You have contacted the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP)
regarding a complaint investigation (Intake Number 00-0951) filed with
the Massachusetts Department of Education against the X School District
concerning the provision of transportation X.

Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
and its implementing regulations, the term "related services" includes
transportation, and such developmental, corrective, and other supportive
services as are required to assist a child with a disability to benefit
from special education. 20 U.S.C. §1401(22) and 34 CFR §300.24(a). Such
transportation includes transportation to and from school and between
schools; travel in and around school buildings; and specialized
equipment (such as special or adapted buses, lifts, and ramps) if
required to provide special transportation for a child with a
disability. 34 CFR §300.24(b)(15).

As OSEP explained in a letter to District of Columbia Public Schools
Superintendent Franklin Smith, "if a public agency does not provide
transportation to the general student population, the issue of
transportation for students with disabilities must be decided on a
case-by-case basis. If a public agency determines that a disabled
student needs transportation to benefit from special education, it must
be provided as a related service at no cost to the student and his or
her parents." The letter goes on to state that "in all instances, each
student's need for transportation as a related service and the type of
transportation to be provided are issues to be discussed and decided
during the evaluation process and individualized education program (IEP)
meeting, and the transportation arrangements agreed upon should be
included in the disabled student's IEP." 23 IDELR 344.

We reviewed X individualized education programs (IEPs) covering the
school years 1999-2000 and 2000-2001. In both IEPs, the section entitled
transportation plan states no special transportation plan is needed and
transportation is not specified as a related service. IDEA does not
address your particular situation concerning whether parents are
entitled to reimbursement for transporting their child to services if
transportation is not a required related service on the IEP. We
appreciate your bringing this issue to our attention and will consider
this issue as we move forward in the IDEA reauthorization process.

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is an attractive one because it presents
higher productivity per reactor volume, lower capital and operating
costs, lower space requirements, simpler equipment and easier downstream
processing compared to that of submerged fermentation (SmF). This work
present the polygalacturonase production by thermophilic *Thermoascus
aurantiacus* by SSF using as substrate a mixture of sugar cane bagasse
and orange bagasse (1:1). Fermentative parameters as pH (5.0; 5,5 and
6,0), temperature (50 and 55°C) and substrate moisture (70 and 80%) were
evaluated in a factorial assay. The highest production of enzyme was
obtained at pH 5.0, substrate moisture 70% and 50°C. The results
indicated that is feasible to use agroindustrial residues for
polygalacturonase production by SSF under conditions determined.
Fairleigh Dickinson University -- Graduate Certificate in Emergency
Management Administration

The Emergency Management Administration certificate requires 12 credits
comprising of four classes that are three credits each. The program is
intended for students who are community leaders at the municipal,
county, state, or federal level who are involved or plan to be involved
in policy making, planning, implementation, and administration of the
four phases of emergency management: mitigation, preparedness, response,
and recovery. The student is given the opportunity to learn to create
customized maps using a Geographic Information System (GIS) class. Each
class provides detailed information in an area of emergency management
useful in response and recovery to disasters such as GIS, disaster
recovery and organizational continuity, and environmental response and
reporting. The latest structures such as the National Incident
Management System are taught. The certificate also teaches people in
mitigating such events by assessing threats, communicating
vulnerabilities, and coordinating with others to form and implement a
plan. Classes include a broad spectrum of issues and potential solutions
in community threat and risk analysis, as well as emergency management.
The program maintains a focus on both the traditional and emerging
systems which includes coalitions of countries or public and private
groups preparing and responding to tsunamis, earthquakes, and other
multinational events.

To date, the University has received \$1.5 million in funding from the
National Guard Bureau, which supported the development of twelve courses
and three certificates.

Students will choose any four of the following courses:

-   MADS6617 Emergency Management and Safety Administration

-   MADS6633 GIS and Emergency Administration

-   MADS6634 Community Threat Assessment and Risk Analysis

-   MADS6636 Global Preparedness for Catastrophic Emergencies (Wroxton
    elective)

-   MADS6611 Special Topics: Environmental Response and Reporting
    Seminar

-   MADS6647 Organizational Planning and Risk Communications

-   MADS6648 Disaster Recovery and Organizational Continuity

The minimum number of students per class is ten.

**Compatibility Determinations for Haying at Assabet River, Great
Meadows, and Oxbow NWRs Available for Public Review and Comment**

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released three draft
compatibility determinations for haying at the Assabet River, Great
Meadows and Oxbow National Wildlife Refuges. The determinations are
available for public review and comment until September 8, 2006.

The Service is required to complete compatibility determinations to
allow public activities to occur on a national wildlife refuge. The
compatibility determination that is being released today for public
review and comment indicates that haying is both a compatible use of
each refuge and contributes to the purposes of each refuge.

A compatible use is one that "will not materially interfere with or
detract from the fulfillment of the mission of the Refuge System or the
purposes of the refuge", as mandated by the National Wildlife Refuge
System Improvement Act of 1997. Not all uses that are determined
compatible must be allowed. Refuge managers have the discretion to allow
or disallow any use based on other considerations such as public safety,
policy and available funding. However, all uses that are allowed must be
determined to be compatible and appropriate.

Once finalized, these compatibility determinations will allow
individuals to mow and bale hay on the refuge, and remove the baled hay
for personal use. Because there is an economic value to baled hay, the
activity must also contribute to the purposes of the refuge.

These refuges, which are three of eight refuges comprising the Eastern
Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex, are managed for
migratory birds, including grassland birds. Haying is a useful
management technique which maintains and provides wildlife habitat for
grassland-dependent birds.

The draft compatibility determinations can be viewed online at
<http://www.fws.gov/northeast/assabetriver>,
<http://www.fws.gov/northeast/greatmeadows>, and
<http://www.fws.gov/oxbow>. People can also stop by the refuge complex
headquarters, located at the Great Meadows NWR, 73 Weir Hill Road in
Sudbury to obtain a copy of the determinations.

If you would like to submit comments, please send them via email to
<Libby_Herland@fws.gov> or mail at Eastern Massachusetts National
Wildlife Refuge Complex, 73 Weir Hill Road, Sudbury, MA 01776. The
deadline for submission of comments is September 8, 2006.

# **SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL K. POWELL**

Re: Children's Television Obligations of Digital Television
Broadcasters, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MM Docket no. ##-## (rel.
September 14, 2000)

My general policy is not to oppose Notices of Inquiry and Notices of
Proposed Rulemaking as long as they seek comments in a neutral fashion
and are sufficiently broad in scope. I write separately in this NPRM to
express some concerns I have with this Item.

First, let me state the NPRM raises important questions related to the
application of the existing children's television rules to digital
broadcast services. There are undoubtedly important questions concerning
the application of existing obligations to the new digital medium. Yet,
we are at the very preliminary stages of the digital transition, and it
is far from clear what form new services will take in the digital era.

It seems to me premature to attempt to fix public interest obligations
to a service that has yet to blossom. For example, the NPRM seeks
comment on whether the Commission should prohibit all direct links to
commercial Internet sites, a capability that is not even available today
on broadcast television. In my view, the wiser course would have been to
initiate an Inquiry at a time when we understand more about the proposed
or likely applications of digital television, so our proposal would bear
some plausible nexus to the service itself, rather than its potential.
At a minimum, I would have preferred that any public interest
obligations be considered in the broader DTV proceeding.

Second, I caution against introducing subjective tests that require the
Commission to make value judgments about the appropriateness of certain
content for children's viewing. The NPRM asks, for example, whether
"unsuitable promotions" should be banned during children's programming.
I am skeptical that we can, or should, make this subjective
determination. But assuming, *arguendo*, we could, I am troubled by the
fact that we have not established, as a threshold matter, that a serious
problem exists in this area. There is little, if any, empirical data in
the record to substantiate the conclusion that unsuitable promotions are
being aired during children's programming. I would hope that we gather
this type of hard data here, so we can then make fact-based decisions.

SUBJECT: FY 2007 Diversity/Civil Rights Policy Statement

TO: All Employees

FROM: Edward B. Knipling /s/

Administrator

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the premier agricultural
research organization in the United States, and enjoys international
recognition as a world-class research organization, as well. Our
unequivocal commitment to scientific excellence assures the high regard
in which we are held. The diversity of our workforce, as well as that of
our domestic and international partners and stakeholders, enriches our
understanding of the importance of our work. It also informs and drives
our relationships with each other in ARS, and with our university and
industry partners.

I am committed to creating, supporting and growing a diverse workforce
within ARS that reflects the diversity of the nation we serve. Diversity
encompasses many aspects of our lives including culture, education,
socio-economic status, personal experiences, political affiliation,
gender, religion, race, national origin, color, age (generation),
disability, marital status, parental status, social group affiliations,
and virtually all other aspects of life. I need your personal commitment
in this endeavor, as well: a commitment to understanding and accepting
that each individual is unique and to recognizing, respecting and
learning from each other and those whom we serve.

All ARS employees share in the responsibility for creating and
maintaining a diverse workplace free from discrimination, harassment,
and retaliation. Be proactive. Help prevent and eliminate workplace
barriers that may hinder the goal of a diverse workplace by
participating in mentoring programs, special emphasis programs, serving
on EEO/Diversity Committees, and other uplifting, empowering activities.
Help us educate ourselves about multicultural and other differences and
to value the contributions that each person makes as an individual.

Conduct or behavior contrary to this end that indicates discrimination,
harassment, or retaliation will not be tolerated, and will lead to
appropriate disciplinary or other adverse action.

As we foster and support employees to reach their career potential,
recognize and reward their achievements, and value their contributions
to the Agency, we maintain a competitive and qualified diverse workforce
designed to fulfill the ARS mission. None of us can be successful
working alone. Using and growing our diversity together will strengthen
ARS, and ensure that the high regard in which we are held continues to
be a source of strength and pride.

**§3.654 Active service pay.**

\(a\) *General.* Pension, compensation, or retirement pay will be
discontinued under the circumstances stated in §3.700(a)(1) for any
period for which the veteran received active service pay. For the
purposes of this section, active service pay means pay received for
active duty, active duty for training or inactive duty training.

\(b\) *Active duty.*

\(1\) Where the veteran returns to active duty status, the award will be
discontinued effective the day preceding reentrance into active duty
status. If the exact date is not known, payments will be discontinued
effective date of last payment and as of the correct date when the date
of reentrance has been ascertained from the service department.

\(2\) Payments, if otherwise in order, will be resumed effective the day
following release from active duty if claim for recommencement of
payments is received within 1 year from the date of such release:
otherwise payments will be resumed effective 1 year prior to the date of
receipt of a new claim. Prior determinations of service connection will
not be disturbed except as provided in §3.105. Compensation will be
authorized based on the degree of disability found to exist at the time
the award is resumed. Disability will be evaluated on the basis of all
facts, including records from the service department relating to the
most recent period of active service. If a disability is incurred or
aggravated in the second period of service, compensation for that
disability cannot be paid unless a claim therefor is filed.

\(c\) *Training duty.* Prospective adjustment of awards may be made
where the veteran waives his or her Department of Veterans Affairs
benefit covering anticipated receipt of active service pay because of
expected periods of active duty for training or inactive duty training.
Where readjustment is in order because service pay was not received for
expected training duty, retroactive payments may be authorized if a
claim for readjustment is received within 1 year after the end of the
fiscal year for which payments were waived.

## DRAFT PROPOSAL FOR THE WORK OF THE CONFERENCE

**WRC-03 Agenda Item 4**: in accordance with Resolution **95
(Rev.WRC-2000)**, to review the resolutions and recommendations of
previous conferences with a view to their possible revision, replacement
or abrogation;

**Background Information:** Recommendation **719** was agreed at
WARC-92. It concerned multi-service satellite networks using the
geostationay-satellite orbit and it recognized that, at that time, some
administrations had expressed an interest in developing multi-service
satellite networks in certain portions of the Ka-band. Related studies
on the technical characteristics and sharing criteria necessary for
compatible operations between multi-service satellite networks and the
fixed-satellite service were carried out by WP-4A in 1994 and the
results of these studies indicated the difficulty associated with
sharing between the multiple services of the FSS and the MSS in the same
frequency allocation, e.g., 19.7-20.2 GHz/29.5-30.0 GHz.

Little work has been done within the ITU-R on this subject since that
time. As a consequence of the initial ITU-R studies, there appears to be
little ongoing interest on the part of administrations in continuing to
pursue multi-service satellite networks. Considering all of this, it is
appropriate to suppress Recommendation **719**.

**Valley Specialty Crop Co-Operatives**

**Win Farm Bill Funds**

**April 21, 2003 -- Stockton, CA -** At a ceremony held today, Paul
Venosdel, State Director, USDA Rural Development and Congressman Richard
Pombo presented \$795,000 in ceremonial checks to representatives from
Pacific Coast Producers and Diamond Walnut Growers, representing funds
they received as part of the 2002 Farm Bill Value-Added Product
Development Grant program.

"Today is a great day for the members of these two specialty crop co-ops
and the many people they employ," said Paul Venosdel, State Director for
USDA-Rural Development. These highly competitive Farm Bill funds will
support the two specialty crop co-operative's efforts to increase
commodity sales through innovative marketing strategies. "It's a
pleasure to back these efforts to stimulate sales of walnuts, peaches,
pears and other fresh fruit, thereby strengthening the agricultural
business climate and protecting jobs for families," said Venosdel.

Pacific Coast Producers will use their \$450,000 grant for the
production of single serve fruit bowls. Peaches, pears, and a variety of
other fresh fruit are packaged into four ounce single serving containers
in fruit juice/syrup or flavored gel for immediate consumption.

The Diamond Walnut Growers received a \$345,000 grant that will be used
to introduce Diamond Glazed Walnuts into the snack category in
approximately 80 percent of domestic retail grocery, drug, club and mass
merchandiser outlets. By marketing Glazed Walnuts as a snack product,
Diamond will achieve visibility outside the baking aisle and produce
department, broadening its consumer base.

There were over 700 applications requesting more than \$120 million for
this grant program. From these applications, 231 grants in 43 states
totaling over \$37 million were awarded, which will fund a variety of
agricultural ventures such as renewable energy, agri-marketing,
high-value products from major crops and commodities. In California
there were 12 grants awarded totaling over \$2.4 million. Recipients are
required to obtain matching funds which will double the impact of the
USDA grants.

The USDA Rural Development is the lead federal entity for rural economic
and community development needs. Further information on USDA Rural
Development can be obtained by visiting USDA's website at

The Manufacture Of Synthesis Gas From Biomass And Production Of Alcohols
And Electric Power Using The Pearson Thermo-Chemical Steam Reforming And
Catalytic Conversion Processes

#### Stanley R. Pearson

Pearson Technologies, Inc. ("PTI") has constructed a 30-ton per day wood
waste to alcohol facility in North Mississippi. The process consists of
a syngas producing front-end with a Fischer-Tropsch back-end. Syngas is
produced using a multi-stage steam reformer (gasifier) with a "cold gas"
efficiency of 81%. The number of stages and operating conditions of the
reformer are dependant upon the end-use of the gas (i.e. if the end use
of the gas is to fuel boilers, air exclusion in fuel bunkers, feeders,
etc. need not be so stringent). Also, the reformer design is dependant
on the reactivity of the feed and the analysis of the feed. Should the
feed be high rank coal, more than "one" stage may be needed.
Temperatures and pressures will or may be adjusted. The Pearson reformer
is the only, or one of a small number of, syngas generators whose mol
ratio of products (H~2~ / CO) can be significantly adjusted with
operating conditions. The back-end is a fairly straightforward
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis loop, using a proprietary catalyst developed
by Pearson Technologies, Inc ("PTI"). Single-pass conversion to ethanol
is from 15% to 60% with a total conversion of 99+ %, with recycle.

Tackling the search for Lepton Flavor Violation with GHz waveform
digitizing using the DRS chip

*Stefan Ritt, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland*

This talk gives an overview and status report of the MEG experiment at
PSI, Switzerland, which searches for the decay ^+^ e^+^ at the 10^-13^
level. To accommodate the extremely high demands in this experiment
regarding pile-up suppression, timing resolution and versatility a
special chip has been developed. The Domino Ring Sampling chip (DRS) is
a radiation hard switched capacitor array capable of sampling 12
channels with 1024 bins each at a sampling rate of up to 5 GHz and 12
bits effective resolution on a single chip. The DRS chip is currently
used in the MEG experiment to digitize 2000 drift chamber channels and
1000 photomultiplier channels. The high resolution and timing accuracy
of the waveform digitization eliminates the need for traditional ADCs
and TDCs. A description of the design principles of the DRS chip
together with a comparison with other SCA chips is followed by an
overview of techniques used for waveform processing, such as data
compression, pulse shape discrimination and crosstalk elimination. The
emphasis lies on possible applications of this technology to other rare
decay experiments and cosmic ray astronomy.
