Exemption No. 8738A

##  Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2006-24500

Mr. Mark Ballinger

Chief UAS Pilot and Senior Principal Systems Engineer

Raytheon Missile Systems/Advanced Programs

P.O. Box 11337

Bldg. M09, MS 5

Tucson, AZ 85734-1337

Dear Mr. Ballinger:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to
extend Exemption

No. 8738. This letter also explains the basis for our decision and
describes its effect.

# The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated February 8, 2008, you petitioned the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) on behalf of Raytheon Missile Systems/Advanced
Programs (Raytheon) for an extension of Exemption No. 8738. That
exemption from §§ 45.23(b), 91.9(b)(2), and 91.203(a) and (b) of
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations allows Raytheon to use 1-inch
lettering for the word "Experimental" on its unmanned aircraft. That
exemption also allows Raytheon to keep the aircraft flight manual, the
airworthiness certificate, and the U.S. registration certificate in the
Ground Control Station, rather than in the aircraft.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the
conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were
the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a
summary of the petition in the [Federal Register]{.underline} because
the requested extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, and
any delay in acting on this petition may be detrimental to Raytheon.

# Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of
Exemption No. 8738 remains valid with respect to this exemption and is
in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority provided by
49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to
me, I grant your petition.

# The Effect of Our Decision

Our decision extends the termination date of Exemption No. 8738 to June
30, 2010, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

All conditions and limitations of Exemption No. 8738 remain the same.
This letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemption No. 8738.

Sincerely,

/s/ Dorenda D. Baker

Pen-Shu's algorithm compression results.

The test data came from TIDE, and consists of 1196 matrices containing
counts. The data has of resolution of 32 spin angles and 31 energy
levels, thus the matrices are of size 32x31.

In order to save space, these counts were quantized prior to
transmission to the ground. A table was used to reduce the original 16
bit values to 8 bits. As a result, the counts have only 256 unique
values. Tests done with these quantized values are in the directory
"originalData". In addition, tests were done on counts that had random
values added to them in order to restore the full 16 bit dynamic range.
These tests are in the directory "originalPlusRandom".

# The 32x32 names indicate that matrices were compressed individually. Also, matrices were stacked together in groups of sizes 32x128 and 32x1196 prior to compression. The 32x128 size had two different ways of packaging, pk1 and pk2. Pk1 requires buffering 4 frames. Pk2 requires buffering 128 frames. In both cases the actual matrix size compressed was 32x128 data points.

# There are two kinds of wavelets, real and integer. The real wavelet gives better lossy compression, but can not provide lossless compression. The integer wavelet can give lossless compression if the BPP is high enough.

# The files \*bpe\*.mom.pdf are the moment plots. The black lines are the moments computed from the original data, and the red lines are from the compressed data.

The number that follows the B in the file name is the Bits Per Pixel, or
BPP, used to compress the data.

The data has a low count region and a high count region. In what follows
below, the "low" region refers to matrices 1 to 400, which corresponds
to times 23:00 to 23:33 approximately, and the high region is matrices
601 to 1000, corresponding to times 23:50 to 0:23 approximately.

The files highNormalRms.pdf and lowNormalRms.pdf are normalized Root
Mean Square errors computed for the counts and each of the moments at
various compressions. Low and high refer to the regions.

RMS=sqrt(mean( normal\^2) )

For counts, density and temperatures,

normal=(compressed value -- original value)/original value

For velocities,

normal=(compressed vel -- original vel)/vel from temperature

The file means5.0-0.8.pdf has average count differences between the
original and compressed counts shown for each matrix, that is, each
point is mean(original matrix -- compressed matrix). This is shown for
various compressions.

The file meanCountDiff.pdf shows the average differences between
original and compressed counts over an entire region.

RE: The tariff classification of an electrical plug with insulated wires
and an electricity adapter from Taiwan and China

Dear Ms. Kelly,

In your letter dated September 11, 2006, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

The first item concerned is the Jack with Lead Wires. It is a
torpedo-shaped electric plug with attached insulated, copper wires that
have a voltage rating of 12 Volts DC.

The function of the Jack with Lead Wires is to conduct electric power to
a breast pump.

The applicable classification subheading for the Jack with Lead Wires
will be 8544.41.8000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), which provides for "Insulated ... wire ... , whether or not
fitted with connectors ... : Other electric conductors, for a voltage
not exceeding 80 V: Fitted with connectors: Other". The rate of duty
will be 2.6%.

The second item concerned is the Car Adapter. It is a torpedo-shaped
plug with attached insulated, copper wires that have a voltage rating of
12 Volts DC; it is meant to be inserted into the lighter module of a
vehicle.

The purpose of the Car Adapter is to utilize the electric system of a
vehicle to provide power to a breast pump.

The applicable classification subheading for the Car Adapter will be
8504.40.9580, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
which provides for " ... static converters ... : Static converters:
Other: Other". The rate of duty will be 1.5%.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent Harmonized Tariff Schedule and the
accompanying duty rates are provided on the World Wide Web at
http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

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 Jack with Lead Wires,
contact National Import Specialist Richard Laman at 646-733-3017 and, if
you have any questions regarding the Car Adapter, contact National
Import Specialist Linda Hackett at 646-733-3015.

**Record Number of Whoopers**

The tallest bird in North America has something special to "whoop"
about. For the first time in 100 years, the total population of wild and
captive-bred whooping cranes exceeds 500 birds. In 1945, the flock was
down to just 15 birds. The whooping crane, declared an endangered
species in 1971, is still one of the rarest birds on the continent.

An estimated 266 cranes spent the winter along the Texas Gulf Coast,
which includes Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. They represent the only
remaining wild flock on the continent. By mid-April, 87 percent of the
flock had begun migrating to their summer homes in Canada.

Five whooping crane breeding facilities, including Patuxent Research
Refuge in Maryland, provided eggs or raised chicks in 2007. Twenty-eight
chicks were raised in captivity and shipped to Necedah National Wildlife
Refuge in central Wisconsin, to be prepared for reintroduction to the
wild. Seventeen followed an ultralight plane to Chassahowitza National
Wildlife Refuge in Florida, where they spent the winter. These 17 birds
are now making their spring migration back to Wisconsin.

The progress of each tagged crane is recorded in online travel journals
and podcasts at Operation Migration
(<http://www.operationmigration.org/>) and the International Crane
Foundation (<http://www.savingcranes.org/>).
# SUBSURFACE DRAIN 

## PRACTICE INTRODUCTION

**USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service―Practice Code 606**

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="6.020833333333333in"
height="3.7291666666666665in"}

### SUBSURFACE DRAIN

A subsurface drain is a conduit, such as corrugated plastic tubing,
tile, or pipe, installed beneath the ground surface to collect and/or
convey drainage water.

### PRACTICE INFORMATION

The purpose of a subsurface drain is to:

-   Improve the environment for vegetation

-   Reduce erosion

-   Improve water quality

-   Regulate ground water and water table flows

-   Collect ground water for beneficial uses

-   Remove water from heavy use areas, such as recreation areas, or
    around buildings

-   Regulate water to control health hazards caused by pests

Subsurface drainage is used in areas having a high water table where the
benefits of lowering the water level are worth the expense. The practice
also applies to areas that will benefit from controlling ground water
and/or surface runoff. The soil must meet certain suitability
requirements and an adequate outlet must be available to assure the
drain will function properly.

### COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Subsurface Drain is commonly applied as part of a Conservation
Management System with Pest Management (595), Nutrient Management (590),
Surface Drainage, Main or Lateral (608), Underground Outlet (620),
Critical Area Planting (342), Drainage Water Management (554), and other
conservation practices.

For further information, refer to the practice standard in the local
Field Office Technical Guide and associated practice specifications and
job sheets.

March 12, 2008

Dear Colleague,

"It\'s up to us, in our time, to choose and choose wisely between the
hard but necessary task of preserving peace and freedom and the
temptation to ignore our duty and blindly hope for the best while the
enemies of freedom grow stronger day by day."

These words were spoken by President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983.
This month marks the 25^th^ anniversary of this monumental speech, which
started us on a new path of space and missile defense, an effort
analogous to putting men on the moon.

President Ronald Reagan's forward-looking Strategic Defense Initiative
is now a reality. Last month we saw a practical demonstration of our
nation's missile defense shield. Join me in honoring the vision of
President Ronald Reagan by becoming an original co-sponsor of a
resolution to honor this significant anniversary. Please contact Greg

**SUPPORT ELECTRICITY TAX AGREEMENT**

Dear Colleague:

In its recent energy report, *"Reliable, Affordable, and Environmentally
Sound Energy for America's Future,"* the Administration recommends that
electric transmission bottlenecks be identified and removed. In these
times of supply shortfalls and increasing stresses on our electricity
grid, we too are committed to ensuring that our transmission system is
optimized to ensure the delivery of power to consumers when and where it
is needed.

Transmission constraints exist not only in the form of physical
bottlenecks, which will require state and federal involvement to
relieve, but also purely federal barriers in the Federal tax laws. We
have introduced legislation supported by both public and investor-owned
utilities to lift those barriers \-- **H.R. 1459, the *"Electric Power
Industry Tax Modernization Act."*** This bill would provide more access
to transmission, greater participation in independent regional
transmission organizations, and cheaper connections to the transmission
grid.

Specifically, the legislation:

-   Updates "private use" restrictions that make it difficult or
    impossible for community-owned utilities to permit access to their
    transmission and distribution facilities.

-   Removes the tax penalty for connecting new generation to the grid.

-   Promotes the sale or spin-off of transmission facilities to
    participants in independent FERC-approved regional transmission
    organizations.

-   Updates the tax treatment of nuclear decommissioning costs to
    facilitate the transfer of nuclear facilities to new owners.

We urge you to join us in updating the tax code so that it will help ---
not hinder --- the operation and development of our transmission system.
If you would like to cosponsor

the legislation or need additional information, please contact Katharine
Mottley with Congressman Hayworth (5-2190), Laura Eugster with
Congressman English (5-5406), Francis Grab with Congressman Matsui
(5-7163), or Jeanette Forcash with Congressman Weller (5-3635).

**DeMint: Social Security and Medicare Trustees' Report - Time for
Reform is Now**

*Says programs can be saved without benefit cuts or tax increases*

**(WASHINGTON, D.C.)** -- U.S. Representative Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a
leading proponent of individual ownership in retirement and health care,
today delivered remarks at the National Center for Policy Analysis news
briefing on the Social Security and Medicare Trustees' report.

"Every year when this report is released policymakers say they will fix
these problems . . . after the next election. It's time we start
legislating for the next generation, not the next election. The looming
bankruptcy of Social Security and Medicare is now on Congress'
doorstep," DeMint said.

The 2003 report officially projects that Social Security will become
insolvent in 2042 and that the program will pay out more in benefits
than it collects in taxes in 2018. Medicare's insolvency date is now
2026, but the program's expenditures will exceed tax receipts in 2013 --
three years earlier than in last year's report. DeMint explained that
because the trust funds do not contain real dollars the actual "go
broke" dates are 2018 for Social Security and 2013 for Medicare.

"The Social Security and Medicare so-called 'trust funds' are
Enron-style accounting gimmicks that mask the urgent need for reform,"
DeMint said. "This year, Congress' ten-year budget projections must
account for the bankruptcy of Medicare, and, in the very near future, we
will have to account for the bankruptcy of Social Security. Congress
will soon be forced to cannibalize other programs funded by general
revenue funds, possibly including programs like education, veterans'
benefits, and homeland security, to fund Medicare and Social Security.
The time for reform is now."

DeMint disagreed with suggestions from Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan and others that Congress needs to cut benefits to prevent the
bankruptcy of either program.

"Congress can still save both of these programs without cutting benefits
or increasing taxes if we slow the growth of government spending and
enact reforms that promote individual ownership. Yet, every year
Congress hesitates, the cost of reform increases exponentially. We
cannot hand the next generation broken promises that will force them to
accept higher taxes, crushing benefit cuts, and crippling debt. We need
to keep the promises we have already made before we make new promises.
It's time to create a nation of owners and savers, not dependents and
debtors," DeMint said.

New Market, Maryland 21774

Dear Mr. Roberson:

Upon the occasion of your departure from the Office of Defense Programs,
the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board) commends you on your
superb performance in improving the ability of the Department of Energy
(DOE) to perform its mission safely.

You have demonstrated extraordinary leadership in the conduct of
readiness reviews and in the development of DOE's readiness review
requirements and standards. Your efforts to train and mentor federal and
contractor personnel across the defense nuclear complex in the readiness
process have had a significant impact on improving performance in this
area.

The mission of the Board is to provide technical safety oversight of
DOE's defense nuclear facilities. Your participation in the review and
confirmation of the readiness of nuclear activities in these facilities
has contributed significantly to safe operations. Your performance of a
similar role in verifying the implementation of Integrated Safety
Management has also been a valuable contributor to safe operations.

The Board thanks you for your hard work and dedication, which have
resulted in improved safety in the defense nuclear complex. We wish you
the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

***John T. Conway***

**"Did your company, or any representatives in your companies
participate in Vice President Cheney's Energy Task Force in 2001, the
meetings?"**

My response to the question in the hearing was, "We did not, no." That
answer was a truthful one. ConocoPhillips was created in August 2002 as
a result of the merger of Conoco Inc. and Phillips Petroleum Company. In
2001, Conoco and Phillips were separate companies and were competitors.
I was Chairman and CEO of Phillips Petroleum Company, and Archie Dunham
held the same position for Conoco. I responded to Senator Lautenberg's
specific inquiry based upon my knowledge of Phillips' conduct prior to
the merger with Conoco and on my knowledge of ConocoPhillips' conduct
subsequent to the merger.

Since the hearing, the Washington Post has reported that two Conoco
representatives, Mr. Archie Dunham and Mr. Alan Huffman, had attended or
participated in a task force meeting in 2001. During Mr. Dunham's tenure
as Chairman of ConocoPhillips (from August 2002 until his retirement in
September 2004), I recall no discussions between us relating to the Task
Force. To my knowledge, I have never met Mr. Huffman, and I understand
that he was employed by ConocoPhillips for only a brief time after the
merger.

In my capacity as Chairman and CEO of Phillips, I did not participate in
any of the meetings of this energy task force, and I am unaware of any
participation by other Phillips employees or representatives.
Representatives of Phillips and ConocoPhillips have had many meetings
with various members of the Administration, just as we did with
representatives of prior Administrations. For example, Phillips
representatives have had meetings with members of Congress and with
representatives of the Administration relating to the Alaska Natural Gas
Pipeline, a project that has received significant bipartisan support.

We value greatly our opportunities to provide information, assistance
and our company's perspective concerning energy policy to our nation's
elected and appointed officials. We look forward to continuing to do so
in a constructive and transparent relationship between the industry and
government. To the extent the Committee has need for further
information, we will be as cooperative as possible in responding to such
requests.
