**§18.445 Housing.**

\(a\) *Housing provided by a recipient.* A recipient that provides
housing to its nonhandicapped students shall provide comparable,
convenient, and accessible housing to qualified handicapped students at
the same cost as to others. At the end of the transition period provided
for in §18.422(e), this housing shall be available in sufficient
quantity and variety so that the scope of handicapped students' choice
of living accommodations is, as a whole, comparable to that of
nonhandicapped students.

\(b\) *Other housing.* A recipient that assists any agency,
organization, or person in making housing available to any of its
students shall assure itself that such housing is, as a whole, made
available in a manner that does not result in discrimination on the
basis of handicap.

**§18.446 Financial and employment assistance to students.**

\(a\) *Provision of financial assistance.*

\(1\) In providing financial assistance to qualified handicapped
persons, a recipient may not:

\(i\) On the basis of handicap, provide less assistance than is provided
to nonhandicapped persons, limit eligibility for assistance, or
otherwise discriminate; or

\(ii\) Assist any entity or person that provides assistance to any of
the recipient's students in a manner that discriminates against
qualified handicapped persons on the basis of handicap.

\(2\) A recipient may administer or assist in the administration of
scholarships, fellowships, or other forms of financial assistance
established under wills, trusts, bequests, or similar legal instruments
that require awards to be made on the basis of factors that discriminate
or have the effect of discriminating on the basis of handicap only if
the overall effect of the award of scholarships, fellowships, and other
forms of financial assistance is not discriminatory on the basis of
handicap.

\(b\) *Assistance in making available outside employment.* A recipient
that assists any agency, organization, or person in providing employment
opportunities to any of its students shall assure itself that these
employment opportunities, as a whole, are made available in a manner
that would not violate §§18.411 through 18.414 if the opportunities were
provided by the recipient.

\(c\) *Employment of students by recipients.* A recipient that employs
any of its students may not do so in a manner that violates §§18.411
through 18.414.

[For Immediate Release]{.underline}

**Foam Coolers Prohibited on Riverways starting 2007**

Ozark National Scenic Riverways has announced that starting May 1, 2007,
all polystyrene foam type food and beverage coolers typically known as
"Styrofoam" coolers will be prohibited on the Jacks Fork and Current
Rivers within the Riverways boundary. This includes all polystyrene
coolers with an exterior foam coating or coolers made of solid foam.

Missouri State Law requires that food and beverage containers have a
solid lid that is secured to the container to reduce litter in the event
of an accident. Polystyrene coolers break up easily into smaller parts
which litter the river banks and the foam material never decomposes but
remains in the river system for hundreds of years. Using a hard-shelled
plastic cooler with a secure top helps to encourage sustainable
practices and eliminate material going to the landfills.

Fishermen can continue to use the smaller polystyrene foam containers
designed for bait. The National Park Service appreciates support from
the public regarding this new regulation.

The Ozark National Scenic Riverways is Missouri's largest national park
area and protects 134 miles of the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers. For
more information, visit the park's Web site at www.nps.gov/ozar.

Photolithography is the critical process that enables the fabrication of
sub-100 nm structures for integrated circuit manufacturing. The basic
imaging material, highly tuned formulations called chemically amplified
photoresists, may quickly be approaching fundamental resolution limits
due to intrinsic materials and processing physics and chemistry. Current
imaging technology is dependent on nanometer level control of the
diffusion-reaction process of a UV sensitive photoacid generator in
polymer-based photoresists containing acid-labile protection groups.
Many studies have focused on the physical-chemical properties of the
photoacid such as the size and the acidity. Few have investigated the
effect of polymer photoresist polarity on the reaction kinetics. In
addition, the mechanisms regarding the photoacid diffusion-reaction are
not consistent and even contrary to each other in various aspects like
reaction order and acid loss factor.

In this study, we use a model 193 nm photolithography copolymer
photoresist system which includes an acid-labile and a non-reactive
monomer to investigate the dependence of the acid catalyzed kinetics on
the copolymer composition, temperature, and UV exposure dose by Fourier
transform infrared spectroscopy. We find that the reaction rate
significantly depends on the non-reactive comonomer content. The
molecular origin of this behavior is traced to the reduced photoacid
diffusivity in the polymer matrix through hydrogen bonding with the
polar group of the non-reactive comonomer groups. The same hydrogen
bonding also is present between the photoacid and reaction byproduct
leading to a trapping effect. This study clarifies several issues
regarding the acid diffusion-reaction kinetics to provide guidelines for
future resist design.
SEPARATE STATEMENT OF

COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS

Re: *Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism*

*(CC Docket No. 02-6)*

By connecting our schools and libraries to the Internet, E-Rate plays a
critical role in providing our children and our communities with the
digital tools necessary to compete and prosper in the Information Age.
No program has been as singularly effective at making sure that young
people from the poorest and most geographically isolated communities in
this country are not left on the wrong side of the digital divide. The
statistics are impressive and they bear repeating. When the
Telecommunications Act was passed, only 14% of public school classrooms
were connected to the Internet. By last year, 87% of these classrooms
were connected. In rural areas, the results have been even more
impressive, with 89% of public school classrooms now connected. And in
schools with high percentages of students eligible for free or
reduced-price luncheons, we have also made substantial progress: 79% of
public school classrooms are now connected.

Great programs like E-Rate do not thrive without regular review and
care. The gains we have made can vanish without continued attention and,
indeed, vigilance. This is why our actions today are important. So I am
pleased that we adopt rules for suspension and debarment to ensure that
bad actors will be denied the ability to participate in the E-Rate
program. I am also pleased that we develop an online list of eligible
internal connections equipment that will make it simpler for schools and
libraries to develop their applications.

These are good and positive steps, but there is more work that remains
to be done. We need to work harder to ensure that deserving schools and
libraries receive support in a more timely way. With libraries and
school districts around the country struggling under the weight of often
draconian budget cuts, the need to deliver timely E-Rate support has
never been more important. We also need to clarify our competitive
bidding rules to ensure that applicants get the services they need at
low prices. And we need to be dead serious about rooting out abuses to
make sure the program functions with the integrity it must have. My hope
is that as abuses are identified and eliminated, we will focus
simultaneously on these other programmatic challenges that are equally
high priority. In sum, we need to work together to make sure that the
E-Rate's public-private commitment to technology access has a future
every bit as bright as the record it has already achieved. Today's item
represents a start, and I am pleased to support it.

RE: 24 CFR Parts 905 and 990

\[Docket No. FR-4843-P-01\] RIN 2577-AC49

> Use of Public Housing Capital and Operating funds for Financing
> Activities --Proposed Rule

Rules Docket Clerk:

The Greensboro Housing Authority (GHA) submits the following comments
regarding the proposed changes to 24 CFR 905 and 990 about the use of
public housing capital and operating funds for financing activities for
your consideration:

-   In general, GHA supports the concept of allowing Public Housing
    Authorities (PHAs) to use their capital funds and operating funds
    for financing activities.

-   In particular reference to section 905.705(J) (3), it establishes
    that PHAs may not pledge any public housing assets unless
    specifically approved by HUD. This rule should be amended and
    expanded to continue QHWRA's goal as reflected in section 516.30 of
    QHWRA where HUD is allowed to authorize PHAs to grant a security
    interest in its properties.

-   In addition, section 905.705(p) and section 990.405(r), involving
    the submission of performance and evaluation reports on a quarterly
    basis, GHA considers these reporting requirements to be too
    recurrent. Since modern data storage methods allow for instant data
    archiving and retrieval, changing the proposed submission schedule
    to semiannual would not interfere with HUD's examinations
    --therefore, if there is a need to examine documents sooner that the
    six-month schedule, PHAs can comply in short notice.

-   GHA believes the PHAs can benefit from using a structurally
    simplified CFFP and OFFP similar to that of the mixed-finance
    housing programs.

Office of the General Counsel

September 6, 2007

Page 2

-   Finally, the proposed rule does not include an "approval process
    timeline", "status update" or similar type of control. A provision
    like this can help PHAs anticipate their impact from HUD's approval
    and would allow them time to implement an alternate action plan in
    case the PHA receives a limited approval.

GHA appreciates the opportunity to make comments regarding the proposed
rule.

At its fifth meeting of the Conference Preparatory Group for WRC-07, APT
members considered the necessity for possible identification of global
harmonized fixed-satellite service (FSS) frequency bands for Internet
applications as well as the appropriate regulatory/technical provisions.
The conclusion was that there is no need for the identification of
specific FSS frequency bands for Internet applications.

ASP/41A19/321

No change to Article 5 of the Radio Regulations under Agenda item 1.19.

**Reasons:** There are many existing and planned systems in a number of
different FSS frequency bands fully capable of providing
broadband/Internet applications on a global basis. Therefore, no changes
to the Radio Regulations are necessary to accommodate such applications
in the FSS. The responses to the studies requested in this agenda item
have been provided in Recommendations ITU-R S.1782 and ITU-R S.1783.
Administrations are encouraged to further contribute to ITU‑R studies
that would provide guidance, as appropriate, on technical and
operational aspects of providing Internet applications over satellite
systems.

**U.S. Helps Sindh Assembly Launch New Website**

***Karachi, September 2, 2008*** \-- The U.S. Government and the Sindh
Assembly today celebrated the official launch of the Assembly's new
website. The website is the product of a partnership between the
Assembly and the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID), a U.S. Government agency.

"The launch of this website will afford members of the public a greater
understanding of how their representatives work," said U.S. Consul
General in Karachi Kay L. Anske. "It provides them better access to the
legislative process and the opportunity to be more involved in their
government."

The Sindh Provincial Assembly website (www.pas.gov.pk) contains
information in English and Urdu on the Assembly, including its history,
members, bills, acts, proceedings, and resolutions. Visitors to the
website can find information on the functioning of the Assembly's
Standing Committees and the committees' activities, reports, news
releases, news clippings, and photographs. The website also features an
e-mail portal that allows citizens to directly contact the Assembly and
engage in their government.

The U.S. Government's \$9.3 million Pakistan Legislative Strengthening
Project (PLSP) funds the website. PLSP partners with Pakistan's national
and provincial legislatures to strengthen parliamentary institutions and
processes.

Since 2002, the U.S. Government has provided more than \$2 billion to
Pakistan to improve economic growth, education, health, and governance
and to assist with earthquake reconstruction.

# **Erratum**

The Commission released Public Notice, DA 99-1364 on July 14, 1999,
which presented draft proposals approved by the WRC-2000 Advisory
Committee at its eighth meeting on June 24, 1999. The draft proposal
presented in Section VI of the Public Notice as Proposal 2 for Informal
Working Group 7 (IWG-7) on pages 68-71 was wrongly attributed to IWG-7.
While this draft proposal did appear as part of Document WAC/089 which
was referenced, the draft proposal itself originated from the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and appeared in
a document which was distributed at the June 24 meeting as Document
WAC/103. (This document was referenced in Section VIII B on page 85 of
the Public Notice as NTIA's Proposal Set 2). IWG-7 provided its reasons
in Document WAC/089 for not supporting the NTIA proposal. These comments
will be considered along with those made to the Public Notice in
evolving proposals in preparation for the World Radiocommunication
Conference in 2000 (WRC-2000). Both documents can be found on the FCC's

> **PRECAUTIONERY MEASURES TO REDUCE THE POSSIBLE RISK OF TRANSMISSION
> OF ZOONOSES BY BLOOD AND BLOOD PRODUCTS FROM XENOTRANSPLANTATION
> PRODUCT RECIPIENTS AND THEIR CLOSE CONTACT**

To whom it may concern:

The proposed guideline to \"indefinitely defer\" blood donations from
xenotransplantation recipients, their close contacts, and relevant
clinical personnel is inadequate to protect the U.S. blood supply.

In order to prevent the recipients (patients), their close contacts and
health care personnel from donating blood a national database listing
names and addresses must be maintained.

Such a database, however, is not foolproof. It cannot be legally
enforced, it would require significant funds to develop and administer
and it is subject to human error and/or changes in personal status of
the recipients, their close contacts and clinical personnel involved.

Also, the proposed guidelines ignore the fact that some viruses are
latent, and many may be transmitted like a common cold. They may
manifest themselves years or decades after infection. The potential
consequences for the U.S. blood supply are frightening.

The unknown consequences associated with xenotransplantation need to be
taken into account when forming policy. It is the FDA\'s responsibility
as an institution of the United States government to protect the blood
supply and the lives of it\'s citizens by BANNING xenotransplantation
immediately.

**Development of High Oil Winter and Spring Naked Oats and Release of
Cultivar Racoon**

Alexander Cowan\*, Brian Middleton, Dilwyn Jones and John Valentine

IBERS, Gogerddan, Aberystwyth University, SY23 3EB, UK

\*corresponding author : email <syc@aber.ac.uk>

**Abstract**

An objective of the oat breeding programme at IBERS (formerly IGER) is
to produce high oil winter and spring naked oats. Various genetic
resources have been used as a starting point for high oil material.
Lines from various cycles of the successful recurrent selection
programme for high oil with the introgression of *A. sterilis* in Iowa
were used. These are ranging from 14-18% oil content. A series of
crosses have been completed to incorporate this virtually unadapted wild
spring type material into high yielding UK adapted material. The variety
Racoon, which was first listed in 2005 on the BSPB National List, is a
major achievement with an increased oil content being recorded along
with reasonable agronomic characteristics. The initial cross was made in
1991 as one of a series of 27 designed to incorporate the high oil trait
into a high yielding naked oat background. Four years later, line 91-221
was then crossed again into a UK adapted naked winter oat and then
95-240 passed through the pedigree selection method when it was
eventually named Racoon and added to UK National List. This variety
still retains some traits such as very tall height from the original
high oil source of N361-3. It is however stiff strawed, has
characteristic long thin grains and an oil content of between 14 and
15%.

High oil naked oats have considerable potential as animal feedstuff
being one of the highest energy cereals available. As part of the
current Oatlink project assessments are being made to validate the
beneficial effects of using naked oats as poultry feed. Results of grain
quality and feed value will be presented.

We are continuing to breed for high oil naked oats utilising current
available technology such as high throughput screening NIR and marker
assisted selection to enhance the production of shorter or dwarf naked
oats which incorporate the desired traits for the livestock feed
industry.

**Wilson: \"Hold Iran Accountable\"**

 

***WASHINGTON, D.C. -Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) made the
following statement on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives: 
 ***

 

\"Mr. Speaker, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran, continues to
deny the devastation of the Holocaust and encourage the elimination of
Israel.  As his message of hatred and fanaticism grows louder each day,
the seriousness of his nuclear ambitions has become increasingly
obvious.   

 

\"Last week, the IAEA\'s Board of Governors, including our allies India,
Canada, and Australia, voted overwhelmingly to report Iran to the U.N.
Security Council.  Although the Bush Administration built a case for
international unity, Iran\'s President persists in his quest for nuclear
weapons.  The U.N. must act quickly and strongly to hold Iran
accountable for violating the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. 

 

\"During the Cold War, Ronald Reagan advocated peace through strength.
As the Iranian Regime continues to undermine peace and stability,
leaders of free nations must work together to seriously address this
grave threat.  While President Ahmadinejad continues to pursue his
agenda of terror, the Iranian people deserve a brighter future of
economic expansion, not a war-mongering leader. 

 

\"In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September
11^th^.\"

**PARADISE INN TO REOPEN AFTER TWO-YEAR RENOVATION**

The historic Paradise Inn in Mount Rainier National Park will reopen
Friday, May 16 after a two-year, \$22.5 million renovation. "It will be
wonderful to see this noble landmark hotel open again for park
visitors," said Park Superintendent Dave Uberuaga. Park visitors are
invited to a 3:00 p.m. ribbon cutting ceremony to be followed by coffee
and cake in the hotel lobby. Congressman Dave Reichert, Congressman Norm
Dicks and National Park Service Pacific West Regional Director Jon
Jarvis will say a few words. There will be tours of the Inn at 1:00 and
4:00 for those interested in learning more about the work completed
during the renovation.

Renovation of the Paradise Inn began in May 2006 to correct structural
problems that could have been catastrophic in the event of an earthquake
or fire. The building's timber frame construction was deformed from
years of heavy snow loads. The stone fireplaces and a stone wall were
unstable. The stone rubble foundation did not provide adequate support
for the building. These problems have all been corrected. In addition,
the project replaced failing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire
protection system components. And the building is also now accessible to
those in wheelchairs.

Fletcher, Farr, Ayotte, based in Portland, Oregon, developed the
architectural and engineering design for the project. The construction
contract was awarded to Watts-Korsmo Joint Venture. John Korsmo
Construction is based in Lakewood, Washington and Miller-Watts is based
in Novato, California. The project was completed on time and within
budget.

The Paradise Inn was constructed in 1916 and is a National Historic
Landmark. The building has a beautiful dining room and lobby, as well as
118 guest rooms, a gift shop and cafe. The Inn is operated by Guest
Services, Incorporated and will be open to overnight guests from May 16
through early October. Further information is available at
