§ 50.33 Allocation of premium income associated with entities that do share profits and losses with private sector insurers. ( a ) *Servicing carriers.* For purposes of this subpart, a servicing carrier is an insurer that enters into an agreement to place and service insurance contracts for a state residual market insurance entity or a state workers' compensation fund and to cede premiums associated with such insurance contracts to the State residual market insurance entity or State workers' compensation fund. Premiums written by a servicing carrier on behalf of a state residual market insurance entity or State workers' compensation fund that are ceded to such an entity or fund shall not be included as direct earned premium (as described in § 50.4(h)(1) or (2)) of the servicing carrier.

§ 206.9 Charges. ( a ) Within 30 days of the effective date of the charge or the appeals decision, an agency must submit appropriate accounting information to the Service's Assistant Commissioner, Federal Finance. The charge will be calculated following procedures outlined in I TFM 6-8000, and will be assessed for each month that noncompliance continues.
( b ) *Collection noncompliance.* In the case of cash management collection noncompliance, an agency will absorb the charge from amounts appropriated or otherwise made available to carry out the program to which the collections relate. Charges collected from an executive agency in the case of cash management collection noncompliance will be deposited in the Cash Management Improvements Fund as outlined in § 206.10.
( c ) *Payment noncompliance.* [Reserved]
( d ) If an agency does not voluntarily pay the charge assessed under § 206.9(a), the Service will debit the appropriate account automatically. By failing to pay voluntarily the charges as required by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, an agency will be deemed to authorize the automatic debit to its account.
( e ) The Commissioner will formally terminate the charge when the Commissioner has determined that an agency has complied. In addition, on an annual basis, the Commissioner will review an agency's performance and calculation of the charge, and will notify an agency in writing of any changes to the amount being charged.

Boutique Fuels List Under Section 

1541(b) of the Energy Policy Act 

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to publish a list of fuels 

that are approved in all State Implementation Plans (SIPs). The 

list includes the states and Petroleum Administration for Defense 

Districts (PADDs) where the fuels are used. Publication of the list is 

intended to reduce the number of different fuels required around the 

country and, thus, increase the fungibility of fuels. This list finalizes 

a draft list of boutique fuels put forth in June, and will serve as the 

basis for any future adoption of boutique fuels. 

Background 

The EPAct required EPA, in consultation with the Department of Energy, to 

determine the total number of fuels approved into all SIPs as of September 1, 

2004. The EPAct also required EPA to publish a list of such fuels (often referred to as “boutique fuels”), including the states and PADDs in which they 

are used. 

The boutique fuel provision in the EPAct makes an effort to reduce the number of different fuels required around the country and thus, increase the 

fungibility of fuels. 

Most fuels travel through common carrier pipelines based upon general specifications, most of which are dictated seasonally and by regulation. Terminals 

have limited storage tanks. The proliferation of different fuels creates a serious challenge to production, distribution, and storage, especially during times 

of disruption such as refinery shutdowns or weather related damage. The list 

and the EPAct limitations placed upon EPA’s ability to approve future fuels in 

SIPs are intended by Congress to limit further expansion of boutique fuels. 

Office of Transportation and Air Quality 

EPA420-F-06-065 

December 2006 
Health and Environmental Impacts 

Fuels programs will continue to provide clean air and human health benefits. Many fuels 

programs are designed to address ground level ozone or “smog” and to reduce toxic 

emissions from the fuel burned in cars and trucks. Smog threatens the health of millions of Americans each year, and is particularly dangerous to children and individuals 

with respiratory problems.

# 									Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month							

May 1, 2021

During Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we proudly celebrate Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States and pay tribute to the generations who have enriched and strengthened our nation. The U.S. is home to millions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, representing a diverse array of cultures and traditions. Many serve here at the Department of State and throughout the U.S. government. We celebrate their contributions. In January, 2021, the White House issued a memorandum condemning and combating racism against Asian American and Pacific Islanders and in March, 2021, announced additional actions to respond to Anti-Asian violence, xenophobia, and bias. The Department of State strongly supports these actions. We stand with the AAPI community and are grateful for their talent, contributions, and innovation across our nation.

Press Statement

Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State

July 5, 2022

On behalf of the Government of the United States of America, I extend my best wishes to the Government of Algeria and its people on the anniversary of Algeria’s independence on July 5.

Our ties stretch back to the 1795 Treaty of Peace and Amity. Since then, Algerians and Americans have developed strong and growing economic, educational, and cultural connections. I visited Algeria in March to discuss with President Tebboune and Foreign Minister Lamamra how we can continue to deepen these ties. To this end, the United States appreciated being the Country of Honor at the recent Algiers International Fair and looks forward to advancing our shared economic and security interests.

I congratulate Algeria on this important day and extend my best wishes.
