Corn fiber was hydrolyzed by dilute sulfuric acid treatment and enzymes
by a method reported by Grohmann and Bothast (1997). Sulfuric acid
concentration of 0.3-0.5 % resulted in better hydrolysis than 0.1-0.2 %.
Sixty three g/L corn fiber (16 % moisture content) was treated with
sulfuric acid \[0.3-0.5% (v/v)\] at 121 ^o^C for 1 h followed by cooling
to room temperature, and adjusting pH to 4.5 with 10 M NaOH. The
hydrolysate so obtained contained approximately 30 g/L total sugar.
Subsequent hydrolysis with enzymes \[cellulase and cellubiase, both at 1
mL/100 g corn fiber\] increased sugar concentration to approximately 52
g/L. There was no effect of reduced particle size on the hydrolysis and
final sugar content in the hydrolysate. The hydrolysate was used to
measure cell growth of *Clostridium beijerinckii* BA101 in anticipation
for producing butanol. Compared to the control reduced cell growth was
observed, possibly due to growth inhibitory components present in the
hydrolysate. The results on hydrolysis and butanol fermentation will be
reported during the 25^th^ Biotechnology Conference on Fuels and
Chemicals.

**[METROPOLITAN PLANNING PROGRAM *(49 U.S.C.
*]{.underline}*§[5303)]{.underline}***

Metropolitan Planning Program (MPP) funds are available to carry out the
transportation planning process and meet the programming requirements of
the joint FTA/FHWA planning regulations, \"Planning Assistance and
Standards,\" 23 C.F.R. Part 450 and 49 C.F.R. Part 613. FTA apportions
MPP funds to the States based on a set of formulas: 80% of the funds
available is apportioned according to an urbanized area population based
formula; the remaining 20% is provided to the states based on an FTA
administrative formula to address planning needs in larger, more complex
urbanized areas with one million or more population. Acting as the FTA
grantees, the States distribute these funds to each urbanized area, or
portion of an urbanized area, within the state according to a formula
developed by the State and approved by FTA. All States have either
reaffirmed or developed new allocation formulas as a result of the 2000
Census.

The MPP provides financial assistance, through the States, to
Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) to support the costs of
preparing long-range transportation plans and financially-feasible TIPs,
required as a condition of obtaining Federal Capital Program and
Urbanized Area Formula Program grants for transit projects. In addition
to providing funding for local and State transportation planning and
objectives, the MPP provides a means of drawing State and local
attention to national priorities through a series of periodically issued
Planning Emphasis Areas (PEA). A planning emphasis area is established
by FTA and FHWA to advance national goals as established by Federal law,
to reflect FTA and FHWA priorities, and to respond to congressional
direction established through the appropriations process.

In FY 2005, FTA obligated almost \$129.3 million for metropolitan
planning.

**[STATE PLANNING AND RESEARCH PROGRAM *(49 U.S.C.
*]{.underline}*§[5313(b))]{.underline}***

The State Planning and Research Program (SP&R) is a source of Federal
financial assistance to the States to meet the planning requirements of
the joint FTA/FHWA planning regulations, \"Planning Assistance and
Standards,\" 23 C.F.R. Part 450 and 49 C.F.R. Part 613. As with the MPP,
the State is the FTA grantee for this program. The SP&R funds may be
used for a variety of purposes and programs in addition to its function
as a source of financial support for State transportation planning
activities. These other programs include: Research, Development, and
Demonstration (49 U.S.C. §5312(a)); Training (49 U.S.C. §5312(c);
Research and Training in Urban Transportation Problems (49 U.S.C.
§§5312(a), 5317(a)); Human Resource (49 U.S.C. §5322); as well as for
Metropolitan Planning (49 U.S.C. §5303).

In FY 2005, FTA obligated almost \$10.9 million for State planning and
research.

RE: The tariff classification of garment bag from China

Dear Mr. Shier:

In your letter dated June 5, 2007, you requested a classification
ruling. Your sample will be returned as requested.

The item is a garment bag wholly of non-woven polypropylene man-made
fiber textile material. The garment bag is designed to provide storage,
protection, organization and portability for garments. The bag has a
zipper running down the center of the bag with an opening at the top
through which a hanger can be placed. The bag can be folded over and
carried by a loop on either end. It measures approximately 40" (L) X 23"
(W).

You suggest classification in subheading 3923.29.0000, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for articles for
the conveyance or packing of goods, of other plastics. The bag is made
of non woven polypropylene spun bonded fabric, which is a textile
material, and not plastics. Moreover, legal note 2(m) to Chapter 39
precludes articles of heading 4202 from classification in any of the
provisions of chapter 39.

The applicable subheading for the garment bag will be 4202.92.3031,
HTSUS, which provides for travel, sports and similar bags, with outer
surface of textile materials, other, of man-made fibers, other. The duty
rate will be 17.6 percent 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/.

HTSUS 4202.92.3031 falls within textile category 670. With the exception
of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer
applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade
Organization (WTO) member countries. Quota and visa requirements are the
result of international agreements that are subject to frequent
renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information on
quota and visa requirements applicable to this merchandise, we suggest
you check, close to the time of shipment, the "Textile Status Report for
Absolute Quotas" which is available on our web site at www.cbp.gov. For
current information regarding possible textile safeguard actions on
goods from China and related issues, we refer you to the web site of the
Office of Textiles and Apparel of the Department of Commerce at
otexa.ita.doc.gov.

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 Vikki Lazaro at 646-733-3041.

Ms. Sally Shaver

OAQPS

USEPA

Durham, NC

Dear Ms. Shaver:

Please provide these comments to the ad hoc group modifying the
transition principles. In my previous letter, dated June 7th, I provided
three principles to the group; two dealing with substitutions and one
with economic incentive approaches. I would appreciate a written
response from the group to the points raised in this letter.

I also want to offer some suggestions on the current output from the
group. This document (the last I have seen is dated 7/10) does represent
compromise and is a significant step forward. The group members are to
be applauded for their openness and creativity.

I have the following comments and suggestions, however.

\(1\) The compromise on Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) worked out at
the last subcommittee meeting involved NOT specifying a definition of
RFP. Yet, the ad hoc group's memo implicitly accepts the "3 % / yr.
emissions reduction" definition of RFP/ROP. I would like to see language
up front that portrays the 3% discussion as illustrative.

\(2\) In condition 2, I would like it made clear that, with a modeling
demonstration, emissions reductions could be obtained from beyond 100
(or 50) miles. There should also be recognition that the modeling
demonstration may lead to less than (or greater than) a one-to-one
substitution with a NA area's emissions.

\(3\) Clarify the language in condition 4 so it is clear that these
requests are not burdensome and do not unduly restrict the search for
AOI substitutions.

\(4\) Add clarifying language that, subject to modeling, multiple
nonattainment areas may claim emissions reduction credits from
reductions made in an AOI. Add the statement that such credits could be
proportional to the effect of those emission reductions on ambient ozone
in the NA area. As an example, suppose that modeling shows that an
area's emissions reductions will reduce ozone equivalently in two NA
areas. Then, each area could claim half the emissions reduction.

\(5\) From my previous letter, I do not see the logic in locking in
existing control plans and programs when there may be an opportunity for
more cost-effective reductions outside the NA. Maybe an enforcement
mechanism could be crafted where the area seeking AOI substitutions had
to agree, up front, to penalties for slowing its progress.

\(6\) For areas in NA that move into attainment, I question the idea
that all existing measures must be kept in place. Such areas already
have enormous incentives to remain in compliance. But they should not be
locked into measures that are not cost-effective. It is even more
questionable to subject recalcitrant areas to *further* controls (ROPs)
if they come into compliance by virtue of the new standard. If the new
standard is a better measure of public health protection, then so be it
\-- the area is classified as attainment. As noted above, the area still
has incentive to maintain its new attainment status.

Sincerely,

Alan Krupnick

-   Worked closely with USGS personnel looking for new site locations in
    Ventura, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties. Several of these sites
    have been picked for the location of new SCIGN sites.

-   Made the selection of the solar electric system for use at new SCIGN
    sites that will require solar power. The systems can also been used
    for emergency response.

-   Worked very closely with USGS personnel in the testing of cutting
    edge RTK GPS experiments. These tests are on going, and if
    successful will be deployed in the SCIGN Network, and deployed for
    emergency response in real time.

-   Worked with the contractor that SCIGN has been tasked with the job
    of installing 200 new GPS sites. Helped in the selection and design
    of the enclosure, enclosure wiring, and enclosure cooling. We also
    helped the contractor with issues as they came up. For example, the
    site at Rialto High School had bad data. The problem was found to be
    a bad coaxial cable, also troubleshooting phone line problems at the
    new sites.

*Re: Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc., Licensee of Stations

I fully support the Commission's decision to levy the statutory maximum
forfeiture amount against Infinity Broadcasting Operations for the
broadcasting of indecent language stemming from the Deminski and Doyle
show out of WKRK-FM in Detroit. The blatant broadcasting of filth of
this extreme nature has no place on our nation's airwaves. Broadcasters
should take this latest action as yet another sign that the Commission
will continue to rigorously enforce our indecency regulations.

**ABSTRACT**

The current series of GOES satellites are essential tools for
operational tropical cyclone analysis and forecasting. Applications
include position estimation, diagnostic intensity estimation through the
Dvorak technique, satellite rainfall estimation, analysis of storm
structure and its environment, tropical cloud cluster and formation
analysis, and track and intensity forecasting. The next generation of
GOES satellites will provide new opportunities to improve and extend
tropical cyclone analysis and forecasting techniques. Current
applications and potential improvements using the proposed GOES R imager
and sounder will be described. Possibilities include improved diagnostic
techniques such as the Dvorak method and rainfall estimation that make
use of the higher spatial and spectral resolution, eye soundings from
the Hyperspectral Environmental Sounder (HES), applications of high
vertical resolution GOES feature tracked winds, tropical cyclone
formation, intensity and track forecasting, and the potential for
assimilation into the next-generation numerical hurricane models. The
contributions of GOES R to multi-platform tropical cyclone analysis will
also be described.
**GOP Record on Manufacturing**

While the Republicans are bringing up a minor bill on manufacturing,
here is a brief overview of their record on manufacturing.

Number range CHAPTER**2.7 million manufacturing jobs have been lost
since President Bush took office.** The manufacturing sector -- a sector
that historically has provided an important underpinning for our economy
-- has fared particularly badly under the Bush Administration.. The
economy has lost 2.7 million manufacturing jobs since President Bush was
inaugurated.

Number range CHAPTER**The manufacturing crisis is bad for our economy,
industry, and workers**. These job losses in manufacturing are a major
problem. Manufacturing has long been key to the strength of our economy.
It provides good jobs and guarantees a high standard of living for
America's working families. In fact in 2001, manufacturing workers'
earnings were 23 percent greater than those of workers in service
sectors of the economy.

**With no manufacturing jobs plan, Republicans passed a bill to provide
[more]{.underline} tax breaks for multinational corporations that ship
U.S. jobs abroad.** On June 17, House Republicans passed a corporate tax
bill that provides \$33 billion more in tax breaks for multinational
corporations that ship U.S. jobs overseas. The Republican bill includes
a large loophole that allows corporations to have foreign workers do
most of the work to make a product and still reap benefits from a
"domestic production" tax break, and includes billions of dollars in new
tax breaks for the off-shore operations of U.S.-based multinational
corporations. Many major multi-national companies admit they lower their
taxes "by investing more capital overseas" and the House Republican bill
makes that problem worse. Their plan replaces tax incentives to export
American [goods]{.underline} with tax incentives to export Americans
[jobs]{.underline}.

**With no manufacturing jobs plan, the President's Economic Report
suggested that fast-food jobs be renamed manufacturing jobs.** The
Administration's answer to the manufacturing jobs crisis is to sprinkle
old jobs with new titles. Rather than putting forward an economic plan
to create good- paying U.S. manufacturing jobs, the President's Economic
Report suggested redefining fast food restaurants as manufacturers, so a
person who flips burgers would be counted in the same job classification
as an autoworker.

**With no manufacturing jobs plan, the Administration sought to promote
an exporter of U.S. jobs as the new manufacturing czar.** The
Administration planned to name Anthony F. Raimondo of Behlen
Manufacturing as the much-delayed Assistant Commerce Secretary for
Manufacturing and Services. This was canceled when it came to light that
he had laid off 75 U.S. workers in 2002, soon after announcing plans for
building a major factory in Beijing, China.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 5, 2001

## VA Approves 16 New Community Outpatient Clinics

WASHINGTON - To continue improving access to health care for the
nation's veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently
announced plans to open 16 additional community-based outpatient clinics
in 14 states and the District of Columbia.

Two of the new clinics will open in California, one in San Mateo County
and the other in San Diego County. Besides Washington, D.C., other
communities receiving new clinics are: Maricopa County, Ariz.; Freeport,
Ill.; Salina, Kan.; Morehead, Ky.; Houma, La.; Pocomoke City, Md.; Wayne
County, Mich.; Kandiyohi/Chippewa County, Minn.; Lowndes County, Miss.;
Havelock/Morehead City, N.C.; Pontotoc County, Okla.; Covington, Tenn.;
and Galveston County, Texas.

\"These clinics are an example of VA putting health care resources
closer to our veterans,\" said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J.
Principi. \"We can provide more care for more veterans.\"

These new facilities will add to more than 400 outpatient clinics
established in the last four years. VA currently operates approximately
800 outpatient clinics throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.

The need for community clinics is shown in part by their workload. Since
1995, outpatient visits have gone up by more than a third. In fiscal
year 2000, there were 36 million outpatient visits, an increase of 9.9
million visits in five years.

Outpatient clinics improve continuity of care because they provide more
convenient access and promote quicker attention to medical problems.
They shorten hospital stays by helping patients before and after their
admission by providing care closer to the patient's home. Eliminating
the need for veterans to travel long distances reduces VA reimbursement
costs. Additionally, outpatient clinics shorten waiting times and
increase overall customer satisfaction.

To enroll in VA health care, veterans can call 1-877-222-8387. VA
encourages veterans to enroll before they need care. There are
co-payments for higher-income veterans with no

*Re: Lockheed Martin Corporation, COMSAT Government Systems, LLC, and
COMSAT Corporation, Applications for Transfer of Control of COMSAT
Corporation and Its Subsidiaries, Licensees of Various Satellite, Earth
Station Private Land Mobile Radio and Experimental Licenses, and Holders
of International Section 214 Authorizations.*

I fully support today's decision to grant transfer of these licenses.
Nonetheless, I cannot endorse the majority's decision to subject these
applications to a "market analysis" presumably designed to assess the
impact of these transfers on the satellite services market. As I have
stressed elsewhere, I believe such concerns are outside the scope of our
public interest review and duplicative of the work of other
agencies.[^1] So long as license transfers comport with our rules, I
believe our approval should be swift and sure. Culling out certain
transactions for special treatment undermines predictability, diminishes
transparency, delays resolution, and ultimately harms the public
interest.

FT. COLLINS, CO -- October 15, 2003. The U.S. General Services
Administration's (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Forest Service will celebrate the
groundbreaking of Building E, the final building to be constructed on
the Natural Resources Research Center (NRRC) campus, at a ceremony
tomorrow at 2 p.m. The NRRC is located on the Colorado State University
Foothills Research Campus.

The Natural Resources Research Center project is a collaborative effort
among the GSA, USDA, the City of Fort Collins and the U.S. Department of
Interior. The project is in a campus-like setting on approximately 29
acres of land leased from Colorado State University and is located at
2150 Centre Ave., just South of the main CSU campus. The goal of the
NRRC campus is to develop facilities to house natural resources
research, operations and support functions. The Fort Collins office
market will be significantly impacted as a result of this project. At
full build-out, the campus will add approximately 485,000 rentable
square feet of new build-to-suit office and laboratory space to the Fort
Collins market.

GSA's Public Buildings Service is the leasing agent on behalf of the
federal government. Private developers are constructing the buildings;
upon completion, the buildings are leased back to the government through
GSA. Eventually, all six buildings will revert back to CSU ownership.
This is a true private-public partnership in which the city of Fort
Collins, the federal and state governments, and private sector
developers worked together to provide a state-of-the-art research
facility. For additional information about PBS, visit
<http://www.rmrpbs.gsa.gov/>.

The NRRC Building E is the district headquarters for the
Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grasslands. The
building has many features, including a visitor information center, a
conference center for public meetings, an exhibit area, an emergency
response center for coordinating forest fire operation, and a natural
landscape reflective of the Colorado environment. Five different Forest
Service facilities are being consolidated into the 43,500 square foot
building and will be occupied by 164 Forest Service personnel. Among
those who will be occupying the space are wildlife biologists, fire
ecologists, hydrologists and botanists, as well as financial analysts,
computer specialists, mapping and engineering specialists, recreation
planners and landscape architects. For more information about the
Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest and Pawnee National Grasslands, please

**Script for Skit**

**"Don't tell ME breastfeeding is NATURAL!"**

**WIC Nutritionist** Hello, Cammie. I'm so glad you came in to WIC to be
recertified now that your baby Justin is here! He's just darling!
Hmmm...\
I see from his chart that he is 3 weeks old. Congratulations!

**Cammie** Thanks.

**WIC Nutritionist** Can you tell me if you are breastfeeding?

**Cammie** (sigh) Well, I WAS breastfeeding, but I'm through with all
that! Breastfeeding is NOT all it's cracked up to be!

**WIC Nutritionist** (concerned) Can you tell me more about what's going
on?

**Cammie** (turning to the audience) You really want to know?

> Well, it's like this.

See, when I got pregnant, I was in a state of shock. My boyfriend and I
sure hadn't planned on being parents, but once I got used to the idea,
it sorta grew on me. I didn't think much about breastfeeding, because I
had mostly seen women in my family bottle feeding, so I figured that's
what I'd do, too. But when I was in labor...LABOR, mind you...this nurse
comes in and she says, "So are you going to breastfeed?" I wasn't in any
mood to talk about anything, much less breastfeeding, until I got some
pain relief, so I just told her "maybe" so I wouldn't have to hear\
a lecture.

After Justin was born, another nurse comes over and shoves him at me and
says, "Let's go ahead and start nursing." I was in a daze. Now how in
the heck was I supposed to do that? She pulls down my gown and starts
jamming him up there, and I was, like, "Woah! Okay. Whatever!" I told
her, "I'm not really comfortable with this," and she said, "Oh, you'll
get more comfortable. Breastfeeding is natural."

Natural?

Well, breastfeeding has been anything BUT. I had heard that
breastfeeding is best, though it seems to me that all those vitamins in
formula make it pretty good stuff, too. But I want to be a good mother
so I followed the instructions from the nurses. It was hard to remember
everything, though. They talked about scary things that might happen and
what to do, but I just couldn't\
take it all in. When I got home, Justin just cried nonstop. And it hurt!

My mother came over to help, and she said I was crazy for breastfeeding.
She said nobody in our family can make milk, and he was crying because I
was starving him. Now THAT sure makes you feel like a good mother!

My boyfriend...well, he didn't say much, but I could tell he thought the
whole thing was barbaric. He just kept saying, "Will things EVER be
normal again?"

I couldn't face the thought of doing this much longer. The hospital gave
me some formula in this cute little bag, and I figured this must be
kinda like a prescription or something, so I started giving it to
Justin. He liked it just fine, and now when I try to nurse him, he just
cries and acts like he's gagging. I think he is telling me that he is
through with this too.

The **natural** thing for us was to just give formula. So now that I'm
out of the formula at the hospital, I'll be needing some from WIC.
