# AGENCY:

Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

# ACTION:

Rescind notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement.

# SUMMARY:

The FTA, in cooperation with the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT), is issuing this Notice to advise the public that we are rescinding the 2007 Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a previous proposal for the Restoration of Rail Service in the Northern Branch Corridor Project from North Bergen to Englewood in Hudson and Bergen Counties, New Jersey.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    The FTA, as the lead Federal agency, in cooperation with the NJ TRANSIT, published an NOI in the                     **Federal Register**                     on October 2, 2007 (72 FR 56123) to prepare an EIS for the proposed Northern Branch Project. The Northern Branch Project EIS was being advanced to study the restoration of rail passenger service on the Northern Branch rail corridor between North Bergen, Hudson County, and Englewood, Bergen County. Based on FTA's most recent review of the Project, FTA has decided to rescind the NOI due to all-encompassing changes in the Project design and environmental impacts in the following areas: floodplains, stormwater management, cultural resources, hazardous materials, traffic and parking, and air quality, all of which have occurred since 2007.                

Comments and questions concerning the proposed action should be directed to FTA at the address provided above.

The Honorable Hilda L. Solis

Secretary
United States Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20210

Dear Secretary Solis:
paged rb
to expand the term “fiduciary” to include Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) annual bal
appraisers. See 75 Fed. Reg. 65263 (Oct. 22, 2010). We represent states whose economies are
dependent upon the strength of our small businesses, and as such we have a strong interest in
the continued vitality of ESOPs. There are over 260 ESOPs in our states, and according to the
ESOP Association, there are approximately 11,500 ESOPs in the U.S. employing 10 million
workers. More than twenty percent of ESOPs nationwide are in the manufacturing sector. The
majority of ESOP companies also have defined benefit pension plans or 401(k) plans as

supplemental retirement options.

ESOPs are subject to annual valuations by appraisers. The DOL’s proposed rule would
expand the definition of fiduciaries to include these appraisers, on the rationale that they are
“rendering” financial advice. We have met with ESOP small business representatives from our
states, who tell us that if this proposed rule were implemented, it would increase the current
average cost of valuations from the $6,000 - $10,000 range to $25,000 - $40,000, as well as
significantly increase the appraisers’ liability. In light of the myriad of regulations small
businesses already face, and given our challenging economic climate, we should avoid taking
any action which could discourage private sector job growth. The current rule has existed for

35 years, and we sce no compelling reason to change it now.

Furthermore, Americans are feeling increasingly uncertain about their retirement

security. With fewer and fewer businesses providing pensions, the continued success of
ESOPs as another retirement option is essential. Businesses that utilize ESOPs engage in profit

sharing by annually contributing to trusts, and then granting employees shares of those trusts.
These shares accumulate throughout the course of the employees’ careers and provide a
significant benefit to employees when they retire or change jobs.

ESOPs play an important role in providing retirement security for millions of Americans,
and should not be burdened with unnecessary regulations. If the DOL finds that a company’s
ESOP shares are incorrectly valued, the Department should use its enforcement powers to
address that situation. We believe it is unnecessary to impose new regulations on all ESOPs in
order to rectify errors that the DOL could instead handle on a case by case basis.


We thank you in advance for your consideration of the concerns we have raised in this
letter.

Sincerely,
SUSAN M., COLLINS SCOTT P. BROWN

Gates issues statement on McChrystal profile
 By None  , Department of Defense
  WASHINGTON (June 22,  2010) –    Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates issued a statement today  regarding a profile article on Army Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal,  commander of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. forces  in Afghanistan. Here is the secretary’s statement: “I read with concern the  profile piece on Gen. Stanley McChrystal in the upcoming edition of  ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine. I believe that Gen. McChrystal made a  significant mistake and exercised poor judgment in this case. We are  fighting a war against al Qaeda and its extremist allies, who directly  threaten the United States, Afghanistan, and our friends and allies  around the world. Going forward, we must pursue this mission with a  unity of purpose. Our troops and coalition partners are making  extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our security, and our singular  focus must be on supporting them and succeeding in Afghanistan without  such distractions. Gen. McChrystal has apologized to me and is similarly  reaching out to others named in this article to apologize to them as  well. I have recalled Gen. McChrystal to Washington to discuss this in  person.”

# Strike conducted in Syria

/ Published July 12, 2022

July 12, 2022

Release Number 20220712-01

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAMPA, Fla. - U.S. Central Command Forces conducted a UAS strike outside Jindayris, northwest Syria targeting two senior ISIS officials, July 12, 2022. Maher al-Agal, one of the top five ISIS leaders and the leader of ISIS in Syria, was killed in the strike. A senior ISIS official closely associated with Maher was seriously injured during the strike. Extensive planning went into this operation to ensure its successful execution. An initial review indicates there were no civilian casualties.

In addition to being a senior leader within the group, Al-Agal was responsible for aggressively pursuing the development of ISIS networks outside of Iraq and Syria. 

"This strike reaffirms CENTCOM's steadfast commitment to the region and the enduring defeat of ISIS," said Col. Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesperson. "The removal of these ISIS leaders will disrupt the terrorist organization's ability to further plot and carry out global attacks."

"ISIS continues to represent a threat to the U.S. and partners in the region," Buccino added. "CENTCOM maintains a sufficient and sustainable presence in the region and will continue to counter threats against regional security."

Subject: Fiduciary Definition Hearing

Dear Sir or Madam:

Charles Yocum and Justin Tomevi, request that they be permitted to testify at the hearing

concerning the proposed regulations defining the term "fiduciary."  (We wish to share the 10‐

minute time period allotted to witnesses.)   We are law students at the Earle Mack School of Law

at Drexel University who are interested in employee benefits and are working on a research

project on the meaning of fiduciary under ERISA.   

An outline of the proposed topics that would be covered by our comments follows:

I.  The definition of investment advice in the proposed regulations may result in some increased

costs, but some existing costs should be reduced as fiduciary responsibility is spread among a

broader group of investment advisers.  Moreover, the potential benefits to plan participants of

proposed regulation will exceed the regulations’ cost.

2.  Individual participants in 401(k) plans will often lack the sophistication to understand that a

seller or purchaser of securities can have substantial conflicts of interest, even in the context of

disclosure of such conflicts.  Thus, the limitation in the proposed regulations that deals with

purchasers and seller of securities should be revised so that it does not apply to advice given to

participants, or at least clarified so that its application to advice given to participants is

narrowed.

3.  The valuation of non‐publically traded securities is investment advice.  Consultants who value

such securities sometimes provide a shield for a plan fiduciary with dual loyalties, which can be

problematic if the valuations are tilted in one direction or another.  Moreover, valuation may

sometimes blind themselves to their own conflicts of interest when valuing securities.  (The

situation may be different, however, when the plan hires an independent fiduciary to negotiate

the purchase or sale of non‐publically traded securities on behalf of a plan and the independent

fiduciary hires a consulting firm to value the securities for use in setting a purchase or sales

price.)

4.  Bad advice on how a participant should take a distribution can harm participants in a variety

of ways.  The advice is a type of investment advice and should be treated as such.  It may be

important for the Department to use its enforcement powers in this area, because there may be

limits on the effectiveness of remedies that a participant can obtain in a private civil action

under ERISA.

5.  The current regulations include many vague and subjective criteria for determining whether a

person is a fiduciary because of the rendering of investment advice.   
Sincerely,  

Charles Yokum

Justin Tomevi

# Feb. 21: Military Airstrikes Continue Against ISIL in Syria and Iraq

/ Published Feb. 21, 2015

February 21, 2015

Release # 20150221FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**SOUTHWEST ASIA** - On Feb. 20, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using bomber aircraft to conduct an airstrike. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted five airstrikes in Iraq, using attack and fighter aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Feb. 20, and 8 a.m., Feb. 21, local time.

The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

Syria
      - Near Kobani, an airstrike destroyed two ISIL fighting positions.

Iraq
      - Near Al Asad, an airstrike destroyed six ISIL boats.
      - Near Ar Rutbah, an airstrike destroyed an ISIL vehicle.
      - Near Mosul, an airstrike destroyed an ISIL fighting position.
      - Near Sinjar, two airstrikes struck an ISIL large tactical unit, an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed five ISIL buildings.

Airstrike assessments are based on initial reports. All aircraft returned to base safely.

The strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to eliminate the ISIL terrorist group and the threat they pose to Iraq, Syria, the region, and the wider international community. The destruction of ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the terrorist group's ability to project terror and conduct operations. Coalition nations which have conducted airstrikes in Iraq include the U.S., Australia,Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Coalition nations which have conducted airstrikes in Syria include the U.S., Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

General Comment

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I appreciate the concern on the part of our government regarding my ability to make money
decisions and manage my assets in retirement. I do not, however, agree that the US Government
can do a better job at that task than I. My wife and I have worked for many years and managed
to save and manage our assets. I am in no hurry to turn over this property that we have worked
to earn to the US Government in exchange for their promise of payments sometime in the future.
We saved for our retirement because we believed that Social Security might not be around for us
and we also knew that we could not depend on an employer to care for us in our golden years. I
do not think it to be proper for the Government to take what we have saved in our planning to
cover for the greed and/or misappropriation of others. I am opposed to any "regulation or other
means" by which the US Government would attempt to enhance my retirement by taking my
savings now for a promise of help later.

Afghan EOD Tech nears qualification, trains own force

 FORWARD OPERATING BASE SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan (Feb. 12, 2013) — Afghan Border Police explosive ordnance disposal technicians are one step closer to being qualified after a joint training validation event with U.S. Air Force EOD technicians here, Feb. 5.Being validated will allow the Afghan Border Police (ABP) to receive more equipment to train more technicians, and respond safely to improvised explosive devices (IED) in the Spin Boldak district of Afghanistan.Afghan Border Police 1st Lt. Azim Noori, the 3rd Zone, Quick Reaction Force Kandak lead technician, has attended three counter-IED and explosives schools that totaled six months, and is currently the 3rd Zone primary counter-IED instructor for the Explosive Hazard Reduction Course (EHRC) in Kandahar.“I have trained 40 other guys at the EHRC for this Zone,” said Noori. “For me, this training is good practice.”“He has been very interested in training,” said U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Allen P. Middaugh, an EOD technician from Canton, Ohio, serving with Team 6, 466B Flight, Task Force Paladin. “Everything we teach him gets spread out throughout the entire ABP force as well.”Noori’s interest in training has led him to work toward becoming a qualified EOD technician. The last thing Noori needs to become qualified is to be validated on four operations by an International Security Assistance Force EOD team.The Air Force EOD team is trying to validate Noori on one operation during this joint training, but it is also important that the ISAF teams incorporate training for themselves at the same time.“We want to make sure it’s not just the ABP guys,” said Middaugh. “We wanted to do joint training so we are all getting the same amount. We each set up our own IED. Everyone works on someone else’s so you don’t know exactly what’s there.”The training is important. With an impending departure of ISAF forces, the ABP will have qualified EOD technicians ready.“The ABP understands how important this validation process is,” said Middaugh. “They will be taking over when we leave.”“The training was very important because today’s war is IEDs,” said Noori. “The enemy is not fighting with us. We are facing IEDs.”“Everyone is working hard, whether its ANA or local police,” said Noori. “It’s a job we are proud of. We are putting our own lives in danger just to make it safe for other people.”
