Ms. Sara M. Hachmann

RE: The tariff classification of parts of an air purifier from an
unspecified country.

Dear Ms. Hachmann:

In your letter dated January 3, 2007, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. The submitted sample will be returned to you as
requested.

The articles under consideration are item number WSA2321, the Double
Plastic Button Spring, and item number WSA2322, the Triple Plastic
Button Spring. The Triple Plastic Button Spring measures approximately
5.5" wide by 2.5" long. It is a single piece of molded plastic which
features three contact pads. The Double Plastic Button Spring, also a
single piece of molded plastic, measures approximately 4" wide by 2.5"
long, and features two contact pads. Both items are designed to be
incorporated into Atmosphere Air Purifiers, model numbers 101076 and
102858. These items are clamped between the plastic control panel
bracket of the air purifier and a circuit board. The Button Spring
contact pads gather light from light emitting diodes (LEDs), and aim it
towards the back of the control panel buttons, keeping light leaks to a
minimum and eliminating cross-lighting among buttons.

In your ruling request you suggested a classification of 3926.90.9880.
The articles are plastic components that incorporate spring-like
features, but are more than just springs, in that they control light
leaks. Moreover, the items are used only in the push mode. They do not
push and retract with two-way motion the way springs would. Therefore,
these items are not considered to be parts of general use and thus not
classifiable in Chapter 39.

The applicable subheading for item number WSA2321, the Double Plastic
Button Spring, and item number WSA2322, the Triple Plastic Button
Spring, will be 8421.99.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS), which provides for: Centrifuges...filtering or purifying
machinery and apparatus, for liquids or gases; parts thereof: Parts:
Other: Other. The general 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/.

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

**Evolution in Museums and the Public's Understanding of Evolution**

Martin Weiss, PhD

*Science*

*47-01 111 th Street*

*Corona, NY 1136,8 USA*

[mweiss@nyscience.org](mailto:mweiss@nysciecne.org)

Evolution is clearly a topic that engenders strong feeling these days
amongst educators, scientists, and the religious public. It is a topic
that is under severe attack for more than scientific reasons and its
teaching has recently been argued in federal court. Though evolution is
part of science standards teachers say their teaching of evolution is
often tempered by their concerns about parental complaints. The public's
lack of understanding of science has been well documented and this is
one of the sources of their confusion about evolution. Specifically the
public is being confused about the use of the word *theory* in terms of
evolution, the facts of evolution and the relationship between their
personal religious beliefs and the scientific fact of evolution.
Informal education institutions have an obligation to present evolution
in the context of their missions in an engaging way so that our visitors
(almost half children \<10 years old average age) can understand it.
This is rarely done. There are numerous exhibitions at natural history
museums that encompass evolution but very few at science centers or
other informal science centers. Evolution exhibitions at natural history
museums very often do not present evolution as an ongoing process,
explain how scientists think evolution occurs, or address issues
involving faith based reasoning and understanding science. The attacks
on teaching of evolution have far greater implications for society than
the publics understanding of evolution. I will discuss what we
understand about the public's understanding and acceptance of evolution
from the perspective of current evolution exhibitions (eg *Explore
Evolution*) and from current research of children's developmental
ability to understand evolution. This forms the basis of a new program
(*Life Changes*) on evolution for science centers.
**§1.486 Disclosure of information related to infection with the human
immunodeficiency virus to public health authorities.**

\(a\) In the case of any record which is maintained in connection with
the performance of any program or activity relating to infection with
the HIV, information may be disclosed to a Federal, State, or local
public health authority, charged under Federal or State law with the
protection of the public health, and to which Federal or State law
requires disclosure of such record, if a qualified representative of
such authority has made a written request that such record be provided
as required pursuant to such law for a purpose authorized by such law.
In the case of a State law, such law must, in order for VA to be able to
release patient name and address information in accordance with 38
U.S.C. 5701(f)(2), provide for a penalty or fine or other sanction to be
assessed against those individuals who are subject to the jurisdiction
of the public health authority but fail to comply with the reporting
requirements.

\(b\) A person to whom a record is disclosed under this section may not
redisclose or use such record for a purpose other than that for which
the disclosure was made. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7332(b)(2)(C))

**§1.487 Disclosure of information related to infection with the human
immunodeficiency virus to the spouse or sexual partner of the patient.**

\(a\) Subject to paragraph (b) of this section, a physician or a
professional counselor may disclose information or records indicating
that a patient is infected with the HIV if the disclosure is made to the
spouse of the patient, or to an individual whom the patient has, during
the process of professional counseling or of testing to determine
whether the patient is infected with such virus, identified as being a
sexual partner of such patient.

\(b\) A disclosure under this section may be made only if the physician
or counselor, after making reasonable efforts to counsel and encourage
the patient to provide the information to the spouse or sexual partner,
reasonably believes that the patient will not provide the information to
the spouse or sexual partner and that the disclosure is necessary to
protect the health of the spouse or sexual partner.

\(c\) A disclosure under this section may be made by a physician or
counselor other than the physician or counselor referred to in paragraph
(b) of this section if such physician or counselor is unavailable by
reason of extended absence or termination of employment to make the
disclosure. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7332(b))

**ANALYSIS of AWS-3 INTERFERENCE TESTS**

**WT Docket Nos. 07-195 and 04-356**

The Federal Communication Commission's Office of Engineering and
Technology (OET) today released a report entitled *Advanced Wireless
Service Interference Tests Results and Analysis*.

The Commission initiated the above captioned proceedings to consider new
rules provisions for Advanced Wireless Services. One of the principal
issues in these proceedings has been the potential for harmful
interference from Advanced Wireless Service-3 (AWS-3) operations in the
2155 -- 2180 MHz band to Advanced Wireless Service-1 (AWS-1) operations
in the band 2110 -- 2155 MHz, particularly the potential for
interference between mobile devices.

To further inform the record, the Commission staff, together with
interested parties, performed laboratory bench tests to investigate this
interference potential on September 3-5 at a test facility in Seattle,
Washington. OET published the raw data from these tests on September 12,
2008.

The current report discusses the test results of the laboratory bench
tests that characterize the ability of mobile receivers to reject
interference under various technical conditions. The report also
analyzes the laboratory bench tests to assess the potential for harmful
interference between mobile devices under typical operating conditions
and recommends standards to minimize this interference potential.

The report has been added to the record for the above-captioned
proceedings. Parties may submit *ex parte* comments if they choose to do
so. For questions concerning this report, please contact Ira Keltz,

**Spanish aid for 2003 to nut producers**

On December 9, 2003, the newly-formed Management Committee for Direct
Aid Payments supported a Commission proposal to approve a Spanish
national aid of maximum EUR 241.50 per hectare for 2003 to support their
nut growers. Spain's quality improvement and marketing programs,
approved under the former common market organization for fruit and
vegetables, finished in 2002. New support measures for nut growers were
agreed in the CAP reform deal (1782/2003) but will not come into force
until January 2004. Under the new rules, the EU nut regime involves a
European subsidy of EUR 120.75 per hectare, with member states allowed
to top up the EU aid by EUR 120.75 per hectare. The proposed Spanish
national aid is meant to bridge the one-year gap between the old and the
new arrangements. The Spanish state aid amounts to EUR 67.5 million for
an estimated area of 280,000 hectares. The proposal will now be formally
adopted by the Commission.

My Partner and I of 20 years need your help getting the tax laws changed
since we are treated unfairly tax wise. There are a lot of areas in the
tax arena we are treated unfairly, but one that could impact us is the
most is the inheritance tax. Since we are not married and not related,
we would have to pay tax on half of the estate if one were to die. The
house would be assessed at the current value and not what we purchased
it at. So you could imagine what tax on a home at today\'s rate would
be. My Partner also pays tax on my health insurance that he gets through
his work unlike some one who is married. We are registered as Domestic
Partners through the State of California, but are not allowed joint
federal tax rights.

Thank you for your consideration,

I am opposed to chiropractors being part of the VA system. The

spinal adjustment, when looking at the literature might be beneficial
during

weeks 3 & 4 for symptomatic control of acute low back pain only. There
is no

scientific literature that supports adjusting mid back pain. The
literature

indicates that the benefits of neck adjustments do not out weigh the
risks.

The risk of neck adjustments include stroke, death, paralysis and disc

herniation.

I am attaching a PDF article you will find of interest.

If I can be of further service please do not hesitate to contact me.

**§3.381 Service connection of dental conditions for treatment
purposes.**

\(a\) Treatable carious teeth, replaceable missing teeth, dental or
alveolar abscesses, and periodontal disease will be considered
service-connected solely for the purpose of establishing eligibility for
outpatient dental treatment as provided in §17.161 of this chapter.

\(b\) The rating activity will consider each defective or missing tooth
and each disease of the teeth and periodontal tissues separately to
determine whether the condition was incurred or aggravated in line of
duty during active service. When applicable, the rating activity will
determine whether the condition is due to combat or other in-service
trauma, or whether the veteran was interned as a prisoner of war.

\(c\) In determining service connection, the condition of teeth and
periodontal tissues at the time of entry into active duty will be
considered. Treatment during service, including filling or extraction of
a tooth, or placement of a prosthesis, will not be considered evidence
of aggravation of a condition that was noted at entry, unless additional
pathology developed after 180 days or more of active service.

\(d\) The following principles apply to dental conditions noted at entry
and treated during service:

> \(1\) Teeth noted as normal at entry will be service-connected if they
> were filled or extracted after 180 days or more of active service.
>
> \(2\) Teeth noted as filled at entry will be service-connected if they
> were extracted, or if the existing filling was replaced, after 180
> days or more of active service.
>
> \(3\) Teeth noted as carious but restorable at entry will not be
> service-connected on the basis that they were filled during service.
> However, new caries that developed 180 days or more after such a tooth
> was filled will be service-connected.
>
> \(4\) Teeth noted as carious but restorable at entry, whether or not
> filled, will be service-connected if extraction was required after 180
> days or more of active service.
>
> \(5\) Teeth noted at entry as non-restorable will not be
> service-connected, regardless of treatment during service.
>
> \(6\) Teeth noted as missing at entry will not be service connected,
> regardless of treatment during service.

\(e\) The following will not be considered service-connected for
treatment purposes:

> \(1\) Calculus;
>
> \(2\) Acute periodontal disease;
>
> \(3\) Third molars, unless disease or pathology of the tooth developed
> after 180 days or more of active service, or was due to combat or
> in-service trauma; and
>
> \(4\) Impacted or malposed teeth, and other developmental defects,
> unless disease or pathology of these teeth developed after 180 days or
> more of active service.

\(f\) Teeth extracted because of chronic periodontal disease will be
service-connected only if they were extracted after 180 days or more of
active service. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1712)

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration it is a pleasure to
invite you to participate in the first of the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation, Life Sciences Innovation Forum "Anti-Counterfeiting Health
Products Seminar", which will be held in Singapore from January 13 --
15, 2007 at the Furama River Front Hotel.

We are pleased to announce that with APEC and U.S. funding we plan to
carry out two series of anti-counterfeiting seminars concerning medical
products. One series of the two-day seminars will be held in Asia and
the other will be held in Latin America. Working with our local
partners, the Singapore Health Sciences Authority and the U.S.-ASEAN
Business Council, we developed a program for the first series designed
to provide regulatory authorities and other stakeholders with the tools
both to perform training exercises in their local economies and regions
throughout Asia and to enhance societal awareness of the hazards of
counterfeit pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

This seminar is designed for Government and industry stakeholders in
APEC economies that deal with the policy, regulation and development of
medical products as well as health professionals, customs specialists,
law enforcement officials focusing on counterfeit medical products, and
interested representatives from non-APEC economies.

This first seminar will include introductory modules on counterfeit
hazard, detection and prevention. The objectives of this seminar include
improving detection and prevention of counterfeit medical products,
safeguarding patient health and promoting an environment that is
conducive to innovation in the life sciences, and developing skills
through a case-study approach. A second session, to be held in Singapore
in April 2008, is envisioned as an advanced training course building on
the first session with more intensive modules on counterfeit avoidance
and deterrence measures.

The rising number of counterfeit medical products is a serious global
health problem. Each passing year bears witness to more counterfeit
medical products than the year before as counterfeiting activity spreads
into an ever increasing range of medical products. The global health
implications of counterfeit health products are ominous, and these
seminars provide a unique opportunity to enable concerned policy
stakeholders to alter the course of this disturbing trend.

Please visit our website at
[www.hsa.gov.sg/apec_lsif_seminar](http://www.hsa.gov.sg/apec_lsif_seminar)
for more information about the Seminar, including the initial draft
program, registration form and accommodation information. We look
forward to welcoming you to Singapore in January and to your
participation and contribution to the APEC LSIF Anti-Counterfeiting
Health Products Seminar.

Sincerely,

> Lois Ann Beaver
