IQCS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

> REVIEW SESSION SUMMARY

**Question**

Why does it take so long to lookup Review Session Summary?

**Answer**

When looking at the Review Session Summary in IQCS, the system has to
look through many thousand training records, this process is so slow
that the system gets timed out.

In order to provide the ability of reviewing the enrollees in any
session we have adapted the search screen for Rapid Session Enrollment.
This search screen allows the user to view 'Active', 'Cancelled', and
'Completed' course sessions. You can now search for a course session
that has been completed and view who was enrolled in that course.

**NOTE** -- you can no longer reactivate a completed course session. Be
sure that the list of students enrolled in the course under 'Rapid
Session Administration' is **CORRECT** before completing the session.

Policies for Swift Scientific Operation During Year 1

04-June-2004 N. Gehrels

1\) Swift is a GRB mission. The top scientific priority for the mission
is observations of GRBs and their afterglows.

2\) For the first months of the mission, all GRBs imaged by BAT will be
pointed to by the spacecraft as an AT if allowed by observing
constraints. All GRBs will be given equal merit values so that the FOM
will not prevent a slew to a new GRB due to a previous higher-priority
burst. This policy will be reviewed by the EC with advise from the GRB
advisory board (see #8 below) before the end of the Verification Phase
and again at launch plus 6 months.

3\) The default duration for an AT will be 20,000 seconds of good
observing time.

4\) With the exception of rare TOOs (see #7 below), all PPTs will be GRB
afterglows. If there are no recent GRBs available at a given time and
given orbital phase, then observations will be scheduled of older GRBs.

5\) For PPTs, recent GRBs will generally take priority over older GRBs.
Older, more interesting GRBs can be moved up in priority by approval of
the MOC Director in consultation with the relevant BAs. The PI will have
ultimate authority if questions arise.

6\) GRBs discovered with other observatories or from the analysis of BAT
data on the ground can be followed-up by the Swift XRT and UVOT
instruments as a PPT or by using the TDRSS uplink of a GRB TOO to the
onboard FOM. This will be done at the approval of the PI. It will not
occur until the end of the Verification Phase unless an exceptional GRB
is detected. The decision will be based on the relative scientific
importance of the GRB TOO compared to the planned schedule.

7\) During the first year there will be a high threshold for non-GRB
TOOs. A TOO will be implemented only for the most interesting and unique
transients. This will be done by approval of the PI in consultation with
the EC. The mechanism for a TOO request is for the interested Swift or
outside scientist to fill out the web TOO form. It is expected that no
more than 6 TOOs will be implemented in year 1.

8\) A GRB advisory board will be established to give advice on GRB
policy issues. The board will have approximately 5 members chosen from
the Swift science team.

9\) These policies for scientific operation during year 1 will be
reviewed at launch plus 6 months.

**Remarks of**

**FCC Chairman Michael Powell**

**At the**

**FCC Rural Satellite Forum**

**January 27, 2004**

**Washington, D.C.**

Thank you for attending today's Rural Satellite Forum.

Broadband deployment is a major communications policy objective in
America today. The Commission is committed to bringing the benefits of
21^st^ Century communications to all Americans. In November, the
Commission held a forum on rural "Wireless Internet Service Providers"
(WISPs). Today's Rural Satellite Forum elaborates on the message from
the November forum: that affordable satellite technology is now
available to deliver enhanced broadband services in rural areas.

The ubiquity of satellite signals has long held the potential to deliver
advanced communications anywhere and everywhere in America. Today's
Rural Satellite Forum is intended to showcase the technology and
significant progress that has been made to realize its full potential.

I place a high priority on ensuring that Americans living and working in
rural and remote parts of our Nation have access to the same kind of
high quality, advanced communications services as do Americans living in
cities and suburbs.

At the same time, I recognize that this great country of ours covers
vast geographic distances.

But there is one communications technology -- satellite -- that is
capable of reaching each and every single American, in every spot of the
country, no matter how rural or remotely located they might be.

Satellite entrepreneurs are developing strategies to package and resell
satellite capacity to create communications services that are
economically and technologically within the reach of rural Americans and
their farms and businesses.

You will hear a number of success stories today; examples of how
satellite technology has been used to enhance the lives of rural
Americans in the areas of: distance learning; telemedicine; public
safety; farming; broadband Internet service, and mass media
entertainment.

Today, we salute the progress of the satellite industry in helping to
reach that goal. I hope that the stories told today will raise awareness
of these developing services throughout rural America.

I expect that the unequaled reach of satellite technology will continue
to make satellites a natural medium for delivering communications
services to rural America.

I want to especially thank our colleagues at the Rural Utility Service
of the Department of Agriculture for their participation and cooperation
in today's Forum. We share with the Department of Agriculture a joint
responsibility to bring the best possible communications to rural
America. I thank Ed Cameron of the RUS for joining us today to explain
USDA's grant and loan programs.

I also would like to thank my fellow Commissioners Abernathy, Copps,
Martin and Adelstein for their participation in today's Forum.

**MEXICAN STATE OF NAYARIT GAINS CLASSICAL SWINE FEVER-FREE STATUS**

WASHINGTON, May 31, 2007\--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service is amending its regulations to add
the Mexican state of Nayarit to the list of regions considered to be
free of classical swine fever (CSF). APHIS conducted a thorough risk
evaluation that determined the region is CSF free.

Under this final rule, Nayarit must meet certain certification
requirements in order to export live swine, pork and pork products to
the United States and continue to ensure its freedom from CSF. Although
Nayarit is considered CSF free, the state is located adjacent to regions
that are still considered infected.

In order to export to the United States, Nayarit would have to certify
the products' origin, move and process pork products in CSF-free zones
and require that all processing facilities be inspected by the
government of Mexico.

Nayarit is not a major swine production area.  In 2004, 34 commercial
swine farms were located in Nayarit, with a population of 30,634
animals.  This rulemaking is unlikely to have a significant effect on
U.S. pork and pork products markets since Mexico is mainly an importer
of U.S. pork.  In 2004, Mexico exported approximately 3.2 percent or
36,000 metric tons of their total pork production.

These actions relieve certain CSF-related restrictions on the
importation of pork, pork products, live swine and swine semen from
Nayarit into the United States while continuing to protect against the
introduction of this disease into the United States.

  CSF, a highly contagious viral disease of swine, was eradicated from
the United States in 1978 after a 16-year effort by the industry, and
state and federal government agencies.

The final rule is scheduled for publication in the June 1 *Federal
Register* and becomes effective June 18.

Subject: Fair Taxes from a Corrupt Government

My husband and I have been married for 42 years. We have 2 children and
2 grandchildren. In other words we are a straight couple receiving tax
benefits for each other and our children over the years. Because we\'ve
always believed that this is a free country we can\'t understand how the
president of this free country is encouraging tax breaks that only apply
to married couples who are \"man and woman\" marriages. We are outraged
that in this \"free country\" it seems that only straight people are
free and couples of the same sex who live together, have a family and
live decent lives are NOT FREE and are not allowed to have the same tax
breaks for their significant other and their children as we are. That
makes this NOT a free country but only free for some. When I see Mr.
Bush quoting the Bible to justify this I have to wonder what happened to
\"separation of church and state\". He uses the Bible and the American
Flag as his tools to turn Americans against those he doesn\'t accept
personally. My husband and I feel that if a couple is gay and provide a
good home for children or even just each other why should they be
treated as inferior by our own government? If a gay couple work hard and
live a decent life why shouldn\'t they have the same tax breaks that we
have. Why shouldn\'t their children get health insurance coverage the
same as mine did? Why should the prejudices of the president have to
carry through to the people he calls \"un-American\" because they don\'t
believe the way he does. Thank God that most of us don\'t or this would
be a country FULL of hatred and bigotry. If you truly believe in God and
you are truly loyal Americans then you would vote for equal taxes for
every couple that lives together and needs benefits for their partners
regardless of gender. If not then we\'re taking this country back to the
days of slavery when blacks were not allowed the same rights as whites.
Or the days when women couldn\'t vote because they weren\'t MEN! I beg
of you to override the president\'s petty bigotry and do the right
thing. Provide equal taxes for any American couple regardless of who
their partner is. If not then the real un-American is YOU! Keep this
country a free country for all Americans regardless of their gender
preference.

Sincerely,

Carol & Seymour Miller

The Dollars to the Classroom Act

**[FACT SHEET]{.underline}**

**What the Dollars to the Classroom Act Does** \-- The Dollars to the
Classroom Act ("Dollars") is a bill that directs federal elementary and
secondary education funding for 31 programs directly to public school
classrooms of this country, requiring that 95 percent of these funds be
used for anything to improve classroom learning. The Dollars to the
Classroom Act, H.R. 3248 in the 105th Congress, passed the House of
Representatives in the fall of 1998, 212-198. H.R. 1494 in the 106th
Congress had 146 cosponsors.

**Why Dollars is Necessary** \-- There needs to be a shift in how
federal education dollars are delivered to our nation's schools, so that
states and local educators receive more funding options. Right now, too
much is siphoned off or delivered with strings attached. Rather than
empowering bureaucrats and tying teachers' hands with heavily regulated
and tightly restricted grant programs, the act will allow educators
greater flexibility to receive money for any of the authorized uses of
31 existing programs and to use it for such initiatives as school
safety, school technology, teacher improvement, and public school
reform.

**Benefits of More Dollars to the Classrooms** \--

-   Sends an additional \$450 to every classroom in America \-- \$10,000
    per public school

-   More public school teachers can be hired for a better
    teacher-student ratio

-   Technology improvements such as access to the Internet can be made

-   Improved education for disadvantaged students could be offered

-   There will be increased parental involvement in their children's
    education

-   Classroom supplies like state-of-the-art microscopes and updated
    books can be purchased

**How Dollars Works \--** The bill consolidates 31 federal education
programs, totaling \$2.87 billion (fiscal year 1999 funding) and sends
the money in a single, flexible block grant to the states. Requiring 95
percent of all federal dollars to be spent on children in the classroom
will send an estimated nearly \$870 million new dollars to public school
classrooms. The bill allows districts to receive consolidated funds,
with the option of continuing the activities and services they carried
out under the previous programs.

**Who Supports Dollars** \-- Local Educators and Superintendents,
Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman Bill Goodling, Speaker
Dennis Hastert, Majority Leader Dick Armey, Majority Whip Tom DeLay,
Education Leaders Council, Association of American School Teachers,
Citizens Against Government Waste, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Republican

The planet Mercury will transit the Sun on Wednesday, November 8, 2006.
The planet Mercury will be seen in silhouette against the brilliant Sun
for the first time since 2003. Our next chance to watch this event will
be in 2016.

Mercury races around the Sun in 88 Earth-days. Its tiny orbit keeps it
so close to the Sun that it\'s tough to observe. Every few years,
however, its orbit aligns with ours and we can watch Mercury silently
glide across the face of the Sun.

If you want to see Mercury in transit, you will need to use a telescope
with a special solar filter. It is not safe to look directly at the Sun;
you will permanently damage your eyesight.

Mercury is quite small---just 3032 miles in diameter. The Sun is 870,000
miles in diameter. It would take 287 Mercury-sized planets lined up in a
row to span the disk of the Sun. Mercury's tiny disk is not visible to
the unaided eye during a transit.

More than 200 amateur astronomy clubs are members of the Night Sky
Network, and many of these clubs will host Mercury Transit outreach
events.

Locally, the \_\_(fill in club name)\_\_ is holding a daylight astronomy
event to observe Mercury's progress across the face of the Sun. Solar
telescopes with special filters will be available to make viewing safe.
"We're looking forward to viewing the transit, and sharing this
experience with the public," said \_\_\_(fill in a name) \_\_\_\_\_,
amateur astronomer.

The \_\_(fill in club name)\_\_ is holding their Mercury Transit event
at \_\_\_(add location information)\_\_\_\_ between the hours of
\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_\_. Come by, and check out the little planet
that lies closest to the Sun!

A glance at the world map below shows where the transit can be observed
worldwide.

**Safety tip: Do not look directly at the Sun as you can permanently
damage your eyesight. Mercury is not visible to the naked eye during the
transit.**

Memo

To: FDA CBER

From: Brenda Alder

CC: .

Date: 11/14/2023

Re: Comments to FDA Document ID: FDA-2008-D-0055-0001: the February 2008
draft Guidance for Industry, "Validation of Growth-Based Rapid
Microbiological Methods for Sterility Testing of Cellular and Gene
Therapy Products"

# Comments

We agree that RMM's are "equal to or greater than" the traditional
methods (21 CFR 610.12) for detecting microorganisms in HCT/P products.
We also agree that detection of microorganisms in HCT/P products needs
to be completed in a much faster time frame than can be accomplished
using the methods described in 21 CFR 610.12.

We also agree that some type of validation (to replace 21CFR 610.12) of
an alternate method for microorganism detection of HCT/P products should
be performed, though we feel that the type and extent of validation
being requested by this draft guidance document is unnecessary and
places undue burden on HCT/P facilities.

We feel it is unnecessary to prepare dilutions of challenge organisms to
test the accuracy, reproducibility and reliability of the RMM method
used by a facility if that facility is successfully participating in CAP
Microbiology testing and if the RMM commercial methods being used has
peer- reviewed published studies that support the data that RMM's are
"as good as or greater than" the methods described in 21 CFR 610.12. Any
cell therapy lab that sends their samples for detection of
microorganisms to a CAP certified lab implementing the appropriate CLSI
standards for RMM should be considered as utilizing "as good as or
greater than" the method defined in 21 CFR 610.12.

We also believe that RMM validation should also be considered an
acceptable alternative for detection of microorganisms for products
regulated solely under section 361 of the PHS Act.
# Solar Orbiter -- Payload Working Group

## Action Completion Form

***[Action ID Number:]{.underline}*** 3.2

***[Responsible Working Group Member:]{.underline}*** R. Harrison

***[Date of Completion:]{.underline}*** 27 November 2002

***[Action:]{.underline}*** To consider the co-alignment requirements of
the instruments, and the absolute pointing accuracy required.

***[Report:]{.underline}***

The Solar Orbiter remote sensing instruments will be hard-mounted
together, and co-pointed to target regions on the Sun. Here, we consider
the co-alignment accuracy required and the accuracy of absolute pointing
required during the operations. We recognise that the thermal variations
in particular will be one factor influencing the co-alignment and also
note that the UVC instrument will have to include some repointing
capability to maintain the solar disc alignment behind the occulting
disc.

The minimum field of view of the remote sensing instruments is 8
arcminutes. The basic desire is to ensure that fields of view of the
different remote sensing instruments have significant overlap. A rule of
thumb suggested for Orbiter is to use approximately one fifth of the
smallest field of view as the required accuracy of co-alignment. We note
that in normal operations, some instruments, such as the EUS, will make
use of small-area images (smaller than the full field of view). However,
with the stated co-alignment accuracy and a pointing calibration, the
target areas can be chosen within the instrument field to ensure
observational alignment during campaigns. Thus, we recommend a
co-alignment of the instruments to an accuracy of 2 arcminutes.

The absolute pointing accuracy during the mission can be defined in a
similar way, i.e. about one fifth of the smallest field of view. Thus,
we define this as 2 arcminutes also.

***[Conclusion:]{.underline}***

The following are recommended:

1.  Instrument co-alignment accuracy = 2 arcminutes.

2.  Absolute pointing accuracy = 2 arcminutes.

Washington, DC 20250

Re: AMS-TM-07-0136

Dear Mr. Pooler:

As an organic cotton producer on the high plains of Texas, [I support
continuing the existing exemption allowing the use of hydrogen
chloride]{.underline} (CAS #7647--01--0) as a seed preparation for
delinting cottonseed for planting.

Delinting of cottonseed is required to remove the lint from the seed so
that it can be planted with mechanical equipment. Disallowing the use of
hydrogen chloride would likely eliminate the production of organic
cotton in the United States, since at this point in time there is no
commercially available alternative to acid delinting.

Availability of planting seed has become an even more difficult issue
since this exemption was first requested in 2004. The small seed company
that had been supplying me with untreated seed has been purchased by one
of the major seed companies, and not only will they not supply untreated
seed, but also have totally discontinued sales of non-genetically
modified varieties, as have most of the other major seed companies.

Therefore, to have non-GMO, untreated planting seed, we now have to
produce our own seed on non-organic farms (or contract with another
farmer to do so\-\--if it is not a protected variety) using the small
supply of certified (treated) non-GMO seed that is still available in
the appropriate varieties. The seed produced in this manner is then
caught at the gin, delinted, and bagged untreated for planting organic
acres the following year.

Compounding all this is the fact that in the last four years a large
number of the independent delinters in the area have gone out of
business because the vast majority of the cottonseed being planted is
genetically modified. This leaves very few delinters to process our
growers' planting seed and these remaining delinters are certainly not
in the position to develop an alternative delinting process.

In conclusion, it is absolutely essential for the organic cotton
industry in the United States that hydrogen chloride continue to be
allowed for delinting cottonseed until an alternative process is
developed and commercially available.

Sincerely,

James L. Wedel
