## What to Bring on Your Table Rock Hike

### A Checklist for Teachers, Program Leads, Parents, and Volunteers

Please review this list with your group to help ensure everyone will
come prepared on the day of your Table Rock hike.

1\) **Comfortable clothes** appropriate for the weather. Spring weather
can be unpredictable so bring layers and come prepared. It is
recommended that individuals sensitive to Poison Oak wear long pants for
protection.

2\) **Comfortable shoes** for hiking. To make your hike fun and safe,
participants must wear hiking boots or sturdy sneakers with good tread.
This is very important! The trail is rocky and can be very muddy in wet
weather. ***Sandals or other non-tying shoes are inappropriate.*** Avoid
wearing new shoes to reduce the risk of blisters.

3\) **Drinking water** to stay hydrated. Dehydration is a serious health
risk! Drinking water is not available on the Table Rocks. Each hiker
should bring at least a quart of drinking water in addition to a drink
for lunch. Hiking the Table Rocks takes a full day and you will get
thirsty! ***Please do not freeze your water. You can get really thirsty
waiting for ice to melt.***

4\) **A healthy, sack lunch** to eat while enjoying the view from the
top of the rock. All garbage will be packed out with us, so be prepared
to put your garbage back into your lunch sack or bag.

5\) **A backpack** that can be carried over the shoulders is handy for
carrying lunch, water, and any extra clothing. Do not bring bags or
lunches that have to be carried in the hands. Hikers\' hands should
remain free for stability, safety, and ease of walking.

6\) **Sunscreen, hat, or sunglasses** to protect your skin from
nature\'s elements. A good portion of the hike involves little or no
shade coverage. Hikers can be exposed to a lot of sunlight.

7\) **A camera** is a great way to capture memories of your Table Rock
hike.

HAPPY HIKING!

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 4202.92.3031

Ms. Saralee Antrim-Saizan

Carmichael International Service

533 Glendale Boulevard

Los Angeles, CA 90026-5097

RE: The tariff classification of a fishing tackle bag from China.

Dear Ms. Antrim-Saizan:

In your letter dated August 16, 2005, on behalf of HYI Hawe Yue, you
requested a classification ruling for a fishing tackle bag.

The sample submitted is identified as Model \# BW-003A "Jig Bag". The
item is a fishing tackle bag fitted with 16 plastic tubes designed to
hold fishing tackles. It is manufactured with an exterior surface of
nylon man-made textile material with PVC backing. It measures
approximately 6 ¾"(L) x 10 ½"(H) x 6 ¾"(W). It features a mesh lid that
closes with a zipper around three sides; a solid nylon pocket on one
side and a mesh pocket on the other. The bottom is perforated with a
number of holds to facilitate drainage of excess water. The bag is
designed to hold 16 tubes, 10"(L) x ½" diameter, which in turn are
designed to store 16 large metal fishing jugs or lures (not included).

In your letter you suggested classification under subheading
9507.30.8000, HTSUSA, which provides in part, for "fishing reels and
parts and accessories. However, the fishing tackle bag is of a kind
similar to the travel and sports bags of heading 4202. Sport bags of HTS
4202 are excluded from classification in subheading 9507.30 by Chapter
95 legal note 1(d). Therefore classification in subheading 9503.30.8000
is precluded and classification in Heading 4202 is more specific.

The applicable subheading for the fishing tackle bag will be
4202.92.3031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer surface
of textile material, other, of man-made fibers, other. The duty rate
will be 17.6 percent ad valorem.

HTS 4202.92.3031 falls within textile category designation 670. Quota
and visa status are the result of international agreements that are
subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most
current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to
this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the "Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas" available at
our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current
information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and
related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at
otexa.ita.doc.gov.

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 Kevin Gorman at 646-733-3041.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski

Director,

Specialist Division
**A[ntiproton]{.smallcaps} S[ource]{.smallcaps}**

> **19.f. [Accomplishments in FY04]{.underline}**

The Antiproton Source Department staff has expended its effort on Run II
Collider operations, including support of Recycler commissioning, and
developing and implementing the Run II upgrade plan. A peak-stacking
rate of 13.65 x 10^10^ antiprotons/hour averaged over one hour has been
achieved, as has a peak stack of 246 x 10^10^ antiprotons. Beam study
time is in large measure focused on the Run II upgrade effort to
maximize the stacking rate by increasing the available aperture of the
AP2 line and the Debuncher. This work builds on upgrades to the
Debuncher BPM system and installation of movable quadrupole stands.

### 

### 

### 19.g.1. Accomplishments Expected in FY05

The chief goals of the Antiproton Source Department will be to increase
the peak-stacking rate to beyond 20 x 10^10^ Antiprotons/hour and to
accumulate stack sizes as high as reasonably achievable in support of
maximized luminosity for the Collider program. This will be accomplished
with continued improvements to the Debuncher and Stack Tail momentum
cooling systems electronics, specifically Optical Notch filters for the
Debuncher, continued improvements to the AP2 and Debuncher admittances,
operation of a higher gradient lithium lens, and exploitation of the
increased beam intensity on target from 'slip stacking' in the Main
Injector. These improvements will lead to both a faster stacking cycle
time and higher flux through the complex for a given stacking cycle.
Work on Run II upgrades will continue at a significant pace.

### 

### 19.g.2. Future Accomplishments Expected in FY06 and Beyond

The Department will continue to spend a significant fraction of its time
on Run II Upgrade activities as they come to fruition. Successful
implementation of electron cooling in the Recycler will result in
installation of the Stack Tail momentum cooling upgrade and
commissioning of frequent antiproton transfers to the Recycler. Average
stacking rates should mirror the peak rate as the stack is emptied to
the Recycler every 30 minutes. Stacking rates of 40 x 10^10^
antiprotons/hour is the goal.

traits and strategies within each element to decrease stress among
victim assistance providers and to increase quality services to victims
of crime.

### Lessons {#lessons .NVAA-Heading-3}

1.  What Is Resilience?

2.  Five Core Elements of Resilience

3.  Personal Resilience Development Plan

### Learning Objectives {#learning-objectives .NVAA-Heading-3}

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

**PROVIDENCE, R.I. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses that\
April 16 is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster
loans that are available to small businesses located throughout the
State of **Rhode Island.**

"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 an unusually cool spring and
excessively wet weather pattern on April 28, 2006 through July 13,
2006," according to Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations
Center East.

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.

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.

"SBA can help these small businesses overcome their economic injuries by
offering them working capital loans, but the help cannot start until
they apply," Skaggs added.

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

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

**Release Date:** March 16, 2007 **Contact:** Michael Lampton

**Release Number:** 07-279, RI 10581 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**SBA DISASTER LOAN DEADLINE IS APRIL 16**

***SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS STILL HAVE TIME TO APPLY***

**WINDHAM, Conn. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses that\
April 16 is the filing deadline for federal economic injury disaster
loans that are available to small businesses located in the counties of
New London and Windham in the State of **Connecticut.**

"These counties are eligible because they are contiguous to one or more
primary counties in state of\
Rhode Island. 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 an unusually cool spring and
excessively wet weather pattern on April 28, 2006 through July 13, 2006.

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.

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.

"SBA can help these small businesses overcome their economic injuries by
offering them working capital loans, but the help can not start until
they apply," Skaggs added.

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 Friday from 8
a.m. until 9 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 16, 2007]{.underline}.**

**National Irrigation Water Quality Program**\
U.S. Department of the Interior

Department of the Interior National Irrigation Water Quality Program
Summary, FY 1986-91

Richard A. Engberg

ABSTRACT

The Department of the Interior National Irrigation Water Quality Program
was started in 1985 in response to concerns about contamination of
water, bottom sediment and biota in National Wildlife Refuges or
migratory bird use areas by trace constituents or pesticides in
drainwater from Department of the Interior constructed or managed
irrigation projects. The\
Program has five phases. In site identification (phase 1), over 600
irrigation projects were aggregated, studied, and categorized.
Thirty-one aggregated areas were selected for further study. By 1991,
reconnaissance investigations (phase 2) have been or are being carried
out in 25 areas and detailed studies (phase 3) have been or are being
carried out in 7 areas. Planning for remediation (phase 4) studies began
in 1991 for 4 areas. Remediation (phase 5) is not yet underway for any
area. Through FY 1991, Program expenditures have been \$15,376,100.

The Program has achieved great success owing to interbureau cooperation.
Funding is provided by the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Geological
Survey, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Study teams comprised of scientists from these bureaus conduct field
studies. The U.S. Geological Survey is lead agency for phases 2 and 3
studies and the Bureau of Reclamation is lead agency for phases 4 and 5
studies. Because of program structure within some of the bureaus, time
schedules for phases 2 and 3 report preparation and review have slipped.
Slow turn-around time for laboratory analyses contributed to delays
early in the Program. Phase 1 of the Program is complete and phases 2
and 3 will be completed by about 1995. Phases 4 and 5 may continue for
several years.

Artificial Snow Park In Amadora, Portugal

Amadora is one of the largest suburbs of Lisbon, the capital city of
Portugal.

The Mayor of the City Municipality of Amadora has announced that an
international public tender will be launched during the month of August
for the construction of an artificial snow park. All legal parameters
have been set by the Municipality, including the authorization for the
direct use of the area of land for the snow park that originally
belonged to the City Council of Lisbon and was used as a waste facility.
The 40 hectares that previously hosted the waste facility of Boba, will
be transformed into a modern artificial snow park with related sports
facilities.

The next step is the launching of the international public bid for the
architecture, construction (and management for a period of 50 to 90
years) of a park that will host more than one million people per year.

Since most Portuguese winter sports enthusiasts travel to the
Principality of Andorra, located in the Pyrenees, Southwestern Europe,
the City Council of Amadora is using the slogan "Don't Ski in Andorra,
Come to Amadora". The Detailed Plans for the Boba (PPB-Plano de Pormenor
da Boba) winter sports facility were approved early this year. This snow
park will be the only such facility in the country, with artificial snow
for ski and snowboard runs in addition to a bike path, amphitheatre,
area for extreme sports, office space, and a hotel.

The Amadora Municipality believes the PPB is being implemented according
to the objectives stipulated in the Municipal Director Plan and the
Urbanization Plan of Amadora. In order for the plans to continue and for
the bid to be launched, the project depends on the approval from the
Regional Coordination Commission of Lisbon and from the Minister of the
Environment.

U.S. suppliers of architectural services, artificial snow equipment and
other sports facility equipment may find opportunities in this project.

To learn about contacts and more detailed project information on the
Artificial Snow Park, please contact the Embassy.
