RE: The tariff classification of food products from Belgium

Dear Mr. DeCastro:

In your letter dated August 31, 2000, on behalf of World Finer Foods,
Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Three samples, ingredients breakdowns, and descriptive literature were
submitted with your letter. The samples were examined and disposed of.
Each product is described as an "Organic Compact Food," and consists of
a sealed, clear plastic film package of dry, uncooked, non-egg pasta or
steam-cooked couscous, and a sealed foil pouch containing a dry sauce
preparation. The pasta is a product of Belgium, the couscous is made in
Italy, and the sauce preparations are made in Germany. The components
are packaged together in Belgium. The article identified as Pasta with
Mushrooms Flavoured with White Truffle is packed in a box containing 100
grams, net weight. Pasta with Vegetables and Basil weighs 70 grams, net
weight, and Couscous with Vegetables and Coriander is put up in a
container holding 95 grams, net weight.

The applicable subheading for the Pasta with Mushrooms Flavoured with
White Truffle and the Pasta with Vegetables and Basil will be
1902.19.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for pasta, whether or not cooked or stuffed...uncooked
pasta...other...other, including pasta packaged with sauce preparations.
The rate of duty will be 6.4 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the Couscous with Vegetables and Coriander
will be 1902.40.0000, HTS, which provides for couscous, whether or not
prepared... couscous. The rate of duty will be 6.4 percent ad valorem.

Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1304),
provides, in general, that all articles of foreign origin imported into
the United States must be legibly, conspicuously, and permanently marked
to indicate the English name of the country of origin to an ultimate
purchaser in the United States. The implementing regulations to 19
U.S.C. 1304 are set forth in Part 134, Customs Regulations (19 CFR Part
134). The samples you have submitted do not appear to be properly marked
with the country of origin. You may wish to discuss the matter of
country of origin marking with the Customs import specialist at the
proposed port of entry.

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
National Import Specialist Stanley Hopard at 212-637-7065.

Optical Trapping and Manipulation of Nanoparticles

A strongly focused laser beam can trap and manipulate small particles in
a technique that is called \"optical tweezers.\" Applications of optical
tweezers involving micron-sized transparent particles, such as glass or
plastic spheres, are common; but little work has been done with
nanoparticles in optical tweezers. The difficulty is that the trapping
force for particles smaller than the wavelength of light is typically
proportional to the particle volume. However, sub-nanometer atoms can be
trapped by tuning the laser close to a strong resonance transition where
the optical response is enhanced. Building upon our previous work in
laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms, we have recently begun work
in optical tweezer traps for particles. To trap 1--100 nm particles, we
plan to take advantage of the resonant enhancement of the optical
response of particles, in analogy with atom traps. There are many
potential candidates, such as metallic nanoparticles, metal-dielectric
nanoshells, quantum dot nanocrystals, chromophore-doped nanospheres, and
carbon nanotubes. Many of these resonances also depend on the size and
shape of the particles. Exploiting these dependences would allow us to
use the tweezers facility to sort particles by size, shape, or color.
Optical tweezers can not only be used to assemble and test nano-scale
sensors and devices, but the ability to selectively manipulate
nanoparticles based upon their size, shape, or color also would enhance
our ability to incorporate functionality into the devices or sensors.
Other nanometrology applications include measurement of picoNewton
forces on particles and nanometer displacements of particles.

Dear Mr. Crago:

In your letter dated May 12, 2008, on behalf of Family Dollar Store, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.

The "Santa Windsock" and the "Penguin Windsock" are made of 100% nylon
and measure approximately 26" in length. The "Santa Windsock" is dressed
in traditional Santa attire. The "Penguin Windsock" is wearing a Santa
hat and a white spotted red scarf. Both items feature hanging loops on
top so that they may be hung outside the home. The items are marketed
and intended to help create a festive environment around the home during
the Christmas holiday.

The "Snowman Winsock" is made of 100% nylon and measures approximately
26" in length. The "Snowman Winsock" is wearing a green and red stripped
hat, with a red scarf and blue mittens. The item features a hanging loop
on top for hanging outside the house.

The applicable subheading for "Santa Windsock" and "Penguin Windsock",
item \# A072BA02062, will be 9505.10.2500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Festive, carnival or
other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke
articles; parts and accessories thereof: Christmas ornaments: Other:
Other." The rate of duty will be Free.

The applicable subheading for "Snowman Windsock", item \# A072BA02062,
will be 6307.90.9889, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), which provides for "other made up textile articles, other." The
rate of duty will be 7% ad valorem.

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

**[Pfizer CRADA]{.underline}**

As part of the annual progress report and implementation plan for the
CGMP initiative, "Pharmaceutical cGMPS for the 21^st^ Century --- A
Risk-Based Approach," the Agency announced the development of a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Pfizer, Inc.
The purpose of the collaboration is to investigate the utility of
chemical imaging in the measurement, evaluation, and control of various
pharmaceutical processes. Recent advances in chemical imaging technology
make it possible to acquire and analyze high-resolution chemical images
rapidly. Chemical imaging can now be applied to process monitoring and
control. Such modern chemical-imaging tools can offer novel, efficient
approaches to ensuring pharmaceutical quality.

## NSF IAG

The FDA is collaborating with the National Science Foundation\'s Center
for Pharmaceutical Processing Research (CPPR) in support of the
objectives of the PAT and cGMPs initiatives. The mission of the Center
for Pharmaceutical Process Research is to foster an interdisciplinary
approach to pharmaceutical processing-related research, to catalyze
interaction between industrial and academic scientists, and to make the
application of a basic science approach to formulation manufacture of
drug products an integral part of pharmaceutical education. This
collaboration is intended to expand the Agency\'s scientific foundation
in the area of innovative pharmaceutical manufacturing technology. We
believe this collaboration will help the Agency develop and implement
sound, science-based policies with regard to the review and inspection
of current and innovative systems for monitoring and controlling
pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Portland, Historic Preservation through Technology

U.S. General Services Administration

The Historic Preservation through Technology project describes the
upgrading of the HVAC system in a historic building while preserving and
reusing its historic qualities. The existing HVAC systems in the U.S.
Customhouse in Portland, ME, consisted of an oil-fired boiler and a
chiller with an air-cooled condenser unit. Because the building occupied
the entire site, the condenser was located in interior mechanical space
vented to the outside. There was also a 6,000 gallon, single walled oil
tank for the boiler that extended beyond the property line, posing an
environmental risk. The interior condensing unit used considerable space
and, when not operating, allowed for infusion of vehicle emissions from
the street. To address these problems the project team investigated
alternative solutions and proposed a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP)
system.

The team justified this solution with a life cycle cost analysis, and
although initial costs were more than the replacement of the existing
system, the project was authorized. In the space freed up by the removal
of the interior condenser, a natural gas fired emergency generator was
installed to reduce the building electrical load during high usage
periods, in addition to providing emergency power. The Customhouse,
built in 1877, used a convection system for ventilation, consisting of
12 vent shafts. These shafts, which were sealed, have been reopened,
ducted and are now used as the interior air distribution system, taking
a feature from the past and reusing it in the present. The new systems'
life cycle cost savings is based primarily on energy use. It was
projected to save 30 percent over a conventional system. Current data
indicates a savings in excess of 40 percent.

This is the second GSHP system installed in Maine. It demonstrates that
this technology will work in the New England climate. This project is
being used as a prototype for a larger project, the new U.S. Courthouse
in Springfield, MA, which will use a 23 well system.

**Bridging for Courthouse Construction**

**General Services Administration**

**Pacific Rim Region**

GSA's Pacific Rim Region used the bridging approach for the procurement
of design and construction services on the new U.S. Courthouse in Las
Vegas, NV. Bridging combines concepts from the traditional construction
and design/build processes. In bridging, the building owner contracts
for a design architect and a construction manager that define project
requirements and develop the solicitation for a design/build firm.
Through the design/build process, the owner's architect and construction
manager review design concepts and specifications and monitor
construction performance to ensure it conforms to the project
requirements.

**License Renewal Filing Window Reopened**

**For Station KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, CA**

All television license renewal applications for California television
stations, including KTLA-TV, were due to be filed with the Commission on
or before August 1, 2006. Petitions to Deny those applications were due
on or before November 1, 2006. However, the KTLA-TV license renewal
application was not filed until August 11, 2006, due to malfunctions in
the Commission's electronic filing system. *See Public Notice*, DA
06-1571, released August 1, 2006.

In November, 2006, several Petitions to Deny and Informal Objections
were received raising issues pertinent to renewal of the KTLA-TV
license. The Commission believes that a full and complete record should
be assembled with respect to the KTLA-TV license renewal application.
The opportunity for additional public comment would facilitate this
process.

Accordingly, the window for filing formal Petitions to Deny or other
comments with respect to the KTLA-TV license renewal application is
reopened for a period of 30 days, commencing upon the release of this
public notice. All filings should be clearly captioned "In the Matter of
the Application for Renewal of Broadcast Station License of KTLA-TV."

**ATTACHMENT 3**

**SAMPLE TRIBAL LAND BIDDING CREDIT CALCULATIONS**

**Method for calculating the credit**. The credit is calculated by using
the total number of square kilometers of qualifying tribal land to be
served in the market and then applying the credit limit \"cap\" based on
the winning bid.

Gross Credit[^1] = \$300,000 + (Total square kilometers - 518) \*
(\$1,500/2.59)

*Where*:

-   \$300,000 is the amount toward the first 518 square kilometers;

-   (Total square kilometers -518) is the number of square kilometers
    exceeding 518; and

-   \$1,500/2.59 is the amount toward the credit for each square
    kilometer exceeding 518.

  ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
  If high bid is...                   Then Net Credit after application
                                      of cap is...

  \<= \$1,000,000                     Not to exceed High Bid \* (0.5)

  \> \$1,000,000 and \<= \$2,000,000  Not to exceed \$500,000

  \> \$2,000,000                      Not to exceed High Bid \* (0.25)
  ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------

**Example #1**. Suppose the winning bid in a future auction for EA 31
was \$750,000. Upon filing its long form application the winning bidder
elects to seek a credit with respect to the Big Cypress Reservation (214
square km in EA 31) and the Miccosukee Reservation (332 square
kilometers in EA 31).

Total square km in EA 31 towards credit = 214 + 332 = 546

Gross Credit = \$300,000 + (546-518) \* (\$1,500/2.59) = \$316,216.21

Net Credit (after application of 50% cap) = [\$316,216.21]{.underline}

**Example #2**. Suppose the winning bid in a future auction for BEA 109
was \$1,500,000. Upon filing its long form application the winning
bidder elects to seek a credit with respect to the Fond du Lac
Reservation (438 square km in BEA 109).

Total square km in BEA 109 towards credit = 438

Gross Credit = \$300,000

Net Credit (after application of \$500,000 cap) =
[\$300,000]{.underline}

**Example #3**. Suppose the winning bid in a future auction for EA 107
was \$3,000,000. Upon filing its long form application the winning
bidder elects to seek a credit with respect to all qualifying tribal
lands in the EA, *i.e*., the Leech Lake Reservation (2,185 square km in
EA 107), the Red Lake Reservation (2,686 square km in EA 107), and the
White Earth Reservation (370 square km in EA 107).

Total square km in EA 107 towards credit = 2,185 + 2,686 + 370 = 5,241

Gross Credit = \$300,000 + (5,241-518) \* (\$1,500/2.59) =
\$3,035,328.10.

Net Credit (after application of 25% cap) = [\$750,000]{.underline}

[^1]: Where applicable, the final gross credit will be rounded to the
    nearest cent.
