provide everything. And if we find that there is that that true overlap um, so we can go ahead and and notify you of that, and and make that change uh from your recording end. Um! But just just to ensure that we're getting all the data that we need. Um, I would say, go ahead, 258 00:49:54.800 --> 00:50:02.110 Based on what April was saying a moment ago. I think she kind of answered that as if it's a daily rental. Then we shouldn't report that. 259 00:50:03.410 --> 00:50:09.080 McFadden, Janine (OST): And so that's what that would be. Just be the daily usage from someone else's pool. 260 00:50:10.790 --> 00:50:40.690 April Taylor: Yeah, if you're Um, if yeah, I guess it depends. If you have that data in your system already that you're getting whatever reason and it's not necessarily a a piece of equipment that you have uh that you own or operate specifically, but it shows up in your data. We can certainly we can certainly work with that and and make sure that there are any duplicates in there. So there's no reason for you to go in and do significant scrubbing, you know, unless we find something later that we that we need to address because of that. But if you already know that yeah, those pieces of equipment, 261 00:50:40.700 --> 00:51:00.699 April Taylor: you know not yours, that you already. You know that you have. You know that that wouldn't necessarily be in for you. But we don't necessarily want you to go to a lot of trouble to scrub your data, either. We're trying to make this easier on you as well. So it's up, you know. If we find a significant amount of duplicates. We can work with that on our end, and or work with you directly when it's all set up. 262 00:51:00.710 --> 00:51:01.589 Sure, thank you, 263 00:51:01.600 --> 00:51:02.359 April Taylor: he 264 00:51:03.680 --> 00:51:12.899 Sou, Brandon: fantastic. And last, but not least. If information is not recorded nor available, what would the information provider's requirement be? 265 00:51:18.730 --> 00:51:30.580 April Taylor: I'm: sorry, Brandon, Could you say that one one more time. Yeah, Yeah, of course, if information is not recorded nor is available, what would the I guess? Provider's information requirement be? 266 00:51:32.950 --> 00:51:42.620 McFadden, Janine (OST): Yeah, it sounds like for this provider. Um, let's let's have a conversation, and please reach out to us, and we'll chat more about this 267 00:51:46.080 --> 00:51:55.309 Sou, Brandon: great Well, yeah, that just about does it for questions. I think we can move on to the next slide and begin to wrap up this Webinar here. 268 00:51:58.420 --> 00:52:16.200 McFadden, Janine (OST): Well, actually, Brandon um! I did get one um direct message that I want to. Um answer. And the message is um asking, since it is January seventeenth. Now, um, is there a grease time for the first question. 269 00:52:16.420 --> 00:52:31.599 McFadden, Janine (OST): Okay. So going back to the beginning of the presentation Um.
