from all of the states. In this context, “checklist” means the list of inquiries (often a template) that states typically send at the beginning of reviews of rate increase filings. This document contains aspects of the NAIC Guidance Manual and checklists developed by several other states. This single checklist is not intended to prevent a state from asking for additional information. The intent is to take a step toward moving away from 50 states having 50 different checklists in order to have a more efficient process nationally to provide the most important information needed to determine an approvable rate increase. To keep the template at a manageable length, it is anticipated that this template will result in states attaining 90 to 100 percent of the information necessary to make a decision about determining approvable rate increases. State and block specifics will generate the other zero to 10 percent of requests. This consolidated checklist can be presented to the LTC B/E Task Force prior to or at the March 2018 NAIC national meeting. As states apply this checklist, this checklist or an improved version may be considered for future addition to the Guidance Manual.

The tool data (offsets) have to be found and entered at the machine. No external tool-setting equipment will be provided. (touch up) General Instructions Maximum working time is 4 hours at regional heats and 8 at the National Final At the start of the competition an allotted time will be allocated for work planning. This time is not part of the working time. The competition will consist of 2 module(s). All supplied equipment and materials must be accurately checked by the competitor upon commencing the competition. All materials and equipment must be marked out/used in the most economical method. Competitors will lose marks for any misplaced, lost or spoiled materials and/or equipment, where this is the result of competitor error. Minimum marks will not be awarded for dimensional accuracy or technical perfection where instructions have been disobeyed Marking Criteria Criterion ID Criterion Description Max Marks A Conformity of Drawing 12
B Surface Finish 14 C Main Dimensions 50 D Secondary Dimensions 20 E Use of material 4 Technical Guidance Due to marks being allocated for Surface Finish and Conformity to drawing the successful competitor must be able to identify and use the correct speed/feed and removal rates for all tooling used in order to remove material efficiently and still achieve Surface finish requirements. The competition modules will be designed to stretch competitor abilities and will be challenging within the time constraints so therefore competitors must focus on producing parts that may not be 100% complete but one with all features being dimensionally accurate.
Description of Use: A computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine is a specialised piece of plant used to machine metal by removing material from a rotating work piece via the movement of various cutting pieces (e.g. tool bits, drill bits). The CNC machine is computer controlled and programmable with user interaction only required when setting up cutting piece and installing work piece. Most CNC machines work behind a guard or even a closed, transparent safety door when in operation.

amount that it slows growth of GDP and tax revenues, causing the budget deficit to grow. What Rogoff and Reinhart do not sufficiently account for is the “reverse causation”: slow growth generates budget deficits. This goes a long way toward explaining the correlation they find between slow growth and deficits: as economists teach, correlation does not prove causation! Actually, there are always two ways to achieve the same budget deficit ratio: the ugly (Japanese) way and the virtuous way. If fiscal policy remains chronically too tight even in recession, economic growth is destroyed, tax revenues plummet, and a deficit opens up. So far, that is—unfortunately—the US path in this recession, a path already well-worn by two decades of Japanese experiments with belt-tightening. The alternative (let us call it the Chinese example) is that a downturn is met with an aggressive and appropriately-sized discretionary response. In that case, growth is quickly restored, tax revenue begins to grow, and the budget deficit is reduced.

Implementation CNF staff will evaluate new projects and process flows, highlighting possible conflicts with materials and tool usages. CNF tool managers will communicate the required sample characteristics during training the equipment. Researches are obliged to follow the stated guidelines and should consult the tool managers if there is any uncertainty to the categorization of the sample. Many processes in the CNF are highly sensitive to metallic contamination, particularly Alkali and Alkaline elements and some organics compounds that have been fixed with alkali buffer solutions. Those elements are outlined as Class A and Class B Metals in the Periodic Table image below and are restricted in a number of tool classifications. Additionally, a majority of operate at elevated temperatures in medium to high vacuum environments with plasma exposure. Materials with a high vapor pressure can contaminate these chambers impacting subsequent process runs, and need to be restricted. Films and substrates with high vapor pressure components may be restricted from a number of tools. Class A, Class B and CNF Refractory Metal Groups Class A Metals- Alkali and Alkaline Substrates and Thin Films Containing the following: Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Cesium (Cs), Francium (Fr),Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), Barium (Ba), Radium (Ra) Class B Metals Substrates and Thin Films Containing the following: Silver (Ag), Gold (Ag), Copper (Cu), Indium (In), Tin (Sn), Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb)
III/V compound Semiconductors No Exposed B metals- Glass Substrates Metals can be buried/covered with Staff approval PECVD and ALD Films Cannot be used as an etch stop Buried Class B Metals with approval Organic/Bio Materials prepped w/o Salt Buffers Cured organics and baked Photoresist No High Vapor pressure materials Tool Category 5: Class A and B Metals and Compounds Allowed Not Allowed Tool category 1/1+ 2, 3, and 4 materials Silicon Based Substrates and Films III/V compound Semiconductors Glass Substrates and ALD Films Cured organics and baked Photoresist Class A, B, and CNF Refractory metals Exposed Gold, Silver, Copper
