**§20.904 Rule 904. Vacating a decision.**

An appellate decision may be vacated by the Board of Veterans' Appeals
at any time upon request of the appellant or his or her representative,
or on the Board's own motion, on the following grounds:

\(a\) *Denial of due process*. Examples of circumstances in which denial
of due process of law will be conceded are:

\(1\) When the appellant was denied his or her right to representation
through action or inaction by Department of Veterans Affairs or Board of
Veterans' Appeals personnel,

\(2\) When a Statement of the Case or required Supplemental Statement of
the Case was not provided, and

\(3\) When there was a prejudicial failure to afford the appellant a
personal hearing. (Where there was a failure to honor a request for a
hearing and a hearing is subsequently scheduled, but the appellant fails
to appear, the decision will not be vacated.)

\(b\) *Allowance of benefits based on false or fraudulent evidence*.
Where it is determined on reconsideration that an allowance of benefits
by the Board has been materially influenced by false or fraudulent
evidence submitted by or on behalf of the appellant, the prior decision
will be vacated only with respect to the issue or issues to which,
within the judgment of the Board, the false or fraudulent evidence was
material. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7104(a))

**Brady Introduces Bill to Help Airlines Weather War**

*H.R. 1380 Provides War Suspension of Airline Fuel Tax*

**Washington, D.C.**- Congressman Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands), whose
district is home to many employees of Houston-based Continental
Airlines, joined today with fellow Texan Pete Sessions (R-Dallas) and
Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-New York City) to introduce legislation
that would help preserve America's critical air transportation
infrastructure.

H.R. 1380, ***The Jet Fuel Tax Suspension Act**,* offers immediate
relief to U.S. air carriers by providing a temporary war suspension of
up to two years on the federal jet fuel tax of 4.3 cents per gallon. The
measure would provide \$700-800 million in relief each year.

"**Like America's highway transportation system, a strong and reliable
air transportation system is critical to our economy. At this point,
with America poised to leave the recession behind, we can ill afford a
rash of airline failures that would throw thousands more out of work and
harm countless communities dependent on tourism, business travel and the
shipping of American goods throughout the world,"** says Brady.

**"Temporarily suspending the jet fuel tax is an effective and immediate
way to get critical life-sustaining relief to carriers and the
communities that depend upon them."**

Brady also supports measures providing prompt federal reimbursement to
airlines for government mandated security measures such as reinforced
cockpit doors, as well as the continuation of War and Terrorism Risk
Insurance assistance Congress provided airlines after September 11.

The airline industry will lose an estimated \$10 billion this year \--
half due to the war on terrorism in Iraq. Brady believes the three
relief measures taken together will help the airline industry weather
the war while keeping pressure on them to make fundamental restructuring
changes needed to return the industry to profitability.

In the past year, spot fuel prices have more than doubled - to \$1.20
per gallon in February \-- an increase not seen since the Persian Gulf
War buildup in the fall of 1990. According to the Air Transport
Association, jet fuel represents the second largest expense to the
airline industry.

Current events are leading many Americans to travel less, crippling the
airline industry. This coupled with increased costs associated with
implementing needed security measures and the rise in jet fuel prices
threatens several carriers with bankruptcy and collapse.

Houston-based Continental Airlines announced the lay off of 1200 more
employees last week.

Brady is serving his fourth term in Congress and serves on the
tax-writing Ways & Means Committee which oversees tax reform, Social
Security, Medicare, international trade, welfare and unemployment
issues.

THE COMMON CARRIER, CABLE SERVICES,

INTERNATIONAL AND WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAUS

EXTEND THE DEADLINE FOR CALEA SECTION 107(c) EXTENSION

PETITIONS UNTIL JUNE 23, 2000

### CC Docket No. 97-213

On April 25, 2000, the Commission issued a Public Notice that provided
instructions for telecommunications carriers (carriers) on filing
petitions for extensions of CALEA's capability requirements, pursuant to
CALEA section 107(c).[^1] In that Public Notice, we encouraged carriers
to participate in the FBI's Flexible Deployment Program, and to file
with their CALEA section 107(c) extension petitions evidence of such
participation.[^2] The *CALEA Section 107(c) Public Notice* also
provided detailed petition drafting instructions to carriers, and
granted to carriers that provided complete and accurate information in
their petitions a preliminary determination of an extension subject to
future review.[^3] To qualify for a preliminary determination of
extension, however, carriers were to file their petitions by May 31,
2000.[^4] Several carriers that participated with the FBI's Flexible
Deployment Program indicated that the letters confirming their
participation and FBI approval of their extension requests have not been
forthcoming in a timely manner, causing them concern over their ability
to make the Commission's May 31, 2000 deadline. Indeed, the FBI's CALEA
Implementation Section confirmed that it is processing a large volume of
carrier submissions, and that the volume of submissions is slowing their
ability to get letters mailed to carriers.

Accordingly, based upon the authority in 47 C.F.R. sections 0.291,
0.261, 0.321, and 0.331 of the Commission's rules, we extend the May 31,
2000 deadline contained in the *CALEA Section 107(c) Public Notice* to
June 23, 2000. Carriers may file petitions with the Commission pursuant
to CALEA section 107(c) until the close-of-business on June 23, 2000 and
receive the preliminary determination treatment contained in the *CALEA
Section 107(c) Public Notice.*

Re: Establishing No-Interest/Dividend Accounts for Members Lacking a
Taxpayer Identification Number.

Dear Ms. Price:

Regional Director Melinda Love asked us to respond to your question of
whether a credit union may establish an account, which does not pay
dividends or interest, for members who do not have a social security
number (SSN) or other taxpayer identification number (TIN). Federal
credit unions (FCUs) may establish a share account that does not pay
dividends but must be careful to comply with Truth in Savings Act (TISA)
disclosure and notice requirements. State-chartered credit unions should
contact their state supervisory agency to determine if a no-dividend
account is permissible and, if so, likewise must comply with TISA
requirements.

FCUs may offer various types of share accounts and must accurately
represent the terms and conditions of their accounts. 12 C.F.R. §701.35.
While FCUs are authorized to pay dividends on share accounts, the
Federal Credit Union Act and NCUA regulations do not require dividends
to be paid on every type of share account. 12 U.S.C. §1763. We note the
Office of General Counsel has previously stated an account with a
no-dividend feature would eliminate the need for a TIN. OGC Op. 02-0250
(Feb. 22, 2002) (available on the agency website).

Federally insured credit unions will need to ensure compliance with the
notice and disclosure requirements of NCUA's TISA regulations and ensure
no-dividend accounts are distinguished from regular share accounts. 12
C.F.R. Part 707. Without a TIN or SSN, federally insured credit unions
must also ensure their customer identification program adequately
addresses the documentation required for compliance with requirements of
the Bank Secrecy Act. 12 C.F.R. §748.2. We hope you find this
information helpful.

Sincerely,

Sheila A. Albin

**November 8, 2007**

**Concerning**

**S. 86, Fossil Creek Wild and Scenic River Act of 2007**

Mr. Chairman and members of the subcommittee, I appreciate the
opportunity to appear before you today to provide the Department's view
on the Fossil Creek Wild and Scenic River Act of 2007.

With some minor amendments, the Department of Agriculture strongly
recommends that S. 86 be enacted.

S. 86 would amend section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 USC
1274(a)) to designate Fossil Creek, a tributary of the Verde River in
the State of Arizona, as a component of the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers System. The segments to be designated by S. 86 include the river
from its source to its confluence with the Verde Wild and Scenic River.
S. 86 provides allowance for specified fish restoration activities and
stream flow monitoring.

Fossil Creek has been impacted since the early 20^th^ century by the
Childs-Irving Hydropower Project which diverted essentially all the
water from Fossil Springs for power production. In 2004, as a result of
a unique collaboration among Arizona Public Services (APS), the Forest
Service, tribes, environmental groups and others, the Childs-Irving
Hydropower Project license was surrendered with a plan to decommission
the supporting infrastructure and restore flows to Fossil Creek.

APS supported the decommissioning of this project to give the residents
of the State a perennial stream in the desert that possesses rare
regional and national values. Fossil Creek, with its consistent spring
flow, harbors the endangered desert fish, contains unique geologic
formations, and provides an opportunity to share the prehistory and
history of central Arizona.

S. 86 recognizes the significant efforts made by Federal, State, tribal
and local entities to return this tributary to a free-flowing condition.
Passage of this bill ensures the protection of this tributary for future
generations.

We would like to work with the Subcommittee on ensuring consistency in
the language of this bill, and the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and
Forest Service reports and analyses of Fossil Creek.

In addition, the uppermost point of the Fossil Creek tributary is
difficult to identify. We would like to work with the Subcommittee to
provide a description of this beginning point. We also would like to
ensure that the designated river segments are accurately classified. Due
to the existence of the Fossil Springs Dam, the 16.8 mile stretch of
Fossil Creek that would be designated includes a 7.5 mile stretch that
fits the description for a recreation river, rather than a scenic river.

This concludes my prepared statement and I would be pleased to answer
any questions you may have.
**Intergovernmental Advisory Board to Host Webinar on JRA**

The Intergovernmental Advisory Board will host a Webinar on Thursday,
August 14, at 2:00 P.M. EDT. The topic of the Webinar will be Justice
Reference Architecture (JRA). The upcoming Webinar will focus on a
collaborative effort with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the
Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global). This
collaborative effort, supported by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA), was created to help address ongoing interoperability challenges
between the approximately 100,000 justice agencies at the local, state,
tribal, and federal levels by utilizing recent advancements in
technology and architectural design. Within these agencies, there is a
need to share information across their various information systems and
with external partners as well. This creates multiple layers of
interoperability challenge because of differences in hardware, software,
networks, and business rules.

The Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) initiative was created
following the success of the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) and
subsequently, the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), which
addresses data standards for information exchange across the justice
community. The success of these models led to the need to address other
barriers to interoperability beyond data standardization. The JRA offers
a service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution that enables
interoperable data sharing services, guides implementation, and
facilitates collaboration among disparate communities. The goal of the
JRA is to enable efficiency and agility, avoid incompatibility of system
architectures, and guide the private sector in developing adaptive
products by establishing a framework based on consensus national
standards such as the OASIS SOA Reference Model. By adhering to JRA
guidelines and adopting reusable services, the justice community will be
more effectively positioned to address the changing threats and emerging
challenges faced by our justice and public safety officials.

This meeting will feature a presentation by Thomas M. Clarke, Vice
President of Research and Technology for the National Center for State
Courts. Mr. Clarke is the former CIO of the Washington state courts. He
participated in the inaugural project to establish an enterprise
architecture for Washington state government. Since 2005,\
Mr. Clarke has led the research and technology practice at the National
Center for State Courts. As a national court consultant, he speaks
frequently on topics relating to service-oriented architecture,
enterprise architecture, and national technology standards for
government.

Mr. Clarke is the Cochair of the National Information Exchange Model
(NIEM) Technical Advisory Committee (NTAC), and the Chair of the
DOJ-sponsored Global Infrastructure and Standards Working Group, which
includes the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) initiative. He is also
the former Cochair of the OASIS Technical Committee on court electronic
filing standards.

**Fundamental Physics**

Wolfgang Ketterle was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and
Science. As one of the co-creators of a Bose-Einstein condensed gas of
atom, Professor Ketterle helped open a new area of atomic physics. He
carried out a series of innovative studies of Bose-Einstein condensates
on the dynamics of formation, the propagation of sound, Feshbach
resonances, magnetic domains in spinor condensates, and coherence, the
last of which led to the creation of the atom laser.

Wolfgang Ketterle and his group at MIT published two papers in Physical
Review Letters. C. Raman, M. Köhl, R. Onofrio, D.S. Durfee, C.E.
Kuklewicz, Z. Hadzibabic, and W. Ketterle: Evidence for a critical
velocity in a Bose-Einstein condensed gas. Phys. Rev. Lett. 83,
2502-2505 (1999). This paper reports the study of dissipation when a
blue detuned laser beam was moved through the condensate at different
velocities. Strong heating was observed only above a critical velocity.
This observation is consistent with theoretical predictions of a
critical velocity for the onset of vortex nucleation.

The second paper: D.M. Stamper-Kurn, A.P. Chikkatur, A. Görlitz, S.
Inouye, S. Gupta, D.E. Pritchard, and W. Ketterle: Excitation of phonons
in a Bose-Einstein condensate by light scattering. Phys. Rev. Lett. 83,
2876-2879 (1999). This paper describes how phonons were \"optically
imprinted\" into a Bose-Einstein condensate by exposing it to a standing
wave of light. The phonons were created by stimulated scattering of a
photon from one laser beam into another. The excitation strength of this
process is the structure factor. A significant reduction of this line
strength compared to free particles revealed the presence of correlated
pair excitations in the condensate.

**§3.371 Presumptive service connection for tuberculous disease;**

**wartime and service on or after January 1, 1947.**

\(a\) *Pulmonary tuberculosis.*

\(1\) Evidence of activity on comparative study of X-ray films showing
pulmonary tuberculosis within the 3-year presumptive period provided by
§3.307(a)(3) will be taken as establishing service connection for active
pulmonary tuberculosis subsequently diagnosed by approved methods but
service connection and evaluation may be assigned only from the date of
such diagnosis or other evidence of clinical activity.

\(2\) A notation of inactive tuberculosis of the reinfection type at
induction or enlistment definitely prevents the grant of service
connection under §3.307 for active tuberculosis, regardless of the fact
that it was shown within the appropriate presumptive period.

\(b\) *Pleurisy with effusion without obvious cause.* Pleurisy with
effusion with evidence of diagnostic studies ruling out obvious
nontuberculous causes will qualify as active tuberculosis. The
requirements for presumptive service connection will be the same as
those for tuberculous pleurisy.

\(c\) *Tuberculous pleurisy and endobronchial tuberculosis.* Tuberculous
pleurisy and endobronchial tuberculosis fall within the category of
pulmonary tuberculosis for the purpose of service connection on a
presumptive basis. Either will be held incurred in service when
initially manifested within 36 months after the veteran's separation
from service as determined under §3.307(a)(2).

\(d\) *Miliary tuberculosis.* Service connection for miliary
tuberculosis involving the lungs is to be determined in the same manner
as for other active pulmonary tuberculosis.

**Davis Introduces Federal Agency Data Privacy Protection Act**

*Bill will strengthen Federal agency regulations to protect sensitive
and personal data*

(Washington, DC) -- Representative Jo Ann Davis introduced the Federal
Agency Data Privacy Protection Act, (H.R. 516), which will require
Federal agencies to restrict access to sensitive material such as social
security numbers, criminal, medical, tax records, and other personal
information.  This bill will also help prevent government contractors
from accessing sensitive data that is not relevant to their work.  This
bill responds to the recent problems with missing and/or stolen
information from several Federal agencies. 

"It is extremely important for Americans to know that the personal and
sensitive information they entrusted to the Government is secure and
protected," Davis said. "The bill I have introduced will require that
sensitive data maintained by the Federal Government be secured through
rigorous encryption that is recognized by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology.  There is no reason why this information
shouldn't be protected with the most secure technology available," she
continued.

H.R. 516 also outlines the new encryption key requirements on Federal
computer systems.  Every six months, this key would be changed to
provide further protection and security measures.  Further, Federal
employees would only have access to sensitive data if they have at least
a "secret" level security clearance, while at work, and on government
property.  If government workers need access to sensitive information
off of government property, the Inspector General of the agency must
approve the material transportation.

"These new requirements will help protect personal information and other
sensitive records from fraud and abuse," Davis said.  "It is important
to protect the privacy of Federal agency data and also enforce these new
measures to adequately provide security and controlled access to
information located within the Federal government," Davis stated.

Currently, the Federal Agency Data Privacy Protection Act, H.R. 516 has
been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform.
