ARS Strategic Goals

**[GOAL 1]{.underline}**: Enhance Economic Opportunities for
Agricultural Producers

Objective 1.2: Contribute to the Efficiency of Agricultural Production
Systems. ARS will develop and disseminate science-based information to
provide U.S. producers of agricultural products with increased
flexibility to effectively manage unforeseen risks that affect
profitability and product quality. U.S. agricultural production and
marketability is constantly influenced by factors such as
**unpredictable weather**, disease and pest outbreaks, and changing
consumer demands. Use of genetically diverse germplasm resource
collections and best management practices requires research that helps
improve production efficiency and productivity through the development
of pest resistant varieties and information to facilitate
decision-making. *Cultivars will be developed that are adapted for
management practices that optimize soil microbial, carbon, nitrogen, and
water resources for sustainable production.*

**[GOAL 5]{.underline}**: Protect and Enhance the Nation's Natural
Resource Base and Environment

Objective 5.2: Provide Science-Based Knowledge and Education To Improve
Quality and Management of Soil, Air, and Water Resources. Sound
scientific management of productive croplands should lead to the
maintenance of sustainable high levels of soil, air, and water quality
and benefit both agricultural production and the environment. ARS will
provide producers with management practices and tools that will allow
sustainable food, feed, and fiber production while protecting soil, air,
and water resources. *Develop improved conservation practices and
systems that would, if adopted, improve productivity, conserve soil
resources, and enhance environmental quality.*

Grove Heights Town Homes Celebrates Grand Re-Opening**

*Rehabilitation complete on nation's first Section 515 housing project*

GROVE CITY, Minn., Oct. 18 -- Officials from Rural Development in the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) visited Grove City on Tuesday to
celebrate the grand re-opening of Grove Heights Town Homes. An \$834,000
Rural Development loan helped to renovate the 26-unit family housing
complex.

Grove Heights Town homes (formerly Grove City Community Homes) was
awarded the nation's first Section 515 multi-family housing loan in 1964
when USDA Rural Development was known as the Farmer's Home
Administration. USDA Rural Development provides funding to rural
communities for housing, clean water, health care and other
infrastructure needs.

The initial \$182,000 loan was used to build the complex. Local
residents raised the remaining \$18,000 needed to complete the project,
and the village of Grove City contributed about \$16,000 to provide
utilities and build roads.

"It is great to get out and see the value that our housing programs
deliver to rural America," said Peter Morgan, Chief of Staff of Rural
Development's Housing Programs. Morgan traveled from Washington DC to
attend the event. "In addition to providing quality housing to the Grove
City area, this piece of property preserves a valuable piece of historic
property. I'm glad Rural Development chose to rehabilitate this
project."

The \$834,000 loan helped extensively repair the interior and exterior
of the complex, including roof repairs, parking lot paving, new
carpeting and new kitchens. In addition to the \$834,000 from USDA Rural
Development, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency contributed \$294,000
to the project.

"I was here before the rehabilitation started, and the difference is
night and day," said Steve Wenzel, State Director of Rural Development
in Minnesota. "I want to congratulate the residents of Grove City. This
is a beautiful and historically significant housing complex."

Since 2001, Rural Development has invested about \$3 billion throughout
Minnesota. The agency has funding available for housing, clean water,
essential community facilities, job creation, and other infrastructure
projects. For more information, call the local office in Willmar at
(320) 235-3540, or visit www.rurdev.usda.gov/mn.

**New EPA Regulations for Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations**

**August, 2008**

**40 CFR Part 63 Subpart HHHHHH**

EPA has new requirements to reduce air pollution of methylene chloride,
chromium, lead, manganese, nickel, and cadmium from surface coating
(painting) operations. These pollutants pose health risks to anyone who
breathes the air that contains them. Many paints used in surface coating
work contain these metals. The new regulations require surface coating
businesses to do several things to prevent these pollutants from getting
into the air during spray painting.

This is a short summary of things a paint shop must do before January
2011. New shops must do all these before beginning to paint. Although
EPA has no requirements for hobbyists or private citizens, the following
are also good practices to improve the air for anyone exposed to surface
coating fumes. Most paint shops already do these things.

The surface coating rules will annually reduce about 14 million pounds
of hazardous air pollutants. Any initial costs to you when beginning to
meet this rule will quickly be made up by your cost savings as a result
of better use of labor and materials. The rule can be found at:
<http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/fr09ja08.pdf> Also a minor correction
notice is at: <http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/fr13fe08.pdf>

For more details and assistance, please talk to your paint providers or
EPA regional office. These web links to government contacts are a good
place to start:

-   <http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/regional_contacts.pdf>

<http://www.smallbiz-enviroweb.org/sba/sbap.html>

All surface coating facilities must:

-   Train/certify all painters on spray gun selection, spray techniques,
    maintenance, and environmental rules.

-   Install and operate filters in ALL spray booths, stations and
    enclosures to catch at least 98% of the fumes.

-   Spray-applied coatings must be applied with a high volume, low
    pressure (HVLP) spray gun, electrostatic application, airless or
    air-assisted airless spray gun, or similar application method.

-   Paint spray gun cleaning must be done so that no fumes escape during
    cleaning.

-   Send a notice that you are an owner or operator, to your local EPA
    office: [addresses](../addresses) are at the bottom of this example
    notification form:
    <http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/paint_strip_example.doc>

Additionally, facilities must keep the following records on file:

● Copies of Notifications submitted to EPA (an example to use can be
found at:

<http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/paint_strip_example.doc> )

● Painter training certifications.

● Spray booth filter efficiency documentation.

● Spray gun transfer efficiency.

Please note exemptions to the rule are facility maintenance activities,
which include the application of coatings to stationary structures or
their appurtenances at the site of installation (such as bridges), to
portable buildings at the site of installation, to pavements, or to
curbs.
**Tancredo Claims Victory in Successful DHS Implementation of Aerial
Surveillance**

####### ***Tancredo said, \"The next positive step is to use this proven technology along our entire border.\"***

#### * *

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - Congressman Tom Tancredo (CO-06) today claimed a
partial victory as Department of Homeland Security Undersecretary Asa
Hutchinson released outstanding statistics illustrating the
effectiveness of aerial technology in enhancing border security.
Tancredo has touted this technology for some time as an effective means
to stem the growing tidal wave of illegals crossing into the U.S.

 

\"While this is just a partial victory on the road to securing our
nation\'s borders, it is a step in the right direction,\" said Tancredo,
Chair of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus. \"Now that we\'ve
proven that this method works, I think it\'s time to push for
nation-wide use, especially with an approaching election and the threat
of another attack looming over voters.\"

 

In a release by the Department of Homeland Security[^1]\[1\]
Undersecretary Hutchinson explained that since the DHS began the Arizona
Border Initiative (ABC) just six months ago, border enforcement
officials have apprehended more than 351,700 illegal aliens, and
increased the apprehension rate for human smugglers by 68 percent. He
also reported that law enforcement officials have increased the amount
of narcotics seizures from 165,057 lbs. in 2003 to a whopping 359,604
lbs. during the same period in 2004.

 

\"The ABC initiative has done what many naysayers said it could not. The
hard work of DHS officers and the deployment of cutting edge technology
has made America safer, and saved lives on both sides of the border,\"
said Tancredo, referencing the doubling of illegals saved in the
unforgiving desert to 697 lives. \"It isn\'t perfect, but this
initiative has proven to be a rare success story in an ongoing effort
that hasn\'t seen many.\"

 

The ABC initiative equips border agents with Unmanned Ariel Vehicles
(UAVs), two additional helicopters, and provides additional air
surveillance, interdiction and law enforcement support to the Air and
Marine Operations division of the U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).

**Help Save the Oldest Christian Community in the World**

**Co-sponsor a resolution recognizing the plight of Palestinian
Christians**

Dear Colleague:

It's time for Congress, the President and the international community to
address the systematic destruction of the oldest Christian community in
the world. Since the Palestinian Authority gained control over the Gaza
Strip and the West Bank, the political, social and economic status of
the Christian community has declined precipitously. This has led to mass
migration of Palestinian Christians out of territories under Palestinian
Authority control. In addition, Christian holy sites and cemeteries have
suffered repeated desecration with little response from the police.

Until now, the human rights record of the Palestinian Authority has been
ignored in order to advance the Middle East peace process. However, a
Palestinian government that does not respect the rights of minorities
under its rule will neither be a partner for peace nor a beacon of
democracy for the rest of the region. Equal rights under the law for all
people must be a pre-requisite for any Palestinian government that
receives support from the United States.

If we do not act now Christians around the world risk losing control of
and access to the most ancient and holy sites in Christendom. Please
join us in cosponsoring this resolution and working to save the
Palestinian Christian community from devastation.

If you have any questions or would like to become a cosponsor of this
important resolution, please contact Ari Stein in Congressman Michael
McCaul's office at (202) 225 -- 2401 or Gregg Sheiowitz in Congressman
Joe Crowley's office at (202) 225 - 3965.

Sincerely

Pension And Welfare Benefits Administration Releases Field Assistance
Bulletin on "Float" Issues

**Washington, D.C.\--**The U. S. Department of Labor's Pension and
Welfare Benefits Administration today released a Field Assistance
Bulletin (FAB) regarding the compensation earned by service providers
from short-term investments of plan assets, commonly called "float." The
FAB describes the duties of a fiduciary to prudently select and monitor
service providers regarding these earnings, as well as describes the
obligations of service providers to disclose sufficient information to
their employee benefit plan customers to enable plan fiduciaries to make
an informed decision about compensation agreements.

The FAB is part of the department's ongoing compliance assistance
program to help employers, plan officials, service providers and others
comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Field Assistance Bulletins are part of the department's compliance

people\" said the Public Works Director. The city is unique in that it
owns and operates most of its utilities: electric distribution system,
water, sewage, and cable. Due to its extensive responsibilities to its
residents, alternatives to paying the high retail prices to maintain
these services are reviewed. \"We have been able to supplement (our
equipment) with things from surplus property.\" From utility trucks,
generators, vans, forklifts, to bleachers, city officials have found
great value in purchasing surplus equipment. \"I guess it\'s a
convenience that we wouldn\'t normally have,\" describing their
participation in the Surplus Property Program. \"Some equipment would be
real handy and nice, but it\'s just not something you can put out for
bid and buy brand new. It would be hard to justify that kind of expense.
However, when you look at some of the savings on surplus equipment, it
is hard to believe why all towns and cities in West Virginia do not reap
these savings offered through the Surplus Property Program.\"\
\
**Office of Surveillance and Utilization Review**\
\
Through special funding by the State Legislature, the Department was
authorized to create an Office of Surveillance and Utilization Review.
According to the Director, \"The function of this office is to monitor
Medicaid payments made to providers. We ensure that the State is getting
what it is paying for and that the procedures provided are
appropriate.\"\
\
With the approval to hire up to 20 positions, the Director was in a
dilemma to acquire office space and to adequately furnish the space. \"I
had time to order new furniture, but I was aware of the Surplus Property
operation. Timing worked out well for us because when I started looking
at getting office furniture, many other state agencies were receiving
their new furniture and surplus the equipment they already had.\" The
office is now furnished with a variety of surplus furniture, including
chairs, desks, vertical and lateral file cabinets, and computer work
tables. The Director describes the staff of the Surplus Property Program
as \"customer oriented.\" \"The West Virginia State Agency for Surplus
Property people who delivered the equipment has done a real nice job.
They brought the furniture in and set it up for us and did a terrific
job. We\'re very pleased with them. One of the functions of this office
is to see how the State money is being spent. I think that we ought to
be good stewards of the State\'s money in all of our operations.\"

**SBA Deadline To Apply**

**For Economic Injury Disaster Loans Is October 19**

**HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses in the State of West Virginia that Economic Injury
Disaster Loans (EIDLs) are still available to small businesses
economically impacted by the Emmons Jr. apartment building fire on
January 13, 2007.

"Small businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the
disaster and want to apply for\
low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the **October
19** deadline," said Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations
Center East**.**

Small businesses may apply for loans up to \$l.5 million if they
suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,
and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

Small Businesses in Cabell County and contiguous counties of Lincoln,
Mason, Putnam and Wayne in the State of West Virginia and the contiguous
counties of Gallia and Lawrence in the state of Ohio are eligible to
apply.

The interest rate on these loans is 4 percent, with a maximum term of 30
years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury and the terms of
each loan based on the financial circumstances of each borrower.

To obtain a loan application, 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. to 9 p.m.

Figure A-6. SSI Recipients by Age, 1974 -- 1998

![](media/image1.wmf)

Source: Social Security Administration, Office of Research, Evaluation,
and Statistics, (Data available online at
http://www.ssa.gov/statistics/ores_home.html).

The proportion of persons receiving SSI who are 65 years of age or older
(as a percent of all SSI recipients) has decreased steadily from a high
of 61 percent in 1974 to a low of 31 percent in 1998, essentially
cutting the proportion of recipients who are elderly in half. The actual
number who are 65 or older has declined from 2.5 million in 1975 to a
little more than 2 million today, (as shown in Table A-20).

The percentage of child recipients increased two and one half times
during the 1970s, going from 2 percent in 1974 to 5 percent by the end
of the decade. During the 1980s, it remained fairly constant at about 6
percent. In the 1990s, the share of child recipients increased rapidly,
more than doubling to 15 percent in 1997. It declined slightly, to 14
percent, in 1998.

The percentage of persons receiving SSI between the ages of 18 and 64
has increased steadily over time, rising from 38 percent in 1974 to 55
percent in 1998.

**Guidelines for Visiting Artists**

We are pleased that you have chosen Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
as a place of artistic inspiration, and we hope that you will make the
most of this serene, breathtaking setting. As the historic buildings and
grounds have been carefully preserved, please honor the following
guidelines:

-   Please keep all art materials off marble and stone surfaces or other
    surfaces that can be stained. Marble stains very easily, and some
    media cause irreparable damage.

-   Please be aware that you may be asked to move your set-up if it
    interferes with visitor accessibility and enjoyment. Brick steps,
    pathways, doorways entrances and exits must remain clear for other
    visitors to use. If you have any questions about your location,
    please ask a Ranger.

-   Water and paper cups are available in both the parking lot rest area
    and the restroom at the Little Studio. Please do not use the garden
    fountains as a water source. If you use sinks in the bathrooms,
    rinse the sinks with soap and water after disposing of
    ***water-based*** media only. Oil, acrylic and other media residues
    must be packed out with you for cleaning off-site.

-   Figure models must remain draped, as this is a public site and
    nudity may offend some visitors.

-   Leave all benches, chairs plants or displays where they are, and
    refrain from touching sculptures or historic objects.

-   Open art supplies, tripods and easels are prohibited indoors and in
    the atrium.

We hope that by following our guidelines, your visit here at
Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site will inspire you as well as protect
the site for others who come to experience the beauty.

Enhanced Tabletop Exercise, Security Breach, Witness Account Scenario

# Scenario #2

**Background:** It is August in Zenith City, and the hazy heat has left
many residents feeling lethargic. However, the city is hosting its
20^th^ annual fair and many residents are taking advantage of the rides,
exhibits, contests, games, food, and entertainment that it offers. The
national threat level is yellow. The city has recently increased its
visual inspections of the water distribution system's key components
based on both the threat level and the presence of the city's fair,
which draws many non-residents to the city.

**The Event:** On July 27, painting contractors hired by the Zenith City
Water Treatment Plant finish painting the Strawberry Hill Standpipe. One
of the painters takes off his latex gloves and throws them down on the
platform at the top. He changes out of his painter's suit, packs up his
gear, and descends from the top of the tank to catch a ride home with
his workmates, leaving the latex gloves behind.

Early in the morning on August 2, a couple of acrobats performing at the
fair decide to scale the fence at the water supply tank located near the
city fairgrounds. One of the acrobats, dressed in a white outfit, throws
a grappling hook attached to a climber's rope up to the water tank's
ladder. He successfully climbs up to the catwalk platform at the top of
the tank. He then proceeds to pick the tank hatch's locking mechanism.
After successfully breaking open the hatch, he repels down the side of
the tank and flees the site. The perpetrator's acrobat counterpart
videotapes the entire stunt.

Later that morning, a water utility inspector making her rounds notices
that a hatch is open on the top of the Strawberry Hill Standpipe. There
are no other indications of a break-in at the tank. Thinking a fellow
employee must have accidentally left the hatch open, she unlocks both
the perimeter fence and the ladder guard to gain access to the tank.
After climbing the ladder to the top of the tank, she notices a pair of
latex gloves lying to one side of the open hatch, wedged into the
platform grate. Not expecting this, she decides to descend from the tank
to call her utility manager to report what she has found.

**The Results:** The emergency rooms around the city note a rise in
visits from people from all parts of Zenith City who are complaining of
gastrointestinal illness. It is speculated by the media that the
illnesses might be related to the security breach at the water tank. The
true source of the illnesses is foodborne. The concessions at the city
fair were serving improperly preserved food to the fairgoers of Zenith
City.
