**RE: Docket 2005P-0411**

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Susanna Jones and I have been taking bio-identical hormones
for one and a half years. It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it
alleviates hot flashes, sweating, dryness, dehydration, mood swings, my
low energy level, apathy, and generally has helped to improve the
quality of my day to day life.

I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones
specifically

for me, and my pharmacist prepares them. Without this medication, my
hair was falling out, my skin had dried up, my body fluids had
disappeared, I was having difficulty thinking clearly, was unable to act
on those thoughts and ideas I did have, had no energy or motivation, was
exceedingly tired most of the time. My moods were unpredictable, I had
hot flashes day and night, I would get drenched when I was in bed
resulting in a need to change my sheets, an ability to sleep,
restlessness and consequent exhaustion the next day. Since taking
bio-identical hormones, my skin has regained its texture, my hair is
fuller, I don't break out in sweats and hot flashes all the time, my
body fluids replenish themselves, my digestion has improved and
subsequently my metabolism too. My mood swings are not as scary and I
generally feel more like the person that I know myself to be. The
concept of having bio-identical hormones being no longer available to me
is one I would rather not entertain as I had previously been on the
birth control pill, yet still had all the symptoms of menopause and
since I have been taking bio-identical hormones I can definitely tell
the difference between the two -- one works, the other does not.

The benefit of BHRT is that it is designed for me and I am concerned
that Wyeth's petition (Docket \# 2005P-0411) would limit the ability of
my physician and pharmacist to keep prescribing and preparing these
individualized doses for me. The FDA should reject Wyeth's petition.

Sincerely,

Susanna Jones

An efficient way to harvest and store large volumes of whole-plant corn
is by chopping with a forage harvester and ensiling in a bunker silo.
Advantages with whole-plant corn silage include the availability of high
capacity forage harvesters, no need for grain drying, and good quality
preservation at low cost in bunker silos. However, the biomass industry
requires separation of grain and stover components. Preliminary tests
indicate that hydrodynamic separation of corn grain from stover is
feasible because of large differences in buoyancy. Grains fall quickly
to the bottom while stover components float on water. Hydrodynamic
separation could provide a pre-steeping process for the corn wet milling
industry while the separated stover components could move into various
streams and be processed into multiple products. The paper presents data
on gravity, buoyancy and the ease of separation of ensiled whole-plant
corn into different components.

Mr. Abel Vargas

Calamari Corporation

P.O. Box 13429

Miami, FL 33101

RE: The tariff classification of braided and twisted nylon cordage

from Colombia.

Dear Mr.Vargas:

In your letter dated April 25, 1995, you requested a

classification ruling.

You have submitted two samples of nylon cords as follows: the

first sample is of tightly plaited, braided construction with a

core of plied nylon yarns; and the second sample is of cabled,

four-strand twisted construction. The twisted cord has four

partially obscured yarns stitched in the lengthwise direction to

keep the larger strands from unraveling. No item numbers are

indicated in your correspondence. Both samples measure between 5

and 6 millimeters in diameter and are red, white and blue in color.

We assume that each of the items measures over 10,000 decitex, and

that the the cordage will be imported in continuous lengths.

The applicable subheading for the braided cord will be

5607.50.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether

or not plaited or braided and whether or not impregnated, coated,

covered or sheathed with rubber or plastics; of other synthetic

fibers; other. The duty rate will be 6.8 percent ad valorem.

Your inquiry does not provide enough information for us to

give a classification ruling on the twisted cord. Your request for

a classification ruling should include information about the

lengthwise stitches, including whether or not they are made on a

knitting machine. Also, please send a larger piece of this sample.

The braid falls within textile category designation 669.

Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of

Colombia are subject to 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. Since 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 Section

177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the

documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the

transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire

AOA-PI-96-03

May 8, 1996

TO : STATES ADMINISTERING PLANS UNDER TITLE III and VII OF THE OLDER
AMERICANS ACT OF 1965, AS AMENDED

SUBJECT : FY 1996 Appropriation: Ombudsman and Abuse Prevention Funds

LEGAL AND RELATED

REFERENCES : Older Americans Act, as amended;

> P.L. 104-134, Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act
> of 1996

This Program Instruction (PI) provides guidance regarding funds
earmarked for ombudsman and abuse prevention activities in the
above-cited FY 1996 appropriations act. It supersedes the April 12, 1996
\"Dear Colleague\" letter, disseminated under Continuing Resolution #13.

P.L. 104-134 appropriates:

> \"For carrying out, to the extent not otherwise provided, the Older
> Americans Act of 1965, as amended, \$829,393,000, of which \$4,449,000
> shall be for section 712 and \$4,732,000 shall be for section 721.\"

The Notice of Grant Award providing allotments to the states of funds
appropriated under P.L. 104-134, which will be issued in the next few
days, will include specific amounts for Sections 712 (ombudsman
activities) and 721 (abuse prevention activities). These amounts (see
attachment) are calculated on the census data used for other grant
awards during this fiscal year --- the 1994 unrevised estimates produced
by the Census Bureau. As a result, the awards are generally at the same
level as the FY 1995 Title VII awards, with slight variations due to
population changes. The funds should be utilized by the states within

# Service Announces Availability of Perdido Key Beach Mouse Five-year Status Review

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today the completion and
availability of a five-year status review for the federally-listed
Perdido Key beach mouse.

After reviewing all of the best scientific and commercially available
information and data, Service biologists recommended the current listing
classification of endangered for the Perdido Key beach mouse remains
unchanged.

A five-year review is an Endangered Species Act (ESA) mandated process
conducted to ensure the listing classification of a species as either
threatened or endangered is still accurate. The five-year review is not
a rulemaking; it provides an analysis and a \"recommendation\" rather
than a \"determination\" and as such is not a decision document.

The ESA defines "endangered" as "...in danger of extinction throughout
all or a significant portion of its range..." whereas "threatened" is
defined as "...is likely to become an endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its
range..."

The five-year review and a list of Frequently Asked Questions are
available online at
[www.fws.gov/panamacity](http://www.fws.gov/panamacity) or may be
requested by email to Sandra_Sneckenberger@fws.gov, by fax at
850-763-2177, or by regular mail to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Attn: Perdido Key Beach Mouse 5-Year Review, 1601 Balboa Ave., Panama
City, FL 32405, or by telephone at 850/769-0552. Please include your
name and street mailing address in your request.

***Purpose\
***

Study a property of elastic polymers by passing a skewer through an
inflated balloon.

## *Performing the experiment*

1\. Inflate balloon to full size and then allow about one-third of the
air to escape.

2\. Tie off the end of the balloon after making certain that the balloon
is not longer than the skewer.

3\. Dip the tip of the skewer into Vaseline, and rub the tip with your
fingers to lubricate it. This requires only a very thin coating of
Vaseline!

1.  Using a gentle, twisting motion, insert the skewer into the thicker
    nipple end of the balloon, the end opposite the knot. Continue
    pushing and twisting the skewer until it comes out the other side of
    the balloon very close to the tied end. Were you able to do this
    without bursting the balloon?

2.  Slowly pull the skewer out through the tied end of the balloon.
    Place your hand over the hole to feel the air leaking out. Toss the
    balloon in the air and jab the side of the balloon with the skewer
    to burst.

3.  Place your deflated balloon in a trash container.

## *Questions to think about*

1\. Why can you ride for miles with a thumbtack through your bicycle
tire and tube? Why does air leak out of the tire and tube when you
remove the thumbtack?

***Explanation\
***

Balloons are made of a thin sheet of rubber containing many long
intertwined or cross-linked strands of polymer chains. When a balloon is
stretched, the polymer network will attempt to regain its original
shape, giving an elastic quality to the polymer. Blowing up the balloon
stretches these strands of polymer chains. The cross-linked chains of
elastic polymers in the balloon are pushed apart or separated when the
skewer is inserted. The polymer chains at the nipple end and tie end of
the balloon are not stretched as tightly as those at the sides of the
balloon, thus allowing the skewer to push the polymer chains apart and
enter the balloon without bursting it. When you remove the skewer, you
feel the air leaking out through the holes where the strands were pushed
apart. Eventually the balloon deflates. However, when you jab the side
of the balloon, the polymer chains are already fully stretched and are
unable to slide apart any farther without tearing. Once a tear starts,
it continues rapidly as the air rushes out, causing the balloon to pop.

Re: Docket Number 00D-1542

To Whom It May Concern:

Triangle PEERS is pleased to submit comments in response to the FDA\'s
Draft Guidance for Industry 21 CFR Part 11: Electronic Records;
Electronic Signatures -- Time Stamps. Triangle PEERS is an informal
association comprised of entities and individuals in North Carolina with
an interest in the implementation of 21 CFR Part 11.

Triangle PEERS commends FDA for issuing the draft Guidance and for
recognizing that certain areas of Part 11 implementation involve
procedural and training measures rather than solely technical solutions.
In particular, we found Section 5.3 ***Time Zones*** to be helpful. With
respect to Section 5.2 ***Systems Clock Security***, we recommend
changing the first paragraph as follows to clarify that there may be
situations when changes can legitimately be made to computer clocks.

***Original Language:***

> You should be able to detect inappropriate changes to computer clocks.
> You should establish and follow procedures to detect and deter
> inappropriate changes to computer clocks. For example, employees
> should be made aware that unauthorized changes to clock settings are
> serious and unacceptable actions. We believe employee training and
> awareness programs are especially important where computer systems
> lack a technical means of preventing people from changing clock
> settings. For example, in general, laptop computers lack a means of
> preventing clock changes.

***Suggested Clarification***

> We understand that there are situations where authorized persons
> should be allowed to change clock settings. For example, there may be
> an administrative need to change the clock settings for maintenance or
> travel between time zones. Nevertheless, you should establish and
> follow procedures to detect and deter inappropriate changes to
> computer clocks. For example, employees should be made aware that
> unauthorized changes to clock settings are serious and unacceptable
> actions. We believe employee training and awareness programs are
> especially important where computer systems lack a technical means of
> preventing people from making unauthorized changes to clock settings.
> For example, in general, laptop computers lack a means of preventing
> clock changes.

Triangle PEERS appreciates the opportunity to submit comments regarding
the FDA\'s Guidance on 21 CFR Part 11.

Date: December 27, 2007

To: Director, Special Projects, AJS-8

From: Joseph Teixeira, Air Traffic Operations Oversight Division,
Division Manager, AOV-100

Prepared By: Scott Proudfoot, Operational Reviews and Investigations
Unit, ATSI

Subject: PEATEWR07006

AOV recently traveled to EWR in conjunction with a Congressional
investigation concerning minimum/emergency fuel events at the EWR
airport. During this visit, AOV inquired about PEATEWR07006 and
discovered that the facility reviewed this pilot deviation and found no
controller issues pertaining to the event. AOV disagrees with the
facility's findings for the following reasons:

-   COA1434 was cleared to land by the EWR Local Controller (LC).
    Shortly afterwards, COA334 was cleared to land by the EWR LC. When
    COA334 replied, their transmission was blocked by COA1434 and
    partially heard. This blocked transmission should have been
    recognized by the controller. The controller should have taken
    action to notify each pilot of similar sounding callsigns on the
    frequency and to verify the readback of COA334.

-   The LC instructs COA1434 to cross runway 4L. This transmission is
    also blocked. Again, a blocked transmission occurs because of
    similar sounding callsigns and the controller does not recognize it.
    COA334 proceeds to cross runway 4L along with his company, COA1434.

FAA Order states:

**2-4-3. PILOT ACKNOWLEDGMENT/READ BACK**

**a.** When issuing clearances or instructions ensure acknowledgment by
the pilot.

**2-4-15. EMPHASIS FOR CLARITY**

> Emphasize appropriate digits, letters, or similar sounding words to
> aid in distinguishing between similar sounding aircraft
> identifications. Additionally:
>
> **a.** Notify each pilot concerned when communicating with aircraft
> having similar sounding identifications.

COA334 complied with an instruction that they thought was for them. It
is not known if they were aware of the similar sounding callsign who was
also on the frequency. The LC took no action to inform or correct COA334
of the erroneous readbacks or to advise them of the similar sounding
callsign.

AOV shares the same goal as the Air Traffic Organization. We both strive
to ensure the safest possible air traffic control system. If this
controller is not aware of their inactions during this event, future
events of a similar nature are likely to occur.

We look forward to any opinion you have on this issue and hope that the
facility shares our concerns. Thank you.

The effect of Ca^2+^, Mg^2+^ and several trace heavy metals (Cu^2+^,
Mn^2+^, Cr^2+^, Zn^2+^) ions on three types of PHB accumulation
bacterial strains was studied. Two of the bacterial strains,
*Sphaerotilus natans* (*S. natans*) and *0B17* (*Pseudomonas sp.*) are
wild type strains isolated from activated sludge. The remaining one is
the recombinant *E. Coli DH5 / pUC19 / CAB.*

Under the effect of Ca^2+^ and Mg^2+^, the PHB accumulation due to the
three bacterial strains will be reduced. It indicates that Ca^2+^ and
Mg^2+^ are not essential elements for the PHB production. As Recombinant
*E. Coli* has an ineffective depolymerase system, the suppression in PHB
accumulation may be due to the inhibition of PHB synthesis system.

Under the effect of heavy metals, Cu^2+^ inhibits the growth of the
three bacterial strains. For *S. natans*, Mn^2+^ is found to enhance the
PHB accumulation. For *0B17*, Cr^3+^ enhances the PHB accumulation.
However, for recombinant *E. Coli*, slightly enhancement in PHB
accumulation is observed under Cr^3+^.

Eifler-Lima has reported that 3-oxo-5-phenyl\--lactone (**A**) and
3-oxo-5-(4-fluorophenyl)\--lactone (**B**) have antinociceptive (pain
relieving) activity in mice. Unfortunately, the pain relieving ability
of compounds **A** and **B** was significantly lower when the drugs were
administered orally. Eifler-Lima suggested that this may be due to the
limited solubility of the compounds in water. To overcome this problem,
we have prepared compounds bearing, a nitro (NO~2~) group, an ether
group (RO), an acetyl group (CH~3~CO), and an acetylamino group
(CH~3~CONH) using the method that we have developed for preparing
5-aryl-3-oxo\--lactones. Preliminary results from a cyclooxygenase
inhibition study, a potential measure of antinociceptive activity, will
also be presented.

**FCC Designates 811 as the Nationwide Number to Protect Pipelines,
Utilities from Excavation Damage**

Washington, D.C. -- The Federal Communications Commission today
designated 811 as the nationwide number for contractors and others to
call before conducting excavation activities.

This nationwide abbreviated dialing code will provide an effective
replacement for an array of numbers used across the nation to connect to
communication systems operated by underground utility operators and
state and local governments. "One Call" notification systems enable
contractors to give advance notice of their plans to excavate so that
utility companies can mark underground facilities prior to excavation to
prevent damage to these facilities.

The Commission ordered that 811 be operational two years from
publication of its designation in the Federal Register. All service
providers must use 811 as the national abbreviated dialing code and
discontinue use of other dialing arrangements for access to One Call
Centers. One Call Centers must provide their toll-free numbers to
carriers to ensure that callers who dial 811 do not incur toll charges.

Established by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 1994, the
nation's 71 One Call Centers receive about 15 million calls annually. An
estimated 40% of the incidents in which underground pipelines and other
facilities were damaged were caused by those who did not call before
digging.

In the 2002 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, the federal government
strengthened its support for the One Call program by requiring that the
DOT and FCC establish a three-digit, nationwide toll-free number to be
used by state One Call systems.

811 is one of only eight "N11" codes, five of which have been assigned
for nationwide use. Those assigned are: 211 for government information
and referral services; 311 for non-emergency police and government
services; 511 for travel and information services; 711 for telephone
relay services for the hearing impaired; and 911 for emergencies. Prior
to today's decision, the Commission had not assigned 411, 611 and 811
for nationwide use, but these numbers have been widely used by carriers
for various purposes.

Use of other abbreviated dialing arrangements for access to One Call
Centers would have made certain area codes or local exchanges unusable,
resulting in considerable expense, possible confusion, and the loss of
approximately eight million telephone numbers.

Action by the Commission, March 10, 2005, by Order, FCC 05-59. Chairman
Powell, Commissioners Abernathy, Copps, Martin and Adelstein.

# [THE CITY OF EMERY AWARDED FEDERAL FUNDING]{.underline}

**Emery --** USDA Rural Development State Director Lynn D. Jensen was in
town today to present the City of Emery with an award of federal funding
to assist with improvements to the Little Learners Day Care facility.
Rural Development Director Les Boehmer and Rural Development Manager Tim
Murray were also in attendance at the event.

Jensen said, "I am happy that USDA Rural Development was able to work
with the City of Emery to fund the Littler Learners Day Care facility
which provides needed child care programs. The expanded facility will
greatly enhance the services being provided in the local and surrounding
communities."

The City of Emery's Little Learners Day Care facility is expanding due
to an increase in the number of children served. The expansion will
allow them to better serve its customers.

Funding for the project includes a USDA Rural Development community
facility grant in the amount of \$12,000 and other contributions
totaling \$18,000 for a total project cost of \$30,000. The funding was
used to make improvements to the existing day care facility.

Harley Fluth, Mayor of Emery, said, "We are proud that our Little
Learners Day Care in Emery is operating so efficiently. We have
employees that are very caring and love to work with little children.
Day care is under the city program and is a great asset to our small
town." He continued, "It brings people to our town that are looking for
a place to live. The new addition, which was funded with a grant,
donations and fund raisers, has allowed us to care for more children and
I believe we are to capacity at the present. I cannot say enough about
this fine facility."

USDA Rural Development\'s mission is to deliver programs in a way that
will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of
life of rural residents. As a venture capital entity, Rural Development
provides equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in
homeownership, business development, and critical community and
technology infrastructure. 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](http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/).
