RE: The tariff classification of a costume set from China.

Dear Mr. Hoffacker:

In your letter dated April 22, 2003, on behalf of Big Lot Stores, Inc.,
you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be
returned to you.

Your submitted sample, style HWG-006-KB-8, is a girls' Halloween Witch
Costume. The well-made costume consists of a 100% polyester knit dress.
The dress features a round neckline with overlock stitching, long leg of
mutton puffed sleeves with sequins on the ends. The dress also has an
approximately 7 inch wide inset with a star and moon print extending the
entire length of the dress, a net fabric overskirt on all but the front
inset of the dress and a raw edge at the bottom of the dress.
Examination reveals that the dress is constructed of a warp knit and
knit net fabric and is not woven as stated by you. The set also features
a witch's hat.

GRI 3(b) is applicable when the goods are, prima facie, classifiable
under two or more headings, and have been put up in sets for retail
sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods "shall be classified as if they
consisted of the material component which gives them their essential
character." In this case, the dress imparts the essential character of
the set

The applicable subheading for style HWG-006-KB-8 will be 6104.43.2020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers,
dresses, . . . : knitted or crocheted: dresses: of synthetic fibers:
other, girls'. The duty rate will be 16.1 percent ad valorem.

Style HWG-006-KB-8 falls within textile category designation 636. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of China 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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 646-733-3053.

RE: Docket No OW-2004-0035: Agency Information Collection Activities:
Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Technical Survey: Drinking Water
Treatment Facilities, EPA ICR Number 2176.01.

Dear Mr. Siddiqui:

Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the proposed ICR. The City
of Columbus, Division of Water currently operates three drinking water
treatment plants with an average annual water production of 53.3 billion
gallons. Our water plant's treatment residuals are already regulated by
the Ohio EPA through six active NPDES permits. The state of Ohio NPDES
program adequately manages residual streams throughout the state;
therefore, it is not necessary for Ohio utilities to be encumbered by
additional or repetitive regulations. Adding regulations of this type
will merely complicate an already successful program.

The above comment is prepared with the intent to continue our effective
working relationship with the USEPA; to enhance the quality of life for
people living, working, and raising families in Central Ohio by
providing efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible public
utilities. That is our mission.

Thank you once again for considering our comment. We appreciate the
opportunity to review and comment on proposed rules and regulations. If
you have any questions, please call or email Matt Steele at (614)
645-7691 or [MKSteele@Columbus.gov](../MKSteele@Columbus.gov).

Report No. SPB-168 April 19, 2001

**MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME GRANTED**

**IN IB DOCKET NO. 00-248**

On December 14, 2000, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) in IB Docket No. 00-248, seeking comment on several
proposals to streamline the earth station license processing rules in
Part 25 of its rules, 47 C.F.R. Part 25. Comments in this proceeding
were due on March 26, 2001, and replies are scheduled to be filed on or
before April 23, 2001.

On April 16, 2001, the Satellite Industry Association (SIA) filed a
motion to extend the date for filing replies by 30 days, to May 23,
2001. SIA asserts that its members are in the process of developing a
consensus approach with respect to many issues regarding geosynchronous
orbit (GSO) satellite use of the Ku-band in the fixed-satellite service
(FSS), and those parties need an additional 30 days to reach agreement.
SIA also requests that all interested parties be allowed to file replies
on or before May 23, 2001.

The Commission does not routinely grant motions for extension of time.
*See* 47 C.F.R. § 1.46(a). We conclude, however, that SIA\'s efforts to
develop a consensus approach to Ku-band GSO FSS issues may facilitate
the resolution of those issues, and so may further the public interest.
Accordingly, we will allow all interested parties in this proceeding
some additional time to file replies. However, we find that 14 days,
rather the requested 30 days, is sufficient time to develop a consensus.

Replies in IB Docket No. 00-248 are now due on or before **May 7,
2001.**

Dear Mr. Boyd:

In his March 7 letter to Mr. Richard Powers of my staff, Mr. James
Albritten requested formal Federal Highway Administration acceptance of
several transition designs. These designs were developed for use at
locations where your TRACC impact attenuator is connected to a concrete
safety shape or to a w-beam or Thrie-beam median barrier, thus making it
susceptible to wrong-way hits. He requested further that my reply be
addressed to you.

Mr. Dwight A. Horne's November 13, 1998 acceptance of the TRACC
attenuator inferred acceptance of some conceptual transition designs,
but requested detailed drawings for our files. Mr. Albritten's letter
included copies of the TRACC Design Manual and the TRACC Installation
and Repair Manual. The former document included detailed transition
drawings.

Following staff review of your proposed transitions, several
modifications were recommended for the connection to the New Jersey
concrete shape. The final design, as shown in the enclosed drawing dated
05/10/02, is considered acceptable for use on the National Highway
System and replaces the drawing previously included in the TRACC Design
Manual. The w-beam and Thrie-beam transition designs are acceptable as
currently shown in the TRACC Design Manual. The reduced post spacings
shown for the metal-beam median barriers are consistent with several
bridge rail transition designs that have been successfully crash tested
to NCHRP Report 350 criteria. In lieu of the 10-gauge w-beam sections
shown in your transition drawings, nested 12-gauge w-beam could be used,
just as it is in all crashworthy bridge rail transition designs.

Sincerely yours,

(original signed by Harry W. Taylor)

**New insights on nuclear architecture and DNA repair gained from
quantitative analysis of mFISH data**

Chromosome aberrations are illegitimate rearrangements of the genome
involving large (\>1 Mb) DNA fragments and occurring during the early
part of the cell cycle. Such large-scale structural changes are
frequently associated with genetic diseases or cancer and are the
signature of DNA damaging agents such as ionizing radiation. Many
chromosome aberrations can be detected by combinatorial painting assays
such as multiplex fluorescence *in-situ* hybridization (mFISH) or
spectral karyotyping (SKY).

In this talk I will present two examples of how computational approaches
can help obtain biological information from distributions of radiation
induced chromosome aberrations. In the first example our group analyzed
chromosome aberrations to characterize any systematic spatial clustering
of chromosomes. We found two clusters of chromosomes, {1,16,19,21, 22}
and {13,14,15,21,22} whose members appear on average closer to each
other than randomness would predict. In a second example we analyzed a
similar data set using CAS (chromosome aberration simulator) and the
graph-theoretical concept of cycles to investigate chromosome aberration
formation pathways. We concluded that cycles can distinguish between
different mechanisms of chromosome aberration production and that the
breakage-and-reunion pathway dominates homology-based mechanisms of
aberration formation.

Why NTMA Supports NIMS

This industry is probably among the most technologically advanced of all
small manufacturing activities with widespread use of CAD/CAM techniques
and CNC machines. Successful companies increasingly depend on the highly
refined skills of machinists and toolmakers. That is why NTMA is taking
the lead in defining the capabilities that employees will need to
succeed in the high-skill economy of the 21^st^ century.

NTMA supports NIMS because it represents the missing link between
education and industry. Industry managers, skilled workers, trainers and
technicians- the individuals who actually do the work- have identified
and prioritized the duties, knowledge and skills required in each job
category.

NTMA urges its members to:

-   Use the NIMS standards in recruiting, hiring, promotion and training
    efforts,

-   Encourage vendors and customers to adopt the standards,

-   Contact local educators and partner with them to write curricula
    benchmarked to NIMS standards.

NTMA believes that the Metalworking Skill Standards and NIMS
credentialing should be implemented nationally to establish:

-   Common, objective standards to evaluate the skill levels of
    prospective or current employees,

-   Uniform documentation of training and performance,

-   Portable credentials that recognize the skills of individuals,

-   Criteria for developing effective educational/apprenticeship
    programs,

-   Methods to conform to ISO/QE/TE 9000 requirements for benchmarking
    and training.

The National Tooling and Machining Association is the national
representative of the custom precision manufacturing industry and
includes approximately 50 local chapters throughout the United States.
Member companies design and manufacture special tools, dies, jigs,
fixtures, special machines and precision machined parts.

ABSTRACT

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a family of enzymes involved in
modifying chromatin structure and regulating gene expression. There are
eighteen different isoforms of HDACs and they have been characterized
into three classes. HDACs 1-11 (classes I and II) are zinc hydrolases
and contain the same catalytic machinery. The class III HDACs, called
sirtuins (SIRT1-7), require the cofactor NAD+ for activity and act by a
different catalytic mechanism than classes I and II. The Mrksich group
has begun to study HDAC8 substrate specificity using a label-free
activity assay that combines self assembled monolayers with matrix
assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, termed SAMDI,
and is looking to compare the specificity of different HDACs. One issue
is that these enzymes are not always commercially available, can be
quite expensive, and have been previously reported to be difficult to
express in bacterial systems. In this research project, HDAC8 and SIRT2
were expressed and purified in *E coli* using pET-21a and pET-32c
respectively, for further studies with the SAMDI assay. These enzymes
were expressed with a C-terminal His tag and were purified using a
Cobalt affinity column. The expressed HDAC8 exhibited the same
specificity as the commercially available enzyme with both positive and
negative control substrates. The future goal of this research is to
express as many HDACs as possible to compare their specificities in
order to understand nature's need for eighteen different HDACs.

**Problem**: throttle job submissions based on computational resources
effectively. Current programming components do not support easy
utilization of this. Ideal solution would continue to use MIC with PN
nested, but this is not allowed (MIC requires a director to be included
within it).

**Solution**: Can a combination of the job submission actor and job
monitoring actor be expanded to include this throttling capability

**Action items**:

-   Dan / Norbert: come up with specific solution to throttling problem
    for Karen

-   George / Leena: include throttling capability within capability
    based actors

**Problem**: Kepler memory footprint is huge. Can this be reduced?

**Solution**: Kepler core problem? Better packaging? Dynamic loading?
Deploy exportable workflow that only contains the required classes?

**Problem**: Actors change under the covers, when updating Kepler you
automatically get new actors.

**Solution**: KAR files are being used to create self-contained workflow
executables (Chad is working on this). May want to improve versioning
capability as well.

**Problem**: Need to have application access to provenance DB.

**Action items**:

-   Dan: work on provenance filter

-   Terence: provide query interface document to Karen

**Problem**: Dialog boxes cause PN director to not exit java, because
swing thread cannot be known to terminate.

**Solution**: Bug in PN completion detection. Swing thread continues to
run, so the JVM continues to run.

**Action items:**

-   Jared to update to newer version of jsh actor, if problem is not
    corrected submit to Kepler-dev list

**Problem**: Development environment is limited by actor capabilities
being extremely private. Currently, using code overlays all the way from
Ptolemy

**Solution**: Kepler-core problem? Register classes instead of using
overlays?

**Problem**: Performance analysis tools are non-existant

**Solution**: Can we export provenance information into format that can
be analyzed by performance tool (such as netlogger)

**Action items**:

-   Dan: create performance chart from provenance information database

Action items:

-   Jared will send slides to Terence, who will forward to SPA group

-   Terence will send notes out to entire SPA team

-   Bertram to coordinate SPA needs with Kepler-Core, ensure SPA
    representation on Kepler-Core advisory board

# USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT OFFERS HOUSING IN NEBRASKA

# TO HURRICANE EVACUEES 

# 

**Lincoln, Neb., September 23, 2005---**Efforts continue by the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development in Nebraska to
meet the housing needs of hurricane evacuees arriving in the state.

"We have been working diligently with federal, state and local agencies
and numerous organizations to help house those left homeless due to
Hurricane Katrina," stated Nebraska State Director Scot Blehm, USDA
Rural Development.

USDA Rural Development officials at both state and national levels have
been assisting in Katrina relief efforts since the hurricane struck. In
Nebraska, USDA Rural Development has contacted and holds ongoing
communications with the Governor and Lieutenant Governor's offices, Red
Cross, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Nebraska Emergency
Management Agency, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,
Nebraska Investment Finance Authority, the Nebraska Department of
Economic Development, Peoples City Mission, multiple housing
authorities, rescue missions, churches and faith-based organizations and
various other organized efforts to assist in helping displaced victims.

"USDA Rural Development has over 400 rental units available statewide
for evacuees," continued Blehm. "As state and local agencies interview
persons displaced to Nebraska, USDA Rural Development housing
specialists stand ready to help. A woman from Biloxi, MS entered her
apartment last week in Lexington. An elderly man from New Orleans, LA
has been placed in a complex in Uehling. As the need occurs, we assist."

Housing units available to evacuees, are in rental apartment complexes
financed by USDA Rural Development through its' Rural Rental Housing
program. Due to the hurricane, certain regulations under this program
have been waived such as USDA Rural Development being authorized to
provide the complex's owner with a waiver for evacuees' security
deposit. Additionally, a provision has been granted to provide Rental
Assistance to evacuees for up to 6 months. For evacuees with no income,
Rental Assistance basically pays their monthly rent and provides funds
to help cover utility costs.

Stop 0224

Dear Ms. Riva:

The American Cotton Producers (ACP) of the National Cotton Council is
writing in support of the proposed amendment to the Cotton Board Rules
and Regulations that would increase the value assigned to imported
cotton. The ACP represents the interests of U.S. cotton producers from
Virginia to California within the National Cotton Council.

The ACP is a strong supporter of a viable Cotton Research and Promotion
program and considers it vital to interests of cotton producers in this
country and to importers of cotton textile products. It is important
that each of these groups be assessed equitably so as to fully comply
with the order and to provide for maximum funding for research and
promotion. The ACP also supports removing the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
numbers that were absorbed into the other HTS categories since the last
assessment adjustment.

We urge implementation of this change as soon as practical.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit these comments.

Sincerely,

ES&S Comments Electronic Voting System Security Controls (Summary and
Status), March 1, 2005

  ------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
  **Reference**       **Comment**

  General comment     Use of the NIST model (NIST Special Publication
                      (SP) 800-53) may be a good starting point from
                      which to work from. Another baseline process might
                      be to use the approach supported in the
                      international community through the use of Common
                      Criteria and the development of a security profile
                      via analysis and development of an election process
                      or election product / system specific threat model.
                      This may be more applicable to election
                      administration and election systems, whereas the
                      NIST model is more applicable to federal systems,
                      agencies, and organizations.

  General comment     If the NIST model is the starting point, as
                      suggested in the analysis, the next step of
                      examining each control and putting them into
                      context for voting systems (and elections
                      administration) is essential. Many of the controls
                      listed in the NIST model are not relative to the
                      elections community (e.g. certain aspects for high
                      degrees of automation, certain assumptions about
                      organizational capabilities, infrastructure
                      resources, and assumptions about centralization of
                      systems functionality, etc.)

JAN HOSKINSON, Public Information Coordinator (307) 233-6705

CITY, Date -- Sheridan, 02/23/07 - USDA Rural Development announced that
they will be honoring Ms. Bonnie Turner-Fiedor on February 23, 2007 at
11:00 am at the Griffith Building on the Sheridan College Campus.

USDA Rural Development will be presenting Ms. Bonnie Turner-Fiedor an
award for her cooperative contributions in promoting USDA Rural
Development Single Family Housing programs to the Sheridan College
campus and the Sheridan community.

Ms. Turner-Fiedor has worked very diligently the past several years to
host the housing fair at Sheridan College. The event has grown each year
and this year included the Sheridan Housing Action Committee (SHAC) and
Volunteers of America (VOA).

According to Del Tinsley, Wyoming State Director "It is people like Ms.
Turner-Fiedor that truly care about the rural residents of Wyoming. She
has proven that she will go the extra mile to assist the Sheridan
community. We are truly thankful for her participation and leadership in
this event."

USDA Rural Development provides loans in rural areas to finance homes
and building sites. Rural areas include open country and places with a
population of 10,000 or less and, under certain conditions, towns and
cities between 10,000 and 20,000 populations.

Individuals or businesses interested in further information regarding
the USDA Rural Development and our programs may call (307) 233-6700
(Wyoming State Office) or visit our web site at
<http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/wy/>.
**Dwarf Bunt Screening**

**2006-07 Western Regional Winter Wheat Entries**

Blair Goates, USDA-ARS, Aberdeen, ID

Below are the results from the dwarf bunt screening nursery at the
dryland Green Canyon site near Logan, Utah. The nursery was seeded
October 3, 2006 into moist soil. Each entry and Cheyenne positive
controls were seeded into two replicate 5 foot rows. The nursery site
has a considerable teliospore load in the soil from previous nurseries,
but in addition, the nursery was heavily inoculated with an aqueous
teliospore suspension consisting of a mixture of pathogenic races from
throughout the Pacific Northwest. Stands were excellent going into
winter and in the spring. Snow cover was somewhat erratic over the
winter resulting in mediocre disease pressure compared to the usual high
levels of disease pressure at the site, but there was sufficient
pressure to cause an average of about 40% bunted spikes in Cheyenne.
Timely rains during the spring and early summer produced nice looking
plants and a "pretty" nursery. Some entries came in treated with
fungicide (likely Dividend) precluding evaluation of resistance.

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 9027.10.2000

Mr. William R. Smith

Industrial Scientific Corporation

1001 Oakdale Road

Oakdale, PA 15071

RE: The tariff classification of a Multi-gas Monitor from United States
of America

Dear Mr. Smith:

In your letter dated June 2, 2008, you requested a tariff classification
ruling. No sample was provided.

Per the flyer you supplied, the ITX Multi-gas Monitor has "High, Low,
STEL, and TWA alarms for sensors."

It is able "to store up to 300 hours of survey data at one minute
intervals."

Per the picture, it can display several different gas measurements at
one time.

The displays are typically in .1 or 1 ppm (parts per million)
increments.

Since most of the sensors for the individual gases, e.g., CO, HCN, NO,
are stated to be "electrochemical," we take it to be "electrical" per
HTSUS Chapter 90, Additional U.S. Note 2.

Following, e.g., the distinctions in Headquarters Ruling Letter 967082
NSH, 6-4-04; it is a gas analysis device rather than a signaling
apparatus/alarm.

The applicable subheading for the ITX Multi-gas Monitor will be
9027.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS),
which provides for Electrical Gas or smoke analysis apparatus. The rate
of duty will be 1.7 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/.

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 J. Sheridan at 646-733-3012.

Robert B. Swierupski
