RE: Product Exclusion Request Number: USTR-2018-0025-4666

Seaboard International, Inc:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the product exclusion request referenced 

above has been denied. As you are aware, USTR published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 

28710) on June 20, 2018, that announced the Trade Representative’s determination to impose an 

additional duty of 25 percent on certain products from China. On July 11, 2018, the Trade 

Representative published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 32181) which announced that a 

process had been established under which interested persons could request that products falling 

within a covered HTSUS subheading be excluded from the additional duties announced on June 

20.

Your request was reviewed in accordance with the factors and procedures set forth in 

Section B(1) of the July 11 notice. Based on that review, and after careful consideration, your 

request was denied because the request failed to show that the imposition of additional duties on 

the particular product would cause severe economic harm to you or other U.S. interests.

Because USTR will grant exclusion requests on a product specific basis, you may still 

benefit from a product exclusion if a similar product is granted an exclusion. Products for which 

an exclusion has been granted will be periodically announced on the USTR website. Product 

exclusions will become legally effective once published in the Federal Register. 

Sincerely,

Stephen P. Vaughn

RE: Product Exclusion Request Number: USTR-2018-0025-2849

Speck Pumps-Pool Products, Inc: 

I am pleased to notify you that the United States Trade Representative has determined to 

grant the above-referenced exclusion request submitted pursuant to the notice published at 83 FR 

32181 (‘July 11 notice’). The exclusion determination is set out in a formal notice which has 

been submitted to Office of the Federal Register for publication (‘the exclusion notice’). A prepublication version of the exclusion notice has been posted on the USTR website, at 

https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/Notice_of_Product_Exclusions.

pdf. 

The scope of the exclusion is governed by the formal HTSUS language in the annex to 

the product exclusion notice, and not by the product descriptions set out in any particular request 

for exclusion. An exclusion in response to your request has been granted by excluding from the 

additional tariffs products covered by a specially drafted description contained in the annex to 

the product exclusion notice. 

In accordance with the July 11 notice, the exclusion applies as of the July 6, 2018 

effective date of the tariff action, and will extend for one year after the exclusion notice is 

published in the Federal Register. As stated in the exclusion notice, U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection will issue additional instructions on entry guidance and implementation

United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee. 
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See

Local Rule 36(c). 

OPINION

PER CURIAM: 

Steven Andre Reed appeals his conviction and sentence of twelve

months and one day of imprisonment pursuant to his guilty plea for

theft of government property, 18 U.S.C.A. § 614 (West 2000). We

affirm. 

Reed raises two issues on appeal. First, he argues that his residence

was illegally searched pursuant to a defective warrant, therefore, the

evidence seized during that search should be suppressed and the sentence vacated. In the alternative, Reed argues that the district court

erred in applying a two-level enhancement for abuse of a position of

trust under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 3B1.3 (1998). 

We review the district court’s factual findings for clear error and

the legal conclusions de novo, United States v. Kitchens, 114 F.3d 29,

31 (4th Cir. 1997), and accord substantial deference to the judgment

of the magistrate issuing the search warrant, United States v. Oloyede,

982 F.2d 133, 138 (4th Cir. 1992). The district court made factual

findings of a permissible inference between the location of the stolen

property and Reed’s residence, therefore, concluding that the warrant

was supported by probable cause. See United States v. Anderson, 851

F.2d 727, 729 (4th Cir. 1988). Finding no reversible error, we affirm

the denial of Reed’s motion to suppress the evidence. 

Section 3B1.3 of the Guidelines provides for a two-level increase

if a defendant "abused a position of public or private trust . . . in a

manner that significantly facilitated the commission or concealment

of the offense." USSG § 3B1.3. On appeal, this Court will reverse a

district court’s imposition of an enhancement based on a defendant’s

abuse of a position of trust only if the court’s determination is clearly

erroneous. See United States v. Helton, 953 F.2d 867, 869 (4th Cir.

1992). Finding no such clear error, we affirm Reed’s conviction and

2 UNITED STATES v. REED
sentence. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid in the decisional process.

RE: Product Exclusion Request Number USTR-2018-0025-2939

Ghost Controls LLC:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the product exclusion request referenced 

above has been denied. As you are aware, USTR published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 

28710) on June 20, 2018, that announced the Trade Representative’s determination to impose an 

additional duty of 25 percent on certain products from China. On July 11, 2018, the Trade 

Representative published a Federal Register notice (83 FR 32181) which announced that a 

process had been established under which interested persons could request that products falling 

within a covered HTSUS subheading be excluded from the additional duties announced on June 

20.

Your request was reviewed in accordance with the factors and procedures set forth in 

Section B(1) of the July 11 notice. Based on that review, and after careful consideration, your 

request was denied because the request did not contain a sufficient product identification or was 

determined to be non-administrable.

Because USTR will grant exclusion requests on a product specific basis, you may still 

benefit from a product exclusion if a similar product is granted an exclusion. Products for which 

an exclusion has been granted will be periodically announced on the USTR website. Product 

exclusions will become legally effective once published in the Federal Register.

#### In the Matter of David C. and Others, Children Alleged to be Neglected or Abused.

Order unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: In 1984, respondent’s three children were removed from her home and placed in foster care, *974and in December 1985 a finding of child abuse was made by Family Court because of respondent’s sexual abuse of the children. A permanent neglect petition was filed on February 19, 1987, alleging respondent’s failure to plan for the future of the children from March 1985 until February 19, 1987, and seeking termination of her parental rights. We concur with Family Court’s determination that respondent failed to plan adequately for her children’s future. The stipulated facts establish that respondent had attended and been terminated from numerous counselling programs because she made no progress in dealing with the issue of sexual abuse. Further, the counsellors concluded that any progress by respondent in resolving the issue of her sexually abusive behavior was unlikely. These facts establish that respondent failed to take any genuine steps toward recognizing her problem and changing her attitude and pattern of behavior *(see, Matter of Nathaniel T.,*67 NY2d 838, 841). Since respondent failed to take any steps to correct the condition that led to the removal of the children from her home, she has failed to plan for the future of the children and the finding of permanent neglect was proper *(see, Matter of Nathaniel T., supra,*at 841-842; *Matter of LeBron,*140 AD2d 276, 277; *Matter of Regina M. C.,*139 AD2d 929; *Dutchess County Dept. of Social Servs. v G.,*141 Misc 2d 641). (Appeal from order of Onondaga County Family Court, Hedges, J.—terminate parental rights.) Present—Dillon, P.
