**Low Power FM Filing Window Deadline Extended**

## FCC Extends Filing Window Deadline for Low Power FM New Station Construction Permit Applications Through June 8, 2000

The Mass Media Bureau issues this Public Notice to announce that the
current window for filing low power FM (LPFM) new station construction
permit applications (Form 318) has been extended through June 8, 2000
for both electronically and paper-filed applications. The window, which
opened on May 30, was originally scheduled to close on June 5, 2000.
However, the Commission has received reports that potential applicants
had difficulty filing electronically on June 3 and June 4. Because the
window filing period was short in the first instance and because it
represents the only opportunity that applicants from twelve states or
territories will have to file Form 318 for at least 12 months, the
Bureau has concluded that, as a matter of equity, an extension is
appropriate. Applicants from the following jurisdictions may file during
this extension period: Alaska, California, District of Columbia,
Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Mariana Islands, Maryland, Oklahoma,
Rhode Island, and Utah.

The new deadline for electronically filed applications is 11:59 PM EDT
on June 8, 2000. Electronic filing is available through the broadcast
station Consolidated Database System (CDBS) online electronic forms
filing system. Users can access this system via the Internet from the
Mass Media Bureau's web site at:

<http://www.fcc.gov/mmb>

Electronic filing system instructions are available in the CDBS User's
Guide. The Guide can be accessed from the Mass Media Bureau web site,
above, by clicking on the "CDBS" link. This action will take the user to
the Mass Media Bureau CDBS Electronic Filing System site. The user
should then click on the "Go to CDBS User's Guide" link. Internet access
to the CDBS online electronic forms filing system requires, at a
minimum, a browser such as Netscape version 3.04 or Internet Explorer
version 3.51.

The new deadline for paper filers is 7 PM EDT on June 8, 2000. For paper
filers, Form 318 may be downloaded from the Internet at:

<http://www.fcc.gov/formpage.html>

Detailed instructions on paper filing procedures are contained in
*Public Notice, Low Power FM Filing Window*, DA 00-914 (released April
28, 2000). A copy of this Public Notice may be found by clicking on the
"April 28, 2000 LPFM Public Notice" link at the main LPFM web page:

### CRISIS COUNSELING FUNDS NOW AVAILABLE 

(CITY, STATE) \-- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has
funded a (\$ AMOUNT) grant to (STATE) Department of Mental Health to
provide immediate crisis counseling services for victims of the
(DISASTER).

\"Losing a home, business, or personal property to disaster takes a
financial toll on victims,\" said (NAME), federal coordinating officer.
\"But the emotional toll a disaster exacts can be devastating too. A
victim\'s emotional recovery also needs to be addressed."

Common reactions to a disaster may include: nightmares, difficulty
sleeping, feelings of being overwhelmed, fear of the weather, anxiety
about the future, difficulty making decisions, hopelessness,
disappointment with outside help, headaches, increased anger or
aggression, domestic violence, frustration, and feelings of
powerlessness. These feelings can be exhibited by people of all ages,
including children.

\"People affected by a disaster can be seriously stressed and confused
by the sudden adversity in their world," said (NAME), state mental
health counselor.  "We try to keep them from being overwhelmed and
empower them to regain control of their lives. No one who experiences a
disaster goes untouched by it.\"

Crisis counseling helps storm victims recognize normal stress reactions
and emotions caused or aggravated by a disaster and regain control over
themselves and their environment.

Any individual who was affected by the disaster and is in need of crisis
counseling, and lives in any one of the counties designated a disaster
area, can call their county mental health services office. Individuals
who have suffered losses or damages from (DISASTER TYPE) can register
for disaster assistance by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (1-800-621-3362)
between (AM) and (PM), (DAY-DAY). The number for the speech- and
hearing-impaired is TTY 1-800-462-7585. Individuals may also register
for disaster assistance at the FEMA website
[www.fema.gov](http://www.fema.gov/) .

**REPORT OF WHALING OPERATIONS**

**REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS**

**OMB CONTROL NUMBER 0648-0311**

Expiration Date: 2/28/09

**[Purpose]{.underline}**

The information to be submitted under this collection of information is
necessary to comply with obligations under the International Convention
for the Regulation of Whaling (1946). The Schedule of the Convention is
binding on the United States and requires that this information be
submitted for all whaling operations authorized by the International
Whaling Commission (IWC), including the aboriginal subsistence whaling
currently conducted by Alaska Eskimos and the Makah Tribe. The
collection of this information is authorized by the Whaling Convention
Act (16 U.S.C. 916 [et seq]{.underline}.) And is located in 50 CFR 230.
Additionally, information on the retrieval and use of dead whales
(\"stinkers\") is requested in order to have a record of all whales
brought to shore and to ensure that whales killed under the IWC quotas
are not claimed to have been found dead.

**[Reporting Instructions]{.underline}**

The required reports from whaling captains must include at least the
following information:

\(1\) The number, dates, and locations of each strike, attempted strike,
or landing:

\(2\) The length (taken as the straight-line measurement from the tip of
the upper jaw to the notch between the tail flukes) and the sex of the
whales landed:

\(3\) The length and sex of a fetus, if present in a landed whale:

\(4\) An explanation of circumstances associated with the striking or
attempted striking of any whale not landed.

**[Submittal and Contact Information]{.underline}**

The reports are to be submitted to the respective native American
whaling commission, which then submits them to National Marine Fisheries
Service. There are two native American whaling commissions in operation:

1.  Alaskan Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC)-

which oversees whaling by ten traditional whaling villages in Alaska.

Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission

Box 570

Barrow, Alaska 99723

2.  The Makah Whaling Commission-

which oversees whaling by members of the Makah tribe of Washington.

Interoperability Requirements, Standards, or Performance Specifications
for Automated Toll Collection Systems AGENCY: Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA); DOT.  ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM); request for comments.  

The following comments are submitted on behalf of the I-95 Corridor
Coalition, an alliance of transportation agencies, toll authorities, and
related organizations, including law enforcement, from the State of
Maine to the State of Florida. Included under this I-95 Corridor
Coalition Membership umbrella is the InterAgency Group (IAG) and various
tolling authorities.

The I-95 Corridor Coalition supports the establishment of a national
standard which considers existing standards and financial investments
made in deployed systems. At a minimum, any proposed change should be
backward compatible with the E-ZPass system already in place. Working
closely with the IAG, one of our current I-95 Corridor Coalition
projects partially funds the development of the Electronic Payment
Systems National Interoperability Standard (EPS NIS), and support for
this project was approved by our Electronic Payment Systems and Services
Program Track encompassing toll agencies throughout the I-95 Corridor.
This project will define financial and technical standards which can be
readily applied nationally. We encourage the FHWA to incorporate current
E-ZPass technologies, functions, and processing in such a national
standard, for it is not fiscally viable to require toll agencies to
develop and implement new electronic payment systems without
consideration being given to existing de facto standards and
specifications.

The I-95 Corridor Coalition thanks you for the opportunity to submit
these comments, and we look forward to working closely to develop
national standards with FHWA, the IAG, and others.

Respectfully Submitted,

U.S. Bureau of Land Management\
Western Oregon Plan Revision\
P.O.B. 2965\
Portland, Oregon 97208\
\
Dear Sirs:\
\
We   recently found out that the Bureau of Land Management been using
\"new science\" to revise the maps of Timber Management Areas (to be
cl earcut) and Late Successional Management Areas (to be protected for
owl habitat) that are/were part of Alternative 2 of the W.O.P.R . This
troubles us greatly and we hope that during the process of revising
Alternative 2 of the Western Oregon Plan Revision T. 19S. R.06W. Sec.
17  will be kept  as a Late Successional Management Area.  In this
section is a small, beautiful, old-growth grove, and nearby older
forest, which together comprise approximately one quarter of the
section. This is an area for environmental education and recreation that
is greatly valued by students, teachers, and residents in Crow and
Eugene.

This old-growth forest near Crow is one of the the oldest stands of
native forest close to Eugene. It has\
\* 300 - 400-year-old Douglas firs, along with very old western red
cedar and western hemlock    \
\* younger trees of diverse ages\
\* diverse understory of shrubs, herbaceous plants, mosses, and fungi\
\* habitat suitable for spotted owl and marbled murrelet\
\* forest stretching from Wolf Creek up to Timber Ridge, a 600-foot
elevation span that adds species and habitat diversity to the area.\
 \
 Like many Oregonians, there are places on B.L.M. land that are
important in our lives  a nd this particular forest has become important
in the lives of many people, especially  students at Lane Community
College . For the past three years, field trips to the old growth forest
on Wolf Creek have been an important part of class study of western
Oregon nature and environmental protection. Student docents have learned
to explain such elements as snags, nurse logs, vegetation layers and
food chains of an old-growth forest to others. They served as forest
guides for another group of students from L.C.C., and also began to
introduce the forest to students from Crow High School. The Wolf Creek
forest is becoming an educational element in the lives of more and more
students and other people as well.\
\
We/I believe it is important to have an old-growth area for learning
about the forest in the Coast Range and west of Eugene, in addition to
the B.L.M.\'s two formal Environmental Education areas east of I-5,
which are not in the Coast Range. It helps many educators and students
to have an old-growth forest close to educational institutions in and
near Crow/Lorane/Veneta and west Eugene, in a place on Wolf Creek Road
that is easily accessible to everyone. I believe this forest is the
closest publicly-owned old-growth forest in our area that is accessible
from a paved road.\
\
We/I hope this lovely old growth grove can remain as a Late Successional
Management Area, for the continuing benefit of Lane County students now
and for generations to come.\
\
Thank you for your attention. 

 

Sincerely yours,

**[Re: Response to USDA Eggplant Mitigation Suggestion]{.underline}**

Dear Mr. Fedchock,

Thank you for your letter of the 8^th^ of October allowing us to comment
on your draft import requirements proposal.

We have the following comments:

**Pest monitoring and control**

-   \"*McPhail traps*\": please be advised that we use currently use
    Tephri traps.

-   \"*Fruit material*\": please explain the intention.

-   \"*Malathion baits...*\": the Arava currently has a SIT program
    which is complemented, (whenever a hot-spot is found) with bait
    sprays, removal of fruit and netting. The Arava has always been
    considered as an area of low pest prevalence for the Medfly

-   *Trapping for Medfly...*\": export from the Arava includes all the
    Arava and its 18 settlements (not just Paran). Trapping is carried
    out in all agricultural regions in the Arava as well as in all the
    residential areas.

**PC**

\"*...pests listed in the requirements*\": please explain to what this
refers to.

Yours sincerely

TEST REPORT

STEREO IMPACT SEP/SIT FM1 VIBRATION REPORT

Written by: Glenn Mason

Date: Aug 8, 2005

**1. OVERVIEW**

The STEREO SEP/SIT vibration test for the flight model 1 (FM1) unit was
conducted May 10-12, 2005, in the Bldg. 7 facilities at Goddard Space
Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. Scott Lasley (UMd), Kristin Wortman
(GSFC), and Glenn Mason (UMd) supported instrument handling and testing
after each axis shake. Steve Wasserzug verified that the tests carried
out were in accordance with the test procedure. Test engineering support
was provided by Dan Worth and others on his staff (GSFC).

Tests were conducted in the X-, Y-, and Z- axes as defined in the Test
Plan.

After each axis, the instrument was removed from the shake cell, and
connected to its GSE for a functional test. The instrument passed all
the functional tests.

**2. REFERENCE DOCUMENTS:**

STEREO IMPACT SIT Acoustics and Vibration Test Plan, dated 17 Jan. 2005

**3. PASS / FAIL CRITERIA:**

Post-vibration CPT of the FM1 unit verified functionality was not lost
in testing. Inspection of the instrument revealed no notable degradation
mechanically or structurally.

On May 14, the telescope door was opened in preparation for the thermal
vacuum test. The door opening test on May 14 verified that the door
mechanism had not been significantly degraded.

At the time of the door opening on May 14 the outer foil was inspected
for any degradation, and none was seen. The inner foil cannot be checked
in this manner, so its status was not determined. Inspection of the
inner foil would require disassembly of the telescope. However, since
the outer foil showed no evidence of degradation, and since the
instrument was operating normally, it is assumed that the inner foil was
not damaged in the vibration test.

During each axis test, the survival heater was powered, and the current
draw monitored visually on the power supply dial. There were no
variations observed in the survival heater current during the vibration
tests.

Washington, DC 20520

Dear Sirs:

AAA Partners in Adoption, Inc. (PIA) has been a licensed child-placing
agency since 1994. We have adoption programs in Russia & South Africa.
For ten years, I have had liability insurance coverage with Marsh USA,
Inc. My insurance premiums have doubled over the last two years. My
insurance broker had much difficulty this year in even finding a broker
to underwrite my coverage. I spoke with my broker, and she stated that
Marsh USA, Inc. would not be able to provide the coverage that the Hague
proposes. We are this year involved in a frivolous lawsuit because we
have a sizeable liability policy. Extending insurance coverage, if even
possible, to persons overseas would open our agency to all kinds of
litigation. We would be forced to close our doors.

The provision about filing complaints with the accrediting bodies who,
if they \'suspend our license, can only be reversed by taking them to
the Federal District Court would discourage PIA from taking on adoption
cases with extenuating circumstances and special needs adoption. We have
taken pride in having a particular interest in special needs children
and have never shirked from a difficult adoption.

The Hague is proposing that all social workers must have a MSW. I
believe this is grossly unfair and shortsighted. I have a supervisor
with 30+ years of experience in adoption services. Her degree is a
Masters in Education. There should be some exception for experience in
lieu of an MSW. I would have to fire the majority of my staff.

As to an agency carrying three months of operating expenses, I can
understand, perhaps,

a brand new agency having to prove a financial base. However, we have
been in business for ten years, and we often operate on a cash flow
basis.

We strongly hope you will reconsider the aforementioned provisions. In
ratifying the Hague Treaty as proposed, you will create more barriers
for the fine adoption agencies who champion the cause of million of
orphans around the world.

Sincerely,

Melissa Clause

Yusen Air and Sea Service (U.S.A.), Inc.

Inglewood, CA 90301

RE: The tariff classification of a Film Analyzer and an Eyemark

Recorder from Japan.

Dear Ms. McEleney:

In your letter dated March 16, 1990 on behalf of

Instrumentation Marketing Corp. of Burbank, California you

requested a tariff classification ruling.

The NAC Film Analyzer is used to look at a roll of 16 or

35mm film one frame at a time and by superimposing an X-Y

coordinate of a particular object through a sequence of frames a

number of measurements can be made. In appearance, the unit

resembles a rear screen projector. The screen or front surface of

the projector serves as an electromagnetic digitizing table. A

free-floating cursor is used to transmit the X-Y coordinates.

Below the screen is a pull-out control panel featuring an LED

display of the X-Y coordinates, a frame counter, and an auto-

step. The analyzer also features interchangeable projection

heads, 16mm, 35mm and 70mm, all pin registered. The digitizer

provides the inputs to a PC running the Moving Image Analysis

Software (MOVIAS). Measurements include position, displacement,

velocity, length, angle, area, acceleration, force, momentum,

energy and power. (The PC is not imported; the software is

separately imported). A typical use for the system would be in

car crash test studies.

The NAC Eyemark Recorder Model EMR-V is not a recording

device. The unit, which is strapped on the head of the user, is

composed of three television cameras. Each camera transmits a

video signal which when relayed to a video tape recorder will

record field of view - right and left eye focal points.

The applicable subheading for the NAC Film Analyzer will be

9031.80.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for other measuring or checking

instruments, appliances and machines. The rate of duty will be

4.9 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the NAC Eyemark Recorder will

be 8525.30.0060, HTS, which provides for other television

cameras. The rate of duty will be 4.2 percent ad valorem.

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

**Metropolitan College of New York - Proposed Master of Public
Administration Degree in Homeland Security**

The Metropolitan College of New York has proposed a Master of Public
Administration degree in Homeland Security.  The one-year program will
consist of three semesters of fifteen credits each necessary to complete
the required 45 credits to earn the master's degree.  \
\
Each semester will focus on a specific area of study relevant to the
completion of the equivalent of a master's thesis.  The first semester's
focus will be on identifying a need the student believes could
significantly improve some aspect of needs not met by current
organizational security response. This identified need will become the
focus and the context for the yearlong study. The second semester will
challenge students to translate a researched need into a piloted
project.  The essential focus here is on critical managerial decisions
in the midst of a security breach.  In the third and final semester
students will be asked to report their overall findings and to propose a
plan for the utilization of their research in the context of a
long-range plan.  \
\
Proposed courses include:\
\
· Introduction to Homeland Defense and Security\
· NSP Issues in Research and Policy Analysis\
· Values and Ethics for Administrative Decision Making\
· Critical Infrastructure: Vulnerability Analysis and Protection\
· Intelligence and Homeland Security\
· Planning & budget strategies for Homeland Security\
· Systematic Approaches to Management\
· Integrated Studies in Safeguards and Countermeasure Designs\
· Integrated Studies of the Intelligence and Counter Intelligence
Communities\
· National Security Programs Architecture and Mission\
· Introduction to Civil-Military Relations\
· Planning & budget strategies for Homeland Security\

RE: The tariff classification of knit glove and sock liners

from China.

Dear Ms. Cunningham:

In your letter dated December 7, 1994, on behalf of Terramar

Sports Worldwide Ltd., you requested a classification ruling. As

requested, the sample will be returned to you.

You have submitted two samples. Style SW185 is a pair of

knitted 70% silk and 30% wool glove liners. The gloves have an

inset thumb, fourchettes and an applied knit cuff.

Style SW186 is a pair of knitted 70% silk and 30% wool knee

high sock liners.

The applicable subheading for style SW185, will be

6116.99.8020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or

crocheted: other: of other textile materials: other, subject to

wool restraints. The duty rate will be 4 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style SW187, will be

6115.99.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for panty hose, tights, stockings and

socks, . . . knitted or crocheted: other: of other textile

materials: other, containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk

or silk waist. The duty rate will be 10.5 percent ad valorem.

Style SW185, fall within textile category designation 431.

Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of

China are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel category 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.
