Testimony for the EPA Hearing on Truck Emissions on August 6, 2015 

Good afternoon. My name is Alexandra Sipiora and I am testifying as a resident of 

Chicago. I am in favor of the second phase of standards that both the Environmental Protection 

Agency and the Department of Public Transportation proposed to reduce carbon emissions and 

oil use from heavy freight trucks. 

The main reason I am in favor of the proposed standards is that I have suffered from 

severe health problems that are exacerbated by pollution. Since I suffer from multiple chemical 

sensitivities I had to spend four years wearing charcoal masks whenever I left home. I was 

sensitive to the chemicals in exhaust, and I always observed worse symptoms around large 

vehicles that have more than one axle. When the multiple chemical sensitivities were at their 

worst, I experienced symptoms even with layers of charcoal masks. During that time, I had to 

avoid Michigan Avenue and other streets that had a lot oftraffic from large vehicles. Since the 

charcoal masks made me unemployable, I could not work. 

Climate change has also affected my health and that of people close to me. Since I take 

medicines that can be dehydrating in hot weather, one summer I was treated in the emergency 

room four times for dehydration. The first time it happened, I required three bags of IV fluid. My 

grandmother once had to be hospitalized for a heat emergency, and after that, she could never 

tolerate heat as well again. My parents and my best friend are all elderly, and I am concerned 

about the effects the heat will have on their health. My best friend can't afford to run her air 

conditioner except in the hottest of weather, so I am especially concerned about her. 

Finally, I have noticed that the extreme heat in the last five years has caused more heat 

emergencies among the people here in downtown Chicago. I moved here in 2007, but before 

201 I I never had to call 9 1 1 for a heat emergency. I called for two in 201 1 and at least one so far 

this year. They were severe emergencies, because in two of those cases the victims were 

unresponsive. 

The proposed second phase of standards would address the climate change problem by 

reducing the carbon emissions from 530 million metric tons to 270 million metric tons by 2030, 

and thus decrease global warming. In addition, both phases of standards would reduce oil 

consumption by 1.4million barrels per day by 2030. Therefore, there would be less pollution. 

Once again, I am strongly in favor of the proposed standards to reduce oil use and carbon 

emissions from heavy-duty freight trucks. Thank you for your time.

RÁPIDOS

Seguridad del tráfico en las zonas de trabajo 

El que los trabajadores sean golpeados por vehículos o 

equipo móvil conduce a muchas lesiones fatales en las 

zonas de trabajo. Las zonas de trabajo necesitan controles de 

tráfico identificados por letreros, conos, barriles y barreras.

Los conductores, trabajadores a pie y peatones tienen que 

ser capaces de ver y entender las rutas apropiadas. Los 

gerentes de proyectos de construcción establecen planes 

de control de tráfico dentro de los lugares de trabajo de 

construcción/demolición.

• Los dispositivos de control de tráfico, señales y tableros 

de mensajes instruyen a los conductores a seguir rutas 

que se alejan del área donde se realiza el trabajo.

• Los dispositivos de control de tráfico aprobados, 

incluyendo conos, barriles, barricadas y postes también 

se usan dentro de las zonas de trabajo.

Protección de la zona de trabajo: Las protecciones 

que absorben el impacto como concreto, agua, arena, 

barreras que colapsan, amortiguadores de choques, y 

atenuadores montados-en-camión pueden ayudar a limitar 

la entrada no autorizada de conductores a la zona de 

trabajo de construcción.

Señalar mediante banderas: Los trabajadores 

encargados de dar señales con banderas deben usar 

ropa de alta visibilidad con fondo fluorescente, y hecha 

de material que reflecte. Esto permite que se puede ver 

a los trabajadores a una distancia de al menos 1,000 pies 

en cualquier dirección. Coteje la etiqueta o empaque para 

asegurarse que la ropa sea de rendimiento clase 2 o 3. Los 

conductores deben ser advertidos por medio de letreros 

de que va a haber trabajadores encargados de dar señales 

con banderas. Estos trabajadores deben usar letreros 

de PARAR/REDUCIR VELOCIDAD, letreros con luces o 

banderas (solamente durante emergencias). 

Iluminación: Las estaciones de los trabajadores 

encargados de dar señales con banderas deben estar bien 

iluminadas. La iluminación para los trabajadores a pie 

y operadores de equipo debe ser de 5 bujías-pie o más. 

Donde la iluminación disponible no sea suficiente, luces 

de bengala o iluminación química deben ser usadas. Los 

reflejos deben ser controlados o eliminados.

Capacitación: Los trabajadores encargados de dar señales 

con banderas tienen que estar adiestrados/certificados, y 

usar métodos de señalización autorizados. 

Conducir: Los cinturones de seguridad y la protección 

contra vuelcos deben ser usados en equipos y vehículos 

según sea recomendado por el manufacturero.

2D SESSION S. RES. 416 

Recognizing the contributions of Hawaii to the culinary heritage of the United 

States and designating the week beginning on June 12, 2016, as ‘‘National Hawaiian Food Week’’. 

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 

APRIL 7, 2016 

Mr. SCHATZ (for himself, Mr. ISAKSON, Ms. HIRONO, and Mr. PERDUE) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on 

the Judiciary 

MAY 25, 2016 

Committee discharged; considered and agreed to with an amended preamble 

RESOLUTION 

Recognizing the contributions of Hawaii to the culinary heritage of the United States and designating the week beginning on June 12, 2016, as ‘‘National Hawaiian Food 

Week’’. 

Whereas when individuals first came to the Hawaiian islands 

more than 1,500 years ago, there was little to eat other 

than birds and a few species of ferns, but the individuals 

found rich volcanic soil, a year-round growing season, 

and abundant fisheries; 

Whereas the history of Hawaii is inextricably linked with—

SRES 416 ATS 

(1) foods brought to the Hawaiian islands by the 

first individuals who came to Hawaii and successive 

waves of voyagers to the Hawaiian islands; 

(2) the agricultural and ranching potential of the 

land of Hawaii; and 

(3) the readily available seafood from the ocean and 

coasts of Hawaii; 

Whereas the food cultures initially brought to Hawaii came 

from places including French Polynesia, China, Japan, 

Portugal, North Korea, South Korea, the Philippines, 

Puerto Rico, and Samoa; 

Whereas the foods first brought to Hawaii were simple, 

hearty fare of working men and women that reminded 

the men and women of their distant homes; 

Whereas individuals in Hawaii, in the spirit of Aloha, shared 

favorite dishes with each other, and as a result, the individuals began to appreciate new tastes and learned how 

to bring new ideas into their cooking; 

Whereas the blend of styles in Hawaiian cooking evolves as 

new groups of individuals make Hawaii their home; 

Whereas the fusion of dishes from around the world creates 

a unique cuisine for Hawaii that is as much a part of a 

visit to Hawaii as the welcoming climate, friendly individuals, and beautiful beaches in Hawaii; 

Whereas the food of Hawaii is appealing because it came 

from hard-working communities of individuals that 

farmed, fished, or ranched for their livelihoods, which are 

core experiences of individuals throughout the United 

States; and 

Whereas the growing appreciation for the food of Hawaii 

comes from hard-working and ingenious farmers, fishers,

educators, ranchers, chefs, and businesses that innovate 

and export the taste of Hawaii all over the world: Now, 

therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the Senate— 

2 (1) designates the week beginning on June 12, 

3 2016, as ‘‘National Hawaiian Food Week’’; and 

4 (2) recognizes the contributions of Hawaii to 

5 the culinary heritage of the United States.

SID HARKLEROAD,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western 

District of North Carolina, at Asheville. Graham C. Mullen,

Senior District Judge. (1:10-cv-00036-GCM)

Submitted: December 16, 2010 Decided: December 27, 2010

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Kasean Damont Bryson, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge, 

III, Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for 

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Kasean Damont Bryson seeks to appeal the district 

court’s order dismissing as untimely his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006)

petition. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice 

or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2253(c)(1) (2006). A certificate of appealability will not 

issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a 

constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2006). When the 

district court denies relief on the merits, a prisoner satisfies 

this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would 

find that the district court’s assessment of the constitutional 

claims is debatable or wrong. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 

484 (2000); see Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336-38 

(2003). When the district court denies relief on procedural 

grounds, the prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive 

procedural ruling is debatable, and that the petition states a 

debatable claim of the denial of a constitutional right. Slack, 

529 U.S. at 484-85. We have independently reviewed the record 

and conclude that Bryson has not made the requisite showing. 

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss 

the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts 

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials 
3

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional 

process.
