# 100 Companies Join Veterans Franchise Program

WASHINGTON -- ExxonMobil recently became the 100^th^ company to join the
Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative, commonly known as "VetFran,"
which makes obtaining a franchise more affordable for veterans.

\"Through their service, America's veterans have earned the gratitude of
the entire nation,\" said Dr. Leo S. Mackay Jr., Deputy Secretary of
Veterans Affairs. \"I am encouraged that so many corporations have
chosen to thank veterans by helping place the dream of business
ownership within their reach.\"

The International Franchise Association (IFA) first introduced VetFran
in the early 1990s as a way for franchisers to express gratitude to
military members for their service during the first Gulf War. The
program was re-introduced last September. The 100 companies offering
VetFran discounts to veterans represent a broad range of small-business
ownership opportunities, including restaurant, retail, service and
technology franchises.

More than a dozen veterans have acquired franchises through the VetFran
program during the past year, and applications are now being considered
from about two dozen other veterans.

Many VetFran franchisers allow veterans to acquire a franchise with a
down payment of 10 percent or less of the initial franchise cost, which
generally ranges from \$45,000 to \$150,000 for a small business.
Beginning July 1, ExxonMobil will provide a one-time waiver of up to
\$5,000 for certain training fees to any qualified honorably discharged
veteran who has been identified for training to operate a specific Exxon
or Mobil franchise dealer site.

> **Franchises 2/2/2/2**

\"Today's young men and women who are in the cockpits of our frontline
fighters, on the decks of our fighting ships and in the turrets of our
main battle tanks will be the veterans of tomorrow,\" said Mackay.
\"VetFran offers the means by which many of them can create a meaningful
civilian career when they put aside their uniforms.\"

Additional information for veterans and companies interested in
participating in the VetFran program can be found at
[http://www.franchise.org](http://www.franchise.org/) on the Internet.

veterans, visit VA's Center for Veterans Enterprise Web page at

**Subpart R - Public Interest Exclusions**

**§ 40.387   What matters does the Director decide concerning a proposed
PIE?**

\(a\) Following the service agent\'s response (see §40.379(b)) or, if no
response is received, after 30 days have passed from the date on which
the service agent received the NOPE, the Director may take one of the
following steps:

\(1\) In response to a request from the service agent (see
§40.379(b)(1)) or on his or her own motion, the Director may dismiss a
PIE proceeding if he or she determines that it does not concern serious
noncompliance with this part or DOT agency regulations, consistent with
the Department\'s policy as stated in §40.365.

\(i\) If the Director dismisses a proposed PIE under this paragraph (a),
the action is closed with respect to the noncompliance alleged in the
NOPE.

\(ii\) The Department may initiate a new PIE proceeding against you on
the basis of different or subsequent conduct that is in noncompliance
with this part or other DOT drug and alcohol testing rules.

\(2\) If the Director determines that the initiating official\'s
submission does not have complete information needed for a decision, the
Director may remand the matter to the initiating official. The
initiating official may resubmit the matter to the Director when the
needed information is complete. If the basis for the proposed PIE has
changed, the initiating official must send an amended NOPE to the
service agent.

\(b\) The Director makes determinations concerning the following matters
in any PIE proceeding that he or she decides on the merits:

\(1\) Any material facts that are in dispute;

\(2\) Whether the facts support issuing a PIE;

FDA MedWatch: Use of Codeine products by some breastfeeding mothers may
lead to life-threatening side effects in nursing babies

MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting
Program

FDA issued a Public Health Advisory with important new information about
a very rare, but serious, side effect in nursing infants whose mothers
are taking codeine and are ultra-rapid metabolizers of codeine. When
codeine enters the body and is metabolized, it changes to morphine,
which relieves pain. Many factors affect codeine metabolism, including a
person\'s genetic make-up. Some people have a variation in a liver
enzyme and may change codeine to morphine more rapidly and completely
than other people. Nursing mothers taking codeine may also have higher
morphine levels in their breast milk. These higher levels of morphine in
breast milk may lead to life-threatening or fatal side effects in
nursing babies. In most cases, it is unknown if someone is an
ultra-rapid codeine metabolizer.

When prescribing codeine-containing drugs to nursing mothers, physicians
should choose the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time
and should closely monitor mother-infant pairs. There is an FDA cleared
test for determining a patient\'s CYP2D6 genotype. The test is not
routinely used in clinical practice but is available through a number of
different laboratories. The results of this test predict that a person
can convert codeine to morphine at a faster rate than average, resulting
in higher morphine levels in the blood. When levels of morphine are too
high, patients have an increased risk of adverse events.

FDA Public Health Advisory and Drug Information Page, at:

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 5603.13.0090

Ms. Sheri L. Breit

American Overseas Airfreight Inc.

11034 South La Cienega Boulevard

Inglewood, CA 90304-1198

RE: The tariff classification of a spunbonded nonwoven fabric for use in
the manufacture of protective car covers, from China.

Dear Ms. Breit:

In your letter dated August 20, 1997, on behalf of Shrin Corporation,
Santa Ana, CA, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The
manufacturer is Nanhai Guannan Chemical Fibre Co., Ltd., Guangdong,
China. The shipper will be Bar Tech Co., Ltd, Hong Kong.

The instant sample, which was not identified as to style or quality
number, consists of a spunbonded nonwoven fabric that is composed of
polypropylene man-made fibers. The sample was informally weighed and was
found to weigh approximately 71.85g/m2. We presume that this material
will be imported as piece goods to be further manufactured into car
covers after its importation into the United States.

The applicable subheading for the material will be 5603.13.0090,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for nonwovens, whether or not impregnated, coated, covered or laminated,
weighing more than 70g/m2 but not more than 150g/m2. The rate of duty
will be 5 percent ad valorem.

This merchandise falls within textile category designation 223. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of China are
subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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. Part categories are the result of
international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent
renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information
available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the
Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels) , an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection
at your local Customs office.

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 George Barth at 212-466-5884.

Sincerely,

Paul K. Schwartz

**If December 10, 2003 was "a sad day for the freedom of speech,"**

**this day is even sadder.**

Dear Colleague,

We have entered a sad time for free speech. Beginning this past
Saturday, September 4th Americans are restricted in their ability to
engage in substantive political debate due to the 60-day blackout period
on non-PAC funded electioneering communication.

On December 10, 2003, the Supreme Court handed down its decision to
uphold the major provisions in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act. In
his dissenting opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote:

> "**This is a sad day for the freedom of speech.** Who could have
> imagined that the Court... would smile with favor upon a law that cuts
> to the heart of what the First Amendment is meant to protect: the
> right to criticize the government. For that is what the most offensive
> provisions of this legislation are all about. We are governed by
> Congress, and this legislation prohibits the criticism of Members of
> Congress by those entities most capable of giving such criticism loud
> voice: national political parties and corporations, both of the
> commercial and the not-for-profit sort. It forbids pre-election
> criticism of incumbents by corporations, even not-for-profit
> corporations, by use of their general funds; and forbids national
> party use of 'soft' money to fund 'issue ads' that incumbents find so
> offensive."

And now those provisions are being imposed upon everyone -- from now
until November 2, 2004. **If the approval of such provisions was a sad
day for the freedom of speech, then the actual imposition of them is
even sadder.** Under current campaign finance law, the "electioneering
communication" provisions require that certain broadcast communications
clearly depicting a federal candidate within thirty and sixty days of a
primary and general election, respectively, be paid for with PAC funds
only. Citizens should not have to check their calendars and set up PACs
before publicly mentioning federal candidates.

Please join me in protecting the political free speech for our nation by
cosponsoring H.R. 3801, the **[First Amendment Restoration Act of
2004]{.smallcaps}**! This bill would repeal the electioneering
communication provisions in current law and restore the freedom of
speech -- no matter how far or close to an election it is. Contact
Jessica Eng at 225-2721 for more information or to become a cosponsor.

> Sincerely,

**INTERNATIONAL BUREAU ANNOUNCES**

**REVISION TO FCC FORM 312, MAIN FORM**

The International Bureau (Bureau) has added a question to FCC Form 312,
the satellite and earth station license application form, that requires
satellite applicants to certify that either they are not subject to
geographic service rules, or that they will comply with any geographic
service rules that apply to them.

The Bureau invited comment on this form change in a public notice
published in the Federal Register, 71 FR 62463 (Oct. 25, 2006). No
comments were received and the Commission received approval from the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on March 16, 2007. Adding this
question to Form 312 should facilitate satellite licensee\'s compliance
with the Commission\'s geographic services rules.

Questions can be directed to the IBFS Help Line, 202-418-2222, or e-mail
us at IBFSINFO@fcc.gov.

MBI International is currently developing a group of novel polymers with
unique characteristics. The polymers form films where one side of the
polymer film is non-polar and the other side is highly polar. These
polymers have been referred to as two-dimensional (2D) polymers. A key
component in the formation of these polymers is a α, β-unsaturated
carboxylic acid or ester. Many such compounds are biobased, such as
fumaric acid and itaconic acid that are produced by fermentations or are
downstream products from biobased sources, such as 2(5)-furanone, a
by-product from the alkaline oxidation of cornstarch to form
(S)-3-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone. MBI international is developing a wide
range of applications for these polymers: To create a novel
non-thrombogenetic coating for use in coating medical implants. To form
conductive films that may be used in the formation of OLEDs for display
technologies. To develop an anti--infective coating that kills bacteria
on contact. To develop heavy metal absorption systems for removal of
pollutant from water supplies. This presentation will concentrate on the
applications being developed for these 2D polymers.

**REVOLVING FUND GRANT PROGRAM OFFERS ASSISTANCE\
TO RURAL WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS**

**\$496,500 in funds available nationwide**

BANGOR, Maine, February 15, 2008−USDA Rural Development's Revolving Loan
Fund can help rural communities maintain safe drinking water systems and
dependable water and waste facilities.

The Revolving Fund Grant Program provides funds to non-profit entities
for loans to finance predevelopment costs for water and wastewater
projects, or for short-term capital projects that are not part of the
regular operation and maintenance of current water systems. This funding
is important to rural communities as it invests in essential
infrastructure that helps sustain economic development.

USDA Rural Development State Director Michael W. Aube said "Quality
water systems are essential to economic development and quality of life
in rural communities. Without dependable infrastructure, a community
could not attract the businesses that enable it to grow and prosper."

Funds are available to public entities, such as municipalities,
counties, special-purpose districts, and Indian tribes. In addition,
funds may be made available to corporations operated on a not-for-profit
basis. Applications must be received no later than March 28, 2008. For
more information, visit
<http://www.usda.gov/rus/water/revolving-fund.htm> or contact Gary
Vanidestine, Utilities Program Specialist, at 990-9121 or
<gary.vanidestine@me.usda.gov>.

USDA Rural Development's mission is to increase economic opportunity and
improve the quality of life for rural residents. Rural Development has
invested nearly \$91 billion since 2001 for equity and technical
assistance to finance and foster growth in homeownership, business
development, and critical community and technology infrastructure. More
than 1.7 million jobs have been created or saved through these
investments. Further information on rural programs is available at a
local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA's web site at
<http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/me>.

INVALID SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS

\"Pocketbook Numbers\".

SSN 078-05-1120 was the first of many numbers now referred to as

\"pocketbook\" numbers. It first appeared on a sample Social Security

Card contained in wallets sold nationwide since 1938. Since then, it

has been reported thousands of times on Wage Reporting System matches

and taxpayer returns. People often thought that the number on the

card was theirs and used it as they would a government-issued number.

There are now over twenty (20) different \"pocketbook\" SSNs, each used

by some organizations displaying an actual number in their

advertising. The following are the most common \"pocketbook\" SSNs:

022-28-1852 141-18-6941 212-09-7694

042-10-3580 165-16-7999 219-09-9998

062-36-0794 165-18-7999 306-30-2348
