RE: The tariff classification of Roll-up Piano from China

Dear Mr. Langtry:

In your letter dated March 21, 2006, on behalf of Mark Feldstein &
Associates, you requested a tariff classification ruling on a Roll-up
Piano from China. You have submitted a sample with your ruling request.

Item number DS019 is identified a Roll-up Piano. You have described the
item as a smaller version of a basic piano keyboard. The Roll-up Piano
has four sets of octachord (49 keys) suitable for all kinds of music
play, and is equipped with 100 tones. The item is made of plastic, and
can be rolled up and stored easily. Sound is made electronically. The
piano is powered by an AC adapter or by four AA batteries. While using
the adapter, the batteries must be removed and the DC plug must be
inserted into the DC socket. The batteries and the AC adapter are not
included. The piano can be connected to speakers for better sound
quality or headphones can be used.

You have proposed classification for the Roll-up Piano under subheading
9503.50.00, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
which provides for toy musical instruments and apparatus and parts and
accessories thereof. You have indicated in your letter that the purpose
of the Roll-up Piano is for amusement and it is not functional as an
actual piano. The National Import Specialist for toys has stated that
the Roll-up Piano is designed to make music, and that it is sensitive
and delicate requiring adult supervision if used by a child. The item is
not designed to make believe one is playing music, but to actually make
music. Accordingly, Customs does not consider the Roll-up Piano to be a
toy classifiable under heading 9503. The Roll-up Piano is classifiable
in chapter 92 which provides for musical instruments.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the Roll-up Piano will be 9207.10.00,
HTSUS, which provides for musical instruments, the sound of which is
produced, or must be amplified, electrically: keyboard instruments,
other than accordions. The rate of duty will be 5.4 percent ad valorem.

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/.

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 Barbara Kiefer at 646-733-3019.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski

**§75.113 Data breach.**

Consistent with the definition of data breach in §75.112 of this
subpart, a data breach occurs under this subpart if there is a loss or
theft of, or other unauthorized access to, other than an unauthorized
access incidental to the scope of employment, data containing sensitive
personal information, in electronic or printed form, that results in the
potential compromise of the confidentiality or integrity of the data.
The term "unauthorized access" used in the definition of "data breach"
includes access to an electronic information system and includes, but is
not limited to, viewing, obtaining, or using data containing sensitive
personal information in any form or in any VA information system. The
phrase "unauthorized access incidental to the scope of employment"
includes instances when employees of contractors and other entities need
access to VA sensitive information in order to perform a contract or
agreement with VA but incidentally obtain access to other VA sensitive
information. Accordingly, an unauthorized access, other than an
unauthorized access incidental to the scope of employment, to data
containing sensitive personal information, in electronic or printed
form, that results in the potential compromise of the confidentiality or
integrity of the data, constitutes a data breach. In addition to these
circumstances, VA also interprets data breach to include circumstances
in which a user misuses sensitive personal information to which he or
she has authorized access. The following circumstances do not constitute
a data breach and, consequently, are not subject to the provisions of
this subpart:

\(a\) An unauthorized access to data containing sensitive personal
information that was determined by the Secretary to be incidental to the
scope of employment, such as an inadvertent unauthorized viewing of
sensitive personal information by a VA employee or a person acting on
behalf of VA.

\(b\) A loss, theft, or other unauthorized access to data containing
sensitive personal information that the Secretary determined to have no
possibility of compromising the confidentiality or integrity of the
data, such as the inability of compromising the confidentiality or
integrity of the data because of encryption or the inadvertent
disclosure to another entity that is required to provide the same or a
similar level of protection for the data under statutory or regulatory
authority. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 5724, 5727)

# Recovery of Acetic Acid from Byproduct Streams

. Phone: 1-515-294-3951. Fax: 1-515-294-3091. E-mail: <fan@ameslab.gov>

This research focused on the development of a low-cost and efficient
method of recovering acetic acid from byproduct or waste streams of the
agricultural processing industry. Such streams arise from the production
of furfural (C~4~H~3~OCHO) or from the anaerobic digestion of wastewater
or animal manure. Lime and sulfur dioxide were the major materials used
for separating acetic acid from dilute water solution. This process,
recently demonstrated in our laboratory, involved the use of lime and
either sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide for neutralizing and
regenerating acetic acid. The lime and sulfur oxide can be recovered and
recycled in the overall acetic acid separation process. Therefore, this
acetic acid separation process should be cost-effective and
nonpolluting.

**Key words:** acetic acid, separation, recovery, waste stream and
anaerobic digestion.

[1729](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1729)--[November
10](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_10).
[1789](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1789)) was the first
[governor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_North_Carolina) of
the [U.S.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States)
[State](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state) of [North
Carolina](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina), serving from
[1776](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776) to
[1780](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1780) and from
[1784](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1784) to
[1787](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1787).

A lawyer and surveyor by training, Caswell represented North Carolina in
the [Continental
Congress](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Congress) of
[1774](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1774) and
[1775](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1775). As a Patriot officer in the
[revolutionary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War)
army, Caswell led troops in battle at [Moores Creek
Bridge](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Moore's_Creek_Bridge_NC).

Caswell was president of the [provincial
congress](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Provincial_Congress)
that wrote the first [North Carolina
Constitution](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Constitution)
in 1776. As the congress adjourned, it elected Caswell as acting
governor. He took the oath of office on January 16, 1777. Under the new
constitution, the state Legislature (\"General Assembly\") re-elected
him as the first Governor in April 1777. He stepped down in 1780, as the
constitution allowed only three consecutive one-year terms.

He served as the state\'s comptroller and as a member of the [North
Carolina Senate](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Senate)
between his two gubernatorial terms. Caswell was also chosen to be one
of [North Carolina](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina)\'s
delegates to the United States [Constitutional Convention of
1787](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Convention_of_1787),
but he did not attend.

At the time of his death in [1789](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1789),
he had returned once again to the [North Carolina General
Assembly](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_General_Assembly),
this time serving as [Speaker of the
Senate](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Pro_Tempore_of_the_North_Carolina_Senate).

Benefits of application of advanced technologies for Neptune Orbiters,
Atmospheric Probes, and Triton Lander

Alan Somers

Abstract:  Missions with planned launch dates several years from today
pose significant design challenges in properly accounting for technology
advances that may occur in the time leading up to actual spacecraft
design, build, test and launch.  Conceptual mission and spacecraft
designs that rely solely on off the shelf technology will result in
conservative estimates that may not be attractive or truly
representative of the mission as it actually will be designed and built.
The Laboratory of Spacecraft and Mission Design (LSMD) at the California
Institute of Technology (Caltech) has developed a tool - Cost and Mass
Evaluation of Technology (CoMET) that allows the effects of technology
improvements to be calculated for a given baseline mission.  This past
summer, as part of one of NASA\'s Vision Mission Studies, a group of
students at the LSMD have been developing and analyzing different
Neptune mission baselines, using CoMET to determine the benefits of
various assumed technology improvements.  The baseline mission uses
either a chemical propulsion system or a solar-electric system.
Insertion into orbit around Neptune is achieved by means of aerocapture.
Triton is used as a tour engine. With these technologies a comprehensive
Cassini-class investigation of the Neptune system is possible.
Technologies under investigation include the aerocapture heat shield and
thermal protection system, both chemical and solar electric propulsion
systems, spacecraft power and energy storage systems.

# Site of Work

# US Department of Labor (USDOL) Final Rule

**Background:**

On December 20, 2000, the US Department of Labor issued a final rule
making regarding the applicability of Davis-Bacon wage rates to
construction sites which are not located on the permanent site of the
work. This issue has been the subject of numerous court cases and
challenges over the past decade.

**Talking Points:**

-   The final rule revises the definition of the phrase \"site of the
    work\" to extend Davis-Bacon prevailing wage law coverage to
    material and supply sources and tool yards that are dedicated to the
    covered project and are \"adjacent or virtually adjacent\" to the
    project. Under the revised definition of construction in the final
    rule, off‑site transportation of materials, supplies, and tools is
    not covered by prevailing wage law unless that transportation occurs
    between the construction site and a dedicated facility located
    \"adjacent or virtually adjacent\" to the construction site.

-   The USDOL does not believe that it is appropriate to define the term
    "adjacent or virtually adjacent" because the actual distance may
    vary depending upon the size and nature of the project. The lack of
    a clear definition may continue to cause implementation problems for
    State DOTs.

-   The USDOL also revised Section 5.2(1)(1) to include within the site
    of the work, secondary sites, other than the project's final resting
    place, which have been established specifically for the performance
    of the Davis-Bacon covered contract and at which a "significant"
    portion of the public building or work is constructed. However, the
    USDOL elected not to define the term "significant". In the absence
    of a clear definition for the term "significant", State DOTs and
    contractors may arrive at different interpretations. State DOTs
    should contact their Regional USDOL Offices for an interpretation of
    coverage on a case-by-case basis.

-   A copy of the final rule making may be obtained at the Office of the
    Federal Register web site
    (http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fedreg/a001220c.html).

Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of γ-Fe~2~0~3~ Nanoparticles in a
Biocompatible Alginate Matrix

[S.J. Rehse]{.underline} and E. Brown

## Wayne State University, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Detroit, Michigan

An intensive multi-disciplinary research effort is underway at Wayne
State University to synthesize and characterize magnetic nanoparticles
in a biocompatible matrix for biomedical applications. The particular
system being studied consists of 3 to 15 nm γ-Fe~2~0~3~ nanoparticles in
an alginate matrix, which is being studied for applications in targeted
drug delivery, as an MRI contrast agent, and for hyperthermic treatments
of malignant tumors. Due to the synthesis process and the distribution
of the nanoparticles as a form of colloidal suspension throughout the
matrix, the total fractional iron content in the alginate is generally
unknown. Off-site analysis indicates an iron content of 25%-40%, but
with unrealistically small error bars.

In the present work we report on our efforts to determine if
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) can offer a more accurate
and substantially faster determination of iron content in such
nanoparticle-containing materials. Standardized samples of α-Fe~2~0~3~
nanoparticles (5 to 25 nm diameter) and silver micro-powder (2-3.5 μm
diameter) were created with thirteen precisely known concentrations and
pressed hydraulically to create solid "pellets" for LIBS analysis.
Elemental emission spectra from these samples were investigated after
laser ablation and suitable Fe and Ag emission lines for concentration
determination were identified. Laser-induced plasma characteristics such
as plasma temperature were also studied. The ratio of the intensity of
an Fe emission line to that of an Ag line for each of the 13 standard
samples was used to create a calibration curve exhibiting an exponential
dependence on Fe mass fraction. Using this curve, an "unknown"
γ-Fe~2~0~3~ / alginate / silver pellet was tested, leading to a
measurement of the mass fraction of Fe in the nanoparticle/alginate
matrix of 0.51.03, which is in very good agreement with expectations
and previous determinations.
