To Whom it May Concern:

As the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) takes its first steps toward a
2007 reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA IV), I
respectfully submit the following comments regarding the future of this
law.

I am alarmed by the cozy relationship that exists between the drug
industry and the Food and Drug Administration; a relationship whose
existence can be directly attributed to the existence of the
Prescription Drug User Fee Act. Consequently, I do not believe that
there should be a PDUFA IV. Instead, Congress must enact comprehensive
reform to the way in which we fund the FDA\'s budget for drugs.

In May, I introduced the Food and Drug Administration Improvement Act of
2005 (FDAIA, or H.R. 2090). This legislation proposes to prohibit the
FDA from collecting fees paid by the industries it regulates, and would
instead direct those monies to the U.S. Treasury General Fund. The
measure would then establish a mandatory funding stream to support those
FDA activities currently covered by legislation like PDUFA, ensuring
that the agency\'s work would continue uninterrupted despite the funding
change.

I believe that the FDAIA is necessary because of the following serious
problems that exist within PDUFA\'s structure:

-   The Food and Drug Administration depends upon drug companies for
    PDUFA fees, making the agency beholden to one of the industries it
    exists to regulate. As a result, the FDA treats pharmaceutical
    developers as \"clients,\" when it should only have one true
    \"client\" - the American people.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   During each reauthorization of PDUFA, the Food and Drug
    Administration is required to negotiate with drug companies on how
    these fees will be spent. Not only does this process further
    strengthen the inappropriate relationship between agency and
    industry, but it also enables the drug companies to push for rapid
    turnaround of new drugs at a pace that simply is not manageable.

-   In fact, its negotiation of schedules for drug review is forcing the
    FDA to pile excessive work on its investigators, who in turn become
    overburdened and overworked. As result, more and more of this
    crucial work is back-loaded on post-market drug studies.

PDUFA is simply not in the best interests of American consumers, the
federal government, or the drug industry. Congress must act to reverse
the inappropriate relationships that exist between the FDA and its
regulated companies today. That is why I will oppose PDUFA IV, and fight
for the FDA Improvement Act, during this round of negotiations.

Thank you for your attention to my comments. If you are in need of
additional information, your staff may be in touch with Moira Campion of
my office at (202) 225-6335.

Sincerely,

Maurice D. Hinchey

**MPI Speedup of Criticality Calculations**

![](media/image1.wmf)

This graph gives speedup results for a criticality problem on a LANL
Beowulf cluster of 2 GHz processors interconnected by fast Ethernet.
Speedup was determined by the wall-clock time of a sequential
calculation divided by the wall-clock time of a parallel calculation.
The "old" curve was run with MCNPX 2.5.D and demonstrates the poor
parallel performance of criticality problems in previous versions of
MCNP(X). The "new" curve was run with MCNPX 2.5.E and shows the
significant increase in parallel performance for the new communication
algorithm. The "Ratio" curve indicates that this new algorithm increases
speedup by a factor of nearly 10 for 8 CPUs and by more than a factor of
100 for 58 CPUs. The criticality problem used in this timing study is
called Godiva and the input file is given below. Note that each run used
500,000 particles/cycle for 200 total cycles. The sequential run with
2.5.E took 6140s.

September 12, 2006

The National Blind Rehab Conference call on August 30 announced the
formation of the Field Advisory Council (FAC).During the week of
September 5, 2006, the Field Advisory Council (FAC) met at Headquarters.
This was the initial meeting. The members of the group include Jerry
Schutter, George Sands, Bill Wilson, Karen Petty, Bill Johnson and Walt
Werkhoven. The members felt that this was a productive meeting. Bill
Wilson, BROS from Orlando is the secretary for the group and Walt

Important Information Regarding Compensatory Time Off for Employees in a
Travel Status

**HRM Offices: Please provide a copy of this Flyer to your Payroll
Office**

## FLYER 

Leave 05-09

January 28, 2005

### TO: Chief, HRMS 

###  

######## SUBJ: Compensatory Time Off for Employees in a Travel Status 

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued interim regulations
to authorize compensatory time off for time spent by employees in a
travel status away from their official duty station. The interim
regulations amend part 550 of Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, by
adding a new subpart N, Compensatory Time Off for Travel. The Office of
Human Resources and Labor Relations (OHRM/LR) is developing Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) policy to implement these new provisions.
Effective immediately, employees should document their travel time for
crediting purposes (e.g., time to the airport, time waiting for flights,
time from airport to alternate duty stations, etc.). Upon issuance of VA
policy, employees will be able to request compensatory time for all
eligible travel retroactive to January 28, 2005.

You may obtain a copy of OPM's interim regulations at the following
website:
<http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20051800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-1457.pdf>

Please forward any comments about OPM's interim regulations to Katie
McCullough-Bradshaw and Deborah Brodbeck by March 14, 2005, through

¿Me pondré enfermo a causa de la vacuna?

No. La vacuna es muy segura y no se pondrá enfermo a causa de ella.
Algunas personas tienen inflamación y sensibilidad en la zona de la
inyección, pero estos síntomas generalmente desaparecen en un día o dos.

¿Cuándo puedo ponerme la vacuna neumocócica?

Se la puede poner en cualquier época del año. Su médico puede
administrársela cuando vaya a verlo. No se olvide de preguntarle al
respecto.

¿Cuántas inyecciones tengo que ponerme?

La mayor parte de las personas sólo necesita una inyección. De ese modo
se adquiere protección de por vida. Algunas personas necesitan una
inyección de refuerzo después de cinco años.

¿Tengo que pagar la vacuna?

No. Medicare y Medicaid pagan la vacuna.

**BIENNIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING**

**FOR**

**BROADCAST STATION LICENSEES**

Each commercial and noncommercial educational radio and television
broadcast station licensee that is not exempt from the Commission's
biennial ownership reporting program must update its ownership report
(FCC Form 323 or Form 323-E) on the anniversary date of its station's
renewal application filing date. The mandatory electronic filing of the
biennial ownership report for broadcast station licensees has resumed in
calendar year 2003. On or before June 2, 2003, an ownership report (FCC
Form 323 or Form 323-E) should be filed by licensees whose commercial or
noncommercial educational stations are located in the District of
Columbia and the States of Arizona, Idaho, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada,
New Mexico, Ohio, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. At
two-month intervals throughout 2003, the remaining commercial and
noncommercial educational broadcast station licensees will file their
stations' biennial ownership reports.

The biennial filing of FCC Form 323 or Form 323-E can be submitted by
using the Media Bureau's Consolidated Database System (CDBS) electronic
filing system. Paper versions of these ownership report forms will not
be accepted for filing, unless accompanied by an appropriate request for
waiver of the electronic filing requirement. Users can access the
electronic filing system *via* the Internet from the Media Bureau's Web
Site at:

[**http://www.fcc.gov/mb**](http://www.fcc.gov/mb)

Instructions for use of the electronic filing system are available in
the CDBS User's Guide which can be accessed from the electronic filing
web site. Special attention should be given to the details of the
applicant account registration function, form filing functions, and the
fee form handling procedures, if a fee is required. Failure to follow
the procedures in the User's Guide may result in an application or
report form being dismissed, returned, or not considered as officially
filed.

Internet access to the CDBS public access system at the Commission's Web
Site requires a user to have a browser such as Netscape version 3.04 or
Internet Explorer version 3.51, or later.

2001-G-022

PERFORMANCE PERIOD:

12 months - until 6/20/02

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE:

Work will be performed at Auburn University.

SUMMARY OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED:

Previous work, with funding from an FAA grant, has been performed by
Auburn in the area of canine detection odor signatures for explosives
(No. 97-G-020). This agreement will further the work that has previously
been performed.

The overall objective is to expand understanding of how dogs deliver
odorants to the sensory epithelium and how that tissue responds to those
odorants. It is believed that an increased understanding of behavioral,
anatomical, and cellular mechanisms involved in olfaction will improve
detector dog breeding and selection techniques and provide a biological
foundation for development of trace substance detection technology.

Specifically, this work will try to (1) determine air flow patterns
through the nasal cavity by correlating sniff behavior and 3D models of
the nasal cavity's gross anatomy; and (2) characterize the cellular
physiology and biochemistry of the canine olfactory

-   **The Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program (FRPP)**

-   A voluntary federal program that helps farmers and ranchers keep
    their land in agriculture.

-   Reauthorized in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002
    (Farm Bill) to protect working agricultural land from conversion to
    non-agricultural uses.

-   Has provided matching funds to help with purchasing development
    rights in order to keep productive farm and ranchland in
    agricultural uses.

-   From 1996 to the end of FY2003, more than 300,000 acres of farm and
    ranch land have been protected in 42 states.

-   USDA partners with State, tribal, or local governments and
    non-governmental organizations to acquire conservation easements or
    other interests in land from landowners.

-   Under current law, USDA provides up to 50 percent of the fair market
    easement value.

-   To be eligible, farmland must meet certain conditions:

-   Be subject to a pending offer for purchase from a State, tribe, or
    local farmland protection program;

-   Be privately owned;

-   Have a conservation plan for highly erodible land;

-   Be large enough to sustain agricultural production;

-   Be accessible to markets for what the land produces;

-   Have adequate infrastructure and agricultural support services;

-   Have surrounding parcels of land that can support long-term
    agricultural production.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **The Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act**

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Designed to promote the protection of the most threatened farmland.

-   Establishes a federal challenge grant program to assist local
    communities and eligible private organizations in their efforts to
    purchase land development easements.

-   Provides matching federal dollars for preservation efforts that are
    already receiving state, county, **[and]{.underline}** local
    **[or]{.underline}** private funds.

-   Amends the Farm Security Act of 1985 to set aside 15 percent of
    farmland protection funds for cost-share grants (25 percent maximum
    Federal share) to support eligible State agencies, county, and one
    or more eligible entities (local government or private entities) to
    purchase conservation easements.

-   Program encourages states, counties, tribes, local governments and
    private entities to work together to identify the most threatened
    land to obtain the 25% federal match.

-   No new spending authorized, creates a set-aside out of existing
    dollars.

## FORFEITURE ORDER

**Adopted: February 16, 2001** **Released: February 20, 2001**

By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

1.  In this Forfeiture Order ("Order"), we issue a monetary forfeiture
    in the amount of ten thousand dollars (\$10,000) against Dr. John G.

    Office released a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture
    ("NAL") in the amount of eleven thousand dollars (\$11,000) to Dr.
    Pierre. Dr. Pierre has not filed a response to the NAL. Based on the
    information before us, we affirm the assessment of a monetary
    forfeiture in this matter. However, ten thousand dollars (\$10,000)
    is the base amount for this violation.[^2] Therefore, we are
    reducing the forfeiture amount to ten thousand dollars (\$10,000) on
    our own motion.

3.  **ACCORDINGLY,** **IT IS ORDERED THAT**, pursuant to Section 503(b)

    MONETARY FORFEITURE** in the amount of \$10,000 for willful
    violation of the provisions of Section 301 of the Act.

4.  Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for
    in Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules[^5] within 30 days of the
    release of this Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the
    period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of
    Justice for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.[^6]
    Payment may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument,
    payable to the order of the "Federal Communications Commission," to
    the Federal Communications Commission, P.O. Box 73482, Chicago,
    Illinois 60673-7482. The payment should reference NAL/Acct. number
    20013238-0001. Requests for full payment under an installment plan
    should be sent to: Chief, Credit and Debt Management Center, 445
    12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.[^7]

5\. **IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT** this notice shall be sent, by
