RE: The tariff classification of a vinyl cosmetic bag from

China.

Dear Ms. Webster:

In your letter of June 6, 1991, you requested a tariff

classification ruling on a vinyl cosmetic bag.

The submitted sample, style number 5073, is a cosmetic bag

measuring 7 1/2\" x 5 1/2\" constructed of cotton fabric covered

with clear plastic. The bag has a plastic lining and a zipper

closure.

The applicable subheading for the vinyl cosmetic bag will be

4202.32.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS), which provides for articles of a kind normally carried in

the pocket or in the handbag, with outer surface of plastic

sheeting, other. The rate of duty will be 20%.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the

documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the

transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire

TO: STATE REFUGEE COORDINATORS

STATE REFUGEE HEALTH COORDINATORS

NATIONAL VOLAGS

MUTUAL ASSISTANCE ASSOCIATIONS

FROM: Nguyen Van Hanh, Ph.D.

Director

Office of Refugee Resettlement

SUBJECT: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidance to
Health Care Providers Treating **Sudanese and Somali Bantu refugees**
for Schistosomiasis and Strongyloidiasis

The attached CDC guidance should be shared with all Sudanese and Somali
Bantu refugees and with health care providers treating these refugees.
This technical guidance has been created for use by health care
providers. Because many health care providers attending these refugees
may not be familiar with schistosomiasis or strongyloidiasis, please
make sure the appropriate providers receive the attached information.

If refugee service providers become involved with health care issues
relevant to these refugee populations, they will also need to have this
information at hand to pass along to their corresponding health care
providers. Similarly, it may be helpful for Sudanese and Somali Bantu
refugees themselves to have this guidance to pass along to their health
care providers and to alert those providers of the advisability of
presumptive treatment for these diseases.

The attached recommendations derive from similar recommendations made by
the CDC for the presumptive treatment of the Sudanese Lost Boys and
Girls for these same diseases.

ORR anticipates that the majority of treatment costs will be covered by
state Medicaid programs, but if you experience difficulty in obtaining
coverage for the recommended presumptive treatment, please call CDC or
OGHA for guidance. Additionally, Schering-Plough has made the treatment
for schistosomiasis (Biltricide/praziqunatel) available through its
patient-assistance program. Sudanese and Somali Bantu refugees with low
income or limited health care coverage may be able to receive
schistosomiasis medication through this program. For more information on
how to access Schering-Plough's patient assistance program, please link
to:

<http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/lostboysandgirlssudan/drug_program_notice_012105.htm>

Questions regarding the CDC recommendations should be addressed to Dr.
Drew Posey at the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (404 498
1601; <dposey@cdc.gov>).

If you have any other questions concerning this State letter, please
contact Marta Brenden (ORR), 202-205-3589, or Arjun Prasad (OGHA),
301-443-7243.

**Electrodes in the collimator straight section**

In this short note, we report about the possibility to insert clearing
electrodes in the collimator straight section, in between QVB11 and
QVB12.

In a previous note, it was stated that a clearing electrode should
provide a minimum of 300eV/m electric field, in order to remove the most
dangerous electrons for multipacting. The idea is that those electrons
in the beam gap, with energy less than 300eV/m, are accelerated by that
electric field and sucked in the electrode. A study with MAFIA simulator
was started and the results are here provided. We used a 4.6 m long beam
pipe. The first and the last 0.5 m sections have r=0.12 m radius,
otherwise r=0.14 m. Two 0.12 m long sections tapering go from small to
large radius.

The conclusion is that neither one nor two 0.4 m electrodes provide the
sufficient electric field all along the straight section, but only in
the vicinity (\~0.5 m) of the electrodes. Therefore, it is advisable to
not use such a solution.

In the figure below, the geometry of the first configuration tested is
shown. X and Y axis represent the longitudinal and radial directions
respectively. By using the symmetry, we considered half-section, 2.30 m,
beam pipe. Light blue material represents the tapering from r=0.12 m to
r =0.14 m. The half-electrode in red is 0.2m (0.4 m with symmetry) long,
r~min~=0.11 m, r~max~=0.13 m.

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="6.2444444444444445in"
height="0.8756944444444444in"}

With MAFIA we solved an electrostatic problem, with the beam pipe
grounded and the electrode at V=-20kV (the minus sign is used to
facilitate the visualization). The figure below shows the strong radial
electric field between the electrode and the beam pipe.

![](media/image2.jpeg){width="3.5083333333333333in"
height="2.4791666666666665in"}

In order to move the electrons, the electric field longitudinal
component is important. In the figure below we can note that at 1.16 m,
namely less than one meter far from the end of the electrode, the field
is already reduced to 0.0135eV/m (red color in the contour plot),
meaning that no electron will be sucked at such a distance.

![](media/image3.jpeg){width="6.5368055555555555in" height="3.15625in"}

We tried a configuration with two electrodes (red and green material) at
the same potential V=-20kV, placed symmetric to the center of the
straight section, as it is shown in the figure below.

![](media/image4.jpeg){width="6.232638888888889in"
height="0.8756944444444444in"}

in that case, the radial field between the electrodes is still strong,
as it is shown below

![](media/image5.jpeg){width="4.093055555555556in"
height="2.884027777777778in"}

at z=2.30 m, in the straight section center, the longitudinal field is
254eV/m:

![](media/image6.jpeg){width="6.396527777777778in"
height="3.8756944444444446in"}

but again near the tapering it is only few eV/m, as it is shown below.

[Mutagenicity and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Six Metal Oxide
nanoparticles Using the]{.underline} [*Salmonella* Reverse Mutation
Assay, P. A. Wiley]{.underline}, J.E. Redding, X. Pan\*, Western
Illinois University, Department of Chemistry, Macomb, IL 61455,
<X-Pan@wiu.edu>

Nanomaterials have found beneficial and promising applications in
various fields including the imaging, healthcare, cosmetics, and
engineering industries. As the rapid production and application of
nanomaterials, human and animal exposure to this group of novel
materials may be widespread and unavoidable. However, the risk
assessment of the emerging nanomaterials has been lagged behind and
become an imperative task to the scientific community. Here, we screened
the mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of six important metal oxide
nanoparticles -- TiO~2~, Al~2~O~3~, Fe~2~O~3~, Co~3~O~4~, CuO, and ZnO
using the *Salmonella tryphimurium* reverse mutation assay with and
without S9 metabolic activation. Tested strains included TA 97, TA 100,
and the *E.coli* WP2 trp uvrA pKM 101. A 100 µL of overnight culture of
test strain was used in each plate. A preincubaton protocol was used for
throughout S9 activation. Briefly, the mixture of tested stains and
nonoparticles dissolved in water was incubated with S9 fraction from the
liver of aroclor 1254 induced rats for 1 hour at 37 °C. No mutagenicity
and cytotoxicity was observed in the experiment without S9 activation to
all tested strains at nominal exposure levels of 10, 100, and 1000
μg/plate for all the tested nanoparticles. No mutagenicity was suggested
using the preincubation procedure with high S9 (9%) activation. However,
cytotoxicity of several nanoparticles was indicated at high exposure
levels with dose-response pattern. Also, more tested strains with
different reverse mutation sites and sensitivities should be included in
future studies.

> WESTERN INTERCONNECT GROUP MAKING PROGRESS

The Seams Steering Group-Western Interconnection (SSG-WI) filed a
progress report with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
today that details the work the group is doing to promote a seamless
western market for electricity. The filing also includes discussion
about how the three entities that make up the steering group will
cooperate with state regulatory agencies and the western governors in
the areas they represent.

The SSG-WI is a cooperative effort among three potential Regional
Transmission Operators in the West, RTO West (in the Northwest),
WestConnect (in the Southwest), and the California Independent System
Operator (California ISO). The three entities are working together to
facilitate a regional market for electricity that makes the best use of
generating and transmission resources. That effort is focused on
resolving commercial, operational and policy issues that arise with the
creation of three RTOs in the West.

The three entities signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation
(MOU) on December 5, 2002 that is included in today's FERC filing. The
filing, along with other SSG-WI information, is available at
[www.ssg-wi.org](http://www.ssg-wi.org/).

**Hardtack: Tough Through the Ages**

Forward by Park Ranger/Historian Robert Munson

and Volunteer-in-Parks Nancy Munson

*\"I tried to throw my hardtack away three times, but each time it
walked back to me.\"*

One of the essential foods Cabrillo brought along for the voyage was the
notorious biscuit called hardtack. Because it was dried thoroughly it
could be stored for many months, making it a reliable food for long
voyages. Hardtack did not change from before Cabrillo\'s time through
the Napoleonic Wars. In fact, Cabrillo\'s sailors would not have noted
anything different or unusual about the hardtack issued to our soldiers
in the Civil War. By the way, hardtack made in 1865 too late to be
issued to the Union Army was properly stored and issued in 1898 during
the Spanish American War. Talk about tough!

A Recipe for Hard Tack

3 cups flour (white or whole wheat)

3 Tablespoons salt

Enough water to bind this into a thick, hard dough

Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thick.

Cut into 2\" or 3\" squares or rounds.

Poke 9 holes in each piece.

Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 200 degrees for one hour. Flip
pieces over and bake for one additional hour.

Hard tack was stored in boxes and barrels; the most important thing was
to keep it dry so it would not rot or get moldy. It was also very
popular with rats, so crewmembers did their best to keep rats away.
Killing rats provided a good source of fresh meat for the next meal, as
well!

After picking out any weevils with a knife, a sailor might soak the hard
tack in water or stew to soften it before eating it. Tougher crewmembers
would eat the weevils as a source of protein. Delicious!
***Capt. Luke Day to Gen. William Shepard, Jan. 25^th^, 1787***

\(a\) Whether or not cardiac hypertrophy or dilatation (documented by
electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, or X-ray) is present and whether or
not there is a need for continuous medication must be ascertained in all
cases.

\(b\) Even if the requirement for a 10% (based on the need for
continuous medication) or 30% (based on the presence of cardiac
hypertrophy or dilatation) evaluation is met, METs testing is required
in all cases except:

> \(1\) When there is a medical contraindication.
>
> \(2\) When the left ventricular ejection fraction has been measured
> and is 50% or less.
>
> \(3\) When chronic congestive heart failure is present or there has
> been more than one episode of congestive heart failure within the past
> year.
>
> \(4\) When a 100% evaluation can be assigned on another basis.

\(c\) If left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) testing is not of
record, evaluate based on the alternative criteria unless the examiner
states that the LVEF test is needed in a particular case because the
available medical information does not sufficiently reflect the severity
of the veteran's cardiovascular disability.
