(Norfolk, Virginia) )

**[REPORT AND ORDER]{.underline}**

**(Proceeding Terminated)**

**Adopted: September 7, 2000 Released: September 8, 2000**

By the Chief, Video Services:

1\. At the request of WTKR-TV, Inc. (\"WTKR\"), licensee of station
WTKR-TV, NTSC Channel 3, Norfolk, Virginia, the Commission has before it
the [Notice of Proposed Rule Making]{.underline}, 15 FCC Rcd 7284
(2000), proposing the substitution of DTV Channel 40 for DTV Channel 58
for TV station WTKR at Norfolk. WTKR filed comments stating its
intention to apply for DTV Channel 40, if allotted. No other comments
were filed.

2\. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV
Channel 40 for DTV Channel 58 since it will enable station WTKR to
continue to broadcast on its transitional in-core DTV channel after the
transition period has ended. DTV Channel 40 can be allotted to Norfolk,
Virginia, as proposed in compliance with the principle community
coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) at coordinates (36-48-56 N.
and 76-28-00 W.). In addition, we find that this channel is acceptable
under the 2 percent criterion for *de minimis* impact that is applied in
evaluating requests for modification of initial DTV allotments under
Section 73.623(c)(2) for station WTKR-TV with the following
specifications:

DTV DTV power Antenna DTV Service

[State & City]{.underline} [Channel]{.underline} [(kW)]{.underline}
[HAAT (m)]{.underline} [Pop. (thous.)]{.underline}

VA Norfolk 40 1000 313 1761

3\. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i),
5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283 of the Commission\'s
Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective October 23, 2000, the DTV Table of
Allotments, Section 73.622(b) of the Commission\'s Rules, IS AMENDED,
with respect to the community listed below, to read as follows:

[City]{.underline} [Channel No.]{.underline}

Norfolk, Virginia 38, 40, 46

4\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That within 45 days of the effective date of
this *[Order]{.underline}*, WTKR-TV, Inc. shall submit to the Commission
a minor change application for a construction permit (FCC Form 301)
specifying DTV Channel 40 in lieu of DTV Channel 58 for station WTKR-TV
at Norfolk, Virginia.

5\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

6\. For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Pam
Blumenthal, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600.

*Pesticides; Notice of Availability*

**60-Day Extension Request for Notice and Comment Period**

Dear Mr. Martin or To Whom It May Concern:

Friends of the Earth (FoE) applauds the agency for opening a docket on
our group's petition and working to address the important issue of
nanosilver.

FoE intends on fully participating in the notice and comment process and
welcomes this and any other opportunities to communicate with the agency
on this topic.

We write at this time to respectfully request a 60-day extension of the
January 20, 2009 deadline for public comment on the petition, to March
21, 2009. As the agency has recognized, this is an important issue and
as such the agency should gather as much information as possible about
its next steps from all interested parties. Between now and January 20th
is a very busy transitional time for many interested parties and we are
concerned that the current deadline will not be sufficient for some
parties to provide comment. The petition and nano-silver issue present
many complicated legal and scientific issues and meaningful public input
will require a substantial amount of time and effort. The requested
extension is necessary to provide interested parties an appropriate
opportunity to develop meaningful comments on the petition.

In addition, as the agency is aware, January 20, 2009 is the official
transition day to the new Obama Administration. The new administration
will undoubtedly have many other pressing priorities and we are
concerned this issue will fall between the cracks. Extending the
deadline will allow comments to also be received by the new
administration.

Respectfully submitted,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Todd Suess 605/673-2288 ext.1221

#  **Cave Tour Fee Free Day at Jewel Cave** 

# **National Monument Saturday, September 30, 2006**

Jewel Cave National Monument Superintendent Todd Suess today announced
that the Monument will be waiving fees for cave tours on Saturday,
September 30 in recognition of National Public Lands Day. The Jewel Cave
Visitor Center will be open from 8:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m.

The National Park Service will join other Department of the Interior
bureaus and the U. S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service in
waiving all entrance fees on Sept. 30. While there are no entrance fees
at Jewel Cave, cave tour fees (which are expanded amenity fees) will be
waived for the Scenic Cave Tour and Jewel Cave Discovery cave programs.

\"Fall in the Black Hills is a beautiful time to get out and see the
scenery above and below ground," said Superintendent Todd Suess. "This
fee free day is a perfect time to enjoy the underground wilderness of
Jewel Cave, the second longest cave in the World. Exploration continues
at Jewel Cave National Monument, we currently have surveyed 136 miles of
cave passage and will continue to add to the surveyed length in the
future. If you can\'t make it out in September, plan a trip in sometime
in the fall or winter, Jewel Cave is open all year for cave tours.\"

Scenic Cave Tours are limited to 30 participants per tour and will be
available on a first-come, first-served basis. These tours will be
offered every 40 - 60 minutes throughout the day on September 30, with
the first tour entering the cave at 8:40 a.m. and the last at 3:00 p.m.
Scenic Cave Tours are considered moderately strenuous, going both down
and up 723 stairsteps over the course of a one-half mile walk. The
Scenic Tour takes approximately one hour and 20 minutes.

The Jewel Cave Discovery cave program will also be available. This
program is designed for visitors who wish to see Jewel Cave, but are not
able to do the strenuous one-half mile walk with 40 flights of stairs.
It\'s also a great alternative for visitors with small children for whom
the longer Scenic Tour may be too much. The Discovery program is a
20-minute cave visit that allows participants to see one room in Jewel
Cave for an introduction to the cave\'s natural and cultural histories.
They will also see examples of the calcite nailhead and dogtooth spar
crystals that inspired the cave\'s name. On Sept. 30, Jewel Cave
Discovery programs will be offered six times, with the first program
going into the cave at 8:55 a.m. and the last at 3:55 p.m.

The cave temperature is a cool 49 degrees Fahrenheit; light jackets and
sturdy, low-heeled, rubber-soled walking shoes are recommended. No large
bags or backpacks are allowed in the cave.

For more information about Jewel Cave tours and the fee free day you may
call 605-672-2288.

**§4.89 Ratings for inactive nonpulmonary tuberculosis in effect on
August 19, 1968.**

Public Law 90-493 repealed section 1156 of title 38, United States Code
which provided graduated ratings for inactive tuberculosis. The repealed
section, however, still applies to the case of any veteran who on August
19, 1968, was receiving or entitled to receive compensation for
tuberculosis. The use of the protective provisions of Pub. L. 90-493
should be mentioned in the discussion portion of all ratings in which
these provisions are applied. For use in rating cases in which the
protective provisions of Pub. L. 90-493 apply, the former evaluations
are retained in this section.

Rating

For 2 years after date of inactivity, following active tuberculosis,

which was clinically identified during service or subsequently 100

Thereafter, for 4 years, or in any event, to 6 years after date of
inactivity 50

Thereafter, for 5 years, or to 11 years after date of inactivity 30

Thereafter, in the absence of a schedular compensable permanent residual
0

Following the total rating for the 2-year period after date of
inactivity, the schedular evaluation for residuals of nonpulmonary
tuberculosis, i.e., ankylosis, surgical removal of a part, etc., if in
excess of 50 percent or 30 percent will be assigned under the
appropriate diagnostic code for the specific residual preceded by the
diagnostic code for tuberculosis of the body part affected. For example,
tuberculosis of the hipjoint with residual ankylosis would be coded
5001-5250.

The graduated ratings for nonpulmonary tuberculosis will not be combined
with residuals of nonpulmonary tuberculosis unless the graduated rating
and the rating for residual disability cover separate functional losses,
e.g., graduated ratings for tuberculosis of the kidney and residuals of
tuberculosis of the spine. Where there are existing pulmonary and
nonpulmonary conditions, the graduated evaluation for the pulmonary, or
for the nonpulmonary, condition will be utilized, combined with
evaluations for residuals of the condition not covered by the graduated
evaluation utilized, so as to provide the higher evaluation over such
period.

The ending dates of all graduated ratings of nonpulmonary tuberculosis
will be controlled by the date of attainment of inactivity.

These ratings are applicable only to veterans with nonpulmonary
tuberculosis active on or after October 10, 1949.

degrees in more than 100 areas of study. Our students' average age is 36
and approximately 61 percent are New Jersey residents and 39 percent are
out-of-state (from all 50 states and 70 countries).

The College offers an Associate in Science in Public and Social Services
(ASPSS) degree and a Bachelor of Science in Human Services (BSHS) degree
in Emergency Disaster Services that are designed for adult students who
are providers of emergency planning for government, industry, and
voluntary agencies. In addition, the College offers a graduate
certificate in Homeland Security. Courses for this certificate program
provide students with a broad view of homeland security issues by going
beyond a single discipline to consider policy, preparation, management
and continuity throughout a crisis. Course work covers law enforcement,
emergency management and business continuity issues. Students can use
the credits they earn for this certificate toward the Master of Arts in
Liberal Studies or the Master of Science in Management.

There are many ways to earn credit at Thomas Edison State College
including Prior Learning Assessment, credit for EMI/FEMA courses and
other American Council on Education evaluated training, testing,
military training, transfer credit from other regionally accredited
institutions, and Thomas Edison State College distance learning courses
including Guided Study, online, and e-Pack courses.

Dr. Davenport has been at the College for ten years but was just
appointed Dean in February of 2007. She is responsible for curriculum,
outreach, mentors and building partnerships for the liberal arts and
human services programs offered by the College. She is interested in
talking to other participants to learn about their programs and is
especially interested in other providers of non-traditional,
adult-oriented degree programs.

**COMMISSION RELEASES REQUEST FOR QUOTATION FOR CONTRACTOR TO BUILD AND
OPERATE CENTRALIZED DATABASE FOR INTERNET BASED TELECOMMUNICATIONS RELAY
SERVICE NUMBERING SYSTEM**

**CG Docket No. 03-123**

**WC Docket No. 05-196**

On June 24, 2008, the Commission released a Report and Order adopting a
system for assigning North American Number Plan (NANP) ten-digit
telephone numbers to Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Service
(TRS) users.[^1] In this Order, the Commission determined that a neutral
third-party administrator will build, maintain, and operate a
centralized numbering directory mechanism to map the NANP telephone
numbers assigned to Internet-based TRS users to an appropriate Internet
address (or other appropriate endpoint identifier). As set forth in the
Order, the neutral database administrator must be selected, and must
construct the database, work with industry to populate the database,
test the functionality of the database, and be prepared to support
ten-digit numbers for Internet-based TRS users no later than December
31, 2008. On June 25, 2008, the Commission posted a Sources Sought
Announcement on the Government Wide Point of Entry (*FedBizOpps*),
seeking a contractor capable of implementing and operating the
centralized numbering directory.[^2]

Based on the results of the Sources Sought Announcement, on July 28,
2008, the Commission posted a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation as a

ASSESSMENT OF OVERALL DATA QUALITY AND COMPLETENESS

*PENNSYLVANIA 1999* TABLES

Nine tables for each State show the use of mental health and other
services by Medicaid beneficiaries with mental health diagnoses in 1999.
Enrollment and claims data from the Medicaid Analytic eXtract (MAX)
files from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are the
source for these analyses. Because Medicaid programs differ across the
States, and because administrative data vary in completeness and
quality, caveats about the State's data should be considered in
interpreting the information contained in these tables.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Pennsylvania Data Comments**
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Enrollment:** Fluctuations in numbers of adults and children across
  months were noted, but Pennsylvania provided no explanations for the
  uneven reporting. Since services provided during months where no
  enrollment was reported were excluded, these tables may understate
  utilization and expenditures for adults and children.

  **Diagnosis Codes:** Diagnosis coding on claims was relatively
  complete, except that state-specific codes were used on claims for
  EPSDT screenings for children; this anomaly is unlikely to have a
  significant impact on MH identification.

  **Managed Care Enrollment:** During 1999, managed behavioral health
  plans were phased in by county so utilization of services for mental
  health care reported in these tables reflects differing and often
  partial annual use.

  **Other Health Insurance:** Pennsylvania reported a high proportion (up
  to 18 percent) of enrollees with other health insurance. If Medicaid
  was not the primary payer for these individuals, their Medicaid service
  utilization may represent an incomplete view of their total usage.

  **Inpatient Days:** Pennsylvania's inpatient crossover claims rarely
  included covered days. This causes inpatient hospital stays for groups
  of Medicaid beneficiaries that include a high proportion of dual
  eligibles (most aged and many disabled beneficiaries) to average "1"
  day in length, and explains the other low numbers that appear for some
  groups on Table 4.

Great Basin National Park

Night sky program August 11 & 12

Great Basin National Park will host two night sky programs, Saturday,
August 11 and Sunday August 12. Both programs will be held at the Great
Basin Visitor Center on Highway 487 in Baker, Nevada. These programs are
free and open to the public.

The best opportunities to see the annual Perseid Meteor Showers are
August 11 and 12. Salt Lake Astronomy Society's Tom Sevcik will present
a special program Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. (PDT), talking about
digital camera use and taking photos of the meteor showers. This part of
the program will also cover how the public can take part in the
scientific survey of the Perseid Meteor Showers, conducted by the
International Meteor Organization (IMO). At approximately 9:00 p.m.
visitors will be able to participate in star program viewing night sky
objects such as planets, stars, galaxies and star clusters.

August 12 at 9 p.m. (PDT) the public is invited to gather at the Great
Basin Visitor Center to view impressive Persied meteor displays. Early
evening Persied meteors enter the Earth\'s atmosphere at a low angle,
thus \"skimming\" the upper layers while at the same time making for
some of the most breath-taking views of the shower\'s members.
Participants are invited to participate in the IMO scientific survey.
Participants should bring jackets, a flash light, a folding chair.

**Guiding Principles for L-480/580:**

The purpose of L-480/580 is to further the development of leaders who
build and maintain Incident Management Teams capable of managing the
most complex emergency incidents while working with the leaders of
multiple organizations.

-   **L-480/580 should be tied conceptually to the rest of the
    L-curriculum by reflecting the formally adopted leadership values,
    principles and concepts presented at the lower curriculum levels.**

-   **Leadership courses should complement S-420/520/620 but not be
    assimilated into those courses.** **L-480/580 need to be separate
    experiences; attendance at L-480 should precede attendance at S-420,
    and attendance at L-580 should precede attendance at S-520.**

-   **Benchmark outside organizations for senior leader development
    methods, programs, techniques and approaches.**

-   **Include leadership-related all risk incident management issues and
    considerations in the course.**

-   **L-480/580 can't be a bottleneck; it should be designed to be
    readily available to all candidates in order to keep pace with work
    force attrition and increasing demands for competent IMT personnel.
    Course design should allow for flexibility in terms of class size
    and course demand.**
