**§21.5076 Entitlement charge---overpayment cases.**

\(a\) *Overpayment cases.* VA will make a charge against an individual's
entitlement of an overpayment of educational assistance allowance only
if:

\(1\) The overpayment is discharged in bankruptcy; or

\(2\) VA waives the overpayment and does not recover it; or

\(3\) The overpayment is compromised. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3231)

\(b\) *Debt discharged in bankruptcy or is waived.* If the overpayment
is discharged in bankruptcy or is waived and is not recovered, the
entitlement charge will be at the appropriate rate for the elapsed
period covered by the overpayment (exclusive of interest, administrative
costs of collection, court costs and marshal fees). (Authority: 38
U.S.C. 3231; Pub. L. 94-502)

\(c\) *Overpayment is compromised.*

\(1\) If the overpayment is compromised and the compromise offer is less
than the amount of interest, administrative costs of collection, court
costs and marshal fees, the charge against entitlement will be at the
appropriate rate for the elapsed period covered by the overpayment
(exclusive of interest, administrative costs of collection, court costs
and marshal fees).

\(2\) If the overpayment is compromised and compromise offer is equal to
or greater than the amount of interest, administrative costs of
collection, court costs and marshal fees, the charge against entitlement
will be determined by:

\(i\) Subtracting from the sum paid in the compromise offer the amount
attributable to interest, administrative costs of collection, court
costs and marshal fees.

\(ii\) Subtracting the remaining amount of the overpayment balance
determined in paragraph (c)(2)(i) of this section from the amount of the
original overpayment (exclusive of interest, administrative costs of
collection, court costs and marshal fees),

\(iii\) Dividing the result obtained in paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this
section by the amount of the original debt (exclusive of interest,
administrative costs of collection, court costs and marshal fees), and

\(iv\) Multiplying the percentage obtained in paragraph (c)(2)(iii) of
this section by the amount of the entitlement otherwise chargeable for
the period of the original overpayment. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3231)

RE: The tariff classification of drawstring pouch and case for a shaver
from China

Dear Ms. Pineda:

In your letter dated June 25, 2007, you requested a tariff
classification ruling. Your samples will be returned as requested.

The samples submitted are a drawstring pouch for a clipper and a case
for a shaver. No style numbers have been provided. The pouch is
constructed with an outer surface of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic
sheeting and has a drawstring closure. It measures approximately 6.5"
(W) x 9.5" (L). The case for the shaver is constructed with an outer
surface of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic sheeting that has a
reinforced backing of textile. The case has a flap with a hook and loop
closure. The case is specially shaped and fitted to hold a shaver and
measures approximately 2.5" (W) x 5.25" (H) x 1" (D).

In your letter, you suggest classification under 8510.90.5500,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides
for other parts of hair clippers, other. Pursuant to GRI 1, goods are to
be classified under the heading that most specifically describes them.

The applicable subheading for the pouch will be 4202.92.4500, HTSUS,
which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with the outer
surface of sheeting of plastic, other. The rate of duty will be 20% ad
valorem.

The applicable subheading for the shaver case will be 4202.92.9060,
HTSUS, which provides for other containers of cases, with outer surface
of sheeting plastic, other. The rate of duty will be 17.6% ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are
provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

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

# RE: ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Miniature Golf Courses

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing you in regards to the proposed ADA Accessibility Guidelines
for miniature golf courses. I am one, of a limited number of
shareholders, in the family run Pirates's Cove Adventure Golf, which is
located in Weirs Beach, NH.

I am very concerned about some of the Accessibility Guidelines as
proposed. Although I support the ADA as a whole, since it has done much
to increase accessibility and resources for guests with disabilities in
general, I fear for the viability of the business I am a shareholder in,
if the Guidelines are adopted as proposed.

Pirate's Cove is an "adventure" style miniature golf course; the course
features a large hill and waterfalls. The top of the hill is almost 40
feet in the air! The course was built like this to simulate a natural,
mountainous landscape mirroring a real golf course-in order to create
interest from our customers. Dramatically changing elevations are the
key feature of our course. Further, my miniature golf course is built
out of sprayed concrete that is artistically made to look like real
rocks and in many places is over a foot in thickness.

I fear that applying the proposed Guidelines for my miniature golf
course would ruin the dramatic nature of our business. Therefore, I urge
you to:

1.  **Extend the timeframe for comments to 150 days-this is our busiest
    time of the**

> **year and we would like more time to examine these complicated
> proposals.**

2.  **Create an exception for [existing]{.underline} facilities that are
    of limited total square**

> **footage, have a limited amount of available square footage space, or
> were designed with extreme elevation changes.**

3.  **Allow multiple breaks in the sequence of holes that are
    accessible.**

4.  **Further expand the definition of what is an alteration vs. what is
    normal maintenance for miniature golf courses (for example: since we
    are an outdoor business, we consider many activities such as
    re-carpeting or landscaping to be normal maintenance, not
    alterations).**

Sincerely,

Theodore V.. Lincoln

**Statewide ITS Media**

**Agreement Guidelines**

This document, written to serve as a guideline for a partnership between
respective media and the Missouri Department of Transportation, is a
consensual statewide effort. This guideline document is meant to be a
dynamic document to expand with the ever changing technology driving
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

In order to best serve the public with the features and information
provided by ITS, the traveling public should be provided with as much
real-time traveler information as possible. Currently, the media (i.e.,
television, cable, print, web sites and radio) have been an excellent
source for public information on current traffic conditions. By allowing
the media access to traffic and traveler information generated by ITS,
these partners will play an integral part in informing the public of
current traffic conditions.

To best serve the public, the following guidelines should be included in
individual contracts, agreements or memoranda of understanding with the
media:

1.  Information generated from MoDOT's ITS program will be
    non-exclusive.

2.  Any users of the information who, directly or indirectly, are
    providing information for a fee or reusing the information in anyway
    must register with MoDOT.

3.  Individual media may have direct access to video feeds from roadside
    and dynamic traffic maps within centers.

4.  It will be the responsibility of each media to purchase and maintain
    its own equipment needed to access the center and the traffic
    information.

5.  All sponsored additions to an individual system, such as additional
    camera locations, will become MoDOT property through our standard
    Transfer of Ownership Agreement and will be available to all media
    being served.

6.  All reproduction of video and traffic information, media contacts
    with the center and access to the center will be cleared by a
    designated contact at MoDOT.

7.  MoDOT will not videotape traffic camera feeds for non-Department
    use. Media may tape video feeds if they so desire with proper credit
    being given.

8.  Each video feed (live or otherwise) used by individual media will
    include the designated ITS program's logo (i.e., Gateway Guide,
    Kansas City Scout, Branson Trip, MoDOT, etc.) in a manner approved
    by MoDOT.

9.  MoDOT will have control of all camera views that are available from
    the center. MoDOT does not guarantee all available camera views.

10. Each ITS program may negotiate with the media to make specific
    mention of MoDOT and/or ITS programs on individual traffic radio
    broadcasts, TV and web.

11. The media's physical presence in the center will be negotiated and
    decided upon on a case by case basis.

12. Each individual program may negotiate a "good faith" agreement with
    the media for the provision of additional public service
    announcements and programming.

Nonlinear Estimation

A Simple Explanation of Nonlinear Estimation

Nonlinear estimation uses linear estimation iteratively applied to
linear approximations of the model until coefficients converge.

Review of Linear Estimation

[Linear Model]{.underline}

$$y = X\theta + e$$

*y* is an *N* by 1 vector, *X* is *N* by *K* matrix, where *K* is the
number of explanatory variables, θ is a *K* by 1 vector of unknown
coefficients, and *e* is an *N* by 1 vector of errors.

Coefficient Estimates

$$\hat{\theta} = \left( X^{'}X \right)^{- 1}X^{'}y$$

Covariance Matrix

$$V\left\lbrack \hat{\theta} \right\rbrack = s^{2}\left( X^{'}X \right)^{- 1}$$

where $s^{2}$ is the estimated mean squared model error.

# Nonlinear Model Estimation

$$y = G(\theta) + e$$

where $G(\theta)$ is an *N* by 1 vector function of the *K* by vector of
coefficients.

First-order Taylor Series Approximation

$y = G\left( \theta_{0} \right) + G_{\theta^{'}}\left( \theta_{0} \right)\left( \theta - \theta_{0} \right) + e$

where $G\left( \theta_{0} \right)$ is the *N* by 1 vector function
evaluated at the initial coefficient estimate $\theta_{0}$, and
$G_{\theta^{'}}\left( \theta_{0} \right)$ is the *N* by *K* matrix of
derivatives of *G* with respect to θ, evaluated at the initial
coefficient estimate $\theta_{0}$.

Redefine the following variables,

$$\overset{\sim}{y} = y - G\left( \theta_{0} \right) + G_{\theta^{'}}\left( \theta_{0} \right),\text{  and  \{}\overset{\sim}{X} = G_{\theta^{'}}\left( \theta_{0} \right)$$

The next iteration estimate of θ is least squares applied to the
transformed data:

$${\hat{\theta}}_{1} = \left( {\overset{\sim}{X}}^{'}\overset{\sim}{X} \right)^{- 1}{\overset{\sim}{X}}^{'}\overset{\sim}{y}$$

Replace $\theta_{0}$ by ${\hat{\theta}}_{1}$, and iterate until

**BLACKBURN, INSLEE UNVEIL BILL TO** **PROTECT PHONE RECORDS, STRENGTHEN
PRIVACY RIGHTS**  

 

WASHINGTON -- Representatives Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Jay Inslee
(D-WA) unveiled yesterday legislation aimed at preventing imposters from
fraudulently accessing the phone records of unsuspecting consumers. 
Their announcement comes in response to reports that online companies
sell illegally obtained cell phone records for as little as \$100.

 

Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Blackburn and Inslee
will support an increase in criminal penalties for people who pose as
account holders to access telephone and cell phone records.  They plan
to file the legislation when the House returns for session on January
31.

  

\"Private cell phone information should remain private,\" Blackburn
said.  \"Our cell phone information is being targeted by some less than
honorable companies.  I\'m certain most people have no idea their
personal information is being bought and sold like some commodity.  The
fraudulent acquisition of this information should be banned and I
believe we can achieve a consensus on that point.  We have an
opportunity to tackle this problem when Congress returns and protect
Americans\' personal cell phone records.\"

"This protection needs to be included in broad privacy legislation
Congress will consider this year," said Inslee, in reference to pending
bills aimed at protecting sensitive consumer data by regulating
information brokers, some of which were involved in high-profile
security breaches last year.  "I'll work with my colleagues on the House
commerce panel to make sure that phone records, along with Social
Security numbers, financial records and other sensitive consumer
information, are kept private."

Current law contains criminal penalties for obtaining another person's
financial records under false pretexts, but similar penalties do not
exist specifically for telephone records.  Under the Inslee-Blackburn
bill, these privacy violations would be criminal offenses, punishable by
up to five years in prison and \$250,000 in fines for individuals, and
up to \$500,000 in fines for companies.  

 

U.S. Sens. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Bill
Nelson (D-Fla.) introduced similar legislation in the Senate.

**The Equilibrium Thickness of Europa's Ice Shell**

The thickness of Europa's ice shell is determined by the requirement
that the heat produced in the interior of Europa be transported to the
surface through the shell. This includes heat produced in the ice shell
itself by tidal heating and heat produced in the deep interior by tidal
heating and radioactive decay. Models of the thermal equilibrium of
Europa's ice shell are computed using a laboratory-derived composite
flow-law for ice and a new parameterization for heat flow through a
layer heated from within and from below. Two end-members are considered,
based on the possible equilibrium states of Europa's mantle: Moon-like
and Io-like. In the Moon-like case, tidal heating in the silicate
interior is negligible, and the equilibrium thickness of the shell is
determined by the balance between tidal heating and convective heat
transport in the shell. In the Io-like case, the heat supply from the
interior dominates, and the equilibrium thickness is determined by the
requirement that the shell transport this heat across it. Both cases are
sensitive to the eccentricity of Europa's orbit, but in different ways,
thus the evolution of the thickness of the shell as driven by orbital
evolution may be diagnostic of the state of the silicate mantle. Also,
the pattern of heating in the shell and in the silicate mantle are
different, and the ocean would act to smooth the heat flow from the
interior to the base of the shell resulting in a more uniform heat flow.

**Contents:**

> **Amendments to H.R. 1286---**Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary
> Route National Historic Trail Designation Act

H.R. 1286, the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National
Historic Trail Designation Act, is scheduled to be considered on the
House floor on Thursday, July 10, 2008, subject to a structured rule
([**H.Res.1317**](http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.Res.1317:)),
making in order the following two amendments, each debatable for 10
minutes.

The rule waives all points of order against consideration of the bill,
except those regarding PAYGO and earmarks, waives all points of order
against the bill itself---except the PAYGO rule---and allows the Chair
to postpone consideration of the legislation at any time during its
consideration. The rule allows one motion to recommit with or without
instructions.

**AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER UNDER THE RULE**

**1. Bishop (R-UT).** The amendment clarifies that no land shall be
acquired for use by the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route
National Historic Trail without the consent of the owner *and* that no
land shall be acquired for the trail from a state or local government if
that government obtained the land through eminent domain. In its current
form, the bill does not prohibit the acquisition of state and local land
obtained via eminent domain.

**2. Pearce (R-NM).** The amendment would require the Secretary of
Interior, in cooperation with the Secretary of Energy and private
industry, to prepare a report concerning energy resources available on
the lands and water within the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route
National Historic Trail. The report would be submitted to the House
Committee on Natural Resources, the Senate Committee on Energy and
Natural Resources, and affected states' legislatures. The amendment
would require that the report contain the best available description of
the types and amounts of energy resources withdrawn from possible
development by the trail Specifically, the amendment would require the
report to include the number of barrels of oil, cubic feet of natural
gas, and megawatts of solar, wind, and geothermal energy that could be
commercially produced on the trail land.

Linux is a very important operating system. Many web service companies
including Google are based on Linux. But is Linux getting slower?

As computers grow faster and more powerful every year, computer software
is given more leeway to grow as well. With each expansion of memory,
programmers need worry a little less about taking up too much RAM. More
processing power, meanwhile, means an excuse for better-looking
interfaces, more features, and all manner of bells and whistles.
Therefore software might get slower.

On the other hand, new algorithms and techniques are being developed all
the time. Some programmers work hard at developing efficient code. They
profile, measure, and improve. Therefore software might get faster.

We installed three differently aged versions of Linux onto one computer,
and ran a series of tests on each, to determine whether software is
getting slower or faster. All tests were run in GUI on a computer with
an 850 Mhz processor and 256 MB RAM, which typifies a computer in the
middle of the period this software was developed.

Comments from private tax payers Peter and Candice Shoshin, Cottage

Re: WORP

We live in western Oregon and we **DO NOT** agree with the proposed BLM
WORP Plan.

1.  There is too little old growth left. Around 95% of it has already
    disappeared. We need to save and protect what is still growing.
    These mature ecosystems maintain a genetic pool that cannot be lost.
    Cutting and replanting with a silvaculture mentality will
    drastically change the gene pool on that acreage as well as
    resetting the secondary succession patterns.

2.  Why not thin already existing BLM forests? This would provide the
    economic boost to counties that do need it and make a healthier,
    faster growing, more carbon storing, mature forest for the future.
    Investing in thinning now would pay smaller immediate results but
    huge dividends in the future. Most Oregon mills have been
    restructured for smaller logs because of recent economic pressures
    of supply. Old-growth logs are so big that they cannot be milled
    near where they are cut, forcing massive gasoline increase for
    trucks. Even if they could be logged and milled, that would dump a
    large supply of wood on an already struggling lumber industry
    forcing prices down. New home construction is down therefore a large
    piece of the market for Douglas-fir is missing. Increasing supply
    when the demand is not a healthy practice for any business or State.

3.  The unique habitat provided by the old-growth must be preserved for
    the wildlife that now live there and for the children who will visit
    to observe the balances in nature and feel the vitality of the
    wilderness.

4.  Water quality and run-off issues are real when you live in Western
    Oregon. The watersheds of these mature forests must be maintained
    and enlarged to provide healthy and safe environments for the
    residents who live around them. Even winter mudslides resulting in
    traffic deaths and landslides are more common around logged areas.
    If you live here, you know this. Increasing the logging will
    increase the problems with run-off , drinking water quality, and
    fish habitat. Building the roads into these sensitive areas will
    affect stream quality.

5.  Old growth ecosystems are known to store enormous amounts of carbon,
    buffering the natural CO~2~ levels of the planet. WORP would release
    huge amounts of CO~2~ into the atmosphere and destroy this important
    carbon sink.

6.  WORP will provide a quick fix for rural county budgets. Solve the
    problem instead of forcing a knot between our rural economy and the
    declining logging industry.
