**Gulf Islands National Seashore Announces**

**Call for Volunteer-In-Park Applicants**

"Gulf Islands National Seashore is recruiting volunteers (VIPs) to help
park staff in the field of visitor services. This is a wonderful
opportunity to work with other people interested in the park's diverse
resources and to provide information about the park to the visiting
public," says Gulf Islands National Seashore Superintendent Jerry
Eubanks. Individuals selected for volunteer work receive training,
volunteer uniforms, and mileage reimbursements (up to 49 miles) from
their residence to the park visitor center in Ocean Springs.

Park VIPs serve as a point of contact for providing information to
visitors and are responsible for answering basic questions, giving
directions, and distributing maps. Applicants should possess good
communication skills, interest in learning about the park, and ability
to work with the public. Most visitor services work takes place indoors
at the Gulf Islands Visitor Contact Station. Park VIPs may choose to
work three or more hours a day on a weekly or seasonal basis.

Individuals interested in applying for a VIP position may call (228)
875-9057 extension 100 for more information and an application. A
training session for selected applicants is scheduled for Tuesday,
September 9, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. to noon. The Gulf Islands Visitor Contact
Station is located two miles south of U.S. Highway 90 East on Park Road
in Ocean Springs and is open daily from 8:30 a.m. -- 4:30 p.m. For more
information about Gulf Islands National Seashore call 228-875-9057 or

Date of individual submission to Federal Tax Reform Panel\--March 15,
2005

1\) Current burdens: The extreme number and complexity of deductions is
the primary fault of our current system. While you are not looking for
specific proposals, when the time comes, we will recommend no
deductions. The rich have overly generous deductions while the middle
class and poor are not able to take advantage of most of the deductions.

The alternate minimum tax needs to be addressed.

2\) Aspects of the tax system that are unfair: The progressivity of our
tax system is not adequate. The recent tax cuts are a disaster. The
wealthy in this country must pay their share if we are to survive.

Deductions for corporate expenses are abominable, particularly for the
excessive salaries of CEO\'s and other high ranking corporate officers.
Average CEO salaries of over 500 times the average worker in this
country versus 40 times in Japan is one of the reasons our
competitiveness is being reduced.

While all corporate taxes are ultimately paid by the consumer,
corporations cannot be seen to be escaping some fair share. Tax systems
must be perceived as just if they are going to be obeyed. Many of these
deductions are not returned to the tax payer in reduced cost of
products.

3\) Since mortgage deductions are not capped, the rich again get an
enormous advantage over the rich and the poor in buying large homes and
second homes.

Contributions for the sole purpose of obtaining tax deductions is an
unreasonable system. We will argue no deductions for anything.

4\) Simplify the tax system so it can be put on a post card. Increase
the progressivity to make taxes more equitable. Eliminate deductions,
which are the source of complexity and tax dodging. It\'s only the rich
who can afford the lawyers to develop tax loopholes. The goal should be
to simplify the tax system to the point that no lawyers are necessary
because there will be no loopholes.

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 9404.90.2000

Mr. Andrew Doornaert

Tower Group International

6730 Middlebelt Road

Romulus, MI 48174

RE: The tariff classification of a child\'s car seat cushion cover from
Mexico.

Dear Mr. Doornaert:

In your letter dated March 13, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of the Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc.

The sample, referred to as a \"Child Safety Seat Pad\" part number
0610500, is a car seat cushion. It is made from a polyester fabric which
is laminated to urethane foam. This car seat cushion cover has an
elasticized bottom edge. Sewn along the edge are plastic clips which
will hold the cover to the car seat. The back has elastic loops which
also secure the cushion cover to the injection molded seat. There are
two straps with clips on the front that are used in conjunction with the
vehicle\'s shoulder/lap belt.

In your letter, you propose that this item is classifiable under
subheading 9401.90.1080, HTS. Heading 9401, HTSUSA, provides for seats,
and parts thereof. A child\'s car seat, as a whole, is classifiable
therein, see subheading 9401.20.0010, HTSUSA. The Explanatory Notes
(EN), the official interpretation of the tariff at the international
level, state that the heading covers identifiable parts of chairs or
other seats, such as backs, bottoms and armrests (whether or not
upholstered with straw or cane, stuffed or sprung), and spiral springs
assembled for seat upholstery. However, the EN goes on to exclude,
\"separately presented cushions\...whether or not covered\...(heading
94.04)\" from this heading.

Heading 9404, in turn, provides for articles of bedding and similar
furnishings (including cushions), which are\...stuffed or internally
fitted with any material. The sample at issue, which

contains a piece of urethane foam to form a thickly padded car seat
cushion, is appropriately classified therein.

The car seat cushion cover is classified under subheading 9404.90.2000,
HTSUSA, which provides for articles of bedding and similar furnishing
(for example, mattresses, quilts, eiderdowns, cushions, pouffes and
pillows) fitted with springs or stuffed or internally fitted with any
material or of cellular rubber or plastics, whether or not covered:
other: pillows, cushions and similar furnishings: other. The general
duty rate will be 6 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 CFR 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 John Hansen at 212-466-5854.

Special Attention of: NOTICE PIH 98-28 (HA)

Secretary\'s Representatives;

State/Area Coordinators; Issued: May 12, 1998

Subject: Implementation of the Special Application

Center (SAC)

Effective April 17, 1998, the Office of Public Housing

implemented the first of several changes in our organization

in response to the Secretary\'s 2020 initiative. The Office

of Public Housing , Special Application Center (SAC) will be

established at 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois

60604, Room 2401.

The SAC will accept, review and approve all non-funded,

non-competitive applications and plans for the following

actions:

demolition and disposition

All homeownership

mandatory conversions/202

voluntary conversions/202

eminent domain

Prior to the end of June, the SAC will also start

accepting Designated Housing plans. A separate Notice will

be issued at a later date with specific instructions dealing

with the submission of Designated Housing plans.

Prior to establishment of the SAC, approvals for the

above mentioned applications and plans were distributed

between Headquarters, Field offices and for

demolition/disposition applicants, four processing centers.

In some cases, processing time was adversely affected by

this approach.

Establishment of the SAC, will centralize and

standardize the review and approval of applications and

plans. It will also eliminate duplication and inconsistency

in processing of applications.

The SAC staff will focus on developing ways to expedite

processing of applications and plans. The SAC will also

provide technical assistance and training to public housing

authorities, residents and industry groups.

Effective April 17, 1998, please submit one original

application for the functions noted above to the SAC, and

one copy to your local HUD servicing office. This Notice

supersedes all other direction provided by the Department on

where to send these particular applications only, all other

direction and guidance remains in effect.

Obligation / Expenditure Reports for the period October 21, 1998 through
September 30, 2006. The schedules are the responsibility of the
Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes an assessment of the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as an evaluation of the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Notes 1 and 2, the schedules were prepared pursuant to
the AOC's accounting policies as they relate to the CVC Project, which
are substantially equivalent to budgetary accounting and represent a
comprehensive basis of accounting other than accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the schedules referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, amounts approved for obligation and related
reallocation, obligations incurred, and expenditures paid for the period
beginning October 21, 1998 and ending September 30, 2006, of AOC for the
CVC Base Building, Senate Shell Space, and House of Representatives
Shell Space on the basis of accounting described in Notes 1 and 2.

NASA Headquarters computer users have access to a fully automated data
backup and recovery function for essential data and e-mail files. A
scheduled backup service runs nightly from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. backing up
selected files and folders for Macintosh and Windows that are powered
on, at the login screen (user logged out), and connected to the HQ wired
network. Users working during the backup window should notice no
significant change in system performance.

**Data to Be Backed Up**

The selected files and folders that will be backed up are:\
\
[Windows XP computers]{.underline}:

-   Local PST file (e-mail file containing stored messages and
    attachments)

-   My Documents

-   Browser bookmarks

-   Desktop items

[Macintosh computers]{.underline}:

-   Entourage e-mail file (local email file storage, messages and
    attachments)

-   Contents of Documents folder

-   Desktop items

-   Browser bookmarks

-   Keychains

-   Preferences

**How Often to Back Up**

The Desktop Backup and Recovery Program is not mandatory. However, it is
highly recommended that you insure your data is backed up at least once
a week. Although the service is offered nightly, it is up to each
individual to take certain steps in order for a backup of your computer
to actually occur.

**User Actions Required for a Successful Backup**

In order for a successful backup to take place, you must do the
following before you leave for the day:

1.  Make sure your computer is powered on and connected to the HQ-wired
    network. If you have a laptop, it must be in the docking station.
     If this condition is not met, your computer will not be backed up
    at all.

                    *AND*

2.  Close all applications AND either log off your computer or restart
    your system. If this condition is not met, your e-mail folders and
    any open files will not be backed up.  (Windows users log off by
    choosing "Log Off" from the Start menu.  Macintosh users log off by
    choosing "Log Out" from the Apple menu.)

It is important to note that any open files and any computers that are
powered off will not get backed up. In addition, laptops will not be
backed up until they are physically connected to the HQ-wired network.

[NOTE]{.underline}: Please be advised that this backup service does not
replace the need for routine manual backups of important files. This
service is intended for disaster recovery only (i.e., in the event of a
hard drive failure).

**Check Backup Status**

It's easy to determine when the last automated backup of your computer
occurred. You can also see the number of documents ("objects") that
failed to get backed up and a history of previous backups. Below are
instructions for both Macintosh and Windows computers.

[Windows XP Users]{.underline}:

-   Start  

-   Programs

-   Tivoli Storage Manager

-   Desktop Recovery Status

Division of Policy and Directives Management

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

4401 North Fairfax Dr., Suite 222

Arlington, VA 22203

I would like to comment on 1024:AD70 and the lifting of the ban on
firearms in our National Parks.

I am a retired US Army Special Forces Officer and my wife and I travel
and camp all over the U.S. I have a NV, UT, and PA concealed carry
permit to carry a firearm. We have actively avoided traveling into and
camping at US National Parks because of the firearms ban, such as Lake
Mead, the Grand Canyon, and other National Parks.

I have read a letter from another individual who is opposed to the
lifting of the ban, and I must say that I totally disagree with his
point of view. I believe that he is an uninformed individual regarding
people who have concealed carry permits and his statement that \"all
visitors\" would be carrying firearms is a stretch by anyone's
imagination. Both my wife and I feel ALOT safer as we travel around
knowing that we can and will protect ourselves from people who may be
intent on causing us harm or bodily injury. When I go to campgrounds and
parks, I don't think about the wildlife doing me harm, I think about the
human animal out to do me and my family harm.

I know a lot of people who feel the way I do. They are all good citizens
and proud to be Americans. Yes, many of them do have permits to carry
firearms and are proficient in their use.

To summarize, I would like to officially put on notice that I would like
the Firearms Ban lifted so that law abiding citizens can protect
themselves and their families.

Sincerely,

P.K. Helland

Dear Applicant:

I am pleased to learn of your interest in Senator McConnell\'s
internship program. Participation in the program is open to any college
student who is a resident of Kentucky.

During the summer session, we plan to have paid interns in our
Washington office. All DC interns will be hired for a period of
approximately five weeks and will be paid approximately \$230 per week
of service. However, housing is the responsibility of the intern. The
application deadline is February 1 of each year.

Semester-long internships also are available year-round, with the spring
session being from January through May (deadline of November 1) and the
fall session from September until mid-December (deadline of July 1). The
pay is the same, but these terms are better suited for earning college
credit than the summer sessions.

Volunteer internships [only]{.underline} are available in our
Louisville, Lexington, London, Fort Wright, Bowling Green, and Paducah
offices. We are especially interested in interns who can work for us
part-time while receiving college credit. The application process for
part-time interns is the same.

It is your responsibility to make sure your application file is
completed by that date. Applicants who have not completed their file by
the deadline will not be considered.

A complete file in Senator McConnell\'s office will contain:

1\. COMPLETED APPLICATION FORM.

2\. THREE, OR MORE, LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION.

3\. WRITING SAMPLE (preferably a short paper or article)**.**

If you have any questions at all concerning Senator McConnell\'s
internship program, please do not hesitate to call me at (202) 224-2541.
I will look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank You for your courageous vote on July 21, 2000 for the
implementation of Audio Description on Commercial TV beginning on April
20002.At the present time Audio Description is only available on our
Educational Channel 8. For a Blind person Audio Description fills in the
missing elements such as facial expressions ,scenery changes as well as
bridging the gaps in the story by painting pictures with verbal
description. TV shows on Channel 8 that have Audio Description exclude
The American Experience, Nature, Building Big and Nova as well as Master
Piece Theater . I look forward in turning on my TV in April 20002 with
Audio description and being able to watch prime time television special
shows such as The academy Awards, Olympic Pageantry as well as other
specials with Audio Description on a equal par of hearing impaired
persons receiving Closed Captioning. There is no need to revisit this
issue RE Audio Description since the facts for its need have been made
perfectly clear.

Thank you again and hope to hear from you soon!

Re: proposed modification of Timber Harvest regulations/specifications

Western Oregon Plan Revisions

Ladies and Gentlemen:

After reviewing your detailed online materials

and listening to the various points of view presented extensively in
Oregon

media the past two weeks, we must conclude that the proposed
modification

is a thinly disguised attempt to allow major timber interests to gain
undue excessive access to forests. The lack of sufficient setbacks from
waterways is just one of the

flagrant issues that clearly indicates that adverse effects will take
place if you allow

this extensive harvesting of timber. We request that you not be swayed
by the money

interests for whom profit is the sole motive, please preserve our Oregon
old growth and natural habitats for wildlife. We don't need to
ruthlessly harvest timber to ship it overseas and we certainly aren't
short of timber for a sagging domestic housing industry.

Thanks for your consideration.

Yours truly, Rick & Betty Kang, Eugene, Oregon
**PCA by proxy: Too much of a good thing**

By Julia Marders, RN, MS

From: Nursing 2004, Volume 34, Number 4

A patient was receiving patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) via infusion
pump. The nurse awakened the patient to assess pain and, based on the
patient's direction, pushed the PCS button to administer pain
medication. The patient eventually became unresponsive and died.

**What went wrong?**

Someone other than the patient pushing the button on a PCA pump, event
at the patient's request, is administering PCA by proxy. This
well-intentioned "help" can lead to oversedation, opioid toxicity, or
death.

Although PCA pumps include dose and time limits to prevent
overmedication, the patient's participation is critical to maintain
safety. A sleeping or overly sedated patient won't push the button, so
the pain medication is unlikely to reach toxic levels. The nurse in this
case overrode the patient's control of his medication by waking him and
administering additional analgesia.

**What precautions can you take?**

-   Educate yourself and your colleagues about PCA by proxy. Develop and
    follow guidelines for using PCA pumps.

-   Place warning labels "For patient use only" on PCA buttons or
    equipment.

-   Remind patients and visitors that the PCA is for patient use only
    and that visitors shouldn't push the button, even if the patient
    asks. Educate them about PCA and tell them to notify a nurse if the
    patient seems overly sleepy.

-   If a patient is difficult to arouse or has respiratory depression,
    assess his airway, breathing, and circulation; initiate basic life
    support as indicated and have someone notify the primary care
    provider.

-   If a patient is harmed and you believe that improper use or
    malfunction of a PCA device played a role, notify the person at your
    facility who's responsible for reporting such problems or submit a
    voluntary adverse event report through MedWatch by calling
    1-800-FDA-1088 or online at http:www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Although you need to support the adverse event reporting policy of your
health care facility, you may voluntarily report a medical device that
doesn't perform as intended by calling MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088
(fax.1-800-FDA-0178). The opinions and statements in this report are
those of the author and may not reflect the views of the Department of

Subject:  USCG docket number 2007-0030

Docket Management Facility

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am the sole proprietor, owner, operator and Master of a 1968 26\' Navy
Motor Whaleboat that is used for passenger transportation.  I operate in
Norwalk, CT within the river and harbors in protected waters.  The
vessel carries a combination of men, woman and children primarily for
events in conjunction with the Norwalk Seaport Association, an
educational non-profit organization that owns and operates the Sheffield
Island Lighthouse, an historic entity. It is also used for the Norwalk
Oyster Festival as a water taxi, the Norwalk In water Boat Show as a
launch,  launch service at Sheffield Island for gatherings and as a
means of access to the water for family groups that will take a ride up
the river and return.

 

My vessel was procured from Manatee World, Fort Meyers, Florida. in
2000.  I have invested in a new Awl Grip paint job and a new diesel
engine at a collective cost of over \$25,000. It never had a stability
test; the passenger count of 22 + 1 was based on proven design.   After
a couple of incidents relative to unsafe operating conditions in
different states it was determined that I would have to provide a
stability test.  After numerous attempts to determine stability the
vessel had its capacity cut in half to 11 + 1 at the weight of 140#. 
With the existing reduced capacity I was not able to service
the Norwalk Boat Show which I have done since 2000.  I suspect that the
new weight of 180# will reduce me to the point of putting me out of
business.

 

A discussion with my MSO indicated that if I was not happy with the
results I could have an incline test done.  I have received an estimate
of \$8,000 from a firm for this.  Inquiries for a new vessel have come
in at \$100,000.  I have a good relationship with the people at my MSO,
but I was told that no OCMI would deviate from procedure and make a
written assessment as to suitability.  The whale boat design has been
used for many years and I personally do not know of any mishaps that
have occurred with this type of vessel.  It is 26\' in length with an
8\' beam (6.83\' accessible to passengers).  It has fixed seating molded
in around the inside so passenger movement is severely restricted.

 

In addition to the passenger weight issue, I have grave concerns
concerning the subsequent stability tests.  The SST test costs about
\$800-00 with the erection of the framing and the transportation of
sandbags and associated labor costs.  I fail to grasp the necessity of
this redundancy if there are no structural changes to compromise the
vessel.

 

In summation I am adamantly opposed to the short time frame for these
proposed rules and I feel that more input should be procured from those
most directly impacted by these proposals. 

Respectfully,

Donald J. Kovacs

Dear Mt. Chairman:

On October 3, 2005, the Department of Energy (DOE) advised you of the
issuance of DOE O 226.1, *Implementation of Department of Energy
Oversight Policy*, and the completion of Commitment 4B in the
Department's 2004-1 Implementation Plan. In the process of developing
this Order, the Department evaluated impacts on other nuclear safety
directives and identified four directives that needed to be revised or
developed. One of these directives was DOE O 470.2B, *Independent
Oversight and Performance Assurance Program*.

The Department recently completed a review of the 2004-1 implementation
plan actions and decided to modify DOE O 226.1. The planned revision to
DOE 470.2B should reflect the modified DOE O 226.1, and also be
coordinated with planned changes to be made to DOE O 414.1C, *Quality
Assurance*, during the next scheduled review cycle for DOE O 414.lC in
June 2007. We will include changes needed to accurately reflect and
implement the DOE O 226.1 revision in DOE O 470.23 at the same time
during the next scheduled revision of DOE O 414.lC.

Should you have further questions, please contact me at (301) 903-3777
or have your staff contact Dr. Patricia Worthington at (301) 903-5392.
