**A method to identify mass spectra of proteins containing
post-translational modifications**

Proteins are complex substances consisting of amino acid residues, and
essential biological compounds. After proteins are decoded from DNA and
synthesized by the ribosome, chemical modifications known as
post-translational modifications (PTMs) often occur. These modifications
change the structure and function of proteins, and are therefore
important to study and understand. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) has
become the major tool in the identification of proteins, and
consequently in the search for PTMs. In MS/MS, peptides are broken into
mainly b-ions and y-ions, and the masses and intensities of these
resulting ions can be used to reconstruct the original peptide.
Currently, the most popular method of identifying known PTMs is to use a
database search algorithm such as Sequest, which compares theoretical
mass spectra created from a database to the experimental mass spectra
data. However, searching for possible PTMs greatly increases
computational expense, which is especially unnecessary for spectra which
do not contain PTMs. A method to identify the mass spectra that are most
likely to contain PTMs could be useful in improving PTM searching
capabilities. PTM-filter is a program that quickly scans mass spectra
for possible signs of modified proteins. The recently developed
Probability Profile Method (PPM) is used to reliably identify b-ions and
y-ions in the mass spectrum. PTM-filter performs a de novo search for
any of these ions that are separated by the mass of modified amino
acids, and then reports whether the spectrum is a possible candidate for
further PTM analysis. The filter can be adjusted to minimize either
\"false negatives\" or \"false positives\" among the reported spectra.
This filter will allow later PTM searches to be focused only on the mass
spectra most likely to contain PTM information, helping to streamline
the entire PTM search process.

Sustainable rural development has become one of the main pillars of the
Common Agricultural Policy in Europe. This creates new demands to the
statistical system on agriculture and, in particular, new needs of
further information on farms' economic results and on rural families
incomes.

This paper deals with an assessment of statistical relationship among
variables related to farms multifunctionality, farms economic
performance and households off-farms incomes. The analysis is performed
on micro-data gathered in Italy by the 2000 Farm Structural Survey and
by the Farms' Economic Results survey. The latter is a sample survey on
farms, Italian NSI has been carried out since 1998. The results of the
statistical analysis are discussed in order to point out the strengths
and weakness of the Italian approach implementing an integrated system
of economic statistics applied to the agriculture sector.

Thermographic Anomalies of Cave or Lava Tube Entrances from a Raised
Platform**.

Thermography of cave and lava tube openings is in its infancy. NASA and
cavers have come together in the study utilizing infrared thermograms to
locate caves and lava tubes.

Research to determine which conditions and times are the best for
subterranean entrance detection by use of infrared thermography and
other detection methods is ongoing.

A comparison of timed thermographic images in the infrared band of cave
and lava tube entrances for NASA's Spaceward Bound program have resulted
in answers, as well as more questions, concerning this state of the art
method of locating cave and lava tubes on Earth and possibly other
planets.

Timed thermographic images of Cavernas de Quitor and other caves in the
Atacama Desert, Chile caves are compared with Mojave Desert Lava tubes;
Pisgah and Cima, as part of an ongoing NASA project to develop protocols
to locate caves and lava tubes by their thermographic images.

Research methods include analysis of thermographic images taken every
ten minutes over a twenty-four hour period of the Cima lava fields in
the Mojave Desert of California.

By utilizing a hot air balloon as an airborne platform a study is being
conducted to determine the best times and heights to obtain signatures
of cave and lava tube openings.

A number of factors are entered in and examined: Time of day, ambient
temperature, height, dew point, distance, specific humidity, platform,
as well as wind velocity and atmospheric gases.

More NASA research is currently underway and cavers are starting to use
building inspection infrared cameras in local areas to try to locate
caves on their own.

**Claims for Damage to or Loss of Government Property**

**§14.618 Collection action.**

\(a\) In a case where the Regional Counsel determines that damage to or
loss of Government property under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Veterans Affairs resulted from the negligence or other legal wrong of a
person other than an employee of the United States, while acting within
the scope of his or her employment, the Regional Counsel will request
payment in full of the amount of damage from the person liable therefor
or such person's insurer.

\(b\) The Regional Counsel may collect, compromise, suspend, or
terminate collection action on any such claim as is authorized under
§2.6(e)(4)(ii) of this chapter, in conformity with the standards in
§1.900 series of this chapter. Any such claim that has not been
collected in full and which has not been compromised, suspended or
terminated and does not exceed \$100,000, will be referred by the
Regional Counsel to the appropriate U.S. attorney along with the
information required by §§1.951 through 1.953 of this chapter. Any claim
in excess of \$100,000 for which payment in full has not been made, will
be transmitted along with the report required by §14.601(a)(2)(i), a
report on credit data (§1.952 of this chapter), and any other pertinent
information, to the General Counsel for appropriate action.

\(c\) The General Counsel or those designated in §2.6(e)(4) of this
chapter will take action to collect in full on such claims and to
compromise, suspend, or terminate any such claims not exceeding
\$100,000 in conformity with §1.900 series of this chapter. Any such
claims not compromised, or on which collection actions is not suspended
or terminated and does not exceed \$100,000, will be referred to the
appropriate U.S. Attorney. Any such claims in excess of \$100,000, which
have not been collected in full, will be referred by the General Counsel
to the Department of Justice for appropriate action.

\(d\) The provisions of paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section are
not applicable to the collection of claims involving damage to General
Services Administration Motor Pool System vehicles issued for Department
of Veterans Affairs use. Whenever there is any indication that a party
other than the operator of a motor pool system vehicle is at fault in an
accident, all documents and data pertaining to the accident and its
investigation will be submitted to the General Services Administration
Regional Counsel of the region that issued the vehicle who has
jurisdiction over such matters. Whenever a motor pool system vehicle is
involved in an accident, resulting in damage to the property of, or
injury to the person of a third party, and the third party asserts a
claim against the Department of Veterans Affairs based upon the alleged
negligence of the vehicle operator, the claim will be considered under
§14.600, *et seq.*

# MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

**Adopted: February 1, 2001 Released: February 12, 2001**

By the Commission:

1.  The Commission has before it an Application for Review filed on
    December 20, 1999 by Morris Communications, Inc. (Morris).[^1]
    Morris seeks review of a decision by the Commercial Wireless
    Division (Division) of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau,
    denying its petition for reconsideration of a decision granting a
    partial award of a finder's preference for frequencies 856-860.1125
    MHz to Richard Duncan d/b/a Anderson Communications.[^2]

2.  Morris presents no new arguments in its Application for Review, and
    we see nothing in the arguments Morris has made that would lead us
    to change the Division decision. Morris restates its argument that
    it relied on the Commission's renewal of the station license for all
    ten channels, including the five channels, 856-860.1125 MHz, to
    construct and place these five channels into operation within one
    year from the date the station license was renewed.[^3] However, the
    license renewal had a special condition that each channel renewed
    must have been constructed by February 2, 1990 in accordance with
    section 90.631(f) of the Commission's rules.[^4] Morris, by its own
    admission, did not construct the five channels in question until
    October 1994.[^5] The fact that these channels were constructed
    after the station's license was renewed does not cure the violation
    of section 90.631(f) of the Commission's rules. The license for
    channels 856-860.1125 automatically cancelled on February 2, 1990.
    We therefore affirm the Division's decision for the reasons stated
    therein.

3.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 5(c)(5) of the
    Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 155(c)(5), and
    section 1.115(g) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(g),
    the Application for Review filed by Morris on December 20, 1999 in
    the above-captioned proceeding IS DENIED.

**Standards for Suspending or Terminating Collection**

**Source**: Sections 1.940 to 1.943 appear at 32 FR 2615,

Feb. 8, 1967, unless otherwise noted.

**§1.940 Scope and application.**

\(a\) The standards set forth in §§1.940 through 1.944 apply to the
suspension or termination of collection activity pursuant to 31 U.S.C.
3711 on debts that do not exceed \$100,000, or such other amount as the
Attorney General may direct, exclusive of interest, penalties, and
administrative costs, after deducting the amount of partial payments or
collections, if any. Prior to referring a debt to the Department of
Justice (DOJ) for litigation, VA may suspend or terminate collection
under this part with respect to the debt.

\(b\) If, after deducting the amount of any partial payments or
collections, the principal amount of a debt exceeds \$100,000, or such
other amount as the Attorney General may direct, exclusive of interest,
penalties, and administrative costs, the authority to suspend or
terminate rests solely with DOJ. If VA believes that suspension or
termination of any debt in excess of \$100,000 may be appropriate, it
shall refer the debt to the Civil Division or other appropriate division
in DOJ, using the Claims Collection Litigation Report (CCLR). The
referral should specify the reasons for VA's recommendation. If, prior
to referral to DOJ, VA determines that a debt is plainly erroneous or
clearly without legal merit, VA may terminate collection activity
regardless of the amount involved without obtaining DOJ concurrence.
(Authority: 31 U.S.C. 3711; 38 U.S.C. 501).

By the Deputy Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless
Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

1\. By this Order, we dismiss as moot the requests for a fee waiver
filed respectively by George L. Fetrow and Gary Dykhouse (Petitioners)
on December 15, 1998 in connection with waiver petitions. Section 1.1102
of the Commission\'s rules requires waiver petitions to be accompanied
by a \$105 fee for each rule section that the petitioner seeks to waive,
multiplied by the number of stations to which the petition applies.[^1]
Our records indicate that all other waiver petitions filed by
Petitioners have been denied.[^2] Accordingly, we dismiss their
respective fee waiver requests as moot.

Subject: FOIA Appeal: Segregable Facts

August 26, 1992

John P. Campbell, Esq.

Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle

1735 I Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20006

Dear Mr. Campbell:

This is in response to your Freedom of Information Act

(FOIA) appeal dated August 19, 1991. You appeal the July 19,

1991 denial by Gail L. Lively, former Director, Executive

Secretariat, who withheld intra-agency documents under

Exemption 5 of the FOIA.

I have determined to affirm, in part, and reverse, in part,

the initial denial.

The withheld documents consist of: (1) an April 23, 1991

memorandum from Anthony M. Villane, Jr., Regional Administrator,

New York Regional Office, to Anna Kondratas, Assistant Secretary

for Community Planning and Development; (2) a June 24, 1991

memorandum from Paul Bardack, Acting Assistant Secretary for

Community Planning and Development, to Anthony M. Villane, Jr.;

\(3\) deliberative notations contained on routing and transmittal

slips dated September 17, 1987 and December 7, 1988; and (4)

notations contained on an October 5 \"memorandum of call.\"

Exemption 5 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. Section 552(b)(5), exempts

from mandatory disclosure \"inter-agency or intra-agency memoranda

or letters which would not be available by law to a party other

than an agency in litigation with the agency.\" A document can

qualify for exemption from disclosure under the deliberative

process privilege of Exemption 5 when it is predecisional, i.e.,

\"antecedent to the adoption of an agency policy.\" Jordan v.

Department of Justice, 591 F.2d 753, 774 (D.C. Cir. 1978) (en

banc), and deliberative, i.e., \"a direct part of the deliberative

process in that it makes recommendations or express opinions on

legal or policy matters.\" Vaughn v. Rosen, 523 F.2d 1136, 1143-

44 (D.C. Cir. 1975).

The withheld documents contain predecisional opinion and

analysis, and therefore, qualify for exemption from disclosure

under the deliberative process privilege of Exemption 5. Thus, I

have determined to affirm the initial denial of these documents.

However, Exemption 5 does not apply to segregable factual

portions of deliberative documents, EPA v. Mink, 410 U.S. 73, 87-

88 (1973). Therefore, I have determined that the first two pages

and part of page three of the April 23, 1991 memorandum are

segregable facts which can be disclosed under the FOIA. I am

releasing this information to you.

Pursuant to HUD\'s regulations at 24 C.F.R. Section 15.21, I

have determined that the public interest in preserving free and

frank opinions, advice and recommendations within the Government

militates against the release of the withheld information.

Please be advised that you have the right to judicial review

of this determination under 5 U.S.C. Section 552(a)(4).

Very sincerely yours,

George Weidenfeller

Deputy General Counsel (Operations)

Hi Alex:

This letter is in regards to the Proposed Rule published in the Federal
Register on November 7, 2008 concerning the importation of longan from
Taiwan. The Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers Association asked that I
review the longan proposal and particularly comment on the condition
prohibiting the importation into or distribution of fruit in the State
of Florida. It is proposed that Taiwan longan would be prohibited entry
into Florida due to the risk of introducing the litchi rust mite,
*Aceria litchi* (Keiffer) (Acari: Eriophyidae). Naturally, Hawaii
farmers would like a similar statement for the State of Hawaii since we
are producers of longan and would like to avoid any possibility of the
introduction of new arthropod or disease pests. However, the litchi rust
mite is established and thriving on litchi in Hawaii and therefore not
an actionable pest for the state.

The premise is that longan is a host for litchi rust mite, and because
this mite is difficult to detect during routine inspection, the mite
might inadvertently be introduced. [Actually, litchi rust mite only
attacks litchi (syn. lychee) and is not a pest of longan at
all.]{.underline} Two other eriophyid mites, *Aceria longana* and
*Aceria dimocarpi*, are known to attack longan and show similar symptoms
(erinea, plant stunting, malformation of infested plant parts, etc.) to
litchi rust mite. Hence, litchi rust mite should not be used to limit
exports of longan anywhere. I know first hand about litchi rust mite as
the litchi trees on my farm are all infested and symptomatic, whereas my
longan trees grown intermixed show no signs of infestation and never
have. The best reference on the subject is:

Waite, GK, Hwang, JS. 2002. Pest of litchi and longan. pp. 331-359, *In*

**Comments on EPA's Draft Staff Paper for Ozone**[^1]

The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) is pleased to have the
opportunity to comment on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA's) Draft Staff Paper for Ozone. AF&PA, the trade association and
leading voice for the forest products industry, represents over 200
companies and related associations and accounts for approximately seven
percent of total U.S. manufacturing output, employs 1.1 million people,
and ranks among the top ten manufacturing employers in 42 states. Our
members have a significant interest in the review of the ozone (or O~3~)
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as the final standards
will have a significant effect on hundreds of facilities operated by our
industry.

EPA\'s conclusions in the Staff Paper are based primarily on
epidemiological studies that indicate a relationship between elevated
ozone exposure and premature mortality.  However, ozone controlled human
exposure and toxicology studies show no such relationship and directly
contradict the epidemiology studies.  Furthermore, the Children\'s
Health Study recently concluded that there was no evidence that ozone
exposure was associated with decreased lung function in children
exercising outdoors.  The conclusions EPA draws - based on
epidemiological data - appear faulty and need to be reconsidered.
Consequently, we recommend that human exposure studies, which provide a
better understanding of ozone effects on humans, be used as the primary
source for analysis and conclusions.

As noted in our comments of November 2005, human clinical study results
must be reconciled with the results of epidemiological studies. Current
epidemiological studies are not reliable and should not be used as a
basis for risk assessment. Before using such studies for risk
assessment, research is needed that considers more biologically complex
and nonlinear concentration-response relationships.

Finally, EPA's draft ozone risk assessment does not include newer
response modeling data published after 1996. EPA needs to update its
ten-year old ozone exposure-response relationships to include newer data
suggesting that exposure response relationships are nonlinear.

AF&PA endorses the comments submitted by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) and concurs with the points raised in API's comments
concerning the use of epidemiological data.

In closing, we urge EPA to include newer, more relevant data in its
assessments and develop recommendations based on a balanced review of
this updated data. If you have questions on these comments, please do
not hesitate to contact me at 202-463-2588.

Using the Folder and the materials:

The materials within the folder are provided through the generosity of
Sun Earth Connections Missions. It is important that the missions
provide their interrelated story for educators so that the science can
be accurately interpreted for use in the classroom. The folder and its
contents are provided for educators to use in their classrooms and the
NASA network, colleges and universities for workshops that provide
content of the Sun.

A bulletin board design:

**Folder** is the banner. (A larger banner is available as an on-line
download). The inside images of the eclipse should be removed and placed
on the bulletin board providing images of a total solar eclipse from
start to finish. The **Theme Poster** provides information about
eclipses. Using sentence strips write some of the facts on the strips
(or have the students write the facts) and place them on the bulletin
board.

-   Make copies of the back of the poster- one for each pair of students
    or each group of 4.

-   Have the students generate facts about eclipses from the information
    provided.

-   Students write the facts on sentence strips for the bulletin board.

-   Each group should share the facts with their classmates before they
    are placed on the bulletin board.

-   Include the book marks, fact sheet and litho to point to 4 of the
    Sun-Earth Connection Missions.

**COMMISSIONER COPPS STATEMENT ON ALTERATION OF GE-SES MERGER APPROVAL**

I am troubled by today's approval of a substantial increase in foreign
ownership in the GE/SES merger without public notice and without seeking
comment, as I believe we are required to do under the Communications
Act. The Agency performed its public interest responsibilities for this
merger and explicitly allowed 29% equity indirect foreign ownership. The
parties now, after approval, tell us that they mistakenly failed to
reveal an additional 22% foreign equity ownership and would like
explicit approval of this additional foreign ownership. This means that
we are now dealing with a merger that requires us to explicitly approve
approximately 50% equity and 63% voting foreign ownership.

Section 309 of the Communications Act requires us to issue a public
notice and allow thirty days for public comment for any "substantial
amendment" to an application. Today's action seems to be based on the
belief that nearly doubling the foreign ownership is "minor," and that
the Agency can therefore approve it without notice or the opportunity
for public participation. I believe that the statute requires the
opportunity for public notice in this instance.

Observation of a low-lying Neutron Unbound State in 25F

[A. R. Smith]{.underline}^1^[,]{.underline} M. S. Kasperczyk^1^, N. H.
Frank\*^1^, MONA COLLABORATION, Physics Department, Illinois Wesleyan
University^1^, 1312 Park St., Bloomington, IL 61701, <nfrank@iwu.edu>

A neutron unbound state from ^25^F has been observed for the first time.
Prior experimental data on neutron-rich fluorine isotopes indicate
differences for bound excited states as compared to nuclear shell model
predictions. The ^25^F isotopes were produced by one-proton removal from
an 86 MeV/u 26Ne beam on a Beryllium target at the fast-fragmentation
radioactive beam facility of the National Superconducting Cyclotron
Laboratory at Michigan State University. The subsequent decay of the
^25^F isotopes resulted in ^24^F and neutrons which were detected in
coincidence. The charged particles were bent away from the neutrons with
a superconducting magnet and analyzed in a suite of charged particle
detectors. The neutrons were detected in the Modular Neutron Array
(MoNA). The properties of the charged particles and neutrons were used
to reconstruct a decay energy spectrum for ^25^F which was compared to
simulations. Preliminary results indicating a resonant state at
approximately 30 keV will be discussed.
