**MEDIA BUREAU ACTION**

**WAIVER OF EX PARTE SUNSHINE PROHIBITION IN MEDIA OWNERSHIP
PROCEEDING**

On July 24, 2006, the Commission released its *Further Notice of
Proposed Rule Making* in MB Docket Nos. 06-121 and 02-277 and MM Docket
Nos. 01-235, 01-317, and 00-244, FCC 06-93 ("*Further Notice*").

Under Section 1.1203 of the Commission's rules, presentations to
decision makers are generally prohibited during the "sunshine period,"
which ran in this proceeding from June 14, 2006, when the Commission
issued a Public Notice that the matter had been placed on the agenda for
the Commission's June 21, 2006 Open Meeting, until July 24, 2006, when
the *Further Notice* was released. Nonetheless, the Commission received
numerous public comments in this proceeding after adoption of the
*Further Notice* at the Commission's June 21, 2006 meeting and prior to
its release. The Bureau, acting by delegated authority, finds that it
would serve the public interest to waive the sunshine prohibition with
respect to these comments filed after the adoption date of the *Further
Notice*, in the interests of facilitating public comment and thereby
assembling a full record on the issues in this proceeding. Accordingly,
all written comments filed in this proceeding (MB Docket Nos. 06-121 et
al.) after June 21, 2006 and during the sunshine period will be accepted
and included in the record of this proceeding.

We are pleased to furnish you the attached copies of the Mid-Atlantic
Region Technician Certification Program (MARTCP), Pavement Marking
Student Manual and CD. The MARTCP in cooperation with the Transportation
Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) is sharing this material with
technician training centers nationwide.

Seeing the need to develop core materials in the pavement marking
program, technical experts from the Mid-Atlantic Region updated the
original Virginia DOT manual. The development of core training materials
such as this facilitates sharing these materials and techniques,
maximizing our scarce resources. State Transportation Agencies are
encouraged to glean the information they want from core materials while
supplementing it with local specifications to better meet the needs of
individual agencies.

We are furnishing you a second student manual and CD to be shared with
the appropriate State Transportation Agency technical expert or training
coordinator. The Office of Asset Management, in cooperation with the
TCCC, challenges you to work along side your state and industry partners
in the development of core materials. The TCCC's website for sharing
information and training materials is currently under development by the
National Highway Institute and is scheduled to be on line by December
31, 2001. To request additional manuals or CD's please contact Woody
Hood, MARTCP, at 410-321-4100, <whood@sha.state.md.us>. Manuals and CD's
are available at a nominal reproduction fee. For additional information

1.  Some more infrastructural work asked by Mike and Dan are done. Some
    of the blanks are in place.

2.  The cables on the third panel of M110 were pulled. All is well.

3.  I finished cabling M110. Dan and I did the pulser test. The results
    are on the attached excel file (also on web). Four cables were
    shorted. Dan will fix them tonight. Others have BLS cable/hybrid
    problems, according to Dan. We will discuss this with Norm in the
    morning. Dean may have comments also.

4.  On the attached pulser data excel file the results for M112 are
    still preliminary. I will redo the test with signal values as data.
    Dean commented on the results re-iterating that the results are hard

The pouring rain from a Nor'easter could not dampen the sunny smiles on
the faces of Sand Hill Apartments residents who gathered to celebrate
their new Community Center. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Open House
marked the official completion of the Center, which had been in the
works since its planning in 2001.

Over a dozen residents turned out to hear from Rural Development State
Director Michael W. Aube; Staff Assistant from the Office of Susan
Collins Bridget Woodward; the Architect; Property Managers Dale and
Sherry Randall; and a very

touching testimonial by fellow-resident Alesia Nickerson.(pg 2)

![](media/image3.jpeg){width="1.6458333333333333in" height="1.425in"}
Apartments recognized Martha and Donald Russell, an elderly couple who
have called Apartment \# 9 home since the building's completion in 1990.
As the tenants helped themselves to Sherry's homemade brownies and
rhubarb squares, it was easy to see why they gladly call Sand Hill
Apartments home. (continued next page)

***Alesia's Story-***

Alesia spoke of the terrible conditions she had lived in when in other
housing situations in the past eleven years of her life. From
homelessness, to living in an apartment where the walls were literally
falling in around her, Alesia persevered, looking for a place to call
home.

That moment would come when Alesia discovered Sand Hill Apartments. She
has been there over a year, and now says her life is "more relaxed, less
stressful, and much easier," and calls her apartment "warm and sunny."
She even credits her new home with lifting her perpetual Writer's Block,
and happily spends her time working towards her goal of becoming a
published novelist.
**Planet Shadows in Disks as Signatures of Core Formation**

<hannah@dtm.ciw.edu>

A long standing debate in planet formation theory is whether giant
planets form by core accretion or gravitational instability. Core
accretion involves the coagulation of small particles into larger and
larger bodies, whereas gravitational instability is the fragmentation of
a protoplanetary disk into planet-sized gravitationally-bound clumps. If
giant planet formation occurs via core accretion, it must happen while a
substantial amount of hydrogen gas still exists around a young star. In
this paper, I propose that a sub-Jovian mass protoplanet can create
shadows on the surface of quiescent gaseous circumstellar disks that
could be detectable with infrared interferometry. The planet makes the
shadow by gravitationally compressing the disk in the vertical
direction, creating a dimple at the disk\'s surface. When this dimple is
illuminated by stellar irradiation, the far side of the dimple is
illuminated, while the near side is shadowed. The cooled side contracts
while the heated side expands, causing further distortion of the disk
surface. This feedback loop enlarges the perturbation so that it could
potentially be observable, given a telescope with sufficient angular
resolution. Detection of this phenomenon in a protoplanetary disk would
indicate the presence of a growing planet core embedded in the disk and
vindicate the core accretion model as the paradigm for giant planet
formation.

The Honorable A. J. Eggenberger

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, NW, Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Enclosed is the Final Report to the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety
Board (Board) on Recommendation 99-1, which provides a summary of
actions taken by the Department to resolve the issues contained in the
Board's August 1999 Recommendation 99-1, *Identification of Issues
Needing Resolution to Ensure the Long-Term Safety of Pits at Pantex*.

The Department has implemented corrective actions to address the issues
identified in Recommendation 99-1 and as of June 30, 2005, has completed
repackaging more than 97 percent of the pits identified in the
Secretary's February 2000 implementation plan. Repackaging of remaining
pits is scheduled to be complete by September 30, 2005.

Major corrective actions implemented as a result of Recommendation 99-1
include:

-   Development of the Pantex Pit Management Plan, which provides the
    high level framework utilized to ensure the safe storage and staging
    of all pits at the Pantex Site;

-   Establishment of consistent program priority and funding by the
    Department to complete the repackaging effort;

-   Development, testing, approval, and procurement of the AL-R8
    (2030/2040) Sealed Insert containers needed to provide the
    appropriate environment for pits;

-   Development of the Thermal Monitoring System in the pit storage and
    staging areas to provide monitoring data used to maintain a safe
    thermal environment for pits; and

-   Implementation of a surveillance program for the AL-R8 (2030/2040)
    Sealed Insert containers, which will continue for the duration of
    pit storage at Pantex.

These actions have resulted in significant improvement to the
Department's ability to ensure safe handling and storage of special
nuclear material at Pantex. The Department welcomes the Board's ongoing
oversight and requests the Board to consider closing Recommendation
99-1.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Thomas P. D'Agostino,
Acting Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs, at (202) 586-2179.

Sincerely,

***Samuel W. Bodman***

hi people,

 

I write as a member of the public - and not even a citizen, just a legal
permanent resident.  I don\'t wish to address any general policy issues,
practices, etc, but would make the following set of observations.

 

1. Any normal, plausible or feasible research field will have funding
priority over what one might call \"weird science\" or over science
whose applications seem very remote if practical at all.

 

2.  It is true that the vast majority of \"weird science\" should not be
funded, and the proponents thereof are not necessarily effective in
ordinary society either.

 

3.  However, there are some speculative, apparently purely hypothetical
ideas, or apparently irrelevant research that originate from mainstream
scientists and mainstream science that turn out to be valuable either to
advance theory or in much later applications.  Instances where the ideas
ran far ahead of the practical applications: holography - 1947, well
before lasers; research into oxygen-halogen reactions - which reactions
occurred so quickly and seemed so irrelevant to ordinary chemistry that
almost no-one cared - except that work formed the basis of understanding
anthropogenic effects on the ozone layer, many years later, etc etc. 
I\'m sure that you all can think of things along these lines. 

 

But ask yourself - of all these now useful or relevant ideas, how many
would have been granted funding under the current environment, or indeed
under many of the submissions you will received ?

 

4.  Accordingly, I suggest the following:

 

5% (or some other appropriate figure) of the total research budget
should go on projects that either appear probably unfeasible or lack any
observable practical applications. 

 

5.  The committee to oversee and approve these projects should
be established mainstream scientists who are known for their
multi-disciplinary contributions - generalists tend to be better at
identifying and assessing the long-term potential, I think, and tend to
be less orthodox in their approach.

 

6.  Obviously, no perpetual motion machines or Casimir-effect drives and
the like get funding, but any decent scientific committee can sniff such
projects out immediately. 

 

7.  The greatest young scientists tended to have unconventional ideas,
by definition - such a proposal would allow them the luxury of thought,
and that in turn would maintain or restore (you decide) the highest
intellectual prestige of US scientific research.

 

regards

RE: The tariff classification of a set of "Bath Tub Toys" from China.

Dear Ms. Jones:

In your letter dated February 10, 2003, on behalf of your client, The
Little Tikes Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, "Bath Tub Toys", consists of a set of bath toys (1
plastic shark, 1 plastic frog, 1 textile fish, 1 textile lobster, 1
plastic squirt bottle in the shape of a penguin, 1 crab shaped bath
mitt, and two plastic duck heads) packaged with a mesh bag. The toys all
float. Each duck head has a suction cup on back for adhering to the
bathtub. The mesh bag has two loops on top on opposite sides that can be
placed over the bill of each duck head to hold up the toy filled bag.
This facilitates use of the toys and also allows the toys to air dry
after use in the bathtub.

Provided all the articles are imported packaged together as a set for
retail sale, without repacking, this office will consider the set a toy
set designed for a child's amusement while bathing.

The applicable subheading for the set of "Bath Tub Toys" will be
9503.70.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for "Other toys, put up in sets or outfits, and parts and
accessories thereof." The rate of duty will be free.

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 Alice Wong at 646-733-3026.

**IHS/HHS and FNIBH/HC MOU Suicide Prevention Working Group
Activities/Update:**

The IHS/HHS and First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB)/Health
Canada (HC) MOU Suicide Prevention Working Group had their first
face-to-face meeting, in Ottawa, Canada, October 5-7, 2004. The purpose
of the meeting was to develop critical long-term goals and objectives to
guide efforts of the working group through the remaining three years of
the MOU. The resulting strategic plan will help ensure that all members
of the working group have a clear, mutually developed understanding of
the group's purpose, and that they are making an impact in the area of
Indigenous suicide prevention. Representatives from Canada attending the
meeting included participants from FNIHB, the Inuit Tapariit Kanatami
(ITK), the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), and the National Aboriginal
Health Organization (NAHO). Participating from the U.S., were
representatives from IHS, Akwasasne and St. Regis Mohawk communities,
the White Mountain Apache Tribe, the Alaska Native Medical Center
(ANMC), the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC), and the Suicide
Prevention Action Network (SPAN) USA.

FNIHB hosted the event, chartered a tour bus and transported the group
from Ottawa down to Akwasasne for the first day of the meeting. It was
quite an adventure for the group members who had never been to the
Ontario or Quebec provinces, the State of New York, and the Akwasasne
and St. Regis communities; all of which were relatively a few short
blocks away from each other, and included 7 jurisdictions. The second
day of the meeting was held in the beautiful historic city of Ottawa,
Ontario.

During the meeting, the group identified some of the action steps for
the U.S. and Canada Bi-National Scan (a comprehensive listing of
existing "promising" suicide prevention programs) and website. Another
accomplishment was the groups' Terms of Reference (guidelines for
working group) was approved and passed at the meeting. Also memorable,
was Mr. Ian Potter's, Assistant Deputy Minister of Health Canada,
announcement of a \$100,000 commitment to the National Institute of
Health, IHS, and Health Canada's "Suicide in the Americas Conference",
which will be held in September, 2005.

IHS and Health Canada Suicide Prevention Working Group have not set a
date for their next face-to-face meeting, but continue to have monthly
conference calls.

Re: File No. 0002557346

Dear Mr. Moody:

This letter is in response to your request for reconsideration of the
dismissal of the above-referenced application in which you requested
assignment of the amateur station call sign K9RM to your amateur
station. You apparently believe that the requested call sign was
available as of the date of your application and that the dismissal of
your application therefore was in error. For the reasons discussed
herein, we deny your request.

Vanity call signs are selected from those call signs assignable at the
time the application is processed.[^1] A call sign is not available for
reassignment until two years after the license expires or the licensee's
death, whichever is sooner.[^2] On April 3, 2006, the Commission
received your application requesting that your amateur station license
be modified to show the call sign K9RM.[^3] At that time, the
Commission\'s Universal Licensing System (ULS) database indicated that
call sign K9RM was not available for assignment because the license had
expired less than two years earlier.[^4] Accordingly, your application
was dismissed on April 21, 2006. On June 7, 2006, the Commission
received notification that the licensee of amateur station K9RM had died
on December 18, 2002. This information was entered into the ULS database
on June 9, 2006.[^5] Because more that two years had passed since the
licensee\'s death, amateur station call sign K9RM became available to
the vanity call sign system on June 9, 2006.[^6]

At the time your application was processed, the ULS database showed that
the call sign K9RM was not assignable. Consequently, we conclude that
your application was properly dismissed.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 405 of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 405,
and Section 1.106 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.106, the
request to reconsider the dismissal of application File No. 0002557346
filed on June 12, 2006 by Mr. Ronald W. Moody IS DENIED.

This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections
0.131 and 0.331 of the Commission\'s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131 and
0.331.

RE: The tariff classification of a woman's pajama set from China.

Dear Ms. Emrick:

In your letter dated September 10, 2003, you requested a classification
ruling for a woman's pajama set.

The submitted sample, [Style #JPC168-2PCQ]{.underline}, is a woman's
pajama set consisting of a top and pants constructed from 95% cotton,
and 5% spandex knit fabric. The tank style top of [Style
#JPC168-2PCQ]{.underline} features a modified U-shaped neckline,
shoulder straps measuring approximately 1" in width at the top of the
shoulder, and a hemmed bottom. The pull-on pants feature an elasticized
waistband, and rib knit cuffs.

You have indicated that [Style #JPC168-2PCQ]{.underline} will be
produced, imported and sold at retail as a set. Based on the appearance
of the style, and the marketing information provided, the items are
considered sleepwear and classified in heading 6108.

We are returning your samples as you requested.

The applicable subheading for [Style #JPC168-2PCQ]{.underline} (bottoms
& top), will be 6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for women\'s knit pajamas of cotton,
women's. The rate of duty will be 8.6% ad valorem.

[Style #JPC168-2PCQ]{.underline} (bottoms & top) falls within textile
category designation 351. Based upon international textile trade
agreements this category from China is subject to visa requirements and
quota restraints.

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

**§4.115 Nephritis.**

Albuminuria alone is not nephritis, nor will the presence of transient
albumin and casts following acute febrile illness be taken as nephritis.
The glomerular type of nephritis is usually preceded by or associated
with severe infectious disease; the onset is sudden, and the course
marked by red blood cells, salt retention, and edema; it may clear up
entirely or progress to a chronic condition. The nephrosclerotic type,
originating in hypertension or arteriosclerosis, develops slowly, with
minimum laboratory findings, and is associated with natural progress.
Separate ratings are not to be assigned for disability from disease of
the heart and any form of nephritis, on account of the close
interrelationships of cardiovascular disabilities. If, however, absence
of a kidney is the sole renal disability, even if removal was required
because of nephritis, the absent kidney and any hypertension or heart
disease will be separately rated. Also, in the event that chronic renal
disease has progressed to the point where regular dialysis is required,
any coexisting hypertension or heart disease will be separately rated.

blank line between affiliations and text* Layered double hydroxides
(LDH), also known as anionic or hydrotalcite-like clays, have lately
been used for the preparation of polymeric nanocomposites \[1\]. LDH are
rare in nature, but can be readily synthesized. They have a layered
structure with aspect ratios similar to, or even higher, than the ones
observed for aluminosilicate clays: the layers are 0.48 nm to 0.49 nm
thick and their planar dimensions reach 20 μm \[2\]. Important features
of LDHs are the highly tunable intra-layer and inter-layer composition
that allow one to fit the properties of the clay to applications in a
large number of fields (catalysis and their supports, adsorbents,
ceramic precursors, electrochemical reactions, stabilizers and gene
therapy).

Nano-dispersed Layered Double Hydroxides allow combining the flame
retardant mechanisms of both inorganic hydroxides (endothermic
decomposition, ceramic residue formation, dilution of evolved
combustible gases, decrease of CO/CO~2~ ratio) and layered crystal
nanocomposites (barrier effect, synergistic effect with traditional FR,
charring reactions) \[3\]. It was already demonstrated that in epoxy
resin LDHs based nanocomposites show a higher flame retardant properties
compared to aluminosilicate clays nanocomposites \[4\]. The formation of
an intumescent continuous char with an intercalated nanostructure
significantly decrease the PHRR (peak of heat release rate) compared to
montmorillonite based nanocomposites.

High throughput techniques are used for the synthesis of the
organo-modified LDH by high shear co-precipitation (colloid mill), as
well as for the monitoring of the dispersion (through co-intercalated
fluorescent anionic dye), and the FR properties (flame spread test).

**Biochar as a Precursor of Activated Carbon**

Biochar is one of products of fast pyrolysis process of biomass
(including forest residue such as bark, sawdust and shavings; and
agricultural wastes such as wheat straw and bagasse). This char is a
high heating value solid fuel that is commonly used in kilns and
boilers. Biochar can be considered as a precursor for production of
activated carbons that are used as adsorbents of gases and vapours,
catalysts supports, and separation media. The objective of the present
investigation is to examine the possibility of production of activated
carbon from biochar and the related adsorptive capacities of the
product. Two activation methods (physical and chemical activation) were
used. Experiments were designed by central composite design (CCD) method
to study the effects of various operating conditions on BET surface area
and yield of the product.

The surface area of Biochar was less than 10 m^2^/g. Results show that
it is possible to produce activated carbon from biochar with a BET
surface area more than 660 m^2^/g and a yield more than 38 wt %. The
microprous area of the product is more than 50 % of BET surface area.
The methylene blue number, as an indication of mesoporous area, was more
than 300. The average pore diameter was 21.5 ^O^A that is comparable
with that of commercial activated carbons. The pH of product was 11.7
that shows the basic characteristic. Increasing BET surface area to more
than 66 times of biochar surface with a relatively high yield, low ash
content ( ≤ 7 wt %) and suitable percentage of micropous and mesoporoes
area show the high potential of this plentiful precursor to produce
activated carbon.
