Structure of the U.S. Education System:

Intermediate Graduate Qualifications

The U.S. higher education system awards several qualifications that
represent studies and research beyond the master's degree but that are
not the equivalent of a research doctorate. Most of these qualifications
are in professional fields of study and represent a level of education
corresponding to advanced professional standing.

Regulations governing these intermediate graduate qualifications are the
responsibility of the institution offering the program and the
appropriate professional and accrediting authorities.

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 6117.10.1010

Mr. William Ortiz

Stile Associates Ltd.

153-66 Rockaway Blvd.

Jamaica, NY 11434

RE: The tariff classification of a shawl from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Ortiz:

In your letter dated April 26, 2000, on behalf of I.K.L. International,
you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style #20320 is a shawl composed of knit merino
wool fabric. The item is rectangular in shape and measures approximately
75" in length and 29 ½" in width. The shawl features a pocket at each
end.

The applicable subheading for style #20320 will be 6117.10.1010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for "Other made up clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted; knitted
or crocheted parts of garments or of clothing accessories: Shawls,
scarves, mufflers, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like: Of wool or
fine animal hair." The duty rate will be 9.8% ad valorem.

Style #20320 falls within textile category designation 459. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are subject
to quota 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 [U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report]{.underline}, an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the
Customs Web site at www.customs.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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 212-637-7084.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski

provisions of §17.161. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1712)

\(1\) *For compensation and pension examinations*. A compensation and
pension examination shall be performed for any veteran who is directed
to have such an examination by VA. (Authority: 33 U.S.C. 111 and 501)

\(2\) *For adjunct treatment*. Subject to the provisions of §§17.36
through 17.38, medical services on an ambulatory or outpatient basis
shall be provided to veterans for an adjunct nonservice-connected

**RETREADED TIRES**

**The Taxpayers' Friend**

Any city, state or federal fleet not yet using retreads today really
needs to

take another look at their tire program and ask, "why not?" Not only are

retreaded tires environmentally friendly (since tires contain a large

percentage of synthetic rubber which is petroleum based, every time a

retread is used less oil needs to be imported), retreads are nearly
always

less expensive than comparable new tires. And when life cycle costing is

factored in, retreaded tires will ALWAYS be less costly than new tires.

Private fleets have known this for years which is why practically every
major

trucking fleet in the world uses retreads. Retreaded tires enable fleets
to

save money, and when you consider that tires are a fleet's third largest

expense - right behind the driver's salary and fuel - the amount of
money

saved over the course of a year becomes very significant.

Every taxpayer (and aren't we all!) has a right to see his or her
dollars spent

in the most efficient manner possible. Retreaded tires can help make
this

happen, which is why every public sector fleet not already using
retreads

should take another look at them and learn more about how retreaded
tires

can help save money without sacrificing safety, performance or handling.

-continued-

*We recycle all of our paper!*

The Tire Retread Information Bureau is a non-profit, industry supported
association

dedicated to the recycling of tires through tire retreading and tire
repairing.

**www.retread.org**

**(A great site to bookmark and revisit often!)**

Retreaded tires are safely used by school and municipal buses, emergency

vehicles such as fire engines, commercial and military airlines,
military

tactical vehicles, small package delivery services, including the U.S.
Postal

Service, trucking fleets and my many public sector fleets.

The Tire Retread Information Bureau/TRIB urges those public sector
fleets

not yet using retreads to take advantage of the many educational

opportunities offered, including retread plant tours, Retread and Tire

Maintenance workshops, Retread Tire Information Packets and educational

videos. All materials are entirely non-commercial and there is never a
cost

for TRIB materials. The Retread and Tire Maintenance workshops can be

conducted on site at any public sector fleet headquarters or they can be

combined with a tour of a local retread plant.

For more information about any of the above, fleet managers are invited
to

contact TRIB toll free at 888-473-8732 from anywhere in North America,
or

by e-mail: info@retread.org.

The TRIB web site, **www.retread.org**, also offers a tremendous amount
of

valuable information about tire maintenance for both retreads and tires
that

have never been retreaded.

Quadratures - Figure 3

Left: Solar wind speed, magnetic field strength, and density from the
observing interval shown in Figure 2 This has been mapped back to the
Sun using the constant velocity approximation. The horizontal axis shows
time in terms of the day the solar wind left the Sun. DoY 141 is May 21,
1997 and DoY 154 is June 3, 1997. The three intervals, I1, I2, and I3,
and the two solid data points in field strength and density are
discussed below.

Right: Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) Ly -α intensity from
DoY 141-153, in the 9^o^-10^o^ latitude range, during the May 1997
SOHO-Ulysses quadrature: (top) I~Ly-α~ at 3.5 R~SUN~; (bottom) I~Ly-α~
at 4.5 R~SUN~. Values have been averaged over the observing interval;
the 1 σ error bar is too small to show up on the scale of this figure.
The intervals marked I1, I2, and I3 are discussed below.

### Results from the May 1997 quadrature:

-   It is straightforward to match up features in the solar wind at
    Ulysses at 5.1 AU and at 3.5-4.5 R~SUN~ in the UVCS data. This
    removes virtually any uncertainty resulting from using the constant
    velocity approximation to map solar back to the Sun during this
    period. The three intervals, **I1**, **I2**, and **I3**, apparently
    correspond to the different appearance of the streamer belt shown in
    Figure 1 and, by inference, to the streamer belt being parallel to
    the equator in **I1** and **I3**, and inclined to the equator in
    **I2**.

-   The solar wind was unusually smooth during the entire interval.

-   We do not show the data but only note that Doppler dimming of the
    OVI 1032/1037 line ratio implies V~SW~\<100 km/s at 3.5 R~SUN~ but
    may have become \>100 km/s at 4.5 R~SUN~.

-   The "forest" of rays on 26 May appears in the Ulysses density data
    but not in the flow speed.

-   Assuming the brightness boundary of the streamer is the fast/slow
    wind boundary, there is *no evidence of mixing or equatorward flow*
    between 5 R~SUN~ and 5.1 AU at this boundary.

EVA697/H/B747 "Eva 697" landed runway 7R. CCA1066/H/B747 "Air China
1066" was on a visual approach behind EVA697 to runway 7R. The ANC ATCT
controller instructed CCA1066 to go-around multiple times because EVA697
had not yet cleared the runway and was still on landing rollout. CCA1066
did not respond to these transmissions and proceeded to land on runway
7R while EVA697 was still on the runway. It was later determined that
CCA1066 was not instructed to change to tower frequency and landed
without receiving a landing clearance from the ANC ATCT. The closest
proximity was estimated at 5,300'.

## PRACTICE INTRODUCTION

**USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service---Practice Code 614**

![](media/image1.png){width="5.979861111111111in"
height="3.941666666666667in"}

### WATERING FACILITY

A watering facility is a trough or tank installed as a livestock
watering facility.

### PRACTICE INFORMATION

A watering trough or tank provides livestock with drinking water at
planned locations that will protect vegetative cover through proper
distribution of grazing or other management techniques. The water
source(s) may be a well, spring, stream, pond, or other sources
including water hauling, in some situations.

In addition to providing livestock water, troughs are sometimes
installed to keep cattle out of streams and other surface water areas
where water quality is a concern.

###  COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Watering Facility is commonly used as part of a Conservation Management
System with practices such as Water Well (642), Pipeline (516), Spring
Development (574), and Prescribed Grazing (528).

For further information, refer to the practice standard in the local
Field Office Technical Guide and associated specifications and job
sheets.

fabric. The garment extends to below the waist and features a mandarin
collar, a rear yoke, a zippered front opening, chest pockets with flaps
secured by snap closures, decorative snap tabs at the waist, long
sleeves with snap cuffs and a hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the style 59 -101795 will be 6206.30.3010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's shirts: of cotton: other: other, with two or more colors in
the warp and/or the filling. The duty rate will be 15.5 percent ad
valorem.

Style 59 -101795 falls within textile category designation 341. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of India are
subject to quota 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 Patricia Schiazzano at 646-733-3051.

HOW WORRIED IS YOUR AGENCY THAT ALL THE BEES ARE DYING?

THAT THE BUTTERFLIES ARE VIRTUALLY DEAD?

WHY ISNT THERE ATTENTION PAID TO THIS?

THIS FORM THAT YOU SENT ME THAT THE PROFITEERS HAVE TO FILL OUT IS FAR
TOO SCANTY IN INFORMATION AND DOES NOT ASK ENOUGH QUESTIONS . IT IS MUCH
TOO EASY FOR TH EPROFITEERS TO HARM AMERICANS.

I DONT LIKE CONSULTS ONLY WITH PROFITEERS AND BELIEVE SUCH CONSULTS
SHOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL SIMULTANEOUSL.YU. AT NO TIME HAVE
YOU CONSULTED WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC ON THIS DANGEROUIS TESTING.
NEIGHBORS ESPECIALLY NEED TO KNOW AND YOU HAVE INSTITUTED NO CHANGE IN
REGULATIONS TO SEE THAT NEIGHBORS ALWAYS KNOW WHEN DANGEROUS OR ANY
PERMITS OF THIS TYPE ARE ISSUED. THIS AGENCY IS GOVERNMENT BY THE
PROFITERS FOR THE PROFITEERS.

WHERE DO YOU ASK FOR ANY SO FAR SHOWN HARMFUL EFFECTS OF THE PESTICIDE
THAT A PERMIT IS BEING ASKED FOR?

THIS IS MUCH TOO EASY FOR PROFITERS TO INFLICT DANGEROUS PRODUCTS ON
AMERICANS. THE QUESTIONS ASKED NEED TO BE MORE THAN ONE SIDE OF AN 8-1/2
X 11 PIECE OF PAPER FOR THESE KINDS OF PRODUCTS.

IN ADDITION NO COLLEGE SHOULD GET AWAY WITH NOT HAVING TO MEET
REGULATIONS. IT IS CLEAR THAT COLLEGES LIKE RUTGERS ARE GETTING BUSINESS
FOR DIVISIONS TO SIMPLY ACT AS PIMPS FOR CHEMICAL PROFITEERS. THIS NEEDS
TO STOP. THE PROFITEER HIMSELF SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE APPLICATION -
NO MIDDLEMEN PIMPS FROM SOME COLLEGE SOMEWHERE THAT WILL ACT AS
MIDDLEMEN AND THEN WHEN SOMETHING GOES DESPERATELY WRONG WILL SAY THEY
DIDNT KNOW. I THINK THIS KIND OF HIDING BEHIND A COLLEGE OR AGENCY IS
ABSOLUTELY WRONG. THE PROFITEER MUST STAND BEHIND HIS APPLICATION ALONE.

Standard Operating Procedures

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  DATE: December 8, 2004

  SUBJECT: Retention of SF-330, Architect-Engineer Qualifications

  NUMBER: CSOP 05-001

  EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately Until Replaced or Superseded
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# 1. Purpose 

This document provides basic guidelines for handling SF-330,
Architect-Engineer (A-E) Qualifications, received in the Facilities
Contracts Branch (FCB).

# 2. References

FAR Part 4.8 -- Government Contract Files

FAR Part 36 -- Construction and Architect-Engineer Contracts

3\. [Background]{.underline}

The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) at Subpart 4.8 describes the
requirements for establishing, maintaining, and disposing of contract
documentation and files. The FAR is generally silent on the treatment of
SF-330's, as well as how long an office is required to retain those that
are submitted for specific projects.

FAR 36.603 allows agencies to establish permanent evaluation Boards to
pre-select A-E firms. The pre-selection board members would review
SF-330 A-E qualifications and classify each firm according to location,
specialized experience, professional capabilities, and capacity. The FAR
recommends that offices utilize this data for A-E requirements.

The Facilities Division does not utilize pre-selection Boards and
therefore does not maintain a revolving reference file of SF-330's. The
selection of A-E firms is based on specific research laboratory-oriented
projects with very stringent requirements in various locations
throughout the country. Specific evaluation criteria are developed for
each requirement.

4\. [Procedures]{.underline}

In order to comply, FCB will retain one (1) copy of each SF-330
(including presentation materials for short-listed firms) submitted for
a specific project until the resultant contract expires in accordance
with FAR 4.805(a)(5). The SF-330's should be maintained with the
pre-award documentation and can be placed in the FCB file room in the
location designated for that particular contract. The SF-330 from the
successful A-E should be kept separately with the contract award file.

5\. [Point of Contact]{.underline}

For further information, please contact the Facilities Contracts Branch
on 301-504-1171.

**§17.276 Appeal/review process.**

Notice of the initial determination regarding payment of CHAMPVA
benefits will be provided to the beneficiary on a CHAMPVA Explanation of
Benefits (EOB) form. The EOB form is generated by the CHAMPVA automated
payment processing system. If a beneficiary disagrees with the
determination concerning covered services or calculation of benefits, he
or she may request reconsideration. Such requests must be submitted to
the Center in writing within one year of the date of the initial
determination. The request must state why the beneficiary believes the
decision is in error and must include any new and relevant information
not previously considered. Any request for reconsideration that does not
identify the reason for dispute will be returned to the claimant without
further consideration. After reviewing the claim and any relevant
supporting documentation, a CHAMPVA benefits advisor will issue a
written determination to the beneficiary that affirms, reverses or
modifies the previous decision. If the beneficiary is still
dissatisfied, within 90 days of the date of the decision he or she may
make a written request for review by the Director, Health Administration
Center, or his or her designee. The Director, Health Administration
Center, or his or her designee will review the claim, and any relevant
supporting documentation, and issue a decision in writing that affirms,
reverses or modifies the previous decision. The decision of the
Director, Health Administration Center, or his or her designee with
respect to benefit coverage and computation of benefits is final.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 1781)

**Note to §17.276**: Denial of CHAMPVA benefits based on legal
eligibility requirements may be appealed to the Board of Veterans'
Appeals in accordance with 38 CFR part 20. Medical determinations are
not appealable to the Board. 38 CFR 20.101.
