**USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND REP. MCHUGH PRESENT**

**\$857,000 TO THE TOWN OF LYME FOR WATER PROJECT**

CHAUMONT, N.Y., August 21, 2008 -- Rep. John McHugh (NY-23) and U.S.
Department of Agriculture Rural Development State Director Patrick H.
Brennan today presented \$857,000 to the Town of Lyme.

The funding will be distributed as a \$357,000 direct loan and a
\$500,000 grant. The award will be used to create Water District #5,
which will replace wells in the Old Town Springs Road and Cheever Road
area. .

"Improving water infrastructure is essential for many small communities,
and this funding will help Lyme make the improvements needed to benefit
current and future residents," said Rep. McHugh. "This is example of how
critical federal funding for the USDA is on a local level, and I will
continue to strongly support this funding in Congress."

"One of USDA Rural Development's primary missions is helping local
communities make water infrastructure improvements," said State Director
Brennan. "This funding will enable the Town of Lyme to expand their
service area and improve water quality for its residents."

"The Town of Lyme is growing and planning for the future and our hopes
are to provide water and sewer to everyone in the Town," said Lyme Town
Supervisor Scott Aubertine. "The help and assistance provided by USDA
Rural Development, our elected officials in Washington, and of course,
the hard work and dedication of our own water board, will greatly
benefit the economics of our town and improve the quality of life of its
residents."

"Funding from USDA Rural Development has been a tremendous benefit to
North Country communities in developing much needed infrastructure,"
said State Senator Darrel Aubertine (Senate District 48). "The hard work
of Lyme town officials and our USDA representatives will ensure that
residents living in the newly formed water district have clean
affordable drinking water for years to come."

The Town of Lyme award is part of a \$547 million funding package
announced by USDA on August 15 that is being provided to more than 220
projects in 46 states and Puerto Rico. The 2008 Farm Bill, also know as
the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, included \$357 million to
address the national backlog of water and wastewater projects in rural
America. Another \$190 million is being distributed through the 2008
budget.

\--more\--

USDA Rural Development's mission is to increase economic opportunity and
improve the quality of life for rural residents. In fiscal year 2007,
USDA Rural Development invested more than \$262 million in New York,
raising its total investment in the state to more than \$1.5 billion
since 2001. Further information on rural programs is available by
contacting the State Office at (315) 477-6400 or by visiting USDA\'s web
site at <http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ny>.

# \"Docket \# 01N-0067 - AGAINST the FDA Rule on Mercury Dental Fillings\"

The Maine Toxics Action Coalition \[MTAC\] strongly opposes efforts by
the FDA to pre-empt the disclosure law on mercury dental fillings. You
may not know that MTAC, along with several strong citizen leaders, was
instrumental in passing a law in Maine that requires disclosure to all
dental patients on the possible hazards of mercury amalgams.

One need not be convinced about the health hazards to an individual when
mercury amalgams are placed in the mouth \[and there are a great deal of
data supporting those hazards\], to understand the huge negative impact
of dental amalgams on the environment.

Maine's Senator Collins has been proactive in tackling part of the
problem of mercury in the environment by sheparding through the mercury
thermometer bill that recently passed. We are grateful for the Senator's
understanding of how little mercury it takes to pollute large areas of
the environment, which eventually impacts the health of wildlife and
humans around the globe. We ask that your agency continue the efforts to
eliminate mercury discharges wherever possible, and to educate the
public through informed consent and disclosure about mercury amalgams in
a clear, concise and compelling way. We have tackled that in Maine and
do not wish the FDA to undermine our efforts.

Dental offices now the #1 cause of mercury in the wastewater, according
to a report released by the Mercury Policy Project and the Sierra Club
in June. The law passed by the Maine Legislature in 2001, with strong
bipartisan support, would give disclosures about the health and
environmental risks of mercury. As these disclosures are made, and
consumers discover that the "silver" fillings are in reality mainly
mercury, we believe an increasing number of consumers will choose NOT to
get mercury fillings. And our environment will clearly benefit.

The FDA would impose a "uniform standard" and pre-empt the Maine law. In
its place, it would give disclosures that are almost meaningless.

We believe that IF our law must be pre-empted, that Congress, not a
federal bureaucracy, should make the decision.

Sincerely,

Kathleen McGee, Director

**Sullivan 'Thankful' for Supreme Court's Decision**

*Supreme Court Votes 5-4 to Uphold Ban on Partial Birth Abortion*

**WASHINGTON, D.C. -** Congressman John Sullivan released the following
statement regarding the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to uphold the ban
on partial birth abortions:

**"I am thankful that the Supreme Court today reaffirmed their respect
for life and upheld the common-sense ban on partial birth abortion.
 This heinous procedure is one that ignores the sanctity of life and has
no place in a civilized society.  I was proud to stand with President
Bush as he signed this legislation into law in November 2003.  As a
husband and a father of four children, I have a deep respect for the
miracle of childbirth and the joy that children bring to life. Today, we
can take solace in the fact that the grotesque practice of partial-birth
abortion is over."**

# RURAL DEVELOPMENT FUNDS ASSIST DAKOTA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL CONSTRUCT NEW SCHOOL BUILDING [ *Improved Efficiencies With New Structure* ]{.underline}

**(New Holland, South Dakota -- September 13, 2005)** USDA Rural
Development State Director Lynn D. Jensen today delivered a ceremonial
check to the Dakota Christian High School representing a community
facility direct loan in the amount of \$700,000 and a community facility
guaranteed loan in the amount of \$700,000 to assist in the construction
of a new K-12 school building.

Jensen said, "This project will provide increased efficiencies for the
Douglas County communities and enhance educational opportunities for the
students who utilize the facility. In addition, the students, faculty
and staff will be in an environment that is more conductive to
learning."

This project consists of a new 47,636 square foot, 200-student, K-12
school to be located on 20 acres in rural Douglas County. The main
purpose of this project is to improve efficiencies by consolidating the
existing private elementary schools in Platte and New Holland and the
high school in New Holland. The existing facilities are aged and in need
of major repairs. This new facility will feature a library, music room,
art room, computer room, regulation size gymnasium, weight room, full
service kitchen, as well as state of the art classrooms.

"Dakota Christian School is delighted to have USDA Rural Development
come along with a financial loan for the construction of a new K-12
school. We are enthused to have this building in process already -- no
doubt due to USDA's assistance," said Ivan Groothuis, Chief Executive
Officer for Dakota Christian School.

USDA Rural Development Area Director Les Boehmer and Rural Development
Specialist Linda Weber also attended the event. USDA Rural Development
has ten offices in the state that assist rural communities. Office
locations include a state office in Huron, along with area offices in
Aberdeen, Huron, Mitchell, Pierre, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Sturgis,
Watertown, and Yankton.

USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that
will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of
life of rural residents. As a venture capital entity, Rural Development
provides equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in
homeownership, business development, and critical community and
technology infrastructure. Further information on rural programs is
available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA's
web site at <http://www/rurdev.usda.gov>.

**Smart Tool Name: Fogger (Version 1.1)**

**Developed by: Carl Morgan, WFO Wilmington, NC**

**Date: 7/27/04**

**Development Platform: IFPS 15.3**

**Changes from Version 1.0:**

1)  Fog will be appended to the existing weather in the Wx grid rather
    than replacing it. This will allow the Wx grid to remain consistent
    with the PoP grid after Fogger is run.

2)  Added option to remove existing fog. This removes a limitation from
    version 1.0 that would not allow the forecaster to shrink the areal
    extent of patchy fog.

3)  Increased the dewpoint depression precision to 0.1 degree from 0.5
    degree, allowing more subtle changes to be made.

**[Purpose:]{.underline}** The Fogger Smart Tool was designed as an easy
way for the forecaster to add fog to the weather (Wx) grids, where/when
meteorological conditions warrant.
![](media/image1.png){width="2.2805555555555554in"
height="5.000694444444444in"}

**[Data Required:]{.underline}** Fogger compares corresponding
temperature (T), dewpoint (Td) and wind speed values, so these fields
should have been created and/or edited by the forecaster before
executing.

**[Forecaster Input:]{.underline}** The figure on the right shows the
user input screen as it appears by default. The user is asked whether to
append or remove fog from the selected Wx grid, and whether or not to
assign the Adense@ characteristic. Adding a value for visibility is also
an option, however visibility is only required for the marine grids in
NDFD at this time. Slider bars allow the forecaster to adjust the
dewpoint depression and wind speed thresholds that will produce
Apatchy@, Aareas of@ and Awidespread@ fog (see Scientific Techniques
below).

**[Limitations:]{.underline}** This tool takes a simplistic approach to
determining the development and extent of fog. Because fog development
can occur as a result of many different meteorological processes
(radiation, advection, evaporation, upslope flow, etc), *Fogger is not
intended to be the only tool used to predict fog.* However it may be
used as a forecasting aid to highlight areas of potential fog
development.

After executing the tool, if the forecaster wants to reduce the extent
of patchy fog, he/she must remove fog from the grid first, adjust the
slider bar for patchy fog to the left, and run it again.

The GFE "combine" mode is turned on when Fogger is run, and will remain
on until turned off by the forecaster.

**[Scientific Techniques:]{.underline}** The two parameters chosen to
determine fog (wind speed and dewpoint

depression) are most applicable to determine fog formed by radiative
processes. The default parameter thresholds were chosen arbitrarily in
an attempt to recognize fog potential over a gridded domain, but can be
adjusted to produce more satisfactory output.

Patchy where T-Td \<= 2 and Wind \<= 2 kt

Areas where T-Td \<= 1 and Wind \<= 1 kt

Widespread where T-Td = 0 and Wind =

## Community College Labor-Market Responsiveness Initiative

### Background

Community colleges are uniquely positioned to contribute to state and
local workforce development. This project will research those
indicators, policies, and practices that support labor-market
responsiveness and provide reports and a handbook for use by community
colleges to focus on what works.

### Overview

This initiative will provide information and tools that will enable
community colleges, as a unique component of America's education and
training system, to keep pace with the needs of a diverse student body
and a dynamic labor market and design programs and services that promote
individual student success as well as economic competitiveness.

### Outcomes and Products 

-   *The \"Market Responsive\" Community College* will define the
    characteristics of a market-driven college and identify the
    indicators and measures that can be used to determine the extent to
    which a college is market-driven [MS
    WORD](http://www.ed.gov/offices/OVAE/CCLO/cclmrdeliv1.doc) (196K)

-   *Students Outcomes as a Measure of Market Responsiveness*, an
    analysis of the kinds of outcome information kept by community
    colleges and how this information is used to determine labor market
    responsiveness

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   *Response to Labor Market Change by Community Colleges* and *Case
    Studies of 10 Market Responsive Community Colleges* will identify
    policies and practices that lead to market responsiveness

-   *Community College Handbook for Labor Market Responsiveness: Steps
    Colleges Can Take to Be Market Driven,* a handbook to assist
    colleges that wish to become more market driven, including an
    assessment instrument colleges can use to evaluate their current
    level of market responsiveness

Subject: Response to SC 18 N2297 (Liaison Statement From JTC 1/SC 24 to

JTC 1/SC 18 Regarding the Relationship Between CGM Plus its Addenda and

SPDL)

SC 18/WG 8 asks SC 18 to forward the following response to SC 18 N2297

(Liaison Statement From JTC 1/SC 24 to JTC 1/SC 18 Regarding the

Relationship Between CGM Plus its Addenda and SPDL) to SC 24.

SC 18 thank SC 24 for their liaison statement regarding the relationship

between CGM Plus its Addenda and SPDL (SC 24/N421). SC 18 agree that the

scope and goals of CGM and SPDL are substantially different and that the

standards lie at different levels in the relevant reference models. SC
18

further agree that the development of SPDL and Addenda to CGM should

continue according to the current programmes of work of SC 18 and SC 24.

SC 18 further reaffirm that because CGM is the GGCA of ODA SPDL should

TARIFF NO.: 6202.11.0010

Mr. Djibril Makalou

Ann Taylor

1372 Broadway, 5th Floor

New York, N.Y. 10018

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

Dear Mr. Makalou:

In your letter dated June 5, 2003, you requested a classification
ruling.

The sample submitted, style number 48-100716, is a woman's coat that
extends to the knee area in length and measures 37 inches from the
center portion of the rear neck to the bottom hem. The coat is
constructed of a shell composed of a woven 75% wool/25% nylon fabric.
The garment is lined with a woven man-made fiber fabric.

The coat is slightly fitted at the waist and has a notched-lapel style
collar and a full front opening secured by a right-over-left,
four-button hidden placket closure. The coat features a stitched seam
surrounding the waist area, two front patch pockets below the waist,
long hemmed sleeves, a rear vent and a straight cut hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the coat will be 6202.11.0010, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's
overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar coats: of wool or fine
animal hair. The duty rate will be 41.5¢/kg + 16.8 percent ad valorem.

The coat falls within textile category designation 435. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of the Philippines are
presently 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. 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 W. Raftery at 646-733-3047.
