No. 99-2129

CELESTE BOURGEOIS,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

STATE OF RHODE ISLAND, ET AL.,

Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

[Hon. Mary M. Lisi, U.S. District Judge]

Before

 Boudin, Circuit Judge,

Bownes, Senior Circuit Judge,

and Stahl, Circuit Judge.

Celeste Bourgeois on brief pro se.

Sheldon Whitehouse, Attorney General and J.O. Alston,

Special Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellees.

January 10, 2001
Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record

and of the parties’ submissions, we affirm, essentially for

the reasons set out by the magistrate judge in his report

and recommendation, dated August 5, 1999. We add only that

even if judgment had not been entered previously by the

state court, appellant received everything she was entitled

to receive under R.I. Gen. Laws § 12-25-6(b) (1993); no

alleged promises by state officials or others can change

that, and her misunderstanding of the terms of the

settlement cannot alter our analysis. Given this, any

alleged error by the district court in ordering certain

subpoenas quashed is harmless at best. Despite appellant’s

reasonable criticisms of the adequacy and speed of the

victim’s compensation system in Rhode Island, this court is

obligated to affirm.

Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).

Before the First Division,

September 10, 1947

No. 51892.

#### Eurasia Import Co., Inc. *v.*United States,

petitions 6570-R, etc. (New York).

Oliver, Presiding Judge:

These petitions are for remission of additional duties assessed under the provisions of section 489, Tariff Act of 1930, by reason of undervaluation on entry of certain merchandise, viz, corduroys and velveteens, imported from Japan and entered at the port of New York.

It appears that in 1939 and 1940 the petitioning company herein made more than 100 entries covering this type of merchandise and that numerous conferences were held between representatives of the company and the examiner with respect to value. The importer disagreed with the value found by the examiner and made up several test eases which were decided in the Government’s favor. On review, the single judge was reversed and a decision in favor of the importer was rendered. Subsequently, on appeal by the Government, our appellate court sustained the values found by the reviewing division as base values but remanded the case to the division to consider the questions of the dutiability of commission and control fees.

Thereafter, a compromise was effected by adding the commission and control fees. When these two items were added, the values of the merchandise, while considerably less than the appraised values, were slightly higher than the entered values and resulted in the imposition of the additional duties which occasioned the filing of this petition.

Ruben Goldberg, secretary of the importing company, testified that representatives of the company had many conferences with the examiner before entry concerning the value of the merchandise; that they cooperated fully with the customs officials in establishing a value and that there was no intent at any time to deceive the appraiser or to defraud the customs or the Government of the United States of any moneys due (R. 5).

Counsel for the Government offered no testimony and expressed agreement with the facts as set forth by petitioner’s counsel and the testimony of the witness for the petitioner. It was further adduced at the hearing that the former examiner who passed upon the instant merchandise and the customs agent who had conducted investigations in the foreign market reported that in their opinion there was no attempt to conceal or misrepresent the facts of the case.

From the record it is apparent that entry of the merchandise at less than the final appraised value was without any intent to defraud the revenue of the United States, conceal or misrepresent the facts of the case, or to deceive the appraiser as to the value of the merchandise.

The petition is therefore granted.
Before the Second Division,

June 9, 1964

No. 68618.

#### Durst Mfg. Co., Inc. *v.*United States,

protests 261721-K, etc. (New York).

*371Opinion by

Lawrence, J.

In accordance with stipulation of counsel that the merchandise consists of rotary lawn sprinklers or metal parts thereof similar in all material respects to those the subject of *The Durst Mfg. Co., Inc.*v. *United States*(50 CCPA 56, C.A.D. 820), the claim of the plaintiff was sustained.

## The Impact of Pellet Fuel Ash Content on Particulate Emission Performance of Pellet Heaters

10 - 21 - 2010

# Background

• Many of the certified pellet heaters were tested using pellets with very low ash content (< 0.5%). • These pellets are made from softwood feed stock and are produced in the Pacific Northwest. • These pellets are commonly available for the lab that conducted much of the pellet heater certification testing. • Pellets that are most commonly available in other areas of the country where pellet heaters are popular are generally hardwood or mixed wood and have higher ash content (>1%).

10 - 21 - 2010

### • There was supposition that higher ash fuels would result in higher particulate emissions.

– This was based on observations made by pellet heater manufacturers when they tested other fuel types (corn, grains, hulls, etc.) that were known to have higher ash content than wood pellets.

10 - 21 - 2010

### • There was almost no data directly comparing low and high ash wood pellet fuels in the same heater using the same test method. • There was concern over the impacts on BDT since different pellets might produce different results, even when the burn settings are optimized.

10 - 21 - 2010

### • This concern expands further when other fuel types are considered (corn, grain, hulls, pits, switch grass, etc.)

10 - 21 - 2010

# Action

• HPBA has been working to obtain data that will shed some light on this potential problem. • Some comparison testing has been conducted, both in manufacturer labs and one EPA accredited lab. • The results obtained to date are shown in the following table.

10 - 21 - 2010

# Test Results (To - date)

10 - 21 - 2010

### • There is one softwood versus hardwood pellet test series that has been completed but the data has not been QA’d. This data will be added will be available within a few days.

10 - 21 - 2010

# Conclusions

• Based on the limited data obtained so far, it appears that higher ash pellets will produce higher levels of particulate emissions. • Due to the fact that pellet heaters include combustion air blowers, it is likely that the additional PM collected with the higher ash fuels is primarily ash (inorganic) that has been entrained in the exhaust flow. • The higher ash pellet fuels dominate the available pellet fuel supply in areas other than the west coast (primarily due to available feedstock for the pellet mills).

10 - 21 - 2010• An assessment of the impact on BDT determination must be made before pellet heater emission levels (passing grade(s)) can be set within the revised NSPS. • The performance of pellet heaters on higher ash fuels can still provide a clean - burning option. • Without considering this issue, alternative bio fuel development and heater development for those fuels could be stifled.
