Nanostructured carbon materials have been focused recently due to their
important applications in catalysis, separation, and sensing. Here, we
focused on the templated synthesis of functional nanoporous carbons.
Hexagonally ordered FMC materials show high surface area (\~2000m^2^/g),
high pore volume (\>2.00cc/g), and highly uniformed pore diameter
(3.5nm). Pore walls showed graphic sheets. Heteroatoms on the carbon
surface increase their wettability to water and give selectivity toward
specific metal wastes. Specially, sulfur-functional mesoporous carbons
showed very high adsorption capacity and selectivity toward mercury over
other heavy metal ions. We will discuss salt, temperature, pH, and other
metal effects in detail.

**FACT SHEET: HOW NORTH DAKOTANS WOULD BE AFFECTED BY PRIVATIZING SOCIAL
SECURITY**

-   North Dakota ranks fifth in the nation in percentage of population
    age 65 or older.

-   Currently, about 114,000 North Dakotans receive monthly Social
    Security benefits, including about 71,000 retired workers, 10,000
    disabled workers, and 15,400 widows/widowers and others (Social
    Services Administration).

-   Approximately 22 percent of North Dakota adults receive Social
    Security benefits, including 25 percent of all women and 19 percent
    of men (National Women's Law Center).

-   In 2003, the typical North Dakotan's retirement benefit was
    approximately \$895 a month---about \$10,740 annually (Institute for
    America's Future).

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   North Dakota widows who now receive an average of \$811 a month in
    Social Security would get only \$446 per month under the President's
    plan, even with proceeds from the private accounts (National Women's
    Law Center).

-   A typical North Dakota 20-year-old that starts paying into Social
    Security in 2005 can expect to see a cut of \$152,000 over the
    course of an average 21-year retirement (Center for Economic and
    Policy Research).

-   Fifty-six percent of North Dakota seniors would be in poverty
    without Social Security, compared to 10 percent who live in poverty
    even with Social Security (The Center on Budget and Policy
    Priorities).

-   Approximately 39,000 North Dakota seniors are lifted above the
    federal poverty line annually (\$9,060/\$11,418 for an elderly
    single/couple) (The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities).

RE: The tariff classification of a woman\'s shirt from the Philippines

Dear Mr. Makalou:

In your letter dated April 22, 2003, you requested a ruling on tariff
classification. The sample submitted with your request will be returned
to you under separate cover.

Style 54-100602 (missy) is a woman's shirt constructed from 98 percent
cotton and 2 percent spandex woven fabric. The shirt features long
sleeves with buttoned cuffs, a collar, two pocket below the waist and a
full front zippered opening. This garment will also be imported in
petite sizes under style number 73-102130.

The applicable subheading for style 54-100602 will be 6211.42.0056,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments,
women's or girls': of cotton: blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses,
sleeveless tank styles and similar upper body garments excluded from
heading 6206: other. The rate of duty will be 8.2 percent ad valorem.

Style 54-100602 falls within textile category designation 341. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of the Philippines
are currently subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa
status are the result of international agreements that are subject to
frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current
information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment,
the [Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas]{.underline}, which is
available at our Web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, the designated
textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa
and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be
affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R.).

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 Patricia Schiazzano at 646-733-3051.

**ORDER**

**Adopted: November 16, 2001 Released: November 21, 2001**

By the Acting Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable
Services Bureau:

1\. In this Order we consider a complaint filed with the Federal
Communications Commission (\"Commission\") against the cable programming
services tier (\"CPST\") rates charged by the above-referenced operator
(\"Operator\") in the community referenced above. At the time the
complaint was filed, the Commission was authorized to review the CPST
rates of cable systems not subject to effective competition to ensure
that rates charged are not unreasonable.[^1]

2\. Our review of the record reveals that the single complaint filed
against Operator's rates was filed by a subscriber who received only the
basic tier. This finding is supported by the subscriber's bill attached
to the complaint which showed only a charge for a single basic tier.
Therefore, the complaint does not trigger the Commission's jurisdiction.
Consequently, we will dismiss the complaint.

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.32l of the
Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 0.321, that the complaint referenced
herein against the CPST rates charged by Operator in the community
referenced above, IS DISMISSED.

Somerset, N.J. 08873-1101

RE: The tariff classification of assorted toys from China

Dear Ms. Markey-Wohar:

In your letter dated October 14, 2000 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

The first item #04230 is "Soft Stacking Cups." The cups range in size
allowing the smallest one to fit inside the next larger one, and so on,
until all are nested within the largest cup. The soft cups are made of
foam and covered in textile material. They may be nested or stacked and
are designed for children 6 months of age and up.

The "Soft Build A Ball" (no item number indicated) consists of textile
covered crescent shaped pieces that attach onto a plastic spindle core.
The fabric pieces have notched crevices that secure to the spindle with
a little pressure from the child. The pieces are removable for repeated
building fun.

The next three products are assortments of water toys referred to as
"Squirtees." The items are all made of soft molded plastic and are
hollow inside. Each product has an animated face with a tiny hole in the
mouth to permit ingestion of water that spurts out when squeezed. The
"Squirtees" include:

Item #04628, "Sports Locker Squirtees" which consists of objects that
depict a baseball, soccerball, football, basketball and baseball bat.

The "Shell Collection Squirtees," item #04630, which portray a dragon,
starfish, whale, octopus and mermaid.

Item #04629, "Whale Collection Squirtees," which resemble a lobster,
frog, alligator,

shark and penguin.

The applicable subheading for the "Soft Stacking Cups," item #04230,
will be 9503.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other toys, put up in sets or outfits, and
parts and accessories thereof. The rate of duty will be free.

The applicable subheading for the "Soft Build A Ball" and "Sports Locker
Squirtees" (item #04628), will be 9503.90.0045, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other toys:
other: other toys and models. The rate of duty will be free.

The applicable subheading for the "Shell Collection Squirtees," item
#04630 and "Whale Collection Squirtees," item #04629 will be
9503.49.0025, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for toys representing animals or non-human creatures:
other: toys. The rate of duty will be free.

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

RE: The tariff classification of a wooden flower craft kit from China

Dear Mr. Crago:

In your letter dated May 29, 2008 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.

A sample of the product to be classified was submitted with your ruling
request. The product is identified as the "Arts & Crafts Set,
Do-It-Yourself Memo Holder" item \# A068KA00779. The set contains one 2
mm thick x 4.25" wide x 6" long sheet of plywood die cut with various
shapes that make up parts of a flower and other decorative articles. In
addition, the set contains four small plastic containers of paints in
primary colors, a paint brush, a small tube of glue and a 1-1/2" long
flexible magnetic strip. The contents are packaged in a printed
cardboard box for retail sale.

The various die cut wooden parts are designed to be assembled together
to make a flower with petals and other decorative articles. The glue is
provided to glue the parts together, and the paint and paintbrush are
included to finish the articles. The magnetic strip can be added to one
finished article. All of the components of the wood craft kit are
intended to be used together and constitute a set for tariff
classification purposes. The essential character of the set is imparted
by the die cut unassembled wood flower and other decorative articles.

The applicable subheading for the "Arts & Crafts Set, Do-It-Yourself
Memo Holder" item \# A068KA00779, will be 4420.10.0000, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for
statuettes and ornaments, of wood. The rate of duty will be 3.2 percent
ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.

**NOTIFICATION**

[Addendum]{.underline}

The following communication, dated 30 May 2006, is being circulated at
the request of the Delegation of the United States.

Premanufacture Notification Exemption for Polymers; Amendment of Polymer
Exemption Rule to Exclude Certain Perfluorinated Polymers; Reopening of
Comment Period

SUMMARY: This document reopens the public comment period originally
established for the proposed rule issued in the Federal Register on 7
March 2006 (71 FR 11484) (FRL-7735-5). In that document, EPA proposed to
amend the polymer exemption rule which provides an exemption from the
premanufacture notification (PMN) requirements of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA), to exclude from eligibility polymers containing as
an integral part of their composition, except as impurities, certain
perfluoroalkyl moieties consisting of a CF3- or longer chain length.

DATES: We will consider all comments that we receive on or before **31
July 2006**.

**CARRYOVER OF**

**UNUSED FEDERAL UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUNDS**

**FOR FUNDING YEAR 2008**

**CC Docket No. 02-6**

Pursuant to section 54.709(a)(3) of the Commission's rules,[^1] on May
2, 2008, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) submitted
projections of demand and administrative expenses for the federal
universal service fund for the third quarter of 2008.[^2] According to
USAC's projections, \$600 million in unused funds from Funding Years
2002 through 2004 is available to carry forward to increase
disbursements to schools and libraries via the schools and libraries
universal service mechanism.[^3] Section 54.507(a)(2) of the
Commission's rules states, in pertinent part, that "all funds that are
collected and that are unused from prior years shall be available for
use in the next full funding year of the schools and libraries mechanism
in accordance with the public interest and notwithstanding the annual
cap."[^4]

Consistent with the Commission's rules, the Wireline Competition Bureau
announces that \$600 million in unused funds will be carried forward
from Funding Years 2002, 2003 and 2004 to increase disbursements to
schools and libraries in Funding Year 2008 in excess of the annual
cap.[^5]

For further information, please contact Alex Minard, Wireline
Competition Bureau at (202) 418-1500 or TTY (202) 418-0484.

RE: Docket No. AMS-TMD-08-0021

As the petitioner for Tragacanth gum, Wizard's Cauldron asks the NOSB to
approve Tragacanth as a reasonable addition to the allowed
water-extracted gums provided in the NOP National List Section 205.606.

Tragacanth is a natural, exudate gum very much of the same class as gum
Arabic (acacia gum) which is listed. From growth, to harvesting, to
processing, to functionality, the two gums (Arabic and Tragacanth) are
almost the same.

Both gum Arabic and Tragacanth are used in the production of dressings
and sauces as an emulsifier. Though they both perform admirably, each
has its own application depending on the other ingredients used,
processing methods, and use of heat. In many applications, Tragacanth
provides a superior emulsification without adding undesirable traits
such as "stringiness."

I wish to thank the NOP and the NOSB for all its work on behalf of the
organic community. Thank you, especially, for your consideration of this
request.

Thank you,

**§3.505 Filipino veterans and their survivors; benefits at the
full-dollar rate.**

The effective date of discontinuance of compensation or dependency and
indemnity compensation for a Filipino veteran or his or her survivor
under §3.42 will be the earliest of the dates stated in this section.
Where an award is reduced, the reduced rate will be payable the day
following the date of discontinuance of the greater benefit.

\(a\) If a veteran or survivor receiving benefits at the full-dollar
rate under §3.42 is physically absent from the U.S. for a total of 183
days or more during any calendar year, VA will reduce benefits to the
rate of \$0.50 for each dollar authorized under the law, effective on
the 183rd day of absence from the U.S.
