RE: The tariff classification of item number 88877, Who's That Girl
Dress Assortment, item number 89615, Who's That Girl Cheerleader Pink
Dress and item number 89616, Who's That Girl Cheerleader Purple Dress,
from China

Dear Ms. Beck:

In your letter dated November 5, 2007, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

Item 88877, Who's That Girl Dress Assortment, is an assortment of three
flimsy costumes, that consists of three textile dresses (Who's That Girl
Pink Ballerina Dress, Who's That Girl Fairy Dress and Who's That Girl
Purple Ballerina Dress) that all have styling features and well-made
embellishments. However, all three costumes have loose overlocked
stitched necks and seams, single straight stitched waists, flimsy thin
elastics, flimsy hook and loop tab closures and multiple loose overlock
stitched edges.

Item 89615, Who's That Girl Cheerleader Pink Dress and Item 89616, Who's
That Girl Cheerleader Purple Dress, are two flimsy textile costumes
comprised of a dress. Although each dress has styling features and
well-made embellishments, the preponderance of their elements (loose
overlock stitched necks and seams, loose single straight stitched
waists, flimsy thin elastics, flimsy hook and loop tab closure and
multiple loose overlock stitched edges) is flimsy.

The applicable subheading for item number 88877, Who's That Girl Dress
Assortment, item number 89615, Who's That Girl Cheerleader Pink Dress
and Item number 89616, Who's That Girl Cheerleader Purple Dress, will be
9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
which provides for "Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles,
including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and
accessories thereof: Other: Other." The rate of duty will be Free.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are
provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

Please note that separate Federal Trade Commission marking requirements
exist regarding country of origin, fiber content, and other information
that must appear on many textile items. You should contact the Federal
Trade Commission, Division of Enforcement, 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C., 20580, for information on the applicability of
these requirements to this item. Information can also be found at the
FTC website www.ftc.gov (click on "For

Business" and then on "Textile, Wool, Fur").

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 Wayne Kessler at 646-733-3026.

**Business Roundtable Applauds Introduction of National Innovation Act**

**Washington, DC --** Business Roundtable President John J. Castellani
today issued the following statement supporting the introduction of the
National Innovation Act of 2005:

"On behalf of Business Roundtable, an association of 160 chief executive
officers of America's leading companies, I applaud Senator Ensign and
Senator Lieberman for their leadership on this critical issue.
Maintaining our competitive edge in today's world economy is a top
priority of the business community, and the National Innovation Act of
2005 is an important step in the right direction.

"These issues are particularly important to Business Roundtable. This
summer, along with 14 of the nation's leading business and technology
associations, we announced the goal of doubling the number of graduates
with degrees in science, technology, engineering and math by 2015. Our
report, titled 'Tapping America's Potential: The Education for
Innovation Initiative,' stressed the importance of a workforce
well-educated in math and science, and identified a plan of action for
maintaining our scientific, technological and innovative leadership in
the world. This goal was echoed in last week's statement from the
National Summit on Competitiveness.

"Other nations are not sitting idle. As our capacity for innovation
begins to atrophy, aspiring scientists and engineers in other countries
are gaining ground. Educating the innovators of tomorrow is paramount to
the continued economic growth of our nation, and legislation such as the
National Innovation Act of 2005 is vital to our momentum toward
solutions for this urgent challenge. We commend the Senators for their
efforts."

\###

*Business Roundtable (www.businessroundtable.org) is an association of
chief executive officers of leading corporations with a combined
workforce of more than 10 million employees and \$4 trillion in annual
revenues. The chief executives are committed to advocating public
policies that foster vigorous economic growth, a dynamic global economy,
and a well-trained and productive U.S. workforce essential for future
competitiveness.*

**[Securing Our Financial Future Requires Difficult Choices
Today]{.underline}**

***"Meeting our long-term fiscal challenge will require reprioritizing,
restructuring and constraining spending programs"***

**\~**David M. Walker, Comptroller General of the United States

Dear Colleague:

American families understand that if you want to spend money on
something new, you have to cut spending somewhere else. American
families prioritize, and they expect the same from their government.
**[Congress has failed at setting Federal spending priorities;
therefore, we ask you to join us as a cosponsor of H. Res. 14: the
Federal Programs Offset Resolution.]{.underline} This legislation would
amend the Rules of the House of Representatives to require that any bill
or joint resolution that creates a new Federal program must contain a
provision that eliminates one or more current Federal programs of equal
or greater cost.**

Our country is at a fiscal crossroads and tough decisions must be made.
Commitment to spending restraint and controlling the size of government
are principles that we, as members of Congress, should embrace. Setting
priorities for Federal spending is extremely difficult and not always
popular, but we were elected to make these tough decisions.

We should refrain from passing any legislation that would create new
Federal programs without providing for direct dollar-for-dollar and
program-for-program offsets. Now, more than ever, the American taxpayers
need our support. Increasing the size of government with new Federal
programs will defeat any effort by Congress to reduce Federal spending.
**We cannot let our grandchildren pay for our fiscal irresponsibility.**

We must work together to reduce domestic spending, reduce the deficit,
and get our fiscal house in order. To cosponsor this important
resolution, or for more information, please contact Kim Crews in
Congressman Conaway's office at 5-3605 or

# [Congressman Flake Introduces Legislation to Reform Ethanol Incentives](http://flake.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=90090)

## Ethanol Incentives Are Distorting Food Prices

**Washington, D.C**. -- Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who
represents Arizona's Sixth District, has introduced legislation to
curtail incentives Congress has created for ethanol production.

            Renewable fuels standards, tax credits for ethanol
producers, and protection from international competition through
prohibitive import tariffs have created an artificial demand for
ethanol.  These incentives have pushed farmers away from food production
and toward fuel production.  Because corn is the primary source for
biofuels, the price of corn has soared dramatically, which has had a
ripple effect in food prices.

            The Remove Incentives to Produce Ethanol Act of 2008 (H.R.
5911) will repeal renewable fuels standards, repeal tax credits for
ethanol producers, and repeal tariffs and duties on importing ethanol.

            **"This is a classic case of the law of unintended
consequences,"** said Flake.  **"Congress surely did not intend to raise
food prices by incentivizing ethanol, but that's precisely what's
happened.  A jump in food prices is the last thing our economy needs
right now."**

**THE TWENTY-SIXTH MEETING OF THE**

**INFORMAL PACIFIC ATC CO-ORDINATING GROUP**

**(IPACG/26)**

(Anchorage, Alaska, USA, May 14-18, 2007)

Agenda Item 06: Air Traffic Management (ATM) Issues

**Report on FAA Central East Pacific Route Analysis**

(Presented by the Federal Aviation Administration)

1.  **Introduction**

    1.  At the request of several airline partners, the FAA, with
        MITRE/CAASD, is conducting an airspace analysis on the fixed
        track network between Hawaii and the Continental US. This track
        network is commonly referred to as the Central East Pacific
        Route System (CEP).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  **Discussion**

    1.  This study will expand on an internal analysis conducted by the
        Oakland Center Traffic Management Unit in 2001 which concluded,
        based on fuel savings information from the FAA DOTS+ (Dynamic
        Oceanic Tracking System Plus), system, that the benefit from
        creating flex tracks in the CEP was minimal. However in 2006,
        research conducted by NASA-Ames indicated that wind-optimized
        routes in the CEP provided significant fuel savings benefits.
        Additionally, limited flight trials of User Preferred Routes,
        (UPR's) during off peak hours conducted by Oakland Center,
        showed significant fuel savings. However questions remain
        regarding the viability of UPR's or Flex Tracks in the CEP due
        to the bi-directional traffic flows.

    2.  Based on user feedback, the 2007 study will focus on three
        options for the airspace:

-   Option 1: Flex CEP tracks with same entry/exit fixes

-   Option 2: UPRs above a specified altitude (e.g., FL390)

-   Option 3: Flex tracks with reduced restrictions

    1.  These options will be analyzed in sequence beginning with
        option 1. The analysis will consider potential fuel savings and
        potential disbenefits associated with traffic volume and
        complexity.

    2.  Target date for completion of the analysis is Fall 2007.

3.  **Recommendation**

    1.  The meeting is invited to note the information provided in this
        paper.

\- END -
**§40.327 09/01**

**QUESTION:**

If an MRO knows the identity of a physician responsible for determining
whether a DOT-regulated employee is physically qualified to perform
safety-sensitive duties (e.g., under Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration regulations for physical qualifications of motor carrier
drivers) for another company, can the MRO report drug test result as
well as medical information to that physician?

**ANSWER**:

> • Under §40.327(a), an MRO must report drug test results and medical
> information to third parties without the employee's consent, under
> certain circumstances spelled out in the rule.
>
> • Under §40.327(b), a physician responsible for determining the
> medical qualifications of an employee under an applicable DOT agency
> safety regulation is a party to whom the MRO is instructed to provide
> this information.
>
> • Consequently, if an MRO knows the identity of such a physician --
> even if the physician performs this function for a different employer
> -- the MRO would provide the information. The MRO is not required to
> affirmatively seek out such physicians, however.

**Project Abstract:**

The Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living
(DAIL) requests an eighteen month \$500,000 grant to develop a
comprehensive nursing home diversion program targeting individuals age
60 and over who currently are clinically-eligible for the
Medicaid-funded Choices for Care program but do not yet meet the
Medicaid long-term care financial eligibility criteria. Caregivers of
the target population will also be served. The goals of this initiative
are to build upon the new provisions within the Older Americans Act,
supporting Area Agencies on Aging, in partnership with DAIL, to build
consumer-directed flexible supports that enable Vermonters to live
independently in the community and avoid unnecessary nursing home
placement.

Project objectives are to: (1) develop a non-Medicaid Flexible Choices
PLUS cash and counseling program administered through selected Area
Agencies on Aging; (2) develop targeting criteria to ensure services are
available to those individuals most at-risk of Medicaid spend-down; (3)
expand existing support brokerage functions used for the current
Flexible Choices option; (4) expand/modify the role of current AAA staff
to perform options counseling for the targeted population; (5) develop a
comprehensive options counseling curriculum based upon the work
completed by the National Association of State Units on Aging and the
Independent Living Resource Utilization to facilitate the development of
an interactive and informed decision making process; and (6) develop a
training program on consumer self-directed care to support AAA and other
aging network staff to translate into practice and service delivery the
new language in the Older Americans Act regarding "self-directed care".

Project outcomes are to: (1) establish an effective and sustainable
nursing home diversion program that can be expanded statewide; (2)
transform and modernize funding to support flexible, consumer-directed
services; (3) strengthen the capacity of the state to reach older adults
before they enter a nursing home, supporting choice in long-term care
options and self-directed care.

**COSPONSOR H.R. 434 TO REPEAL**

**DOUBLE TAXATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS**

January 30, 2003

Dear Colleague:

Please join me as a cosponsor of H.R. 434 that would repeal the taxes,
imposed in 1993 by Bill Clinton and the Democrat Congress, upon Social
Security benefits. Last year, as H.R. 122, this bill had 163 cosponsors.

This "Clinton Tax" was a huge tax increase on senior citizens. Until
1993, only half of Social Security benefits were subjected to income
taxes. That first tier of taxes on 50% of benefits could be justified by
arguing that the employer's share of payments into Social Security were
never subject to individual income taxes during the employee's working
career. The second tier of tax, on up to 85% of benefits, is **double
taxation of this Social Security income.**

+------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| [Income Level]{.smallcaps}         | [Tax Status]{.smallcaps}        |
+------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Less than \$32,000 married         | Benefits not taxable            |
|                                    |                                 |

| (\$25,000 / \$34,000)              |                                 |
+------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Greater than \$44,000              | 85% of benefits taxable         |

+------------------------------------+---------------------------------+

The income threshold for this tax has not been raised since 1993. When
this new tax was imposed in 1993, the revenue generated was directed to
the Medicare Trust Fund and H.R. 434 would replace this revenue stream
with general funds.

For additional questions or to cosponsor H.R. 434, contact Kathleen
Black at 5-4201.

**DRAFT**

**PRELIMINARY VIEWS ON WRC-03**

**WRC-2000 Agenda Item 1.33:** to review and revise technical,
operational and regulatory provisions, including provisional limits in
relation to the operation of high altitude platform stations within
IMT-2000 in the bands referred to in No. S5.388A, in response to
Resolution 221 (WRC-2000);

**ISSUE:** Resolution 221 asks for additional technical, operational and
regulatory studies to be conducted in order to review and, if necessary,
revise the provisional pfd limits. Resolution 221 also asks for
consideration of appropriate regulatory and technical provisions to
allow bilateral coordination of HAPS in IMT-2000 systems with affected
neighboring administrations.

**BACKGROUND:** In footnote S5.388A, WRC-2000 authorized the use of HAPS
as base stations to provide International Mobile Telecommunications-2000
(IMT-2000), in accordance with Resolution 221. In Regions 1 and 3, the
bands 1 885-1 980 MHz, 2 010-2 025 MHz and 2 110-2 170 MHz and, in
Region 2, the bands 1 885-1 980 and 2 110-2 160 MHz may be used by high
altitude platform stations. The use of HAPS as base stations within the
terrestrial component of IMT-2000 is optional for administrations and
does not preclude the use of these bands by any station in the services
to which they are allocated and does not establish priority in the Radio
Regulations. Resolution 221 from WRC-2000 resolves that HAPS shall not
exceed provisional co-channel power flux-density limits to protect
IMT-2000 stations in neighboring countries and out-of-band power
flux-density limits to protect fixed stations. Canada is currently
conducting a study to determine the compatibility of HAPS within
IMT-2000 with MMDS in the 2150-2160 MHz band in Region 2. Therefore, the
impact of the provisional limits on the operation of MMDS systems is not
clear at this time.

**PRELIMINARY VIEW:**

Depending upon the results of the ITU-R studies, new procedures and/or
revisions to the provisional PFD limits may need to be incorporated in
the Radio Regulations to allow for the coordination, with neighboring
Administrations, of a HAPS platform operating as a base station. (April

Pixel Support Tube Design Assumptions

Interface to Access, Installation and Beam Pipe

Version 1.1

Last Update: April 4, 2001

1\. Baseline for the complete pixel detector installation is a \"long
shut

down configuration\".

2\. In-pit installation and removal of the B-layer without breaking beam

vacuum is required.

3.1 The \"standard\" installation and removal of the B-layer is to be
done

in a \"long access configuration\". Pixel group(Anderssen) to provide

TC(Nyman) 3D envelopes(pixel parts, tooling etc) to establish access

requirements.

3.2 Exceptional installation and removal of the B-layer is to be

possible in a \"short access configuration. Pixel group(Anderssen) to

provide to TC(Nyman) 3D envelopes(pixel parts, tooling, etc) to

establish access requirements. The pixel team will assume this
requirement rather than the less demanding 3.1.

4\. Design by pixel group will assume beam pipe bakeout can be done with
the B-layer in place. . TC to confirm viability with beam pipe group.

5\. Support tube to be designed to support beam pipe such that the beam

pipe+complete pixel system shall be inserted as a \"package\" after
assembly

on the surface. Pixel group(Anderssen/Hartman) to provide to TC(Nyman)

envelop dimensions of the \"package\", TC to verify crane access,
movement

of \"package\" to end of ID is possible and compatibility with SR
building

6\. Design of beam pipe supports under the assumption (5) will be done

assuming lateral(X or Y) adjustment of the beam pipe is required up to
the clearance between the beam pipe and the B-layer(9mm) after

installation into the ID. Adjustment to be possible during \"short
access scenario\".TC to confirm this critical requirement.

7\. Interfaces between the beam pipe(VI) and the support tube to be
defined

by pixel group(Anderssen et al), beam pipe group(Veness et al) and
TC(TBD

et al), appropriately documented and put under change control.

8\. Delivery of \"package\" is to be planned for completion to meet

installation schedule in 2005. More detailed installation/checkout

schedule/scenario to be developed by pixel group. Since schedule is
tight

in 2005, TC to \"reserve slot\" for installation of \"package\" in 2006

shutdown. Temporary beam pipe to be available in case pixel system not

ready in 2005 or if concerns about initial beam backgrounds indicate
pixel

system(or b-layer) should not be installed.

9\. Support tube is connected to the SCT barrel interlink structure. ID
and pixel team to agree on interface drawings and specifications.

10\. Assuming point(5), additional(removable) beam pipe supports are
desirable beyond the baseline of three. Location and nature to be
determined as in point(7).

# Rural Utilities Service

# Success Stories: Rural Development Helps Clean Up Tillamook Bay

#  Garibaldi, Oregon 

# ![](media/image1.png)

# 

# 

**Outline of Need:** The City of Garibaldi, Oregon, is in violation of
the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) standards concerning
overflow into School Creek, inadequate hydraulic capacity of the
Treatment Plant, deficiencies associated with the Treatment Plant
outfall location, and compliance with sludge management requirements.

**How Rural Development Helped:** Rural Utilities Service is providing
\$1,494,900 in loan funds and \$1,400,000 in grant funds for this
project. The proposed project includes replacement or upgrading of two
pump stations including a new 8-inch forcemain, upgrading/replacing
exiting treatment plant to a sequencing batch reactor, extending
existing outfall pipeline from the treatment plant further into
Tillamook Bay, and placing a difusser on the outlet of the outfall
pipeline. These proposed improvements would meet the needs of the City
and the requirements of regulatory agencies.

**The Results:** The improvements to the collection system and treatment
plant system will provide safeguards and enhance monitoring to
substantially reduce the organic content of wastewater that degrades or
diminishes the Tillamook Bay's ability to support aquatic life. Chlorine
concentrations in the effluent will be eliminated, thereby removing
potential toxicity to organisms in the Bay. Water quality in Tillamook
Bay will improve as a result of this project, and, as an additional
benefit, improved water quality in the Bay should improve Oregon Coast
coho salmon, Oregon Coast steelhead, and Coastal cutthroat trout runs in
the Miami, Trask, and Wilson Rivers.
