## **LINDA FITCH NAMED 2005 NEBRASKA SITE MANAGER OF THE YEAR**

## 

##  **O'Neill, Neb. May 18, 2006** -- United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Nebraska State Director Scot Blehm presented Linda Fitch with an award today for being selected as the 2005 Nebraska Site Manager of the Year for Housing for the Elderly. Fitch, executive director for North Park Homes in O'Neill for over 25 years, received the award for her excellence in management, commitment to service, apartment maintenance and her diligence in building caring relationships with her tenants.

##  "Site Manager of the Year awards are a means for USDA Rural Development to recognize and reward managers who show dedication and commitment not only to the management of the complexes but more importantly to the tenants who occupy them," said Blehm. "Managers, like Linda Fitch assist us in accomplishing our mission of providing safe and affordable housing to rural Nebraskans."

During her time as manager, North Park Homes experienced very few
vacancies. Fitch's dedication to the tenants and the complex are visible
by visiting the complex and by looking in the eyes of its' tenants and
hearing their comments when speaking of their friend. Fitch is well
known in the rural community of approximately 3,700 for her quality
managerial role. She has a high expertise in financial management
reflected in the complex's financial records.

"Linda takes the time to really know her tenants. She's familiar with
their families, birthdays, hobbies and interests and also lends an ear
to their hurts and needs," said Dixie Lederer, multi family housing
specialist for USDA Rural Development. "Linda is all one would want in a
manager if you were to relocate a family member from their home of many
years to apartment living."

##  USDA Rural Development accepted nominations from its field staff for managers of USDA Rural Development rural rental housing complexes. Nominations were based on tenant satisfaction, property curbside appeal, accurate and complete record keeping and consistent performance of actions above and beyond the call of duty. The O'Neill Housing Authority Board joined USDA Rural Development in the nomination of Fitch.

**Release Number:** 07-558, NC 10731 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**North and South Carolina Small Businesses**

**Have until August 17 To Apply For SBA Disaster Loans**

**COLUMBUS N.C. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses in North and South Carolina that Economic Injury
Disaster Loans (EIDLs) are still available to small businesses
economically impacted by the severe storms and tornadoes of November 15
-- 17, 2006.

"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 **August
17** 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 the counties of Columbus, Bladen, Brunswick, Pender
and Robeson in the State of North Carolina and the counties of Dillon
and Horry in the State of South Carolina 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.
and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT. Business disaster loan
applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[*www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance*](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).

Email: nprm@ttb.gov

Dear Sir,

**Notice no.41 -- Labelling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled Spirits
and Malt Beverages**

New Zealand Winegrowers would like to make the following submission in
respect of the above notice.

New Zealand Winegrowers (NZW) is the organisation that researches,
promotes and represents the interests of New Zealand grape growers and
wine makers. NZW was established in 2002 as a joint venture between the
New Zealand Grape Growers Council Inc. and the Wine Institute of New
Zealand Inc. NZW is recognised by the New Zealand Government as the
principal wine industry organisation. Every grape grower and winemaker
in New Zealand is a member of our organisation. We currently have 651
grower members and 523 winery members.

We do not intend to respond to each of the questions presented in the
Request for Public Comment. However, we note that the submission of the
Winemakers Federation of Australia sets out the legal position in
Australia in relation to the matters for comment. The legal position in
New Zealand is identical to that of Australia, because both countries
share the same the food labelling regulations. We join with the
Winemakers Federation of Australia in encouraging the harmonization or
mutual acceptance of regulations to facilitate international trade in
wine.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this rule-making. If you
have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the writer
on +64 9 916 1561 or <john@wine.org.nz>.

Yours faithfully

RE: OPPOSITION TO RECONSIDERATION OF THE REPORTED ORDER ON VIDEO

DESCRIPTION DOCKET NO. 99‑339

First of all, I would like to thank the FCC for its original ruling

requiring broadcasters to provide descriptive video for several program

hours. Without such description, as a blind person, I find it difficult
to

impossible to follow the action when listening to programs.

I strongly oppose the petitioners request for the FCC to reconsider its

original ruling. The petitioners have not provided any information that
was

not available at the time of the ruling.

Broadcasters have provided closed caption viewing for many years as well
as

second language broadcasts through the secondary audio program. It is
long

past the time a similar service, descriptive video, should be available
to

the visually impaired.

Sincerely,

Doris Fisher

**McMorris Reacts to Administration's Budget Proposal**

**Washington, D.C.** -- Congresswoman Cathy McMorris (WA-05) today
approved of President Bush's efforts in the Fiscal Year 2007 Budget
Proposal to reduce our deficit and practice fiscal responsibility, but
vowed to fight the Administration on any proposals that would increase
energy rates for Northwest ratepayers.

"One of my top priorities is to provide economic growth for Eastern
Washington, yet this cannot happen if BPA is forced to increase our
energy rates," said McMorris. "I am confident that once again the
Northwest Congressional delegation will join together to successfully
oppose any increases in our region's power rates. I will continue to
impress upon the House Budget Committee and the Administration that our
energy rates are not artificially low and that our economy is dependent
on inexpensive hydropower from our dams and rivers."

McMorris worked last year to successfully eliminate from the budget a
proposal that would have required Bonneville to sell power at
market-based rates, rather than at cost. The proposal would have cost
the Northwest \$480 million next year and \$250 billion over three
years.

"This budget does however represent a good starting point for restoring
fiscal responsibility. We must get our spending under control and make
sure that we are spending tax payer dollars wisely. Every dollar we
spend on an inefficient government program is one dollar that can't be
spent on help those who need it the most."

"I was also pleased to see the President's budget include support for
programs that will encourage economic growth and job creation in Eastern
Washington. Reducing health care costs and improving access through
health information technology, promoting the development of renewable
energy technology, and strengthening our competitiveness in the global
economy are all policies that will have a positive impact on our
economy."

Several key features of EIA's storage survey include:

Unlike the AGA survey, EIA's survey is mandatory as a requirement for
statistical validity;

The weekly EIA survey is based on a sample of 45 companies. This is
unlike the monthly survey, which goes to all companies;

For the weekly, EIA surveys on a company/region basis; this is unlike
the EIA monthly approach, which is on a facility basis.

EIA collects the working gas volume for the present week, and if changes
to prior data are warranted, the respondent supplies that information
also.

Slide 9

![](media/image3.wmf)

The weekly storage survey has enjoyed excellent response rates so far --
the lowest level was 93%

Even with good response, this survey was affected by difficulties that
are typical of a new survey. Resolution of those issues led to a number
of revisions.

Let's turn to causes of revisions.

Slide 10

![](media/image3.wmf)

As many know, there were several revisions in the first weeks after EIA
launched the survey. We have tried to inform our customers regarding the
occurrence and causes leading to the revisions. However, the survey is
conducted on a confidential basis, which limits the amount of
information that may be released.

The first 3 causes are frequently encountered when starting a new
survey.

Slide 11

![](media/image3.wmf)

This slide shows the application of the estimation parameters. As you
can see, a primary component to our estimations involve monthly reports
of working gas for companies in a region.

The estimation ratio is based on our monthly report for a selected
reference. As the reference month is updated, the ratio can shift.

An update to the ratio may change the estimate for the prior week.

Key points about the ratio:

It is not designed to calibrate the weekly to the monthly survey owing
to the time lag;

One cannot reliably anticipate the need for a revision or the sign of a
potential revision.

Slide 12

![](media/image3.wmf)

This slide shows the differences between the EIA monthly and weekly
series relative to the AGA series.

Although the EIA weekly series initially was close to the AGA series, it
differed from the EIA monthly.

After adjustments to both the weekly and monthly series, they seem more
consistent.

So the adjustments to the weekly series seem to have improved its
accuracy.

Slide 13

![](media/image4.wmf)

We feel that we've turned the corner on our startup problems.

There were five revisions in the first 10 weeks of the survey.

EIA believes it is making progress on eliminating revisions: There has
been only one revision in the following 11 weeks.

**Water-Quality Monitoring of Chemicals Used to Combat West Nile Virus**

By Stephen A. Terracciano,

U.S. Geological Survey, Coram NY

West Nile Virus, a mosquito-borne disease, was first detected in the
United States in 1999 in New York City. Since then, air and ground
spraying of insecticides and insecticide briquettes have been used
throughout neighborhoods in the New York metropolitan area to reduce
mosquito populations and thus the risk of human illness. This project
was initiated to develop and test analytical methods to detect
toxicologically relevant amounts of these insecticides. Ground-water and
surface-water samples from the New York metropolitan area are analyzed
for methoprene (an insect growth regulator), malathion (an
organophosphate), two pyrethroid compounds (phenothrin and resmethrin),
and piperonyl butoxide (a chemical synergist used with pyrethroids)
using a newly developed gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS)
method. Methoprene acid, a methoprene degradate, was analyzed using
immunoassay. More recently, passive in-situ samplers, semipermeable
membrane devices (SPMDs), have been used to measure the bioavailability
of these chemicals to fresh- and saltwater fish. All analyses have
method reporting limits in the part-per-trillion range. These data are
necessary for environmental risk assessment. The analytical methods used
is this study are valuable for acquiring knowledge about the fate and
transport of these mosquito insecticides and

synergist in water.

**Statement of FCC Chairman William E. Kennard**

**Regarding *En Banc* Hearing On The**

**Public Interest Obligations of Television Broadcasters**

Thank you all so much for coming here today, and participating in the
Commission's *en banc* hearing on the public interest obligations of
television broadcasters.

Television is the most powerful and ubiquitous medium in the history of
the world. Eighty-five percent of Americans watch local broadcast
television every week. On average, children spend three hours in front
of the television every single day. In sum, TV shapes our lives, our
outlooks, and the ways our children learn. So, clearly, it is a medium
that we all must care about, particularly at a time when the images
bombarding our homes and our families seem increasingly more troubling.

I have received a lot of input during my tenure from parents and
citizens who are concerned about the current direction of television.
Broadcast standards have coarsened. There is indisputably more
inappropriate content \-- more questionable language, sex, and violence
\-- in today's primetime. Conversely, there are less public service
announcements (PSAs) and less local and political coverage than ever
before. And there is a strong sense of unease among minority communities
that they are not being sufficiently represented on television in
positive roles. All of these disconcerting trends speak to the question
of broadcasters' public interest roles.

We all agree that broadcasters should serve the public interest, but we
all have different opinions of what that means. In listening to the
concerns of public advocates and broadcasters today, I am confident that
this hearing will aid in giving the term "serving the public interest"
more context and concrete definition. I believe "serving the public
interest" should mean something that is clearly articulated and
understood by all, especially by the public.

So, following this hearing, I will ask the Mass Media Bureau staff in
the next two weeks to prepare a report based on the record developed
today and in the Commission's underlying proceeding. I hope that from
this record, the staff will be able to distill a set of principles for
how television broadcasters can best serve the public as we transition
to digital television. I'd like to thank the Mass Media Bureau staff,
and in particular Julie Barrie, for working so hard to put this
important hearing together

I look forward to hearing from the panelists today.

Exemption No. 9707

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2002-13134

Mr. Jon M. Heuman

President

Ram Air Freight, Inc.

1425 Meridian Drive

Raleigh, NC 27623

Dear Mr. Heuman:

This letter is to inform you that we have denied your petition to extend
Exemption

No. 7876. It transmits our decision and explains its basis.

# The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated May 9, 2008, you petitioned the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) on behalf of Ram Air Freight, Inc. (Ram Air), for
extension of Exemption No. 7876. That exemption from § 135.143(c)(2) of
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allowed Ram Air to
operate certain aircraft under part 135 without complying with the
requirement for installation of a Mode S transponder. The FAA recognizes
that Exemption No. 7876 expired on September 30, 2006, and has issued
this decision a new exemption number.

The FAA recently issued a denial of exemption in circumstances similar
in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Denial
of Exemption No. 9578 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that in recent
years, the National Airspace System has experienced significant changes.
The considerable advances in the technology of surveillance systems that
use the Mode S systems and the continued growth of aviation traffic all
support Mode S transponder equipment. Mode S technology has the largest
ground and airborne infrastructure in place. Both the industry and the
FAA have invested in this ground and airborne infrastructure.
Furthermore, new technology and safety enhancement programs, such as
Airport Surface Detection 3 (ASDE-3), ASDE-X, Airport Movement Area
Safety Systems, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast, and Traffic
Information Service, use Mode S.

**The FAA's Decision:**

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption
would not be in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the
authority contained in 49 U.S.C.

§§ 40113 and 44701 delegated to me by the Administrator, your petition
to extend

Exemption No. 7876 is hereby denied.

Sincerely,

/s/
