**Taos Zone Interagency Firefighters Initial Attack 25 Wildfires in the
Last 3 Days**

Taos, NM, July 6, 2005 -- Firefighters from local, state, and federal
agencies and private contractors have responded to twenty-five wildfires
since July 4^th^ in the Taos Zone. Three wildfires where reported on
Monday all person caused, two on tribal lands and one on state
jurisdiction.

On Tuesday seventeen wildfires were reported, one person caused and the
rest lightning caused. Nine wildfires were located on Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) lands, four on state jurisdiction and four on the
Carson National Forest (CNF). The largest of these wildfires was the
eight acre Caliente Fire three miles northwest of Picuris Pueblo on the
CNF.

Wednesday firefighters continued to work the wildfires from the previous
days and responded to three new wildfires on state jurisdiction and two
on the CNF. All these wildfires were lightning caused, the largest being
the Laughlin Fire at fifteen acres.

Resources responding to the fires include six engines from the Carson
National Forest, three engines from the Bureau of Land Management, 3
engines from Mississippi and three contract engines. One Initial Attack
crew from the National Parks Service and one Initial Attack nine person
crew from Red River. Two air recon aircrafts, two single engine air
tankers, and one Type II helicopter, ten miscellaneous overhead
personnel. Two more engines are in route from the Four Corners area.

While none of the wildfires threatened any communities or
infrastructures they keep all available resources occupied, and
illustrate the extreme fire danger conditions this area of the state is
now experiencing. Should extreme fire danger conditions continue the CNF
plans to go into Stage II Fire restrictions on Monday, July 11, 2005.

For more information on fire conditions and fire restrictions on the
Carson National Forest contact Dorotea Martinez, Information Assistant
at 505-758-6345.

**RE: Western Oregon Plan Revisions**

Western Oregon Plan Revisions

P.O. Box 2965

Portland, OR. 97208

The Sandy River Basin Watershed Council would like to submit our
comments on the Western Oregon Plan Revisions. Thank you for the
opportunity to comment on this important document.

We support the No Action Alternative. Federal lands need to be managed
to provide large areas of habitat to serve as anchors for the recovery
of listed aquatic and terrestrial species. In addition to their
importance as habitat the forests on federal land play a key role in
maintaining water quality, water supplies and providing recreation.
Today, these roles are more important than the objective of increasing
the acreage of Matrix lands. Any timber harvest that occurs on BLM
managed lands should be viewed as a secondary output of achieving
another management objective.

Here are some of the problems we see with the Preferred Alternative:

-   The decrease in area of Riparian Reserves is not acceptable.
    Riparian areas provide important habitat for a wide range of aquatic
    and terrestrial species.

-   The increased risk of introducing invasive plant species, under
    Alternative 2, is not acceptable particularly in riparian areas (p.
    631). Here in the Sandy River Basin invasive plants have posed a
    serious threat to the health of native, riparian plant communities.
    Considerable time and money, both public and private, has been spent
    trying to control plants such as Japanese knotweed. We must avoid
    creating new invasive plant problems.

-   The decrease in width of stream buffers would have an adverse effect
    on water quality and aquatic species as a result of less shading
    vegetation and the potential for increased soil erosion.

-   The proposed increase in Timber Management Area land allocation is
    too high.

Sincerely,

Russell Plaeger

#### Number range CHAPTERFishing Capacity Reduction Program

### Overview

Number range CHAPTEROne of the most difficult problems to deal with in
fishery management is overcapacity in the harvesting sector.
Overcapacity has been described as too many vessels chasing too few
fish. The problem is worldwide, and certainly exists in U.S. federally
managed fisheries. A 2001 NOAA Fisheries report on this topic found that
more than half of all the most important federally managed fisheries
exhibited indications of overcapacity. Although the issue is complex,
NOAA Fisheries believes that overcapacity is linked to overfishing, and
we have a legal mandate to remedy the latter.

There are several short- and long-term solutions to the overcapacity
problem. One approach is to alter the economic incentives that stimulate
overcapacity. Such changes in incentives may be promoted by
"rights-based" management through arrangements such as individual
fishing quotas, community quotas, and fishing cooperatives. Another
approach is to buy back the excess vessels and fishing permits, using
public and/or private funds. In fact, the two approaches may be joined,
as in the Bering Sea pollock fishery in which a buyback of at-sea
trawlers eased the formation of cooperatives.

The 1996 SFA amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act added a Fishing
Capacity Reduction Program, section 312(b)-(e), authorizing buybacks of
vessels and permits funded from several sources. The Administration's
proposed amendments to this program are intended to encourage the
Councils and industry to develop capacity reduction programs within a
nationally applicable Magnuson-Stevens Act framework.

Reauthorization Proposal

> Number range CHAPTERThis amendment would allow a capacity reduction
> program to apply to several fisheries in a geographical area, allow
> the Secretary to conduct a program without first receiving a request
> from a Council or a Governor, and require that harvester proponents of
> a capacity reduction program provide the Secretary with a proposed
> implementation plan.

![](media/image3.png){width="1.1333333333333333in"
height="0.6236111111111111in"}

Outlook

Number range CHAPTERThese changes allow the Secretary to address
overcapacity problems that span multiple fisheries, streamline the
program implementation process, and provide the Secretary with detailed
information about the need for capacity reduction. It would also help
address the problem of fishing vessels moving out of one fishery when a
capacity reduction program is introduced into adjacent fisheries.
Currently, a program may only address capacity reduction in a single
fishery.

***Economic Injury Loans for Small Businesses***

SBA Disaster Assistance--Field Operations Center East-One Baltimore
Place, Suite 300-Atlanta, GA 30308

**Release Date:** September 12, 2007 **Contact:** Mark Ihenacho

**Release Number:** 07-699, WVA 10981 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**SBA DISASTER LOANS AVAILABLE IN MARYLAND FOLLOWING**

**SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE DISASTER DECLARATION**

**ATLANTA -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announces
that federal disaster loans are available to small businesses located in
Garrett County in the Commonwealth of Maryland.

"This county is eligible because it is contiguous to one or more primary
counties in the State of West Virginia. SBA recognizes that disasters do
not usually stop at the county or state lines. For that reason, counties
adjacent to primary counties named in the declaration are included,"
according to Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations Center East.

SBA's disaster declaration was issued as a result of a similar action
taken by the Secretary of Agriculture to help farmers recover from
damages and losses to crops caused by drought May 15, 2007 and
continuing.

Under this declaration, SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)
program is available to farm-related and nonfarm-related small business
concerns and small agricultural cooperatives that suffered economic
injury as a direct result of this disaster. Farmers and ranchers are not
eligible to apply to SBA but nurseries are eligible to apply for
economic injury disaster loans for losses caused by drought conditions.

Eligible small businesses may qualify for loans up to \$1.5 million.
These loans are available at a 4 percent interest rate with loan terms
up to 30 years. SBA determines eligibility for the program based on the
size and type of business and its financial resources. Loan amounts and
terms are set by SBA and are based upon each applicant's financial
condition. Under this disaster declaration, SBA cannot provide loans to
agricultural producers.

Interested business owners should contact SBA's Customer Service Center
by calling 1-800-659-2955\
(1-800-877-8339 for the hearing-impaired) Monday through Saturday from 8
a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (EDT). Business
loan applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).
Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business
Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport
Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

**Completed loan applications must be returned to SBA no later than
[April 9, 2008]{.underline}.**

CHAPTER 15. PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS

15-1. COVERAGE WRITTEN THROUGH AGENTS/BROKERS.

a\. A HA should not remit the full premium to the

agent/broker until the actual policy is received. It is

not uncommon for policies to be issued 60 or 90 days

after their effective date. Binders are issued by the

agent/broker confirming coverage during the interim

period. If the full premium is paid up-front

considerable leverage may be lost in hastening\' the

issuance of the policy.

b\. Once a PHA/IHA requests that the coverage be placed in

effect, the premium is earned by the insurance company

from that day forward. Therefore, a HA should remit the

earned premium to the agent on a monthly basis until the

policy is received and then pay the balance due.

Example: A policy with a \$365,000 annual premium, earns

premium at the rate of \$1,000 per day. Payment in

530,000 increments every 30 days will keep the coverage

in force and give the HA advantage of the \"float\" on the

unpaid balance until the policy is received.

NOTE: If an agent/broker does not agree with this payment

schedule and will cancel the coverage for non-payment of

the total annual premium, the HA should contact their

state insurance department to determine if cancellation

would be permitted under these circumstances.

15-2. COVERAGE WRITTEN THROUGH FAIR PLANS OR ASSIGNED RISK PLANS.

The majority of states require that a deposit premium be paid

at time of application and a full premium be paid within 30

days of the effective date.

15-3. FLOOD INSURANCE.

The NFIP requires that full payment be remitted at the time

application is made.

15-1

5/96

G 7401.5

15-4. COUNTERSIGNATURE FEES AND SURPLUS LINES TAXES.

a\. The majority of state insurance regulations and statutes

prohibit \"fees\" for services being added to the policy

invoice by the agent/broker. All such fees should be

included in the policy premium and subject to the same

rules regarding cancellation of the policy and return of

the unearned premium. If the agent has included a fee

for services as a separate item in the bid or invoice for

payment, the HA should contact their state insurance

department to see if this practice is permitted.

b\. When coverage is written with a surplus lines insurance

company the agent/broker is required to show the surplus

lines tax and in some states a stamping fee as a separate

item in a bid and/or invoice for payment. The amount of

the tax and/or fee is set by the state and may run from

a low of one percent of the annual premium to a high of

six percent. If the policy is cancelled during term the

tax/fee applying to the unearned premium must be returned

to the insured.

RE: The tariff classification of a woman's knitted sweater vest from
Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Bergamini:

In your letter dated July 27, 2000, you requested a classification
ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.

Your submitted sample, style 095-702491 is a 55% ramie and 45% cotton
knit, woman's sweater vest. The outer surface of the pullover measures
less than nine stitches per two centimeters in the horizontal direction.
The sleeveless sweater vest features a V-neckline; oversized armholes; a
full frontal opening with a five button closure; contrasting knit edging
on the armholes, neckline and down the front of the vest; appliqued and
embroidered flowers and ribbon threaded through the front of the vest;
and a rib-knit bottom. Style 095-702492 is identical to style
095-702491, except for color.

The applicable subheading for both styles will be 6110.90.9042,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats and similar articles,
knitted or crocheted: of other textile materials: sweaters for women's
or girls': other: other: other. The duty rate will be 6 percent ad
valorem.

Styles 095-702491 and 095-702492 fall within textile category
designation 845. Based upon international textile trade agreements
products of Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirement of a
visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa
status are the result of international agreements that are subject to
frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current
information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment,
the [U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report]{.underline}, an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the
Customs Web site at www.customs.gov. In addition, the designated textile
and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and
quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected
and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Mike Crowley at 212-637-7077.

Suite 201

Philadelphia, PA 19134

RE: The tariff classification of silver jewelry from Poland.

Dear Mr. Orzechowski:

In your letter dated September 23, 1998, you requested a

classification ruling.

Enclosed with your ruling request is a sample of a sterling

silver pendant attached to a collar instead of a chain. It is

intended to be worn as a necklace.

Also enclosed were photographs of the following:

1\. A sterling silver pendant attached to a chain and

containing a lobster claw\'

clasp.

2\. A sterling silver brooch similar in design to the

pendant.

3\. A pair of sterling silver earrings also similar in

design to the pendant.

The sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the silver jewelry will be

7113.11.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTSUSA), which provides for articles of jewelry\...of precious

metal\...of silver\...other: other. The duty rate will be 5.3% ad

valorem.

Articles classifiable under subheading 7113.11.5000, HTSUSA,

which are products of Poland, are entitled to duty free treatment

under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) upon compliance

with all applicable regulations. However, the GSP expired June

30, 1998 and has not been extended. Congress may choose to renew

GSP retroactively. In that case, the GSP provision cited herein

may apply retroactively.

Your letter also asks for information relating to the proper

marking of the silver jewelry.

Each piece should be indelibly marked with the country of origin

by die-sinking, engraving or stamping. The quality of the

marking must be such that it can be easily read. Alternatively,

marking the jewelry by affixing hang tags is an acceptable method

of marking the country of origin provided that the tags are

affixed so securely that, unless deliberately removed, they will

remain on the articles until they reach the ultimate purchaser.

**SOLICITATION 1-057-RFJ.1334-QUESTION AND ANSWER**

**Question:**

Regarding the Ti:Sapphire laser, item 2 there is a statement that the
laser

shall be capable of 3.5 W at the gain center. Does this mean

that if the Ti:Sapphire laser was pumped with the appropriate power
\[\>13 W\]

that this is true.

Given that slope efficiency numbers are closer to 25%, \[output vs
input\]

for a 5W pump source, 3.5 W would not be possible.

**Answer:**

The total average power for the Ti:Sapphire laser should have been
stated to be 1 Watt. The 3.5W value is incorrect and should be changed
to 1 Watt.

An Amendment will be posted to incorporate this change in the
specification.
