- Provides Instant Audit Info
- Identifies Overdue Audits
- Streamlined FSA Review Process
- Non-editable PDF file (official record) Retained & Used to Validate Data
- Add’l Changes to Reduce Reporting Burden
**Notes:**
EzAudit Strengthened Internal Financial Management & Controls
Streamlined FSA review process (assignment, resolution, approval)
## Acceptability Review Process
- Audits Reviewed for Acceptability & Completeness (Source document is compared to data entered)
- Incomplete Notice Posted to the eZ-Audit if not Accepted (return within timeline provided)
- Findings are Identified & Sent for Additional Resolution if Necessary
- Financial Failures & Adverse Disclosures (i.e. Contingent Liabilities, Debt Agreement Violations, Reviews & Investigations) Identified & Sent for Resolution
**Notes:**
Audits need to be GAAP/GAGAS or A-133 for Public schools and private non-profits with over $500,000 in Federal funds. Note that many schools try to be treated below the $500,000 threshold because they disbursed under $500,000 in Title IV funds, but many times they receive other federal funds and cross the threshold, as a result they are required to submit a complete A-133 audit.
Financial .PDF Attachments Viewable
Institution entered the correct audit period
Confirm the auditor report opinion (Unqualified, Qualified, Adverse, Disclaimed, Going Concern Paragraph) Unqualified is good-no issues, “clean opinion”. Qualified (Includes some type of exception can be a single deviation from GAAP or Scope limitation (sample Inventory not tested) Adverse Opinion - auditor indicating that a company's financial statements are misrepresented, misstated, and do not accurately reflect its financial performance and health. Adverse opinion it implies wrongdoing.
For A-133 schools, opinion could be on anything the auditor is reviewing - not limited to Title IV issues
Verify line items in composite score.
## Financial Responsibility
**Financial Responsibility**
- ED Determines by Reviewing Audited Financial Statements (34 CFR §668.171 & 34 CFR §668.15) for the Following:
- With an Initial, Recertification, or Reinstate Application to Participate
- With a CIO/Merger Application
- Annually Submitted Audited Financial Statements
**Notes:**
Primary review of financials are required for initial applications, change in ownership, and flagged annual financial statements.
## Review Zone Reporting Requirements
Administer Letters of Credit
Release Institutions from Zone, Provisional & LOC Alternatives
Assess Violations of Debt Payment, Financial Obligation & Past Performance Standards
Perform Pre-Acquisition Review for CIO
Make Quality Control Referrals to OIG
- Review Zone Reporting Requirements
- Administer Letters of Credit
- Release Institutions from Zone, Provisional & LOC Alternatives
- Assess Violations of Debt Payment, Financial Obligation & Past Performance Standards
- Perform Pre-Acquisition Review for CIO
- Make Quality Control Referrals to OIG
**Notes:**
Method of payment changes for failing financials.
FA’s have to reconcile LOC’s. Currently a manual process because of two recording systems and they do not always match.
We rarely get Zone reports from schools and most of the times there is nothing we can do with the information. Example: Owner takes out money.
FYE are routine following change in ownership so that the FYE matches the new owners, but when a school tries to change to a new fiscal year to beat the system then we have a problems. Example would be a school submitting late audits tries to switch to new fiscal year end to get a better composite score. No regulatory basis to prevent a C-Corp from changing FYE, but an S-Corp has to have a 12/31 FYE.
## Letters of Credit
**Letters of Credit**
- New Institutions minimum 50% LOC only
- Participating Institutions –
- 10% LOC (minimum), Provisional Certification, Zone Reporting Requirements, HCM-1 or HCM-2 or
- 50% LOC (minimum) Considered Financially Responsible
- FY 2007: 454 Schools on LOC’s ($298.5 M)
**Notes:**
50% LOC provision is included in the PPA if school is undergoing a recertification.
## Integrated Partner Mgmt (IPM)
- (Phase I: E-App, Ez-Audit, Lender App)
- User Interface w/ Additional Help Features
- Easier Navigation & Single Entry Point for FSA Service
- Increased Partner Security Using a Unique Entity Identifier (Routing Identifier or RID)
- Proactive Communications w/Partners, Notifying in Advance When Submissions/Information- Due to FSA
- More Electronic Information & Electronic Signatures (App & PPA)
**Notes:**
We decreased the # of data entry items in Ezaudit to reduce reporting burden.
In the Future IPM will replace current electronic Application (eAPP), eZ-Audit, and Lender Application (LAP) features and will modernize the way Partners (such as Institutions, Lenders, and Guaranty Agencies) submit their eligibility application to participate in Title IV funding, maintain this eligibility, enroll for services and submit their Financial Statements and Compliance Audit data.
The main benefits of the IPM solution include:
a consistent user interface with additional help features,
easier navigation through Application and Submission questions,
a single entry point for signing up for the services provided by Federal Student Aid.
increased Partner security using a unique entity identifier (Routing Identifier or RID),
proactive communications with Partners, notifying in advance of when submissions or information is due to FSA, and
information between Partners and FSA will be electronic to IPM, thus reducing the risk of lost paper applications or documents (App & PPA).
We will keep partners informed about important cutover information from the current legacy systems to IPM.
## External Review Process
- Audits (Annual & OIG)
- Program Reviews (ED & GA)
**Purpose of External Reviews**
- Evaluate if Institutions are Properly Administering Title IV Programs
- Fulfill Oversight Responsibilities for Title IV Programs
**Notes:**
School Participation Teams have several tools to monitor Program Integrity. Audits and Program Reviews are 2 such tools and are used to measure an institution compliance with Title IV requirements.
Institutions that receive funds from the Federal Student Aid Programs must submit an annual audit to the Department. For Profit-A certified independent public accountant (IPA) must prepare the non-federal compliance and financial audit using the SFA Audit Guide posted by OIG. Public/NonProfit-A independent public accountant or state auditor prepares the audit under the Single Audit Act-OMB Circular A-133. These audits are submitted through Ezaudit and those with deficiencies are resolved by the School Participation Teams. ED’s OIG may also conduct an audit of selected schools, which cover cash management, institutional and student eligibility, and/or associated internal controls. SPTs also resolved these audits.
Program Reviews are mandated by law with priority given to high default issues; significant funding fluctuations, deficiencies noted by State licensing or Accreditor, high dropout rates, or any other issue that may pose a significant risk or failure to comply with Title IV requirements.
The overall purpose of external reviews is to evaluate if an institution is properly administering Title IV programs; and to fulfill ED’s oversight responsibilities, which includes requiring corrective actions and assessing liabilities for errors in performance.
## Audit Resolution Process
- ED Performs Acceptability Review
- Teams Perform Further Analysis of Compliance Audits w/Deficiencies & CCR
- Teams can Contact School or Auditor to Requesting or Clarify Information (may include a total file review)
- Teams issue a Final Audit Determination Letter
**Notes:**
Talk about Liabilities under Program Review – process is the same
## Audit – Finding Incorrect
- Ask Auditor which Regulation or Law was Violated & Discuss a Reasonable Resolution
- Indicate in CAP Reasons Why the Finding is Erroneous
- Necessary for Audit Resolution Process
- Provide Details to Support Position & Cite Regulation or Law in Support of Assertion
**Notes:**
If an institution feels the finding the auditor has cited is incorrect, it should ask the auditor to identify the exact regulation or law that has been violated and then discuss a reasonable resolution. The institution should then indicate in its Corrective Action Plan the reasons it disagrees with the auditor’s conclusions and provide a detailed reason(s) the auditor’s exception is incorrect.
This information will be reviewed along with the auditor’s finding during the audit resolution process performed by ED. Be sure to include all regulatory or statutory citations that apply in support of your assertion.
## Audit Findings-High Dollar
- R2T4 Calculation Errors, Not Made or Made Late
- Audit Report Not Submitted – Closed School

## Mean zonal currents at 35oW
- Schott et al (2003)
- Velocities in 700-900m
- EIC was defined as the westward flow under the EUC.
- EDJ make it hard to derive mean currents below the EUC due to their poorly understood variability on seasonal to interannual time scales.
**Notes:**

AAIW: Originates in the South Atlantic from a surface region of the circumpolar layer, especially in the Northern Drake Passage and the Malvinas Current Loop. AAIW from the Indian Ocean is contributed to the South Atlantic AAIW via the Agulhas leakage.
SACW: forms in the Confluence region, Part of the SACW is not subducted in the Atlantic portion of the subtropical convergence but is in fact Indian central Water brought into the Atlantic Ocean by the Agulhas Current intrusions.

Gordon et al. concluded that 60%–65% of the thermocline water in the Benguela Current originated from the Indian Ocean (Fig. 9), slightly less than in OCCAM (12.3 Sv/16.9 Sv = 73%), the other 35%–40% recirculates in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre.

**Notes:**
If the oceanic circulation is explained by the closure of the wind stress, all WBC should have similar intensity. BC is lees that 1/3 of the Gulf Stream. Stommel(1965) suggested that this was due to the THC.
BC weak and therefore the wind stress play an important role in the intensity of the BC transport. The wind stress has an annual cycle and this cycle apparently follows the pattern of southward penetration of the BC.

Africa, and sea level pressure (SLP) over the South Indian/South Atlantic sectors of the Southern

The contour intervals are 0.3 m s1 and 1 102 hPa, respectively.
It should be noted that the period of analysis falls within the protracted 1998–2001 La Nin ̃a episode. Typically, high-pressure anomalies develop over the midlatitude South Atlantic and South Indian Oceans during La Nin ̃as with low-pressure anomalies over southern Africa [Reason et al., 2000], and hence stronger south easterlies tend to occur over the Benguela region (Figure 1).

Fig. 3 First two leading modes of a combined SVD analysis of anomalies of SST (colors, in K) and SLP (contours, negative contours dashed, in hPa)
To investigate the combined variability of ocean and atmosphere we perform a maximum covariance analysis on SST and SLP using singular value decomposition (SVD). This technique searches for modes that explain as much as possible of the mean-squared temporal covariance between the two fields (Bretherton et al. 1992). Figure 3 shows the first two SVD modes. Clearly, there is a close correspondence between the respective first EOF patterns (see Figs. 1a, 2a) on one side and the first SVD patterns on the other.
Furthermore, the first PCs of the SVDs and those of the corresponding EOFs are highly correlated and their spectra are almost identical (not shown). For the second SVD mode the correspondence with the respective EOFs is much lower, although the corresponding PCs are still significantly correlated. The dissimilarity between the second SLP SVD and the second SLP EOF may be
taken as additional evidence for the second EOF to be an artifact of the analysis technique.
From Fig. 3 it is obvious that the maxima of SST coincide with regions in which the pressure has a large gradient. This suggests that the occurrence of SST anomalies might be related to changes in wind or wind stress. This idea is further investigated in Sect. 4, where we try to identify mechanisms that force the main variability patterns described so far into existence, as well as those that destroy them.

## Lagged regression SSTA (colors) and SLPA (10 hPa)
- Sterl and Hazeleger (2003)
- Build-up and destruction of the anomalies takes 6 months. Relationship strong during build-up, weak during destruction phase.
**Notes:**
Fig. 5 Sequence of lagged regressions of anomalies of SST (colors, in K), SLP (contours, spacing = 10 hPa, and wind stress (arrows) on the PCs of the SST SVDs from Fig. 3. Lag is positive when the Principal Component (PC) leads
To get more insight into the temporal evolution of the anomaly patterns described in Sect. 2.3, we now present sequences of lagged regression patterns between the PCs of the SST SVDs and quantities describing the coupled evolution of oceanic and atmospheric anomalies, namely SST, SLP, and wind stress. This is done in Fig. 5. At lag zero, one can recognize the SVDs presented before. At negative lags, i.e., at times preceding the maximum of the patterns considered, we see how they gradually built up over 6 months. Likewise, the destruction of the anomalies takes 6 months, too. This time scale of about half a year is consistent with the e-folding time of the auto-correlation function of the SST PCs (not shown). Based on this e-folding time and a corresponding reduction in the degrees-of-freedom, a t-test reveals (not shown) that regression values exceeding 0.15 K (SST) or 15 hPa (SLP) are significant at the 95%-level.
Figure 5 shows a clear relation between SST anomalies and wind stress anomalies during the built-up phase, with maximum wind stress anomalies appearing over areas of maximum SST anomalies. During the destruction phase, such a relation is less apparent, if not absent. This suggests that wind (or wind stress) plays a forcing role in generating SST anomalies, but not in destroying them, meaning that SST changes do not feed back on the atmospheric circulation in a systematic way. Wind (stress) can affect SST through several mechanisms, namely by enhancing the latent heat flux, by inducing currents that advect SST anomalies, and by inducing vertical mixing that deepens the mixed layer.

- Heat flux acts to dampen (positive heat flux -> cooling) or enhance (negative heat flux) the SSTA anomalies.
**total heat flux (3e+7 Km/s)**
**wind stirring (3e+7 Km/s)**
- the regions of maximum SSTA and maximum wind stirring are displaced relative to one another
**Notes:**
Fig. 6 Sequence of lagged regressions of anomalies of SST (colors, in K) and total heat flux (–Q/(qwcp)), contours, spacing= 3Æ10–7 Km/s) on the PCs of the SST SVDs from Fig. 3. Lag is positive when the PC leads
Fig. 7 Sequence of lagged regressions of anomalies of SST (colors, in K) and meridional Ekman heat transport (contours, spacing = 1Æ10–7 Km/s) on the PCs of the SST SVDs from Fig. 3. Lag is positive when the PC leads
Therefore the patterns have no direct physical meaning, but they show whether the heat flux acts to enhance or to damp the SST anomalies. As a positive heat flux cools the ocean, the heat flux damps the SST anomalies if both have the same sign, and forces them if the signs are opposite. For SVD-1 opposite signs at negative lags occur over most of the domain, most notably in the South Equatorial Current, where this SVD has its maximum signal. For SVD-2 forcing occurs in the southwestern part of the basin, also a region of maximum signal. At lag 0 and at positive lags, heat flux is damping the SST anomalies. Thus in both cases the heat flux acts to create the SST anomaly (opposite sign of SST and heat flux anomaly at negative lags), but helps to destroy it after it has reached its maximum (equal signs at positive lags). Splitting the total heat flux up into its different components reveals that the latent heat flux is by far the most important one. The corresponding regression patterns look almost as those obtained for the total heat flux (not shown).
For SVD-1 the patterns of heat flux and SST in the South Equatorial Current region coincide for several months. The heat flux thus systematically forces the SVD-1 SST pattern there. A comparison with Fig. 5 shows that in the same region also the anomalous wind (stress) reaches its maximum. The latter is directed northwestward, enforcing the climatological wind that can be inferred from the climatological SLP shown in Fig. 2. The anomalous wind has two impacts on the heat flux. Firstly, it increases the advection of cold air from the southeast into the region in question, and secondly, it increases the wind speed. Both changes increase the turbulent heat loss. Thus the anomalous heat flux forcing of the SVD-1 pattern is caused by an anomalous atmospheric circulation.
As has been shown in Sect. 3.3, heat flux in the extratropics is dominated by latent heat flux.

## South Atlantic SSTA+ dipole
- Haarsma et al (2003)
**Notes:**
Figure 1. The South Atlantic SSTA+ dipole (K).
2003GL017829.pdf
The atmosphere model is forced with the SSTA pattern shown in Figure 1. It is obtained from an SVD analysis of MSLP and SST of the output of SPEEDY coupled to the Miami Isopycnal Coordinate Model (MICOM) [Haarsma et al., manuscript in prepration, 2003]. This pattern is very similar to the one obtained by Sterl and Hazeleger [2003] from the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis. We have chosen this pattern because it is consistent with the dynamics of SPEEDY. The amplitude of this pattern, with maximum values of 1.5C, is about 4 times the standard deviation of the SST pattern in the coupled run in order to obtain a significant response. In addition, an experiment with half of the SSTA amplitude is made. 50 year integrations with a positive (SSTA+) and a negative (SSTA) SSTA dipole were made and compared with the control run of the same length. The dipole is called positive when the equatorward pole has positive SSTA’s.
The atmospheric response to the SSTA+ dipole is seasonally dependent. Most prominent is the response centred at 30W 15S during the austral summer (Jan.–March) (Figure 2). This response consists of an anomalous low pressure system and cyclonic circulation at low levels. The upper air response at 200 hPa displays anomalous anticyclonic circulation. This response is similar to the deep baroclinic response obtained by Robertson et al. [2003]. During the austral winter the response is still baroclinic but mainly confined to the lower half of the troposphere.
The location of the response suggests that it is mainly due to the equatorward SSTA pole. To check this we repeated the experiment for separately the equatorward and poleward poles of the SSTA dipole. The results confirmed that the deep baroclinic response is almost entirely due to the equatorward SSTA pole. The center of the anomalous low pressure system is not located above the maximum of the SSTA, but is translated about 10 degrees to the northwest in the direction of the climatological trade winds. The atmospheric response to the poleward SSTA pole is small and will be discussed later.
The seasonal dependence of the response is related to the changes in the meridional circulation and the vertical stability. During the austral winter the decending branch of the meridional circulation is situated over the subtropical Atlantic. Thus, the concurrent enhanced vertical stability prohibits the development of a deep baroclinic response. Because the atmospheric response is largest during Jan.–March, we will concentrate in the following on that season.
Changing the sign of the SSTA pattern did not have a large impact on the local response, indicating that it is mainly linear. This was also confirmed by analyzing the response to the SSTA dipole with half the amplitude. To facilitate the discussion we will describe below the response to the SSTA+ dipole.
The 500 hPa vertical velocity shows anomalous upward (downward) motion over positive (negative) SSTA’s. In addition, a dipole of anomalous upward and downward motion exists along the ITCZ. Associated with it the anomalous precipitation (Figure 3a) shows a strong signal, with maxima of about 1.5 mm day1, along the ITCZ, consisting of anomalous drying at the location of the anomalous descend, northward of it, and enhanced precipation at the location of anomalous ascend, southward of it. This results in a southward displacement of the ITCZ towards the warm SSTA’s.
The anomalous vertical circulation is initiated by the anomalous diabatic heating of the SSTA dipole. However, the strong signal along the ITCZ is the result of a positive feedback due to the anomalous convergence of moisture (Figure 3b). The anomalous northerly winds advect dry subtropical air into the northern regions of the ITCZ, whereas at the southern edge of the ITCZ tropical moisture is advected southward into the subtropics.
The shift in the position of the ITCZ is accompanied by changes in cloud cover with maxima in the order of 10% (Figure 4b). Over the areas of anomalous subsidence (ascend) the cloud cover is diminished (enhanced). This increases (reduces) the net downward radiation in the order of 10 Wm2, principally as a result of increased (reduced) solar radiation.
The anomalous low level northerly winds north of the equator enhance the prevailing trade winds, resulting in an increase of the latent heat flux in the order of 5 Wm2, cooling the surface waters. This effect is in the literature known as the wind-evaporation-SST (WES) feedback [Chang et al., 1997; Kushnir et al., 2002] and supposed to be responsible for the generation of an SST gradient across the equator. However in our simulation this effect is over compensated by the increased solar radiation and the net effect is a small heating of about 5 Wm2 of the ocean surface north of the equator. Although a coupled ocean-atmosphere experiment would really be required, this indicates that the South Atlantic dipole does not invoke a meridional SST dipole across the equator as proposed by the hypothesis of the WES feedback. Because of the southerly position of the SSTA, the anomalous winds northward of the equator are too weak to effectively trigger the WES feedback. On the other hand, the SSTA does affect the vertical circulation over the Atlantic and thereby the cloud cover distribution.
The net surface heatflux (Figure 4a), with a major contribution of the latent heatflux, results in a strong cooling (heating) of the warm (cold) SSTA’s. For the equatorward pole of the SSTA, this is, however, confined to the southeastern part. The anomalous warm surface air temperature and increased moisture in the deep baroclinic response downstream strongly reduce the anomalous latent heat flux to values in the order of 10 Wm2. This spatially varying anomalous latent heatflux affects the structure of the SSTA and effectively results, apart from a reduction, in a northwestward displacement of the equatorward pole of the SSTA. This suggests that the atmospheric response, next to oceanic response, is important for the time evolution of SSTA’s. This will be investigated in future research.
The response to the poleward SSTA pole south of 30S, as revealed by the experiment with only the poleward pole, is located above the SSTA, with a high (low) over the cold (warm) SSTA’s. The response is small, about 1 hPa for the MSLP, which is in the order of the natural variability of the model for a 50 year integration. The maximum response in the precipitation is about 0.5 mm day1. To better evaluate the structure of the response we doubled the amplitude of the SSTA. The results revealed that the structure is in all seasons equivalent barotropic, which is common for a midlatitude response, and strongly reduced above 500 hPa.
With respect to the remote extra-tropical response in the Northern Hemisphere, our calculations are still inconclusive. In our results, we detect at the equator an upper level divergence generated by the anomalous vertical circulation. This upper level divergence intiates the propagation of energy by Rossby waves into the extra-tropics, which by its turn enhances the variability over the North Atlantic (Figure 5). In our present resuts, however, the stationary response over the North Atlantic is not yet statistically significant. This might be due to the fact that the location of the anomalous upper air divergence shows variability in time. In addition climate signals do evolve in time. An analysis in the frequency domain would clarify this and will be part of future research. Our primary investigations indicate that at certain periods, the upper level divergence induces a wave train in the subtropical jet over southern part of the Asian continent, whereas in other periods a wave train over the Atlantic is generated.

## Anomalies of net upward surface heat flux and cloud cover in response to the SSTA+ dipole
- Haarsma et al (2003)
- Shift of ITCZ -> shift of cloud cover, but no significant change of NSHF since SSTA is too far south. Over the SSTA anomalies significant NSHF change mainly due to latent heat flux.
**Notes:**
Figure 4. Jan.–Mar. anomalies of A, net upward surface heat flux (Wm2) and B, total cloud cover (%).
The shift in the position of the ITCZ is accompanied by changes in cloud cover with maxima in the order of 10% (Figure 4b). Over the areas of anomalous subsidence (ascend) the cloud cover is diminished (enhanced). This increases (reduces) the net downward radiation in the order of 10 Wm2, principally as a result of increased (reduced) solar radiation.
The anomalous low level northerly winds north of the equator enhance the prevailing trade winds, resulting in an increase of the latent heat flux in the order of 5 Wm2, cooling the surface waters. This effect is in the literature known as the wind-evaporation-SST (WES) feedback [Chang et al., 1997; Kushnir et al., 2002] and supposed to be responsible for the generation of an SST gradient across the equator. However in our simulation this effect is over compensated by the increased solar radiation and the net effect is a small heating of about 5 Wm2 of the ocean surface north of the equator. Although a coupled ocean-atmosphere experiment would really be required, this indicates that the South Atlantic dipole does not invoke a meridional SST dipole across the equator as proposed by the hypothesis of the WES feedback. Because of the southerly position of the SSTA, the anomalous winds northward of the equator are too weak to effectively trigger the WES feedback. On the other hand, the SSTA does affect the vertical circulation over the Atlantic and thereby the cloud cover distribution.
The net surface heatflux (Figure 4a), with a major contribution of the latent heatflux, results in a strong cooling (heating) of the warm (cold) SSTA’s. For the equatorward pole of the SSTA, this is, however, confined to the southeastern part. The anomalous warm surface air temperature and increased moisture in the deep baroclinic response downstream strongly reduce the anomalous latent heat flux to values in the order of 10 Wm2. This spatially varying anomalous latent heatflux affects the structure of the SSTA and effectively results, apart from a reduction, in a northwestward displacement of the equatorward pole of the SSTA. This suggests that the atmospheric response, next to oceanic response, is important for the time evolution of SSTA’s. This will be investigated in future research.

4. Discussion
In this study we investigated the atmospheric response to an SSTA dipole, which is generated by the dominant mode of variability of the atmosphere in the South Atlantic. Our results show that especially the equatorward pole of the dipole has a significant impact on the atmospheric circulation over the tropical Atlantic. Although our results should be confirmed by other studies with GCM’s, they are supported by earlier results reported in the literature. Simulations with GCM’s have indicated the potential importance of South Atlantic SSTA’s on the tropical circulation [e.g., Robertson et al., 2003; Okumura et al., 2001]. However, these studies have used either tropical Atlantic SSTA’s or a mixture between tropical and South Atlantic SSTA’s. Our results indicate that subtropical South Atlantic SSTA’s by themselves can influence the atmospheric tropical circulation.
Concerning the extra-tropical response the results are still inconclusive. Earlier reports in the literature, however, do suggest a connection between the South and North Atlantic ocean. For instance Robertson et al. [2000] demonstrate for the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis covariability between the North Atlantic Oscillation and South Atlantic SSTA’s at the location of the equatorward pole of our SSTA dipole. Also in Okumura et al. [2001] a pan-Atlantic pattern is detected, where the South Atlantic SSTA pattern shows a strong similarity with the equatorward pole of our dipole.

ABSTRACT
Since the 1980s there has been a marked increase in the
recognition and reporting of highly invasive group A
streptococcal infections with or without necrotizing
fasciitis associated with shock and organ failure. Such
dramatic cases have been defined as streptococcal
toxic-shock syndrome. Strains of group A streptococci
isolated from patients with invasive disease have been
predominantly M types 1 and 3 that produce pyrogenic
exotoxin A or B or both. In this paper, the clinical
and demographic features of streptococcal bacteremia,
myositis, and necrotizing fasciitis are presented and
compared to those of streptococcal toxic-shock
syndrome. Current concepts in the pathogenesis of
invasive streptococcal infection are also presented,
with emphasis on the interaction between group A
Streptococcus virulence factors and host defense
mechanisms. Finally, new concepts in the treatment of
streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome are discussed.
An emerging pathogen can be one that is totally new
(e.g., human immunodeficiency virus), one that was
known but has only recently been identified (e.g.,
Helicobacter pylori), or one that is old but has
learned new tricks. The last type is, as Dr. Stanley
Falkow contends, merely trying to "make a living" in a
changing environment. Regardless of environmental
pressures, many old pathogens have become major
clinical problems because of increased virulence or
antibiotic resistance (e.g., penicillin-resistant
pneumococcus, multidrug resistant Mycobacterium
tuberculosis, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus
aureus, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium).
Arguably, group A Streptococcus (GAS) is the
quintessence of an old organism that has become more
virulent. In this manuscript, the epidemiology,
clinical spectrum, and pathogenesis of GAS
infection are discussed in relation to the
streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome (TSS).
Current and Historical Perspectives on the Prevalence
and Severity of Streptococcal Infections
The British tabloids have recently coined the term
"flesh-eating bacteria" to describe invasive
necrotizing infections caused by GAS and have suggested
that epidemics of streptococcal infection
are imminent. Such aggrandizement is unfounded, yet it
has served to heighten public awareness of this
sporadic, but serious, infectious disease. Strictly
speaking, an epidemic is defined as an increase in the
prevalence of disease over a baseline endemic rate. In
this context, we are, in fact, experiencing an epidemic
of severe invasive GAS infections; however, few
concrete prospective population-based data support this
notion. Estimates suggest that the incidence of these
infections is 10 to 20 cases/ 100,000 population. Thus,
the stimulus for such public interest has not been the
incidence of the syndrome, but more likely, the
dramatic nature of these infections.
Whether these types of group A streptococcal infections
will decline, stay the same, or increase is not known.
History is replete with descriptions of epidemics of
GAS infections and their nonsuppurative sequelae. In
the 1600s, epidemics of scarlet fever spread from Italy
and Spain to Northern Europe (1), and in 1736, an
outbreak occurred in the American colonies, killing
4,000 people (2). Major epidemics of rheumatic fever
occurred in World War II in the U.S. military (3). Soon
afterward post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis struck
several regions of the United States (4,5).
Many of these epidemics waxed and waned before the
advent of antibiotics, suggesting that either changes
in socioeconomic conditions or variations in the
expression of virulence factors by the pathogen were
responsible. This concept is best exemplified by the
extraordinary mortality rate of scarlet fever
documented in the latter part of the 1880s in New York,
Chicago, and Norway; 25% to 30% of children with
scarlet fever died during that period (5,6). By 1900,
the mortality rate had dropped to under 2% in all three
locations. Since socioeconomic conditions likely did
not change markedly during that time and antibiotics
were not yet available, the decrease in mortality rates
must have been caused by reduced expression of a
streptococcal virulence factor or by the slow
acquisition of herd immunity to that factor.
The epidemiology of GAS infection is complex. More than
80 different M types of S. pyogenes exist, and five
separate and distinct scarlatina toxins, streptococcal
pyrogenic exotoxins (SPEs) (5) have also been
described; some of these can be transmitted to
different M types by bacteriophage. Minor drifts
in the antigenic or virulence properties of GAS could
account for the 5- to 6-year cycles of scarlet fever
documented by Kohler (9). In the same way as antigenic
shifts in influenza virus cause pandemics, major
alterations in GAS virulence properties could cause
major changes in clinical disease. The recent increases
in severe GAS infections, following a 50- to 60-year
span of relatively benign clinical disease, support
this notion.
Acute Life-Threatening Group A Streptococcal Infections
Streptococcal TSS
Recently, severe invasive GAS infections associated
with shock and organ failure have been reported with
increasing frequency, predominantly from North America
and Europe (8-18). These infections have been termed
streptococcal toxic-shock syndrome (TSS; Table 1) (19).
Persons of all ages are affected; most do not have
predisposing underlying diseases (11,20-25). This is in
sharp contrast to previous reports of GAS bacteremia,
in which patients were either under 10 or over 60 years
of age, and most had underlying conditions such as
cancer, renal failure, leukemia, or severe burns or
were receiving corticosteroids or other
immunosuppressing drugs (20-22). The complications of
current GAS infections are severe; bacteremia
associated with aggressive soft tissue infection,
shock, adult respiratory distress syndrome and renal
failure are common; 30% to 70% of patients die in spite
of aggressive modern treatments (Table 2) (1,8,24-26).

Acquisition of Group A Streptococcus
The portal of entry of streptococci cannot be proven in
at least half the cases (8) and can only be presumed in
many others.Patients with symptomatic pharyngitis
rarely develop streptococcal TSS, though such cases
have been reported,especially in the last year.
Procedures such as suctionlipectomy, hysterectomy,
vaginal delivery, bunionectomy and bone pinning have
provided a portal of entry in many cases (author's
unpublished observations). Most commonly, infection
begins at a site of minor local trauma, which
frequently does not result in a break in the skin (8).
Numerous cases have developed within 24 to 72 hours of
minor nonpenetrating trauma, resulting in hematoma,
deep bruise to the calf, or even muscle strain. Virus
infections, such as varicella and influenza, have
provided a portal in other cases. In some cases the use
of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents may have either
masked the early symptoms or predisposed the patient to
more severe streptococcal infection and shock (1). For
the most part, these infections have occurred
sporadically and have not been associated with clusters
of cases or minor epidemics, though outbreaks of severe
GASinfections have occurred in closed environments such
as nursing homes (27,28).
Clinical Symptoms
Pain the most common initial symptom of streptococcal
TSS is abrupt in onset and severe, and usually precedes
tenderness or physical findings. The pain usually
involves an extremity but may also mimic
peritonitis,pelvic inflammatory disease, pneumonia,
acute myocardial infarction, or pericarditis. Twenty
percent of patients have an influenza-like syndrome
characterized by fever, chills, myalgia, nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea (8). Fever is the
most common early sign, although hypothermia may be
present in patients with shock. Confusion is present in
55% of patients, and in some, coma or combativeness is
manifest (8). Eighty percent of patients have clinical
signs of soft tissue infection, such as localized
swelling and erythema, which in 70% of patients
progressed to necrotizing fasciitis or myositis and
required surgical debridement, fasciotomy or amputation
(8). An ominous sign is the progression of soft tissue
swelling to the formation of vesicles, then bullae,
which appear violaceous or bluish. In such patients,
emergent surgical exploration should be performed
to establish the diagnosis and distinguish GAS
infection from other necrotizing soft tissue
infections. Among the 20% of patients without soft
tissue findings, clinical symptoms include
endophthalmitis, myositis, perihepatitis, peritonitis,
myocarditis, and overwhelming sepsis. A diffuse,
scarlatina-like erythema occurs in only 10% of
patients. Nearly 50% of patients may have normal blood
pressure (systolic pressure >110 mm Hg) on admission
but develop hypotension within the subsequent 4 hours
(8).
Laboratory Evaluation of Patients
On admission, renal involvement is indicated by the
presence of hemoglobinuria and by serum creatinine
values that are, on average, >2.5 times normal. Renal
impairment precedes hypotension in 40% to 50% of
patients (8). Hypoalbuminemia is associated with
hypocalcemia on admission and throughout the hospital
course. The serum creatinine kinase level is useful in
detecting deeper soft-tissue infections; when the level
is elevated or rising, there is a good correlation with
necrotizing fasciitis or myositis. Though the
initial laboratory studies demonstrate only mild
leukocytosis, the mean percentage of immature
neutrophils (including band forms, metamyelocytes, and
myelocytes) is striking, reaching 40% to 50%. Blood
cultures are positive in 60% of cases (8).
Clinical Course
Shock is apparent at the time of admission or within 4
to 8 hours in virtually all patients (Table 2). In only
10% of patients does systolic blood pressure become
normal 4 to 8 hours after administration of
antibiotics, albumin, and electrolyte solutions
containing salts or dopamine; in all other patients,
shock persists. Similarly, renal dysfunction progresses
or persists in all patients for 48 to 72 hours in spite
of treatment, and many patients may require dialysis
(8). In patients who survive, serum creatinine values
return to normal within 4 to 6 weeks. Renal dysfunction
precedes shock in many patients and is apparent early
in the course of shock in all others. Acute respiratory
distress syndrome occurs in 55% of patients and
generally develops after the onset of hypotension (8).
Supplemental oxygen, intubation, and mechanical
ventilation are necessary in 90% of the patients
in whom this syndrome develops. Mortality rates vary
from 30% to 70% (1,8,24-26). Morbidity is also high; 13
of 20 patients in one series underwent major surgical
procedures, which included fasciotomy, surgical
debridement, exploratory laparotomy, intraocular
aspiration, amputation, or hysterectomy (8).
Clinical Isolates
M types 1, 3, 12, and 28 have been the most common
isolates from patients with shock and multiorgan
failure (8,29). Recently, 80% of strains in Sweden from
all types of GAS infection have been M type 1 (S. Holm,
pers. comm.). Pyrogenic exotoxin A and/or B was found
in most cases of severe infection. In the United
States, pyrogenic exotoxin A is most frequently
associated with these infections (8,23,29-33), while in
Sweden and the United Kingdom, exotoxin B has been most
common (12,25). Recently, streptococcal superantigen
(SSA), a novel pyrogenic exotoxin, was isolated from
an M 3 strain, albeit in small concentrations (34). In
addition, mitogenic factor (MF) has been demonstrated
in many different M types of GAS (35,36).
Necrotizing Fasciitis
Necrotizing fasciitis, a deep-seated infection of the
subcutaneous tissue that progressively destroys fascia
and fat but may spare the skin and muscle, can be
caused by GAS, Clostridium perfringens, or C. septicum.
Necrotizing fasciitis caused by mixed organisms such as
aerobic gram-negative bacteria, anaerobes, and
microaerophilic streptococci may develop in diabetic
patients or patients with open wounds contaminated with
bowel contents. Though Meleney called infections caused
by hemolytic streptococci "streptococcal gangrene"
(37), the process has been renamed necrotizing
fasciitis. His patients' infections began at the site
of trivial or inapparent trauma. Within 24 hours of the
initial lesion which frequently was only mild erythema
swelling, heat, erythema, and tenderness rapidly
developed. During the next 24 to 48 hours, the erythema
changed from red to purple and then to blue, and
blisters and bullae, which contained clear yellow
fluid, appeared. On days 4 and 5, the purple areas
became gangrenous. From day 7 to day 10, the line of
demarcation became sharply defined, and the dead skin
began to separate at the margins or breaks in the
center, revealing an extensive necrosis of the
subcutaneous tissue. In more severe cases, the process
advance d rapidly until several large areas of skin
became gangrenous, and the intoxication rendered the
patient dull,unresponsive, mentally cloudy, or even
delirious. Meleney was the first to advocate aggressive
"bear scratch" fasciotomy and debridement. With this
treatment, together with irrigation with Dakains
solution, the mortality rate dropped to 20% (37).
These older reports of necrotizing fasciitis (6) differ
from reports of current necrotizing fasciitis cases
associated with streptococcal TSS (8). First, recent
cases have mainly occurred in young healthy persons who
had no underlying disease but sustained minor trauma to
an extremity. Earlier series describe older patients
with multiple medical problems (6). Meleney's cases
(reported from China) were probably among young healthy
persons who sustained minor trauma, though the major
difference between them and present cases is the low
mortality rate (20% vs 20% to 60% in streptococcal TSS)
(6,37) before antibiotics were available (37). Analysis
of Meleney's reports also suggests that most of his
patients did not have shock or organ failure, nor did
they require amputation. In contrast, present cases of
necrotizing fasciitis caused by GAS are invariably
associated with severe manifestations of systemic
illness and high morbidity despite the absence of
underlying disease and the use of antibiotics,
dialysis, ventilators, intravenous fluids, and improved
surgical techniques. In summary, the high mortality
rate among current cases of streptococcal necrotizing
fasciitis could be due to the emergence of more
virulent streptococci (8).
Streptococcal Myositis
Streptococcal myositis is an extremely uncommon GAS
infection. Adams et al. (38) documented only 21
reported cases from 1900 to 1985, and Svane (39) found
only four cases in more 20,000 autopsies. Severe pain
may be the only early symptom, and swelling and
erythema may be the only early physical findings,
though muscle compartment syndromes may develop rapidly
(8-10,38-41). Distinguishing streptococcal myositis
from spontaneous gas gangrene caused by C. perfringens
or C. septicum (42) may be difficult, though crepitus
or demonstration of gas in the tissue favors
clostridial infection (40). Patients with streptococcal
TSS may have both necrotizing fasciitis and
myositis (8,38). In published series, the case-fatality
rate for necrotizing fasciitis is 20% to 50%, whereas
GAS myositis has a fatality rate of 80% to 100% (6).
Aggressive surgical debridement is extremely important
for establishing a diagnosis and removing devitalized
tissue.
Bacteremia
Streptococcal bacteremia has occurred most commonly in
the very young and in the elderly (5). Among children,
predisposing factors (other than scarlet fever) include
burns,varicella, malignant neoplasm,immunosuppression,
and age less than 2 years (5). In patients with scarlet
fever, the pharynx is the most common source of GAS.
Frequently such patients have complications, such as
extension of infection into the sinuses, peritonsillar
tissue, or mastoids (septic scarlet fever
or scarlet fever anginose); yet documented bacteremia
occurs in only 0.3% of febrile patients (43). Among the
children with varicella studied by Bullowa and Wischik
(43), GAS bacteremia occurred in only approximately
0.5% of patients. In elderly patients the source of GAS
infection is invariably the skin and is associated with
cellulitis or erysipelas (5). GAS sepsis in the elderly
(mean age, 50 to 60 years) has also been associated
with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, malignancy,
and corticosteroid use. Not surprising, mortality
rates of 35% to 80% have been described in this patient
population. In the past, GAS bacteremia was rare among
persons 14 to 40 years of age; puerperal sepsis
accounted for most bacteremia in this age group.
Recently, intravenous drug abuse has emerged as a
leading cause of GAS bacteremia in this age group (5).
Martin and Hoiby have comprehensively demonstrated that
the prevalence of GAS bacteremia in Norway in the late
1980s increased in all age groups, but the greatest
increase (600% to 800%) was in adolescents and young
adults (10). Thus, the demographics of invasive
streptococcal infection have changed dramatically in
the past 4 to 6 years.
Current Hypotheses Regarding Mechanisms of Shock and
Tissue Destruction Caused by Virulent Group A
Streptococci
Pyrogenic exotoxins cause fever in humans and animals
and also help induce shock by lowering the threshold to
exogenous endotoxin (5). Streptococcal pyrogenic
exotoxins A and B induce human mononuclear cells to
synthesize not only tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF) (44) but also interleukin- (IL-1) (45)
and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (45), suggesting that TNF
could mediate the fever, shock, and tissue injury
observed in patients with streptococcal TSS (8).
Pyrogenic exotoxin C has been associated with mild
cases of scarlet fever in the United States
(author's observations) and in England (46). The roles
of two newly described pyrogenic exotoxins, SSA and MF
(see section on "Clinical Isolates"), in streptococcal
TSS have not been elucidated.
M protein contributes to invasiveness through its
ability to impede phagocytosis of streptococci by human
polymorphonuclear leukocytes (47). Conversely,
type-specific antibody against the M protein enhances
phagocytosis (47). After infection with a particular M
type, specific antibody confers resistance to challenge
to viable GAS of that M type (47). While M types 1 and
3 strains have accounted for most strains isolated
from cases of streptococcal TSS, many other M types,
including some nontyp-able strains, have also been
isolated from such cases. M types 1 and 3 are also
commonly isolated from asymptomatic carriers, patients
with pharyngitis, and patients with mild scarlet fever
(7,29).
Could streptococcal TSS be related to the ability of
pyrogenic exotoxin or M proteins type 1 or 3 to act as
"super antigens"(48)? Data suggest that this exotoxin
and a number of staphylococcal toxins (toxic shock
syndrome toxin-1 [TSST-1] and staphylococcal
enterotoxins A, B, and C) can stimulate T-cell
responses through their ability to bind to both
the Class II major histocompatibility ability complex
of antigen-presenting cells and the Vb region of the
T-cell receptor (48). The net effect would be to induce
T-cell stimulation with production of cyto- kines
capable of mediating shock and tissue injury. Recently,
Hackett and Stevens demonstrated that pyrogenic
exotoxin A induced both TNF and TNF from mixed
cultures of monocytes and lymphocytes (49), supporting
the role of lymphokines (TNF) in shock associated with
strains producing that exotoxin. Kotb et al. (50) have
shown that a digest of M protein type 6 can also
stimulate T-cell responses by this mechanism; however,
the role of specific superantigens in this or
any other infectious disease has not been proven. Proof
would require demonstration of massive expansion of
T-cell subsets bearing a V repertoire specific for the
putative superantigen. However, quantitation of such
T-cell subsets in patients with acute streptococcal TSS
demonstrated deletion rather than expansion, suggesting
that perhaps the life span of the expanded
subset was shortened by a process of apoptosis (51). In
addition, the subsets deleted were not specific for
streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins A, B, C, or mitogenic
factor, suggesting that an as yet undefined
superantigen may play a role (51).
Cytokine production by less exotic mechanisms likely
contributes as well to the genesis of shock and organ
failure. Peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid (52), and
killed organisms (53,54) are capable of inducing TNFa
production by mononuclear cells in vitro (6,54,55).
Exotoxins such as streptolysin O (SLO) are also potent
inducers of TNF and IL-1. Pyrogenic exotoxin B, a
proteinase precursor, has the ability to cleave
pre-IL-1 to release preformed IL-1 (56). Finally, SLO
and exotoxin A together have additive effects in the
induction of IL-1 by human mononuclear cells (49).
Whatever the mechanisms, induction of cytokines in vivo
is likely the cause of shock, and these two exotoxins,
cell wall components, and the like, are potent inducers
of TNF and IL-1.
The mere presence of virulence factors, such as M
protein or pyrogenic exotoxins, may be less important
in streptococcal TSS than the dynamics of their
production in vivo. Recently, Cleary et al. proposed a
regulon in GAS that controls the expression of a group
of virulence genes coding for known virulence factors
such as M protein and C5 peptidase (57). When
DNA fingerprinting was used, differences were shown
between M1 strains isolated from patients with invasive
disease and strains from patients with noninvasive GAS
infections (58). Finally, genetic information coding
for exotoxins A or C may be introduced to strains of
GAS by certain bacteriophage; after lysogenic
conversion,synthesis of exotoxin A would occur during
growth of the streptococcus (31,59,60). Multilocus
enzyme electrophoresis demonstrates two patterns that
correspond to the M1 and M3 type organisms that produce
pyrogenic exotoxin A, a finding that supports
epidemiologic studies implicating these strains in
invasive GAS infections (33).
The interaction between these microbial virulence
factors and an immune or nonimmune host determines the
epidemiology, clinical syndrome, and outcome. Since
horizontal transmission of GAS in general is well
documented, the only explanation for the absence
of a high attack rate of invasive infection is
significant herd immunity against one or more of the
virulence factors responsible for streptococcal TSS.
This hypothetical model explains why epidemics have not
materialized and why a particular strain of GAS can
cause different clinical manifestations in the same
community (8,61) (Figure 1 cannot be viewed in ASCII
format.)
Treatment
Antibiotic Therapy-Cures and Failures with Penicillin
S. pyogenes continues to be exquisitely susceptible to
-lactam antibiotics, and numerous studies have
demonstrated the clinical efficacy of penicillin
preparations for streptococcal pharyngitis. Similarly,
penicillins and cephalosporins have proven efficacy in
treating erysipelas, impetigo, and cellulitis,
all of which are most frequently caused by S. pyogenes.
In addition, Wannamaker et al. (6) demonstrated that
penicillin therapy prevents the development of
rheumatic fever following streptococcal pharyngitis if
therapy is begun within 8 to 10 days of the onset of
sore throat. Nonetheless, some clinical failures
of penicillin treatment of streptococcal infection do
occur. Penicillin treatment of S. pyogenes has failed
to eradicate bacteria from the pharynx of 5% to 20% of
patients with documented streptococcal pharyngitis
(62-64). In addition, more aggressive GAS infections
(such as, necrotizing fasciitis, empyema, burn wound
sepsis, subcutaneous gangrene, and myositis)
respond less well to penicillin and continue to be
associated with high mortality rates and extensive
morbidity (6,8,9,12,15,38,65). For example, in a recent
report, 25 cases of streptococcal myositis had an
overall mortality rate of 85% in spite of penicillin
therapy (38). Finally, several studies in experimental
infection suggest that penicillin fails when large
numbers of organisms are present (66,67).
The Efficacy of Penicillin, Compared to Clindamycin, In
Fulminant Experimental S. pyogenes Infection
In a mouse model of myositis caused by S. pyogenes,
penicillin was ineffective when treatment was delayed
up to 2 hours after initiation of infection (67).
Survival of erythromycin-treated mice was greater than
that of both penicillin-treated mice and untreated
controls, but only if treatment was begun within 2
hours. Mice receiving clindamycin, however, had
survival rates of 100%, 100%, 80%, and 70%, even if
treatment was delayed 0, 2, 6, and 16.5 hours,
respectively (67,68).
Eagle suggested that penicillin failed in this type of
infection because of the "physiologic state of the
organism"(66). This phenomenon has recently been
attributed to both in vitro and in vivo inoculum
effects (69,70).
Inoculum Size and the "Physiologic State of the
Organism": Differential Expression of
Penicillin-Binding Proteins
Penicillin and other -lactam antibiotics are most
efficacious against rapidly growing bacteria. We
hypothesized that large inocula reach the stationary
phase of growth sooner than smaller inocula both in
vitro and invivo. That high concentrations of S.
pyogenes accumulate in deep-seated infection is
supported by data from Eagle et al. (66). We compared
the penicillin-binding protein patterns from membrane
proteins of group A streptococci isolated from
different stages of growth, i.e., mid-log phase and
stationary phase. Binding of radiolabeled penicillin by
all penicillin-binding proteins was decreased in
stationary cells; however, PBPs 1 and 4 were
undetectable at 36 hours (69). Thus, the loss of
certain penicillin-binding proteins during
stationary-phase growth in vitro may be responsible for
the inoculum effect observed in vivo and may account
for the failure of penicillin in treatment of both
experimental and human cases of severe streptococcal
infection.
The Greater Efficacy of Clindamycin in Experimental S.
pyogenes Infections: Mechanisms of Action
The greater efficacy of clindamycin is likely
multifactorial: First, its efficacy is not affected by
inoculum size or stage of growth (69,71); secondly,
clindamycin is a potent suppressor of bacterial toxin
synthesis (72,73); third, it facilitates
phagocytosis of S. pyogenes by inhibiting M-protein
synthesis (73); fourth, it suppresses synthesis of
penicillin-binding proteins, which, in addition to
being targets for penicillin, are also enzymes involved
in cell wall synthesis and degradation (71); fifth,
clindamycin has a longer postantibiotic effect than
-lactams such as penicillin; and lastly, clindamycin
causes suppression of LPS-induced monocyte synthesis of
TNF (74). Thus, clindamycin's efficacy may also be
related to its ability to modulate the immune response.
Other Treatment Measures
Though antibiotic selection is critically important,
other measures, such as prompt and aggressive
exploration and debridement of suspected deep-seated S.
pyogenes infection, are mandatory. Frequently, the
patient has fever and excruciating pain. Later,
systemic toxicity develops, and definite evidence of
necrotizing fasciitis and myositis appears. Surgical
debridement may be too late at this point. Prompt
surgical exploration through a small incision with
visualization of muscle and fascia, and timely Gram
stain of surgically obtained material may provide
an early and definitive etiologic diagnosis. Surgical
colleagues should be involved early in such cases,
since later in the course surgical intervention may be
impossible because of toxicity or because infection has
extended to vital areas impossible to debride (i.e.,
the head and neck, thorax, or abdomen).
Anecdotal reports suggest that hyperbaric oxygen has
been used in a handful of patients, though no
controlled studies are under way, nor is it clear that
this treatment is useful.
Because of intractable hypotension and diffuse
capillary leak, massive amounts of intravenous fluids
(10 to 20 liters/day) are often necessary. Pressors
such as dopamine are used frequently, though no
controlled trials have been performed in streptococcal
TSS. In patients with intractable hypotension,
vasoconstrictors such as epinephrine have been used,
but symmetrical gangrene of digits seems to result
frequently (author's unpublished observations), often
with loss of limb. In these cases it is
difficult to determine if symmetrical gangrene is due
to pressors, infection, or both.
Neutralization of circulating toxins would be
desirable; however, appropriate antibodies are not
commercially available in the United States or Europe.
Two reports describe the successful use of intravenous
gamma globulin in treating streptococcal TSS in
two patients (75,76).
In summary, if a wild "flesh-eating strain" has
recently emerged, a major epidemic with a high attack
rate would normally be expected. Clearly, epidemics of
streptococcal infections, including impetigo,
pharyngitis, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever have
occurred in the past. However, in the last decade,
subsequent to early reports of streptococcal TSS, we
have observed that the incidence has remained
relatively low. I hypothesize that large outbreaks have
not occurred because 1) most of the population probably
has immunity to one or more streptococcal virulence
factors (6,25); 2) predisposing conditions (e.g.,
varicella, and use of NSAIDs) are required in a
given patient; and 3) only a small percentage of the
population may have an inherent predisposition to
severe streptococcal infection because of
constitutional factors such as HLA Class II
antigen type (77,78), B-cell (79), or specific Vb
regions on lymphocytes. This last hypothesis is further
supported by the observation that secondary cases of
streptococcal TSS, though reported (80), have been
rare.

In your letter dated September 19, 2008 you requested a tariff
classification ruling. The sample which you submitted is being retained
by this office.
A style number was not provided for the sample submitted. It is a camera
sheath constructed of non-rigid molded silicone. It is specially fitted
for a digital camera and designed to provide maximum protection from
impact and abrasion while allowing full access to all the features the
camera possesses.
In your letter, you suggest classification under subheading
3926.90.9980, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
which provides for other articles of plastics, other. You also suggest
classification under subheading 9006.91.0000, HTSUS, which provides for
parts and accessories for photographic cameras. This provision is
limited to parts and accessories for film cameras, not digital cameras.
Classification under the HTSUS is made in accordance with the General
Rules of Interpretation (GRI). Pursuant to GRI 1, goods shall be
determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule
and any relative Section or Chapter Notes under the heading that most
specifically describes them. The camera sheath is more specifically
classified under heading 4202, HTSUS.
The applicable subheading for the non-rigid molded silicone camera
sheath will be 4202.99.9000, HTSUS, which provides for in part, for
other containers and cases, other, other. The rate of duty will be 20
percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.

.AVIATION...
DIURNAL CUMULUS DISSIPATING RAPIDLY THIS EVENING AS SUN SETS. WINDS
ALSO BECOMING LIGHT. LITTLE BIT OF CU LEFT OVER NORTHEAST INDIANA
WITH WEAK UPPER CIRCULATION. THIS COULD ROTATE INTO KFWA FROM TIME
TO TIME NEXT FEW HOURS SO WILL ACCOUNT FOR THIS WITH A BROKEN VFR
TEMPO GROUP. SOME PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT WITH CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS. DRIER AIR UPSTREAM SHOULD ADVECT IN AND LOWER DEWPOINTS
SO COUNTING ON THIS TO KEEP WIDESPREAD FOG FROM FORMING. HIGH MOVES
OVER AREA THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE THICKENING AND LOWERING
CLOUDS MOVE IN. CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION BEFORE 00Z SLIM AND NOT
WORTH A MENTION IN TAFS AT THIS POINT.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT AND MONDAY
RATHER BENIGN SHORT TERM WEATHER AS SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL ACTUALLY BE
CLOUD COVER EARLY THIS EVENING DUE TO WIDESPREAD INSTABILITY CUMULUS
AND RESIDUAL STRATOCUMULUS ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW MOVING VORT MAX
ALONG SOUTHEAST SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN.
MODELS DID A POOR JOB HANDLING THIS VORTICITY MAX AND ASSOCIATED
CLOUD COVER. VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW NICE CIRCULATION MOVING
SOUTH ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN. AT 19Z THIS
CIRCULATION WAS JUST OFFSHORE OF HOLLAND MICHIGAN AND APPEARED TO BE
DRIFTING A BIT SOUTHWEST. LATEST RUC40 EVEN STRUGGLING WITH A
POSITION SOUTH OF CHICAGO AT 19Z...THOUGH IT DOES HAVE AN ELONGATED
AXIS OF VORTICITY NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. A SECONDARY
VORT MAX HAS SHOWN UP IN THE CU FIELD THIS AFTERNOON NEAR THE TRI
STATE BORDER AREA. THIS CIRCULATION HAS BEEN SLOW TO MOVE BUT AIDING
IN CONVERGENCE AND CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.
MOST OF THE CU FIELD IS VERY CELLULAR IN NATURE AND EXPECT ITS
DISSIPATION WITH SUNSET AS DIURNAL HEATING IS LOST. THIS SHOULD
LEAVE A SMALL AREA OF CLOUDS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE VORT MAX
OVER THE NORTHWEST AREA. AS VORT MAX SINKS SOUTH AND SUBSIDENCE FROM
RIDGING MOVES IN...FEEL THIS AREA WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AS WELL.
WILL HAVE REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON HOURS AS MOSTLY CLOUDY AND DECREASE
MOST OF THE CLOUDS THROUGH 01Z...TRENDING TO MOSTLY CLEAR BY MID
EVENING. WITH THE RIDGE DIRECTLY OVER TOP SHOULD SEE WINDS BECOME
CALM ALONG WITH THE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES
BELOW COOLEST MOS...INTO THE MIDDLE 20S.
MONDAY WILL BEGIN NICE WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN
THE MORNING. NEXT SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH WITH HIGH CLOUDS
INCREASING DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD APPROACH NORMAL
VALUES IN THE MID 50S BEFORE THICKEST CLOUD COVER REACHES THE AREA.
WHILE LOW LEVELS REMAIN RATHER DRY FOR MOST OF THE DAY...SATURATION
DOES BEGIN TO OCCUR TOWARD 00Z SO HAVE LEFT THE SMALL CHANCE OF
LIGHT SHOWERS IN THE FAR WEST STARTING AFTER 21Z.
&&
.LONG TERM...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PATTERN EVOLUTION WILL BE UNDERWAY IN THE MEDIUM
RANGE PERIOD WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SWING FROM THE CURRENT
BELOW AVERAGE VALUES TO ABOVE NORMAL BY MID WEEK. CURRENT PATTERN IS
TYPICAL OF AN END STAGE MATURE -AO EPISODE WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE
HEIGHT ANOMALIES IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE CLUSTERED WITHIN A BELT
IN THE MID LATITUDES WITH THE HIGH LATITUDES AND THE ARCTIC
DOMINATED BY POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES. AS THIS LATEST PATTERN
REGIME FADES THE BLOCKING PATTERN WHICH HAS BEEN IN PLACE ACROSS
NOAM WILL BREAK DOWN WITH THE PERSISTENT COLD CLOSED LOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES FINALLY EJECTING OFF THE EAST COAST. AS THIS BLOCKING
PATTERN BREAKS DOWN A PARADE OF SIGNIFICANT WAVES OF PACIFIC ORIGIN
WILL BEGIN TO PROGRESS FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NOAM. IN ADDITION...
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL FORCING MANIFESTED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AS A
PLUME OF MOISTURE EXTENDING ACROSS THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WILL LIKELY
CONTRIBUTE MOISTURE AND WAVE PACKETS TO THE PACIFIC WAVE TRAIN.
LOOKING AT THE DAILIES THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF PACIFIC WAVES IS NOW
CROSSING THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND WILL REMAIN PROGRESSIVE
AS THE LAST VESTIGE OF THE CENTRAL CONUS OMEGA BLOCK QUICKLY
DISSOLVES. NAM/GFS IN GOOD AGREEMENT NOW IN TAKING A CLOSED MID
LEVEL LOW FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS TO SOUTHERN OHIO MON NGT AND TUE.
MID LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE REFLECTION WILL BE STEADILY FILLING AS
THEY CROSS THE REGION WITH AN OVERALL WEAKENING IN DYNAMICS WITH
TIME. NONETHELESS A PERIOD OF DPVA AHEAD OF THE WAVE COUPLED WITH
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW
TRACK WILL PRODUCE A PERIOD OF RAIN ACROSS THE CWA FROM MON EVENING
THROUGH TUE MORNING. ANY PRECIP WILL FALL AS LIQUID GIVEN THE
SIGNIFICANT WARM LAYER IN THE LOWEST LEVELS PROMOTING FULL MELTING.
HAVE INCREASED POPS TO HIGH LIKELY FOR MON NGT AND ALSO INCREASED
POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE OHIO COUNTIES FOR TUE MORNING. ANY RAIN
SHOULD END LATER TUE WITH A SURFACE HIGH BUILDING IN FOR TUE NGT AND
WED. GIVEN PATTERN RECOGNITION OF A FILLING LOW AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS...EXPECT SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER TO
LINGER TUE NGT AND EVEN INTO WED MORNING.
NEXT SIGNIFICANT WAVE NOW CROSSING THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL EMERGE
ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS WED NGT. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS COMING INTO
REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THIS FEATURE. BOTH THE GEM
ENSEMBLES AND GFS ENSEMBLES SHOWING A MAJORITY CLUSTERING OF
MEMBERS AROUND A COMMON PATH THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH THE
LATEST OPERATIONAL RUNS WELL WITHIN THE ENSEMBLE ENVELOPE. BASIC
EVOLUTION WILL TAKE A STRONG MID LEVEL TROUGH AND SWING IT THROUGH
THE PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THU THROUGH FRI WITH A
TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING OUR REGION ON FRIDAY. AS IS TYPICALLY
THE CASE IN THE OHIO VALLEY...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SUGGEST PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR AND BE THE FOCUS
FOR CONVECTION. CURRENT GRIDS HAVE THE SITUATION WELL IN HAND AND
WILL MAKE VERY FEW CHANGES. CHANCE OF TSRA CONTINUES IN THE FORECAST
FOR THU NGT THROUGH FRI WITH A CHANCE OF LINGERING SHRA FRI NGT. IF
FUTURE MODEL ITERATIONS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST FASTER MOTION...CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED THU AFTERNOON AS WELL.
NEXT WEEKEND MODEL AGREEMENT BEGINS TO DECREASE RAPIDLY...WHICH IS
TYPICAL OF A TRANSITIONAL PATTERN IN SPRING. GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE
LOOKING PACIFIC WAVE TRAIN AND ONGOING TROPICAL FORCING CONNECTION
IN THE PACIFIC SUSPECT THERE WILL BE A THIRD SYSTEM POSSIBLY DAY 7
OR DAY 8 /SUN OR MON/. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF SPREAD AMONGST ENSEMBLE

EASTERN COLORADO. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE EXPANDED FURTHER EAST.
AT 03Z KAKO AS WELL AS YUMA COLORADO GUSTING OVER 50 MPH ON
LEADING EDGE OF POSSIBLY SOME LIGHT SHOWERS BUT AS THE RUC ALSO
POINTS OUT 40+KT 800 MB WINDS. LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALSO RATHER
HIGH...OVER 8C/KM. THROUGH 06Z THE CORE OF THE STRONGER WINDS
MOVES SOUTHEAST TOWARD FAR WESTERN KANSAS AS THE TIGHTLY WOUND
UPPER LOW CONTINUES EAST ACROSS NEBRASKA. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE RIGHT
NOW IS FOR ADVISORY CRITERIA GUSTS (OVER 45 MPH) TO OCCUR ACROSS
FAR EASTERN COLORADO. WILL NEED TO WATCH SHERMAN AND CHEYENNE
COUNTIES OF KANSAS AS WELL AS DUNDY COUNTY NEBRASKA DURING THE
NEXT FEW HOURS AS EVEN STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED AT 800MB. HOW
MUCH OF THAT WORKS TO THE SURFACE IS THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW.

.MORNING UPDATE...
FORECAST IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. VIS SAT SHOWING SOME DISSIPATING
LOW STRATUS OVER THE FAR NERN CWA...WITH LOW-LEVEL CU FIELD
BEGINNING TO DEVELOP CWA-WIDE. THIS TREND WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
TODAY PER THE LATEST ETA AND RUC SOUNDINGS. SO WILL CONTINUE THE
PARTLY SUNNY WORDING. TEMPS RANGING FROM NEAR 50 OVER NE TO MID
50S SW...MAYBE A FEW 56-57 DEGREE READINGS...LOOKS REASONABLE.

TWEAKED TEMPS TO REFLECT THIS. OTHERWISE...NICE DAY WITH NORTHERLY
WINDS 5-10 MPH.

SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)
THE COLD...CYCLONIC AND SOMEWHAT MOIST NWLY FLOW OF THE PAST COUPLE
OF DAYS HAS BECOME DRIER AND MORE ANTICYCLONIC AS A SFC HIGH BUILDS
INTO THE REGION TODAY. THE AIR CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRY OUT IN THE
LOWER LEVELS.
THE MAIN FCST PROBLEMS FOR THE SHORT TERM IS DEALING WITH THE
MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN TODAY AND THE RESULTANT HIGH TEMPS.
OVERNIGHT...HOW MUCH OF A RETURN TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWER
LEVELS TAKES PLACE BY MORNING UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND THE
RESULTANT MIN TEMPS.
ONLY SMALL TWEAKS TO THE CURRENT FCST TEMP TRENDS FOR TODAY AND
TONIGHT. --21
LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
TWO WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT CENTRAL KENTUCKY AND SOUTH CENTRAL
INDIANA DURING THE LONG TERM. THE FIRST WILL COME LATE MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY WITH THE SECOND THURSDAY AND FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY.
MODELS ARE IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT BUT ECMWF SEEMS TO A LITTLE
SLOWER...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE
FASTER GFS BUT WILL NOT GO AS HIGH ON POPS.
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...LOW PRESSURE ACCOMPANYING THIS FIRST SYSTEM
WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS THEN EAST SOUTHEAST INTO
THE GREAT LAKES STATES. SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND THE RETREATING HIGH
PRESSURE AREA WILL BRING SOME INCREASE IN MOISTURE BUT WITH STRONGER
850 MB WINDS NOT HAVING MUCH TIME OUT OF THE GULF MOISTURE WILL BE
SOMEWHAT LIMITED. SHOWERS WILL BE NUMEROUS BUT RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
NOT BE ALL THAT HEAVY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. AS THIS HIGH MOVES TO THE ATLANTIC COAST...SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL DRAW WARMER AND MORE MOIST AIR NORTH FROM THE GULF. FLOW
AT 850 MB IS MORE FAVORABLE FOR CARRYING MOISTURE NORTH FROM GULF
AND WILL ALLOW DEW POINTS TO INCREASE AS A RESULT. THIS GREATER
WARMTH AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES WILL AID IN DESTABILIZING AIRMASS AND
WILL KEEP CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN FORECAST ALONG AND AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM. LOOK FOR FRONTAL PASSAGE THURSDAY NIGHT. WILL CHANGE
PRECIPITATION TYPE BACK TO SHOWERS FOR THE LAST HALF OF FRIDAY
NIGHT.
WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL SPREAD INTO THE AREA FOR THE MIDDLE AND
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LOW SPINNING WELL OFFSHORE
SOMEWHERE NEAR 41N 63W LATE THIS MORNING. HAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF
CLOUD FORMATIONS ACROSS OUR CWA BASED ON VISIBLE AND INFRARED
IMAGERY...WITH A SOLID DECK OF MID CLOUDS ACROSS THE BALTIMORE AND
DC METRO AREAS...AND MORE IN THE WAY OF CU AND STRATOCU STREAKING
ACROSS THE REST OF NORTH CENTRAL VA AND PLACES WEST OF THE BLUE
RIDGE. NO MATTER THE TYPE (OR QUALITY) OF THE CLOUDS...THE QUANTITY
DENOTES MOSTLY CLOUDY FOR JUST ABOUT OUR ENTIRE CWA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON WITH MID AND LOWER MOISTURE IN PLACE. A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING
IS WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE ANY MENTION OF PRECIP THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. OROGRAPHICS WILL KEEP A FEW SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS ALONG AND
WEST OF THE ALLEGANY FRONT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL HAVE
CHC POPS IN THIS AREA. KLWX 88D HAS BEEN DOWN THIS MORNING...YET
SURROUNDING RADAR INFORMATION INCLUDING BWI TDWR INDICATED VERY
WEAK RETURNS (NOT EVEN 10 DBZ) WRAPPING AROUND INTO THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY ALONG A LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT ZONE. KDOV GIVES A LITTLE GROUND
TRUTH TO THESE WEAK ECHOES WITH 7SM IN -RA. IN ADDITION...THE
LATEST RUNS OF THE RUC AND NAM SHOW MOISTURE TO SUPPORT THIS LIGHT
PRECIP IN ROUGHLY THE SAME AREA THAT RADAR TRENDS IMPLY.
THEREFORE...EXPECT SIMILAR ECHOES TO THAT AFFECTING KDOV TO
BRUSH THE BAY AND OUR EXTREME EASTERN CWA THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
INSERT 20 POPS HERE...INCLUDING BALTIMORE CITY...THEN TAPER TO A N

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUE IN THE FAVORED UPSLOPE AREAS IN NW FLOW.
WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION CHANCE POPS IN THE WEST FOR UPSLOPE PRECIP.
EXPECT ANY ADTNL ACCUMS BELOW 1 INCH IN THE HIGHER ELEVS.
ELSEWHERE...EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY DUE TO AFTN CU DVLPNT ALTHOUGH
PARTIAL SUNSHINE WILL BE EXPERIENCED. IN THE SOUTH EXPECT MORE
SUNSHINE IN THE CENTRAL SHEN VLY. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE BELOW
NORMAL WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 40S WEST TO THE LOWER 50S IN THE SOUTH
AND EAST.
HIGH PRES WILL BEGIN TO NOSE INTO THE MID ATLC TNGT AND AFTN CU
SHOULD GRADUALLY DISSIPATE IN THE EVNG LEAVING MOSTLY CLEAR AND COOL
CONDS OVERNGT.
LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
OBSERVATIONS: 500MB HEIGHT/ANOMALY PATTERN DURING THE PAST 5 DAYS
INDICATES THAT A STRONG UPPER LOW ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES HAS
SHEARED INTO TWO...WITH THE MAJORITY OF ENERGY PASSING ACROSS THE
ATLANTIC. A WEAK DISTURBANCE FROM THE SOUTHWEST CONUS HAS JOINED UP
WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LEFTOVER ENERGY TO ALLOW AN UPPER LOW TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC. A BLOCKING PATTERN ACROSS THE
PACIFIC OCEAN IS BEGINNING TO BREAK DOWN. WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS AN
UPPER LOW ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC...WITH A STRONG WAVE MOVING INTO
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. 03Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A WEAK BOUNDARY WNW
INTO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. A SECOND WEAK BOUNDARY EXTENDS SOUTHWEST
ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. A PAIR OF 1027MB ANTICYCLONES
DOMINATE THE CENTRAL CONUS.
MODELS: THE 00Z NAM/WRF-NMM/GFS/CANADIAN/UKMET ALONG WITH THE 12Z
EUROPEAN WERE EXAMINED. THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THE MODEL
SUITE WITH RISING HEIGHTS EARLY THIS WEEK. A WAVE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES ACROSS THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC
OR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND DURING THE MIDWEEK. AFTER ANOTHER ROUND OF
RISING HEIGHTS LATE DURING THE WORK WEEK...MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER
WAVE APPROACHES THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AT THE END OF THE FORECAST
CYCLE.
ENSEMBLES: 12Z GFS 500MB HEIGHT ENSEMBLES SHOW GOOD CONTINUITY WITH
A PERIOD OF RISING HEIGHTS EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHILE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
INDICATE A TROUGH WILL PASS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BY MIDWEEK.
ANOTHER RIDGE BUILDS IN...BEFORE ANOTHER TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE
MIDWEST TOWARD THE END OF THE FORECAST CYCLE (WITH BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH REGARD TO TIMING).
00Z GFS ENSEMBLE MOS FROM FRIDAY EVENING SHOWS MEAN HIGH
TEMPERATURES RISE FROM THE MIDDLE 50S INTO THE UPPER 60S BY
FRIDAY...WITH MIDDLE 60S SATURDAY. MEAN LOWS RISE FROM NEAR 30
DEGREES INTO THE MIDDLE 40S (WITH GOOD CLUSTERING). MEAN POPS HOVER
NEAR ZERO EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEN RISE BACK TO 20-30 PERCENT DURING
THE MIDWEEK AND AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEKEND (WITH DECENT AGREEMENT).
FORECAST RATIONALE: CLOUDS BREAK WITH MODERATING TREND EARLY THIS
WEEK. APPROACH OF THE NEXT WAVE SHOULD INCREASE CLOUDS AND PRESENT A
CHANCE OF RAIN (OR RAIN/SNOW) TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
A SECOND MODERATING TREND WILL SET UP FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE
WORK WEEK AS A AMPLIFIED RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE EASTERN CONUS. THIS
PATTERN MAY SLOW THE APPROACH OF A LATE WEEK SYSTEM BEYOND THE VALID
FORECAST CYCLE.
CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT A BAY BREEZE MAY DEVELOP THURSDAY (WEAK
FLOW AS THE SURFACE RIDGE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST...WITH STRONG
WARMING ALONG THE LAND AND COOL ADJACENT WATERS). GRADIENT SHOULD BE
STRONGER FRIDAY...ENCOURAGING A STRONGER SOUTHERLY FLOW.
MARINE...
HAVE ISSUED A SCA FOR ALL WATERS THROUGH EARLY EVNG. EXPECT DECENT
MIXING TODAY AND GUSTS NEAR 20 KT HAVE ALREADY BEGUN AT A FEW OF THE
REPORTING STATIONS. THANKS AKQ FOR THE SCA COORD.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
315 PM CST SUN MAR 26 2006
.DISCUSSION...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
PRIMARY CONCERN IN SHORT RANGE CONTINUES TO BE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
PASSING NEARBY ON MONDAY AND ITS IMPACT ON PRECIPITATION TYPE AND
TIMING. MORNING H5 ANALYSIS AND CURRENT GOES WV LOOP SHOWS SYSTEM
OF INTEREST SPINNING ACROSS CENTRAL WY WITH UPGLIDING MOISTURE
ENTERING THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. VIS LOOP SHOWS SOME
ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE DAKOTAS BUT NO 88D RETURNS AT
PRESENT. ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE OVER CWA NOT ALL THAT DRY AS SOME CU
SEEN AND MORNING RAOBS INDICATED NO REAL DRY AIR INTRUSION AFTER THE
LOW CLOUDS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS FINALLY ERODED. SO DO NOT THINK IT
WILL TAKE LONG TO SATURATE TONIGHT AS MODEL PROGGED PWS ARE IN THE
ORDER OF 0.5 TO 0.7 INCHES AND MIXING RATIOS ON LOW LEVEL THETA
LAYERS OF CLOSE TO FOUR G/KG. HOWEVER FORCING IS LACKING DUE TO
SYSTEM BEING STACKED AND DWINDLING WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE MODEL
SOLUTION. UPPER LEVEL JET REMAINS WELL SOUTH WITH LEFT EXIT
DIFFLUENT REGION AND ASSOCIATED H8-H5 OMEGA PEAKING OVER IA AND FAR
SOUTHERN CWA.
MODELS GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT AS 12Z AND 18Z NAM SOLUTIONS
COMING IN LINE WITH THE GFS IN HAVING THE SYSTEM GLIDE ESE OVER IA.
SOME WIDE HPC SREF SPREADS IN QPF LOCATION AND AMOUNT...BUT
GENERALLY WENT WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS AND LATER ONSET TIME DUE TO NO
REAL AREA OF FOCUS. BUFKIT SNDGS ON THE VARIOUS MODELS INDICATE RA
OR SN POSSIBILITIES. IN FAR WEST WHERE RUC AND NAM INDICATE
OVERNIGHT LLJ OF 50KT...A PROGGED WARM LAYER OF 2-3C IS ADVECTED IN.
SREF DOMINANT PRECIP TYPE DOES INDICATE SOME ZR WITH THIS...SO
THEREFORE HAVE INTRODUCED THE CHC FROM 8Z THROUGH DAWN IN W AND NW
ZONES. PRECIP CHANCES LAST ALL OF MONDAY AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS
SYSTEM PROGGED TO MOVE SLOWLY...WITH BEST CHANCES GENERALLY IN
SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA AND BEFORE 18Z MON. AFTER THAT POINT
ASSOCIATED INVERTED SFC TROUGH PASSES AND DRIER AIR STARTS TO MOVE
IN. PRECIP TYPE COULD SWITCH AROUND A FEW TIMES DURING THE DURATION
OF THIS EVENT DUE TO DIABATIC EFFECTS AND DIURNAL TRENDS...BUT ALL
IN ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE LIGHT AND GENERALLY RAIN OR SNOW WITH MAX
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AT AN INCH.
LOW LEVEL CLOUDS SHOULD STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE SIMILAR TO LAST
SYSTEM. LAZY LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD KEEP THEM THROUGH TUES AND
POSSIBILY EVEN INTO TUES NIGHT. STRONG WAA STARTS IN ON WEDS AHEAD
OF NEXT SYSTEM. WITH TEMPS DURING SHORT RANGE MADE ONLY MINOR
TWEAKS...EDGING UP TEMPS A BIT THROUGH MON NIGHT GIVEN MAXS THIS
AFTN.
LONGER TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
THE LATEST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS OFF THE GFS AND EUROPEAN MODELS ARE
SHOWING SIGNS OF DISCONTINUITY IN OVERALL UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER
NORTH AMERICA DURING THE PERIOD...AS THE PATTERN BECOMES MORE
PROGRESSIVE. GFS IS THE MORE AGGRESSOR OF LIFTING SYSTEM INTO THE
GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY MORNING.
TIMING OF THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE CRITICAL THU AND FRI WITH THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW PROJECTED TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS ON THURSDAY. POPS STILL SEEM REASONABLE FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY DUE TO DYNAMICS ALONG WITH INCREASING INSTABLITY AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM. HOWEVER...THE BEST FORCING AND LIFT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR
OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
TEMPS BY THURSDAY ARE EXPECTED TO MODERATE INTO THE 50S THEN MORE
TYPICAL SPRING-LIKE OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

836 PM MST SUN MAR 26 2006
.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
UPDATES MADE TO END PRECIPITATION SOONER THIS EVENING...REDUCE SKY
COVER...AND ADJUST WINDS. SHORT WAVE TROUGH CROSSING EASTERN
WYOMING AND EASTERN MONTANA HAS MADE SLIGHTLY QUICKER PROGRESSION
THAN EXPECTED...ENDING PRECIPITATION ACROSS WESTERN HALF OF CWA
WITH PARTIAL CLEARING SPREADING INTO EXTREME WESTERN ZONES AS A FLAT
SHORT WAVE RIDGE BUILDS INTO CENTRAL MONTANA. AREA RADARS SHOWING
REDUCED REFLECTIVITIES OF PRECIPITATION BAND ACROSS EASTERN
PORTION OF CWA...WITH FEW AUTOMATED STATIONS REPORTING PRECIP...
SUGGESTING THAT PRECIPITATION WILL DWINDLE AS IT TRANSLATES TOWARD
WESTERN DAKOTAS. MODELS SHOW ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE INTO SHORT
WAVE TROUGH AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THIS WILL
AFFECT DAKOTAS BECAUSE OF QUICKER PROGRESSION OF WHOLE SYSTEM.
HENCE...HAVE DROPPED BACK TO NEAR ZERO POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT EXCEPT
FOR AT MONTANA/DAKOTA BORDER. ALSO BRING CLEARING INTO WESTERN
HALF OF CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND TWEAKED 12-18Z GRID TO REDUCE SKY
COVER EARLY IN SECOND PERIOD. NORTHWEST WINDS REMAIN QUITE FRESH
BUT NOT CURRENTLY AS STRONG AS FORECAST...SO HAVE TWEAKED WINDS
DOWN SLIGHTLY AND LIMITED GUSTS TO SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CWA.
TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY APPEAR ON TRACK...IN PART BECAUSE OF
PERSISTENCE OF WIND TO AFFORD SOME MIXING OVERNIGHT. SAME REASONING
FOR NO MENTION OF FOG OVERNIGHT...EXPECT WIND TO KEEP THINGS MIXED.
PREVIOUS SHORT TERM...
UPPER LOW CLOSES OFF OVER NEBRASKA TONIGHT AND HEADS FURTHER
EAST. LOCAL AREA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE UPPER TROUGH THIS EVENING.
WITH DESCENT LIFT WILL SEE CONTINUED PRECIPITATION OVER THE
EASTERN ZONES TONIGHT. SNOW/RAIN MIX WILL CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW
LATE BUT AS THE AREA OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION MOVES INTO THE
DAKOTAS THE LOCAL AREA WILL SEE DIMINISHING SNOWFALL OVERNIGHT. AN
UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN BUILDING INTO THE REGION MONDAY AND SHOULD
KEEP THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM DRY.
TONIGHT...AS THE PRECIPITATION MOVES EAST THE 850MB TEMPERATURES
ABOVE WILL REMAIN BELOW FREEZING...AROUND MINUS 2-3C SO WILL
CONTINUE THE MIX INITIALLY AND TURN IT TO ALL SNOW AFTER 3Z AS
SURFACE TEMPERATURES DROP. RUC PRETTY MUCH CUTS OFF MOST
PRECIPITATION AFTER 3Z...ABOUT THE TIME THAT IT SHOULD TURN TO
ALL SNOW. HOWEVER WILL LEAVE LIKELY POPS IN FOR THIS EVENING
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA...THEN ONLY IN THE EASTERN
ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH PRETTY GOOD LIFT...USING A BLEND OF GFS
AND NAM...COULD GET 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW TONIGHT IN THE EASTERN
ZONES.
MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...SKIES WILL BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY THEN CLEAR
FROM THE WEST IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH TEMPERATURES RISING TO ABOVE
NORMAL WITH MODERATE WEST WINDS...MONDAY COULD BECOME A PLEASANT
DAY. HOWEVER OVERNIGHT WINDS WILL TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST ONCE AGAIN
BUT AT MODERATE STRENGTH.
TUESDAY...UPPER FLOW WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST WHICH WILL INCREASE
850 TEMPERATURES TO 5C TO 10C. COULD BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK.
ALSO COULD SEE INCREASING HIGH CLOUD BY LATE AFTERNOON AS THE
NEXT STORM SYSTEM MOVES ON SHORE ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST.
.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF MINOR TWEAKS TO RH AND DEWPOINT
GRIDS...GOING FORECAST LOOKED GOOD. -TFJ
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... GOOD INITIAL AGREEMENT AMONG
CANADIAN/ECMWF/GFS SOLUTIONS... BRINGING A LONG WAVE TROUGH INTO
WESTERN CONUS TUESDAY NIGHT. AS TROUGH SWINGS EASTWARD INTO GREAT
BASIN WEDNESDAY...INCREASING CHANCES OF RAIN SHOWERS SPREADING
EASTWARD ACROSS REGION AS A SURFACE LOW TRACKS EAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN MONTANA. GFS 850MB TEMPERATURES PROGGED TO REMAIN ABOVE
FREEZING...AND TIMING DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS SUPPORTS LIQUID VERSUS
FROZEN PHASE. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW AS
SURFACE TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO FALL A BIT BELOW FREEZING AND 850MB
TEMPERATURES SAG TO AROUND FREEZING BY DAWN THURSDAY. BY DAY
THURSDAY...LONG WAVE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST OF REGION AND DAMPS
OUT...BRINGING AN END TO RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FROM WEST ACROSS
CWA. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIRMASS BUILDS INTO REGION ON VEERING UPPER
FLOW BY THURSDAY NIGHT WITH PARTIAL CLEARING.
BEGINNING FRIDAY...MODEL SOLUTIONS DIVERGE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY AS GFS
DEVELOPS A QUASI-ZONAL FLOW PATTERN FOR NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH
REMAINDER OF PERIOD...WHILE ECMWF BRINGS ANOTHER LONG WAVE TROUGH
INTO WESTERN CONUS SIMILAR TO SYSTEM EXPECTED MID-WEEK. HAVE CHOSEN
TO KEEP THIS LATER PERIOD DRY WITH NEAR SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES DUE
TO ZONAL FLOW IN GFS...AND ECMWF APPEARS TO TAKE BULK OF MOISTURE
AND JET DYNAMICS SOUTH OF REGION. THIS APPROACH SEEMS REASONABLE FOR
FRIDAY...BUT SATURDAY MORE UNCERTAIN.

A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IS DIMINISHING AS IT EXITS EASTERN MONTANA

921 AM MST SUN MAR 26 2006
.SHORT TERM...FOR NORTHEAST MONTANA...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
UPDATE...PRECIPITATION IS CUTTING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA
BUT THE BULK REMAINS TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE RUC/GFS AND
NAM ALL SHOW SIGNIFICANT QPF MOVING INTO THE AREA BY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES ALOFT REMAIN BELOW 0C FOR MOST OF THE CWA BUT SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE RISING INTO THE MID 40S F TO THE SOUTHWEST AND
MID 30S ELSEWHERE. GENERALLY KEPT PRECIPITATION AS A RAIN/SNOW
MIX. SNOW AMOUNTS COULD RANGE AROUND 1 OR 2 INCHES THROUGH THIS
EVENING. ALSO ADJUSTED MAX TEMPS AND WINDS TO FIT CURRENT
OBSERVATIONS AND UPDATED MODELS. SCT
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
SURFACE TROF NEARING THE WESTERN FRINGE OF THE CWA CURRENTLY. EAST
WIND STILL GOING STRONG ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SURFACE TROF WILL
MOVE STEADILY EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BRINGING A WIND SHIFT TO
NORTHWEST. OTHER THAN ALONG THE TROF AXIS AS IT PASSES THERE WILL
BE NO RESPITE FROM THE WIND AS IT WILL BLOW STRONGER BEHIND THE
TROF THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE ABATING OVERNIGHT. THE
UPPER TROF WILL FOLLOW CLOSELY BEHIND THE SURFACE TROF WITH THE
LIONS SHARE OF THE ENERGY PASSING SOUTH OF US ACROSS WYOMING INTO
SOUTHERN MONTANA. GOOD MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA ALREADY SO AS WE
GET BETTER DYNAMICS TODAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SYSTEM WE SHOULD
SEE MOST OF THE AREA GETTING AT LEAST SOME PRECIPITATION. THERMAL
PROFILES STILL PRETTY MUCH A MESS...SO STILL DIFFICULT TO PUT A
FINGER ON EXACTLY WHEN AND WHO GETS WHAT. THAT SAID...WILL REMOVE
MENTION OF FREEZING RAIN AS MOST SPOTS ACROSS THE AREA STILL ABOVE
FREEZING WITH CLOUDS LOWERING AND DEWPOINTS RISING. SO NOT REALLY
EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO DROP MUCH...IF ANY FROM WHERE THEY ARE
NOW. PRECIPITATION SHOWING UP ON RADAR STILL WELL WEST OF THE CWA.
SO PROBABLY THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL
AFTER SUNRISE AND TEMPERATURES GET A CHANCE TO RISE A BIT. WITH
THE MODELS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING ON THE SAME PAGE WITH RESPECT
TO THERMAL PROFILES TODAY...WILL LEAVE THE PRECIPITATION TODAY AS
RAIN OR SNOW...EVEN THO MOST SPOTS SHOULD EXPERIENCE TEMPERATURES
TODAY AT LEAST SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING. WILL LEAVE PRECIPITATION ALL SNOW
TONIGHT AS IT MARCHES EAST AND OUT OF HERE BY MONDAY MORNING AS
THE MODELS DO COME TOGETHER A BIT BETTER FOR TONIGHT WITH EXPECTED
TEMPERATURES ALOFT. SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH
PERHAPS NEAR 2 INCHES IN THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE CWA WHERE
BEST LIFT SHOULD OCCUR. HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN AT ALL LEVELS BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. UPPER RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE FOR TUESDAY BUT THE
SURFACE HIGH DRIFTS EAST AND LOW PRESSURE HEADS OUR WAY FROM THE
WEST. THIS SETS UP...YES YOU GUESSED IT...ANOTHER ROUND OF EAST

...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS CENTERED OVER DAKOTAS EARLY THIS MORNING
WHILE APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE ROCKIES.
SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING BETWEEN HIGH OVER MN/WI AND LOW
OVER ROCKIES. SE WINDS ALREADY 15-25 MPH FROM JAMES RIVER WEST AND
WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. LOW CLOUDS STREAMING NORTH INTO
CWA WITH MOISTURE AND WARM AIR ADVECTION. REMOVED FRZ DRIZZLE
MENTION FOR THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS CEILINGS APPEAR TO BE A BIT
TOO HIGH AND TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS REMAIN AROUND 5 DEGREES.
CEILING/VIS OBS ACROSS NEB PANHANDLE INDICATE CEILINGS BELOW 1000 FT
WITH VIS DROPPING TO AROUND 5-6SM. BELIEVE ANY DRIZZLE THAT'S
OCCURRING WOULD BE ACROSS THIS AREA. FIRST PART OF TODAY WILL
FEATURE INCREASING SE WINDS...ALONG WITH CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES. HELD BACK ON PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS CENTRAL SD UNTIL THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS BEST LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH WAVE DOES NOT OCCUR
UNTIL THEN. MODELS ARE SHOWING SFC LOW TRACKING ACROSS SD WITH SFC
LOW CENTER NEAR MN BORDER BY 12Z MON. THERE ARE SLIGHT VARIATIONS IN
EXACT TRACK...WITH GFS AND UK A BIT FARTHER SOUTH TOWARDS I-90 AND
SD/NE BORDER WHILE RUC AND NGM CLOSER TO NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES.
NAM FOLLOWS MORE OF A GFS TRACK. STILL APPEARS AS IF BEST CHANCE FOR
RAIN WILL BE ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES BETWEEN 00Z AND 12Z TONIGHT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE BEST 850-700MB OMEGA...ISENTROPIC FEATURES...AND
UPPER DIVERGENCE. RAISED POPS TO LIKELY ACROSS THE EAST OVERNIGHT.
ONE OF THE MORE DIFFICULT AREAS WITH THIS SYSTEM IS DECIDING HOW
MUCH COLD AIR WILL GET WRAPPED INTO THE AREA ON MON MORNING. HAVE
KEPT ALL RAIN MENTION FOR THE MOST PART IN THE EAST BUT THERE SHOULD
BE A RAIN/SNOW MIX AROUND AND JUST AFTER SUNRISE ON MON ACROSS THE
CENTRAL BEFORE TEMPS CLIMB ENOUGH TO CHANGE BACK TO RAIN. FEEL THAT
THERE WILL BE A DECENT AMOUNT OF WARM AIR DRAWN INTO THE SYSTEM AND
WITH CLOUDS TONIGHT AND BREEZY WINDS...THINK THAT TEMPERATURES WILL
HAVE A TOUGH TIME FALLING. SYSTEM DEPARTS MON EVENING MAKING WAY FOR
HIGH PRESSURE ON TUE. SHOULD SEE FAIRLY MILD TEMPS THIS DAY WITH
GOOD AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE EXPECTED. TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND TO NEAR
NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S TO LOW 50S. RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE
EAST BY TUESDAY EVENING AS SE SFC FLOW RETURNS IN ADVANCE OF YET
ANOTHER APPROACHING SYSTEM.
.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
IN THE LONG TERM...TEMPERATURES WARM UP FOR WEDNESDAY...WITH MODELS
FORECASTING AROUND 5 TO 10 C AIR AT 850 MB. SNOW COVER OVER THE
SOUTHWEST HOPEFULLY WILL BE LIMITED BY THIS TIME...BUT HAVE KEPT
TEMPS A LITTLE COOLER THAN POSSIBLE FOR NOW. LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND WITH SOME WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY...WENT
WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING
UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. TIMING AND TRACK DIFFERENCES DO EXIST HOWEVER. THE 00Z GFS IS

CLOSE SO KEPT BOTH RAIN/SNOW IN FORECAST. LOW PUSHES OFF TO THE ENE
ON FRIDAY...WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING IN. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
WILL LIKELY PUSH ESE ACROSS SRN CANADA ON SATURDAY...POSSIBLY
RESULTING IN A WEAK PUSH OF COOLER AIR LATE SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT.

SHORT TERM...
TONIGHT AND MONDAY
RATHER BENIGN SHORT TERM WEATHER AS SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL ACTUALLY BE
CLOUD COVER EARLY THIS EVENING DUE TO WIDESPREAD INSTABILITY CUMULUS
AND RESIDUAL STRATOCUMULUS ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW MOVING VORT MAX
ALONG SOUTHEAST SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN.
MODELS DID A POOR JOB HANDLING THIS VORTICITY MAX AND ASSOCIATED
CLOUD COVER. VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW NICE CIRCULATION MOVING
SOUTH ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE OF LAKE MICHIGAN. AT 19Z THIS
CIRCULATION WAS JUST OFFSHORE OF HOLLAND MICHIGAN AND APPEARED TO BE
DRIFTING A BIT SOUTHWEST. LATEST RUC40 EVEN STRUGGLING WITH A
POSITION SOUTH OF CHICAGO AT 19Z...THOUGH IT DOES HAVE AN ELONGATED
AXIS OF VORTICITY NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. A SECONDARY
VORT MAX HAS SHOWN UP IN THE CU FIELD THIS AFTERNOON NEAR THE TRI
STATE BORDER AREA. THIS CIRCULATION HAS BEEN SLOW TO MOVE BUT AIDING
IN CONVERGENCE AND CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON.
MOST OF THE CU FIELD IS VERY CELLULAR IN NATURE AND EXPECT ITS
DISSIPATION WITH SUNSET AS DIURNAL HEATING IS LOST. THIS SHOULD
LEAVE A SMALL AREA OF CLOUDS DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE VORT MAX
OVER THE NORTHWEST AREA. AS VORT MAX SINKS SOUTH AND SUBSIDENCE FROM
RIDGING MOVES IN...FEEL THIS AREA WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AS WELL.
WILL HAVE REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON HOURS AS MOSTLY CLOUDY AND DECREASE
MOST OF THE CLOUDS THROUGH 01Z...TRENDING TO MOSTLY CLEAR BY MID
EVENING. WITH THE RIDGE DIRECTLY OVER TOP SHOULD SEE WINDS BECOME
CALM ALONG WITH THE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT WITH LOW TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES
BELOW COOLEST MOS...INTO THE MIDDLE 20S.
MONDAY WILL BEGIN NICE WITH LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN
THE MORNING. NEXT SHORT WAVE WILL APPROACH WITH HIGH CLOUDS
INCREASING DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD APPROACH NORMAL
VALUES IN THE MID 50S BEFORE THICKEST CLOUD COVER REACHES THE AREA.
WHILE LOW LEVELS REMAIN RATHER DRY FOR MOST OF THE DAY...SATURATION
DOES BEGIN TO OCCUR TOWARD 00Z SO HAVE LEFT THE SMALL CHANCE OF
LIGHT SHOWERS IN THE FAR WEST STARTING AFTER 21Z.
LONG TERM...
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PATTERN EVOLUTION WILL BE UNDERWAY IN THE MEDIUM
RANGE PERIOD WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO SWING FROM THE CURRENT
BELOW AVERAGE VALUES TO ABOVE NORMAL BY MID WEEK. CURRENT PATTERN IS
TYPICAL OF AN END STAGE MATURE -AO EPISODE WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE
HEIGHT ANOMALIES IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE CLUSTERED WITHIN A BELT
IN THE MID LATITUDES WITH THE HIGH LATITUDES AND THE ARCTIC
DOMINATED BY POSITIVE HEIGHT ANOMALIES. AS THIS LATEST PATTERN
REGIME FADES THE BLOCKING PATTERN WHICH HAS BEEN IN PLACE ACROSS
NOAM WILL BREAK DOWN WITH THE PERSISTENT COLD CLOSED LOW OVER THE
GREAT LAKES FINALLY EJECTING OFF THE EAST COAST. AS THIS BLOCKING
PATTERN BREAKS DOWN A PARADE OF SIGNIFICANT WAVES OF PACIFIC ORIGIN
WILL BEGIN TO PROGRESS FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS NOAM. IN ADDITION...
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL FORCING MANIFESTED IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AS A
PLUME OF MOISTURE EXTENDING ACROSS THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WILL LIKELY
CONTRIBUTE MOISTURE AND WAVE PACKETS TO THE PACIFIC WAVE TRAIN.
LOOKING AT THE DAILIES THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF PACIFIC WAVES IS NOW
CROSSING THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND WILL REMAIN PROGRESSIVE
AS THE LAST VESTIGE OF THE CENTRAL CONUS OMEGA BLOCK QUICKLY
DISSOLVES. NAM/GFS IN GOOD AGREEMENT NOW IN TAKING A CLOSED MID
LEVEL LOW FROM CENTRAL ILLINOIS TO SOUTHERN OHIO MON NGT AND TUE.
MID LEVEL LOW AND SURFACE REFLECTION WILL BE STEADILY FILLING AS
THEY CROSS THE REGION WITH AN OVERALL WEAKENING IN DYNAMICS WITH
TIME. NONETHELESS A PERIOD OF DPVA AHEAD OF THE WAVE COUPLED WITH
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW
TRACK WILL PRODUCE A PERIOD OF RAIN ACROSS THE CWA FROM MON EVENING
THROUGH TUE MORNING. ANY PRECIP WILL FALL AS LIQUID GIVEN THE
SIGNIFICANT WARM LAYER IN THE LOWEST LEVELS PROMOTING FULL MELTING.
HAVE INCREASED POPS TO HIGH LIKELY FOR MON NGT AND ALSO INCREASED
POPS TO LIKELY OVER THE OHIO COUNTIES FOR TUE MORNING. ANY RAIN
SHOULD END LATER TUE WITH A SURFACE HIGH BUILDING IN FOR TUE NGT AND
WED. GIVEN PATTERN RECOGNITION OF A FILLING LOW AND MODEL
SOUNDINGS...EXPECT SIGNIFICANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER TO
LINGER TUE NGT AND EVEN INTO WED MORNING.
NEXT SIGNIFICANT WAVE NOW CROSSING THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL EMERGE
ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS WED NGT. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS COMING INTO
REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THIS FEATURE. BOTH THE GEM
ENSEMBLES AND GFS ENSEMBLES SHOWING A MAJORITY CLUSTERING OF
MEMBERS AROUND A COMMON PATH THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH THE
LATEST OPERATIONAL RUNS WELL WITHIN THE ENSEMBLE ENVELOPE. BASIC
EVOLUTION WILL TAKE A STRONG MID LEVEL TROUGH AND SWING IT THROUGH
THE PLAINS AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THU THROUGH FRI WITH A
TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING OUR REGION ON FRIDAY. AS IS TYPICALLY
THE CASE IN THE OHIO VALLEY...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SUGGEST PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR AND BE THE FOCUS
FOR CONVECTION. CURRENT GRIDS HAVE THE SITUATION WELL IN HAND AND
WILL MAKE VERY FEW CHANGES. CHANCE OF TSRA CONTINUES IN THE FORECAST
FOR THU NGT THROUGH FRI WITH A CHANCE OF LINGERING SHRA FRI NGT. IF
FUTURE MODEL ITERATIONS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST FASTER MOTION...CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED THU AFTERNOON AS WELL.
NEXT WEEKEND MODEL AGREEMENT BEGINS TO DECREASE RAPIDLY...WHICH IS
TYPICAL OF A TRANSITIONAL PATTERN IN SPRING. GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE
LOOKING PACIFIC WAVE TRAIN AND ONGOING TROPICAL FORCING CONNECTION
IN THE PACIFIC SUSPECT THERE WILL BE A THIRD SYSTEM POSSIBLY DAY 7
OR DAY 8 /SUN OR MON/. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF SPREAD AMONGST ENSEMBLE
GUIDANCE WILL OPT TO HOLD OFF ON INCLUSION OF POPS FOR NOW.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
415 AM EST MON MAR 27 2006
.DISCUSSION...
MAIN FCST CONCERNS SHIFT FROM CLOUDS/TEMPS THROUGH WED TO PCPN/TSTM
CHANCES LATER IN THE WEEK.
WV IMAGERY...RUC ANALYSIS AND 00Z RAOBS INDICATED A MID/UPR LVL LONG
WAVE RDG FROM THE MS VALLEY INTO MANITOBA AND A VIGOROUS UPSTREAM
SHRTWV TROF MOVING THROUGH WRN NEB. AN AREA OF MID/HIGH CLOUDS INTO
LK SUPERIOR AND NRN UPR MI WAS SUPPORTED BY A WEAK SHRTWV LOCATED
OVER WRN ONTARIO IN NW FLOW AHEAD OF THE RDG. AT THE SFC...A RDG
DOMINATED THE GREAT LAKES WHILE A TROF SLOWLY EDGED EASTWARD FROM
THE PLAINS.
MDLS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AT LEAST WITH THE OVERALL SCENARIO
SUGGESTING THAT THE MID LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCIATED QG FORCING WILL
REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF UPR MI AS IT UNDERCUTS THE RDG ON ITS WAY
TOWARD IN/OH BY TUE. THIS WILL ALLOW THE SFC A SFC RDG TO PERSIST
OVER THE UPR GRT LAKES THROUGH TUE WITH QUIET WEATHER IN STORE FOR
UPR MI.
TODAY...AFTER THE ONTARIO SHRTWV DEPARTS...EXPECT THAT THAT MID LVL
AND SFC RDGING AND VERY DRY AIR IN PLACE WILL KEEP SKIES MOSTLY
SUNNY. SO...ABUNDANT LATE MARCH SUNSHINE SHOULD AGAIN BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE MIXING TOWARD 850-800 MB...SIMILAR TO YESTERDAYS OBSERVED
SOUNDINGS. THIS WOULD SUPPORT TEMPS TOWARD THE HIGHER ETA GUIDANCE
VALUES IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S.
TONIGHT...THERE MAY BE SOME INCREASE IN MID/HIGH CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE WI BORDER. OTHERWISE...MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
SHOULD ALLOW GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WITH LIGHT/VRBL
WINDS. SO...EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL NEAR GUIDANCE VALUES...LOWER THAN
PREVIOUS FCSTS.
TUE...EVEN THOUGH THE GFS/NAM HINTS AT SOME INCREASE IN 925-850 MB
MOISTURE AS THE SFC RDG SAGS TO THE SOUTH...IT SEEMS DOUBTFUL THAT
IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CLOUDS. SO...WITH
SIMILAR THERMAL PRFL...PERSISTENCE AND MDLS TEMP GUIDANCE SEEMED
REASONABLE.
TUE NIGHT INTO WED...PATTERN PROGRESSION WITH THE MID LVL TROF
MOVING INTO THE ROCKIES AND RDGING OVER THE CNTRL CONUS WILL BRING
INCREASING SW FLOW TOWARD THE WRN GRT LAKES WITH MODEST INCREASE IN
MOISTURE. INCREASING WAA AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL BOOST TEMPS TO NEAR
50F WED AFTERNOON.
WED NIGHT...WITH A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN DEVELOPING...THE
ECMWF/UKMET WERE PREFERRED WHICH KEEP THE MOISTURE AXIS AND
ASSOCIATED PCPN CHANCES A BIT FARTHER WEST THAN THE GFS.
THU INTO FRI...UKMET/GFS/ECMWF/CANADIAN MDLS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH POSITION OF THE MID LVL TROF AND SFC LOW. THE 27/00Z GFS/ECMWF
DEVELOP DECENT LOW LVL JET BY THU NIGHT WITH H8 DEWPOINTS TO AROUND
8C PUSHING INTO UPR MI. INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION
WITH LOW LVL THETA-E RDG WARRANTS MENTION OF TSTMS. BY
FRI...DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH SHRTWV LIFTING TOWARD THE WRN LAKES
WILL AGAIN SUPPORT POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL TSTMS.

PRIMARY CONCERN IN SHORT RANGE CONTINUES TO BE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
PASSING NEARBY ON MONDAY AND ITS IMPACT ON PRECIPITATION TYPE AND
TIMING. MORNING H5 ANALYSIS AND CURRENT GOES WV LOOP SHOWS SYSTEM
OF INTEREST SPINNING ACROSS CENTRAL WY WITH UPGLIDING MOISTURE
ENTERING THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. VIS LOOP SHOWS SOME
ASSOCIATED MID-LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE DAKOTAS BUT NO 88D RETURNS AT
PRESENT. ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE OVER CWA NOT ALL THAT DRY AS SOME CU
SEEN AND MORNING RAOBS INDICATED NO REAL DRY AIR INTRUSION AFTER THE
LOW CLOUDS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS FINALLY ERODED. SO DO NOT THINK IT
WILL TAKE LONG TO SATURATE TONIGHT AS MODEL PROGGED PWS ARE IN THE
ORDER OF 0.5 TO 0.7 INCHES AND MIXING RATIOS ON LOW LEVEL THETA
LAYERS OF CLOSE TO FOUR G/KG. HOWEVER FORCING IS LACKING DUE TO
SYSTEM BEING STACKED AND DWINDLING WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE MODEL
SOLUTION. UPPER LEVEL JET REMAINS WELL SOUTH WITH LEFT EXIT
DIFFLUENT REGION AND ASSOCIATED H8-H5 OMEGA PEAKING OVER IA AND FAR
SOUTHERN CWA.
MODELS GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT AS 12Z AND 18Z NAM SOLUTIONS
COMING IN LINE WITH THE GFS IN HAVING THE SYSTEM GLIDE ESE OVER IA.
SOME WIDE HPC SREF SPREADS IN QPF LOCATION AND AMOUNT...BUT
GENERALLY WENT WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS AND LATER ONSET TIME DUE TO NO
REAL AREA OF FOCUS. BUFKIT SNDGS ON THE VARIOUS MODELS INDICATE RA
OR SN POSSIBILITIES. IN FAR WEST WHERE RUC AND NAM INDICATE
OVERNIGHT LLJ OF 50KT...A PROGGED WARM LAYER OF 2-3C IS ADVECTED IN.
SREF DOMINANT PRECIP TYPE DOES INDICATE SOME ZR WITH THIS...SO
THEREFORE HAVE INTRODUCED THE CHC FROM 8Z THROUGH DAWN IN W AND NW
ZONES. PRECIP CHANCES LAST ALL OF MONDAY AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS
SYSTEM PROGGED TO MOVE SLOWLY...WITH BEST CHANCES GENERALLY IN
SOUTHERN HALF OF CWA AND BEFORE 18Z MON. AFTER THAT POINT
ASSOCIATED INVERTED SFC TROUGH PASSES AND DRIER AIR STARTS TO MOVE
IN. PRECIP TYPE COULD SWITCH AROUND A FEW TIMES DURING THE DURATION
OF THIS EVENT DUE TO DIABATIC EFFECTS AND DIURNAL TRENDS...BUT ALL
IN ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE LIGHT AND GENERALLY RAIN OR SNOW WITH MAX
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AT AN INCH.
LOW LEVEL CLOUDS SHOULD STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE SIMILAR TO LAST
SYSTEM. LAZY LOW LEVEL FLOW SHOULD KEEP THEM THROUGH TUES AND
POSSIBILY EVEN INTO TUES NIGHT. STRONG WAA STARTS IN ON WEDS AHEAD
OF NEXT SYSTEM. WITH TEMPS DURING SHORT RANGE MADE ONLY MINOR
TWEAKS...EDGING UP TEMPS A BIT THROUGH MON NIGHT GIVEN MAXS THIS
AFTN.
LONGER TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
THE LATEST ENSEMBLE MEMBERS OFF THE GFS AND EUROPEAN MODELS ARE
SHOWING SIGNS OF DISCONTINUITY IN OVERALL UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER
NORTH AMERICA DURING THE PERIOD...AS THE PATTERN BECOMES MORE
PROGRESSIVE. GFS IS THE MORE AGGRESSOR OF LIFTING SYSTEM INTO THE
GREAT LAKES BY SATURDAY MORNING.
TIMING OF THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE CRITICAL THU AND FRI WITH THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW PROJECTED TO MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS ON THURSDAY. POPS STILL SEEM REASONABLE FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY DUE TO DYNAMICS ALONG WITH INCREASING INSTABLITY AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM. HOWEVER...THE BEST FORCING AND LIFT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR
OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
TEMPS BY THURSDAY ARE EXPECTED TO MODERATE INTO THE 50S THEN MORE
TYPICAL SPRING-LIKE OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

358 AM CST MON MAR 27 2006
.DISCUSSION...
VIGOROUS UPPER DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY TRACKING EASTWARD THIS MORNING
ACROSS NEBRASKA. IN RESPONSE TO THIS FEATURE...AN AREA OF SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS AND PUSHED
INTO MISSOURI. THIS PRECIPITATION WAS FUELED BY MODEST MOISTURE
TRANSPORT/CONVERGENCE ON THE NOSE OF A 55-60 KT LOW LEVEL JET AT 850
MB. IN ADDITION...UPPER DIFFLUENCE AT 250 MB WAS NOTED ON THE
REGIONAL PROFILER NETWORK AS THIS AREA WAS IN THE LEFT FRONT QUAD OF
THE UPPER JET. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE WAS ALSO CENTERED OVER
NEBRASKA WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT STRETCHING SOUTHWARD ACROSS
CENTRAL KANSAS.
PRIMARY SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE RAIN CHANCES AND
TEMPERATURES. HELD ON TO LIKELY POPS FOR THE MORNING HOURS MAINLY
EAST OF HIGHWAY 65..AS THIS AREA WILL STILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF INCREASING MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND 925-850MB THETA-E ADVECTION
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. FURTHER TO THE WEST...TRENDED
POPS DOWNWARD TO LOW END CHANCES ALONG THE KANSAS BORDER AS THE RUC
SHOWS DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN FROM THE WEST SHORTLY AFTER 12Z. ANY
PRECIPITATION TODAY WILL BE SHOWERY IN NATURE WITH ONLY AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE. THE NAM SHOWS SOME WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY
WITH LI VALUES LIFTED FROM 800 MB AROUND -1 THROUGH 18Z. AS FOR
TEMPERATURES...WITH DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN FROM THE WEST...AREAS
ALONG THE KANSAS BORDER SHOULD SEE ENOUGH SUNSHINE TODAY TO REBOUND
INTO THE LOWER 60S. WILL HAVE TO WATCH TEMPS MORE CLOSELY FURTHER
EAST. FOR NOW BANKING ON CLOUD COVER HANGING ON FOR MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD LIKELY KEEP HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW/MID 50S.
TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE A TRANQUIL DAY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR LATE MARCH
NORMALS AS UPPER RIDGING TAKES HOLD IN THE WAKE OF TODAY'S SYSTEM.
BY WEDNESDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS TO THE AREA WHICH WILL LIKELY
ALLOW HIGHS TO CLIMB TO NEAR 70 ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND MUCH OF
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. HAVE SOME SLIGHT AND LOW POPS WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS MOISTURE BEGINS TO RETURN NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE NEXT
UPPER SYSTEM. THE BULK OF THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT FIELDS
KEEP THE BETTER CONVERGENCE TO THE WEST...SO HIGH POPS WEREN'T
WARRANTED FOR THIS PERIOD.
STILL SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE UPPER SYSTEM ENTERING THE
PLAINS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ONE THING FOR CERTAIN IS THAT THE
SYSTEM WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. THE LATEST ECMWF
TAKES THE UPPER LOW ACROSS NEBRASKA TOWARD THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...WHILE THE GFS TRACKS THE SYSTEM ACROSS KANSAS AND NORTHERN
MISSOURI. THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD BRING A GOOD SHOT OF SEVERE
WEATHER TO THE OZARKS REGION...AS 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES INCREASE
TO AROUND 60KTS BY 00Z FRIDAY.

TOWARD THE REGION. THE CWA WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A FLATTEN
UPPER RIDGE PATTERN. WESTELRY FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS WAS BRINGING
MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS...WHILE LOW LEVEL FLOW WAS SLOWLY TRYING
THE MOISTEN THE ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN. AREA RADARS WERE PICKING UP

ANYTHING THERE FOR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WILL KEEP LOW POPS THERE.
.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS

COULD BE ENOUGH ELEVATED INSTABILITY FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AT

(PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...440 AM CST MON MAR 27 2006)
.DISCUSSION...
THE UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY STRETCH OF WEATHER OVER THE REGION
WILL BE COMING TO AN END OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THE UPPER FLOW
PATTERN OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS BECOMES SOMEWHAT MORE ACTIVE AND
DISTURBED.
DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME A RATHER VIGOROUS UPPER ATMOSPHERIC
DISTURBANCE WILL TRANSLATE QUICKLY EAST THROUGH THE MIDWEST AND OHIO
VALLEY. ALMOST ALL OF THE DYNAMIC UPPER FORCING WITH THIS SYSTEM
WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...BUT A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPING WELL SOUTH OF THIS FEATURE (ALONG WITH ITS
ATTENDANT PRECEDING WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT) WILL GET A MOISTENING
AND LIFTING PROCESS GOING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. IN
SHORT...THAT MEANS RAIN...ESPECIALLY LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW
ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR. LOOKS LIKE THIS
PATTERN IS HOLDING WITH THE MOLD OF 'LA NINA' CLIMATOLOGY IN THE
SENSE THAT AREAS NEAR THE COAST UP TO THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR WILL
REMAIN SOUTH OF THE MAIN RAIN PRODUCTION ZONE. ALSO OF PERHAPS A
LITTLE INTEREST IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ELEVATED THUNDEROUS CONVECTION
ACCOMPANYING SHOWERS IN THE ARKLAMISS DELTA REGION TONIGHT AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AND THEN IN MOST AREAS OUTSIDE OF SOUTHEAST MS COUNTIES
LATER ON TOMORROW. INGREDIENTS FOR ANY SEVERE WEATHER LOOK TO BE IN
VERY SHORT SUPPLY...SO LOOK FOR ONLY AN INCREASE IN RAIN RATES IN
AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS (AND NO HAIL OR DAMAGING WINDS). IT IS ALSO
HARD TO SEE HOW RAIN TOTALS WILL BE A PROBLEM OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS
AS ONLY TOTALS OVER AN INCH OR 1.5" (AT MOST) SEEM CONCEIVABLE
DURING THIS TIME (AND THEN ONLY IN IN NORTHWEST OR FAR WESTERN
ZONES).
SHOWERS AND CONVECTION TONIGHT AND TOMORROW SHOULD MAINLY BE
CO-LOCATED WITH A THETA-E RIDGE NOSING NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION
AHEAD OF THE SURFACE FRONT WITH THE SURFACE FRONT ITSELF PROBABLY
NOT OOZING SOUTH INTO THE MY NORTHERN BORDERS UNTIL DAYTIME
TOMORROW. THIS SURFACE FRONT WILL PROBABLY NOT MAKE IT DOWN TO THE
I-20 CORRIDOR BEFORE STALLING AS SOUTHERLY FLOW OFF THE SURFACE
RESPONDS TO A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE COMING TOWARD THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY WEDNESDAY MORNING IN AN INVIGORATED SOUTHERN
STREAM ALOFT. CONFIDENCE WITH PINPOINTING SHOWERS DECREASES SOME
TUESDAY NIGHT IN THIS TRANSITIONAL PERIOD...BUT SHOWERS CANNOT BE
RULED OUT ANYWHERE AT THIS TIME.
BUT...BEFORE ALL THE UNSETTLED WEATHER...AREA RESIDENTS SHOULD ENJOY
A MILDER (ALTHOUGH A BIT MORE CLOUDY) MONDAY IN COMPARISON TO THE
PRIOR SEVERAL DAYS. WENT GENERALLY WITH MAV FOR HIGHS TODAY WHICH
PUTS THE TEMP RANGE GENERALLY FROM THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. I
REMAINED NEAR MAV FOR TEMPS TONIGHT (50 TO 55)...TOMORROW (LOW 60S
TO NEAR 70) AND TOMORROW NIGHT (NEAR 50 TO MID 50S) AS WELL. AS FAR
AS POPS...I DID TRY TO BEAT MAV ON THE HIGH SIDE TONIGHT AND
TOMORROW IN THE "HIGH CONFIDENCE" AREAS OF RAIN MENTIONED...BUT I
GENERALLY REMAINED CLOSE OTHERWISE. THERE IS A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF
SOME SHOWERS GETTING INTO FAR NORTHWEST ZONES BEFORE EVENING...BUT
IF THAT OCCURS IT SHOULD BE IN THE WANING PORTION OF THE AFTERNOON.
/BB/
LONGER TERM...
BOUNDARY STALLS AS WARM FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL ZONES WEDNESDAY.
MOISTURE DEEPENS AND WEAK WAVES SHIFT THROUGH THE FLAT RIDGE IN
PLACE. LITTLE OR NO JET SUPPORT NOTED AND LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS
RELATIVELY WEAK. THE BOUNDARY WASHES OUT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WARMER
TEMPS ON TAP FOR THURSDAY AS LOW LEVEL FLOW INCREASES. WILL SEE
SURFACE DEWPOINTS LIFT INTO THE LOWER 60S BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS
MID/UPPER FLOW BACKS IN RESPONSE TO THE LOW MOVING INTO THE SRN
PLAINS. 25-30KT 850 MB JET INTENSIFIES NEAR 50 KTS THURSDAY NIGHT.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR ALSO INTENSIFIES AS MID/UPPER JETS MOVE INTO PLACE.
BEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE IN PLACE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING BUT 850 MB FLOW HAS ALREADY VEERED TO A MORE WLY
DIRECTION. THE AIR MASS REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE WITH AN 850 MB
THETAE MAX POSITIONED OVER THE AREA. LONGER TERM MODELS
DISAGREE ON SRN EXTENT OF SURFACE LOW TRACK WITH EURO SHIFTING
SURFACE AND UPPER LOW WELL NORTH OF THE REGION. WILL FOLLOW MORE SRN
TRACK FOR NOW.
THE BOUNDARY SHIFTS ACROSS THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND EXITS AREA BY
SUNRISE SATURDAY. BY 12Z SATURDAY NWLY FLOW FORECAST AT LOWER AND
UPPER LEVELS WITH A DRY AIR MASS OVER THE AREA. MORE ZONAL FLOW SETS
UP FOR SUNDAY WITH WEAK WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE FLOW. WILL KEEP
SUNDAY DRY FOR NOW AS MOISTURE RETURN LOOKS DELAYED UNTIL THE
BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. /03/
&&
.AVIATION...
HIGHER CLOUDS WILL FILTER EAST INTO THE ARKLAMISS REGION TODAY AND
DECKS COULD BE BROKEN AT ANY TIME...ESPECIALLY WEST OF I-55. BUT
LOOK FOR CEILINGS TO REMAIN ABOVE 10 KFT IN ALL AREAS OUTSIDE OF
GLH...TVR AND GWO THROUGH 00Z ALTHOUGH POSSIBLY GETTING DOWN TO 5 KT
IN THE HIGHLIGHTED SPOTS BY THAT TIME. SHOWERS SHOULD BEGIN THIS
EVENING AROUND TVR...GLH AND GWO AND THEN SHIFT SOUTH TOWARD THE
I-20 CORRIDOR BEFORE DAWN. SOME MVFR CEILINGS WILL ACCOMPANY SHOWERS
WITH SOME MVFR (POSSIBLY TEMPO IFR) VIS REDUCTIONS POSSIBLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF I-20 LATER TONIGHT BEFORE (OR SOUTH OF) THE AREAS OF
RAIN. /BB/
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
MINIMUM RH VALUES SHOULD BRIEFLY BE DOWN IN THE 20S LATER TODAY IN
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AND POSSIBLY DOWN IN THE 30S AS FAR WEST AS THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY
WITH GUSTS UP TO 15 TO 20 MPH NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN ANY SPOT.
THESE COMBINATIONS DO NOT MEET RED FLAG CRITERIA ANYWHERE...BUT

INTO THE LOWER 60S. WILL HAVE TO WATCH TEMPS MORE CLOSELY FURTHER
EAST. FOR NOW BANKING ON CLOUD COVER HANGING ON FOR MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD LIKELY KEEP HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOW/MID 50S.
TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE A TRANQUIL DAY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR LATE MARCH
NORMALS AS UPPER RIDGING TAKES HOLD IN THE WAKE OF TODAY'S SYSTEM.
BY WEDNESDAY...SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS TO THE AREA WHICH WILL LIKELY
ALLOW HIGHS TO CLIMB TO NEAR 70 ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND MUCH OF
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI. HAVE SOME SLIGHT AND LOW POPS WEDNESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AS MOISTURE BEGINS TO RETURN NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE NEXT
UPPER SYSTEM. THE BULK OF THE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT FIELDS
KEEP THE BETTER CONVERGENCE TO THE WEST...SO HIGH POPS WEREN'T
WARRANTED FOR THIS PERIOD.
STILL SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE UPPER SYSTEM ENTERING THE

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TYPES
FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT.

## Sample Design
- Michael DeBacker
- and Lloyd Morrison
## Important Underlying Themes of Sample Design:
- Ability to make inferences
- Whether or not to stratify
- Co-location/co-visitation
## We can only sample a very small proportion (often <1%) of most natural areas, but:
Our job is to protect, restore, understand, and inform others about the entire area, not just some convenient portion of it.
We need to make scientifically defensible inferences to areas beyond the limited sites we sample.
Statistical, design-based inferences can only be made to areas that have a chance of being included in the sample.

- Statistical, design-based inferences can only be made to areas that have a chance of being included in the sample.
## Stratification
- Stratification is a powerful method of decreasing variance among sample sites, but:
- Strata must be carefully chosen in long-term studies, so criteria for strata do not change.
- Multiple protocols may need to use different criteria for stratification.
- Later addition of protocols may not fit within defined strata.
- In general, stratification is not recommended for long-term studies measuring multiple response variables.
## Co-location (Co-visitation)
- Co-location will provide information on multiple vital signs for the same sites.
- Co-visitation will aid overall sampling efficiency, as multiple vital signs can be sampled at the same time.
## Status of an Overall Sampling Framework for the First Twelve Networks
## Summary of Spatial Designs Utilized by the First Twelve Networks

## Monitoring projects are integrated using an underlying grid for multiple purposes
**Monitoring projects are integrated using an underlying grid for multiple purposes**** **
**Step one: overlay the sample frame with a relatively fine scale grid, the vertices of which create a systematic sample. **
**Notes:**
By sharing a common underlying grid, multiple protocols using different approaches to spatial allocation may maximize co-location of sample sites. Figure 4-6 illustrates a hypothetical example of superimposing several different survey designs on a single systematic grid. (While the study unit in Figure 4-6 is simplified for demonstration purposes, the HTLN faces the real challenge of implementing invasive non-native plant, breeding bird, and vegetation community monitoring simultaneously in member parks.) The example begins by overlaying a relatively fine scale grid (e.g., cell size 100 x 100m) over the study unit (i.e., reference frame). Vertices of the grid form a pool of potential sample points, and those falling outside the reference frame are removed from consideration. For invasive non-native plant species monitoring, the HTLN is developing rapid data collection methods to maximize spatial coverage. In this case, all sample points in the reference frame (i.e., all filled circles) would be utilized in a systematic sample.
Protocols for monitoring breeding birds utilize a systematic survey design, although at a larger spatial scale (400 x 400m). In this example, the initial grid would be subsampled to the desired scale as indicated by blue circles. Initially establishing a relatively fine-scale grid allows
flexibility in scaling up to meet different design requirements.
Finally, vegetation community monitoring methods are time consuming and intensive; therefore, total sample sizes must remain small. Given relatively small sample sizes and the desire to capture heterogeneity in vegetation communities that reflects underlying differences in soil type and aspect, a stratified random sample is drawn. In this example, three sample sites are drawn at random from strata A and B with the number of sites per strata proportionate to the area of the strata, creating equal probability for selection. At points represented by solid red dots, invasive non-native plant species and vegetation community monitoring are co-located.
## Invasive plant monitoring:
**Invasive plant monitoring:**
**- rapid data collection**
**- maximum spatial coverage**
**- all points in the reference frame are sampled**** **
- Invasive plant species (INP) sample site
## Protocols for monitoring breeding birds utilize a systematic survey design at a larger spatial scale. In this example, the initial grid would be sub-sampled to the desired scale as indicated by blue circles.

## For vegetation community monitoring, the grid vertices form a pool of potential sample sites from which a stratified random sample is drawn.

**Stage one - a systematic grid, 20 x 20 km**
**Stage two – a 25 point “mini grid,” 500 x 500 m**
## Benefits of the two-stage systematic grid design:
**effectively samples both regional and meso-scale gradients in resource conditions**
**relies on a sampling frame that is not tied to any preconceived **
** ****notions of how changes in the ecosystem will occur**
**concentrates landscape-scale sampling effort within study areas**
**provides a multiple-scale sampling frame that allows for **
** “****nesting” of monitoring efforts that occur at different spatial scales or at different levels of intensity**
**- access cost per data point is lower **
**- fewer trips into wilderness are required per sample**
**if funding is interrupted prior to completion of the full park-wide sample, partial data set remains a valid network of monitoring sites with interpretable data – and a subset of sites may be continued into the future**

1. **[Requirements for ACD and Summary of
Accomplishments]{.smallcaps}**
The Anti-Coincidence Detector (ACD) is designed to reject the majority
of charged particles, which are the background for any gamma-ray
experiments. The ACD of EGRET has suffered from the self-veto effect
when the products of the high energy photon interactions in the
instrument's calorimeter cause a veto signal in ACD (backsplash effect),
resulting in the significant degradation of the efficiency for high
energy (\> 5 GeV) gamma rays. To avoid this effect, the ACD for GLAST is
designed to be subdivided into many scintillating tiles with
wave-shifting fiber readout.
In GLAST, the requirements for background rejection and rate control are
system-wide requirements and all subsystems play a role. In determining
the requirements for the ACD, we need to understand the various fluxes
involved and the functional approach to triggering GLAST. We pointed out
that for studies of photons, eliminating the electron background, not
the proton background, is the dominant and driving requirement for the
ACD-tracker combination because the calorimeter cannot distinguish
between them. The scientific requirement that drives the instrumental
background rejection requirement is the study of the diffuse
high-latitude background. We need to separate the contribution from
point sources and find out if there is any residual diffuse emission. We
require that the background due to charged particles be less than 10% of
this signal.
We spent considerable effort in validating the background intensities
(Ormes et al. 1999) and including the effects of albedo fluxes from the
atmosphere. We set the GLAST system level design requirements for the
misidentification of charged cosmic rays to be 3×10^-5^ or a detection
efficiency of 0.99997. The electron component drives the requirement for
ACD to have **0.9997 efficiency.** We can expect one \"9" from the top
tracker layer to meet our requirement.
The ACD subsystem has had modest funding during the technology
development phase. This decision was based on the minimal need for
development work in this area. Nevertheless, we have accomplished a
number of things during this technology development phase.
- Analyzed 1997 beam test data and determined the relationship of
backsplash signals to ACD panel size, distance from calorimeter,
electronics threshold, and energy dependence of response so that
flight design could be specified.
- Exposed the paddles built for the 1997 beam test to a higher energy
beam at CERN and measured backsplash at higher energies up to 300
GeV.
- Developed specifications for flight unit electronics.
- Built 13 paddle ACD units for the beam test engineering model (BTEM)
with electronics fabricated to flight-like specifications built with
commercial parts.
- Delivered BTEM/ACD to SLAC and supported beam test. All electronics
and hardware functioned as specified and preliminary results are
included with this report.
- Conducted simulations of instrument response to determine optimal
arrangement and sizing of ACD tiles to minimize background, enable
ACD to be included into trigger and determined its impact on trigger
rates.
- Conducted simulations of the rejection of electrons by the ACD,
especially with respect to the objective of searching for gamma-ray
lines using events whose trajectory intercepts a large path length
in the calorimeter. These events will have the best energy
resolution for energies \> 50 GeV where lines are most likely to be
found.
- Based on the above, arrived at a configuration for the flight unit
ACD, developed resource requirements (e.g. volume, mass, power,
cost) to build it, and determined its power to reject background and
control event rates.
### 1.2 Flight Anticoincidence Detector (ACD) Development Plan
The ACD will be designed, fabricated and tested at GSFC. It is the only
GLAST subsystem that is not modular, so it will be delivered to SLAC for
integration as a unit. Table 1.1 lists the parts and materials needed in
its construction. The assembly procedure is outlined below, based on
methods already used for fabrication of the ACD for the upcoming beam
test:
- Complete the design of ACD within allocated mass (175kg + 54 kg
reserve) and electrical power (29W + 26W reserve) budgets.
- Fabricate support structure, including attachment points for
scintillators and phototubes (PMT). Because the ACD is a large
structure, a full-scale mechanical model will be constructed and
tested at GSFC (vibration and acoustics).
```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
- Purchase scintillator tiles with grooves. Bond waveshifting fibers
into grooves and gather into bundles for attachment to PMT. Wrap
tiles and fibers with Tyvek and light barrier, then attach fibers to
PMT interface. Connect PMT power and signal cables to prototype
power converters and electronics. Test all assemblies using
ground-level cosmic rays and laboratory sources
- Develop and test ASIC for front end electronics, FPGA for digital
logic.
- Attach tile/fiber/PMT assemblies to the support structure, using
Velcro and carbon fiber ribbons. Wire cable harness for all PMTs to
power supplies/electronics. Attach thermal blanket/micrometeoroid
shield. Conduct full performance test before delivery to SLAC, using
sources and cosmic rays.
**[1.3. ACD Development Status]{.smallcaps}**
***1.3.1 ACD Status/Description***
A scaled-down version of the flight ACD was developed and delivered
according to schedule to the SLAC facilities for the December 1999
beam-test. The delivery of the beam-test ACD was the culmination of an
integrated development plan that took the results of the simulations and
trade studies performed in the basic period of the contract, plus our
previous experience with charged particle and gamma-ray detectors, to
develop our baseline ACD design concept. The main components (detector,
mechanical, electrical, and software) of the beam-test ACD were
conducted in parallel. The ACD components were integrated and tested
together as a complete subsystem in a bench/laboratory environment
before delivery to SLAC. Functional and performance/characterization
tests of the ACD were performed during this integration and test period.
The beam-test ACD consists of the main ACD "hat" structure and the ACD
Electronics Cardcage assembly. The beam-test ACD "hat" was designed to
fit over the one-tower beam-test prototype implementation of the
Tracker/Calorimeter assembly. The ACD electronics box was designed to be
mounted external to the ACD "hat" and to be connected via a short
electrical harness to the detectors and signal processing electronics
located inside the ACD "hat". Fig.1 has pictures of the completed
system; a) shows the assembled "hat", b) is a schematic view of ACD, and
c) is a photo of one electronic board. A more detailed description of
the beam-test implementation follows.
![](media/image1.jpeg){width="1.8534722222222222in" height="2.3in"}
In order to assist the flight design, the beam-test design has a
combination of flight-like details that will be used to mimic as close
as possible the proposed flight design and different experimental
configurations. That will explore different detailed implementation
options. This includes selecting and using flight qualified materials,
mounting tiles that closely resemble the expected flight configuration,
and placing PMTs under the tiles and elsewhere to determine where best
to place them for flight.
***1.3.1.1. ACD Detector
Design/Development***![](media/image4.jpeg){width="3.6131944444444444in"
height="1.9930555555555556in"}
The beam-test ACD used plastic scintillator tiles as the charged
particle detector for the subsystem. Each tile is read out using a set
of wave-shifting fibers (embedded into the tiles) that are connected to
a Photo-Multiplier Tube (PMT). A total of 12 scintillator tiles, four on
the top and 2 on each side, were mounted to the main mechanical
structure (hat) of the ACD. The PMTs of the side tiles are located
underneath the tiles, while the PMTs for the top tiles are located
underneath the upper side tile (fig.1b).
The eight side tiles were all designed and manufactured as flat tiles,
while the four tiles on the top were designed and manufactured with a
bend/curve. The curved tiles allow us to \"seal\" the corners of the
detector against charged particle leakage. The manufacturing of
bent/curved tiles for this application was new, therefore the tiles were
procured as early as possible to minimize unforeseen problems with this
new process. The company Bicron, which has extensive experience
producing plastic scintillators of the type we needed, manufactured the
tiles. Bicron also machined the grooves for the wave-shifting fibers
into the tiles. This decision helped to save us time and money. All the
work with the tiles was done by one company, minimizing the problems and
paperwork. In addition, this provided the additional benefits of having
the machining done by a company that had extensive experience machining
plastic scintillator, thus ensuring that our cleanliness and polish
requirements would be met. The flat, grooved tiles were delivered
without much problems in the beginning of June 1999, however, Bicron did
encounter some difficulties manufacturing the bent, curved tiles. The
problems were solved and they were delivered at the end of July 1999,
about 2 months late. This did not affect the ACD schedule due to the
early procurement of the tiles. Assembly of the flat tiles with the
fibers and PMTs proceeded in parallel.
The PMTs and the wave-shifting fibers were all received by the end of
March 1999. The PMT used for the beam-test was the Hamamatsu R-1635. All
PMTs were tested and characterized upon their arrival.
The assembly of the tile/fiber/PMT subassemblies began once the flat
tiles were delivered in June 1999. All tiles had their wave-shifting
fibers glued into their grooves and each tile was wrapped with two
layers of light-reflecting TYVEC paper, and one layer of black paper
(for light isolation). The PMT was then attached to the tile/fiber
subassembly (Fig.2). All tile/fiber/PMT subassemblies were completed by
the beginning of September and each subassembly was tested initially
with laboratory test equipment. All subassemblies were subsequently
tested and characterized with one channel of the beam-test
Front-End-Electronics (FEE) boards to determine their effective gain,
efficiency, noise and uniformity of response.
***1.3.1.2. ACD Mechanical Design/Development***
A mechanical subassembly was designed and developed to allow mounting of
all tile/fiber/PMT subassemblies and to permit it to fit snugly over the
top of the tracker/calorimeter subsystems. The beam-test mechanical
subassembly does not extend below the Simulated Grid Top; the ACD covers
the majority of the tracker portion of the tower only. The mechanical
subassembly consists of two main components: the support structure and
the channel frame assembly.
The mechanical support structure is made out of 1/16" thick aluminum. It
consists of a 380mm by 380mm by 540mm(h) box that was manufactured using
sheet metal construction methods and whose surfaces were black anodized.
The mechanical channel frame assembly was machined out of a single piece
of aluminum and was also black anodized. The channel frame assembly
attaches to the bottom of the support structure and contains helicoil
inserts that allow it to be attached via bolts to the designated
interface points of the beam-test simulated grid top.
The mechanical interfaces between the ACD and the beam-test tower were
established early in the development, before initiating the detailed
design of the ACD mechanical components. Interface drawings were
exchanged, reviewed and approved between GSFC and SLAC. A mechanical
template with the locations of the bolt holes was sent to SLAC before
the delivery of the ACD to ensure the interfaces were correct. Once the
interfaces and mechanical requirements had been finalized, the detailed
design and manufacturing of the mechanical components began. The
mechanical components were completed on schedule at the end of April
1999. At this point they were delivered for integration and mounting of
the detectors and "hat" electronics. The support structure was used for
optimum layout of the tiles/fibers/PMTs and the electrical harnesses.
The channel frame assembly was used to determine the placement of all
Pre-Amp printed circuit boards (PCBs), connectors, trim potentiometers,
and internal harnesses located inside the channel. Once the location of
all these channel components had been established, holes and cutouts
were made to the channel frame assembly to allow placement of all
connectors and trim-potentiometers.
***1.3.1.3. ACD Electronics Design/Development***
The ACD beam-test electronics consists of two main sections: the main
FEE boards and the Pre-Amp boards. The Pre-Amp boards are a set of
twelve small PCBs that fit into the channel frame assembly and interface
directly with each of the twelve PMTs located underneath the plastic
scintillator tiles. An electrical harness connects the preamplifier
boards directly to the signal processing circuits on the main FEE
boards. The electrical harness also provides the ACD "hat" with the high
voltage needed for the PMTs and the power necessary for all internal
"hat" electronics.
The main FEE boards are located inside a VME cardcage that is mounted
externally to the beam-test prototype tower. Each FEE board contains
four analog signal processing channels that allow it to process the
signals from 4 separate PMT/Pre-Amps. Each analog processing chain
contains two main discriminator circuits (one that corresponds to
minimum ionizing particle (*mip*) and the other for heavy ions) and a
Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) circuit. In addition, each FEE board is
controlled by one Atmel Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) which
contains all the digital control logic needed to control each analog
channel individually and provides the necessary interface logic and
protocol needed to communicate with the TEM-ACD board. Various
Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs) are used in each analog channel for
programmable threshold set points and programmable high voltage
settings. These DACs are controlled via the FPGA and can be reprogrammed
by sending a command to the FEE board via the TEM-ACD board. Analog and
digital housekeeping circuits are also present on each FEE board to
allow monitoring of key channel and board parameters (Fig.1c).
A common design and PCB layout was used for all FEE boards. All the
boards are identical except for special jumper settings used to identify
each board. This modular PCB design proved advantageous because it
provided cost and times savings due to the fact that only one PCB layout
was necessary. In addition it facilitated testing because the same test
procedure used to test the first board was used to test each additional
board. The use of the Atmel FPGA also proved to be beneficial due to its
reprogrammable nature, which allowed us to make logic modifications to
the board after the FPGA had been soldered onto the board. Seven FEE
boards were manufactured and populated allowing us to process and
control not only the 12 detectors present on the ACD "hat" but also
various stand-alone detector subassemblies used for testing purposes
during the beam runs.
The FEE boards were tested using the TEM-ACD subsystem delivered to GSFC
at the end of June 1999. Special software was developed to run with the
Vx-Works operating system used by the TEM-ACD board and the ground
station computers. The latter were used to send commands and collect all
science and housekeeping date from the beam-test ACD electronics.
Integration and testing of the first FEE board with the TEM-ACD
subsystem took place during the months of July and August. This included
functional testing of the complete FEE board in addition to
characterization and performance tests for each analog channel of the
board. The integration and testing of the remaining 6 FEE boards
occurred during the months of September and October. During this time an
easier-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) software was developed to
send commands and view histograms of the PHA data.
The FEE electronics were integrated to the completed ACD "hat" assembly
and a complete end-to-end test, which also included the TEM-ACD board
and the ground station computers took place during the month of November
1999. At this point a new, updated TEM-ACD board was delivered to GSFC.
New electrical harnesses were fabricated to accommodate the new MDM
connectors of the updated TEM-ACD board. New software was generated to
interface and control the additional features of the new TEM-ACD board.
The board was subsequently integrated and tested with the complete ACD
subsystem at this time.
**[1.4. Summary of Measurements and Laboratory
Developments]{.smallcaps}**
***[1.4.1 Measurements Using Breadboard Designs]{.smallcaps}***
We have spent considerable time analyzing and understanding the results
of the 1997 SLAC beam test, verifying the efficiency measurements in the
laboratory and extending the backsplash measurements to the top of the
GLAST energy range.
The goals of these tests were the following:
- verification of the choice of wave shifting fibers for light
collection
- study of angular distribution and energy spectrum of backsplash
- measurement of the ACD efficiency for electrons (minimum ionizing
particles)
- test use of 2 layers
- validation of extrapolation of backsplash to higher energies
Two sets of scintillating paddles read out by waveshifting fibers were
designed and built for the 1997 SLAC beam test. The results and
detectors are described in detail elsewhere (Atwood et al. 2000). The
first module was placed on the side of the tracker/calorimeter tower,
and the second one upstream of the tower in the beam. By identifying the
incident particles, carefully counting them and then examining those
detector paddles outside of the beam, we could measure detector
efficiency, the probability of an event of given energy producing a
backsplash signal and the backsplash energy deposited. Efficiency
measurements were also carried out in the laboratory using cosmic ray
mouns. Monte Carlo GEANT codes and GLASTSIM runs were created and
compared for the beam test configuration and results.
To extend the backsplash measurements the instrumental hardware used in
SLAC'97 beam test was refurbished and exposed in the proton/electron
beam at CERN in June, 1999. The approach and experimental setup were
very similar to the SLAC'97 beam test.
![](media/image7.wmf){width="1.1875in" height="2.6in"}
a) **Backsplash measurements:** A high energy (\> 5 GeV)
photon/electron initiated shower in a calorimeter produces a large
number of soft photons some of which may penetrate through the
calorimeter and other material and produce signals in the
anticoincidence detector through the Compton scattering. For EGRET
this effect resulted in \~50% efficiency degradation at 10 GeV,
relatively to 1 GeV. The experimental setup for the measurement of
backsplash from the test calorimeter at SLAC (\'97) is shown in
Fig. 3. The measured fraction of events accompanied by backsplash
above 0.2× mip (energy loss of a minimum ionizing particle) is shown
in Fig. 4 for different direction on the scintillating tile, and for
energy of photons of 20 GeV. A similar setup was used at CERN in the
summer of 1999. The fraction of events with backsplash above
different discriminator thresholds for the energy range from SLAC
energies (5 GeV) to CERN energies (300 GeV) are presented in Fig.
5.![](media/image8.png){width="3.0743055555555556in"
height="2.3381944444444445in"}
b) **Efficiency:** The measured efficiency of electron detection as a
function of discriminator threshold (in the units of mean *mip*
energy loss) is shown in Fig. 6. It was measured using both the
electron beam at SLAC (filled circles) and in the laboratory using
cosmic ray muons (open circles). Unidentified background in the beam
could have degraded the measured efficiency, so we believe that the
presented values of the efficiency are conservative. They agree with
estimates based on photoelectron statistics and indicate the
detection of 30 photoelectrons for a minimum ionizing particle (mip)
traversing the detector with normal incidence. These measurements
are consistent with the pulse height distribution widths made with
the BTEM paddles built this year.
c) **Configuration studies**: Various investigations were also
conducted to study and determine the most effective way to collect
the light from the scintillator tiles. Wave-shifting bars (WSB) and
direct-coupled PMTs were considered as alternatives to the baselined
wave-shifting fibers (WSF). Laboratory tests were conducted to
compare their light collection responses. The test results conclude
that the WSF provide much better uniformity of response and that it
is still the best choice. Laboratory tests were also conducted to
measure the WSF readout sensitivity area. These tests were in
support of a concept of segmenting the ACD based on how groups of
fiber are bundled instead of physically having separate ACD tiles.
The results show that concept would not work because the fibers are
sensitive to a distance of up to 10-15 cm from their edge.
![](media/image9.wmf){width="1.9847222222222223in" height="3.775in"}
As a result of this work we determined that:
a) An efficiency of more than 0.9995 for single charged minimum
ionizing particles (mip) is achievable without problems, with
discriminator setting of \>15-20% of a mip. This discriminator
threshold avoids any problems from noise and reduces the backsplash
effect.
b) The angular distribution of backsplash has a broad minimum of ±60^o^
around backward direction, in agreement with the models for
electromagnetic shower development in high Z (atomic number)
materials.
c) GEANT and GLASTSIM simulations, performed for the beam test
configuration, predict less backsplash than measured in beam test.
We have used the beam test results to make probabilities estimates
of self-veto. We determined that additional measurements at higher
energy are needed for the self-veto prediction at energies up to 300
GeV.
d) The two layer design gave a factor of only 2-3 reduction in the
self-veto. We determined that a single layer is adequate and optimal
because the much more complicated 2-layer design would require
significant additional mass and budget.
e) These data allowed us to determine an empirical formula to calculate
the backsplash above a given discriminator threshold in a tile of
any area placed at different distances from the calorimeter for the
given incident photon/electron energy and in various orientations.
We have sized the ACD tiles on the top of the GLAST tracker to be
1000 cm^2^ so that the relative efficiency for this instrument will
be degraded by no more than 20% at 300 GeV, the highest energy
accessible to GLAST, as per specification (Fig. 7).
***1.4.2 1999 SLAC beam test.***
The major effort of the past year has been the development of a higher
fidelity ACD that can simulate flight like performance and test the
design concepts. The concepts were developed as described in the
previous section. They have been implemented for the 1999 beam test
unit, known as the GLAST BTEM. The goals for the ACD portion of the
technology development effort were:![](media/image12.wmf){width="3.2in"
height="3.0in"}
Primary goals:
a) verify ACD design -- physics, mechanics, electronics
b) verify simulations of the ACD design -- efficiency, leakage,
backsplash avoidance
c) test and validate DAQ interface design concepts
> Secondary goals:
a) study possible high-voltage electromagnetic interference with other
components
b) study bending, routing, and mounting of wave-shifting fibers
c) test attachment of scintillators to structure
d) test methods of building light-tight housings
Knowing that we wish to validate the performance of a GLAST tower and
DAQ on a balloon flight, we designed the BTEM/ACD so that it could be
flown on a balloon with minimum modification. The design concept and a
photo of the BTEM/ACD before integration to the remainder of the system
was shown earlier in Fig.
1.![](media/image13.jpeg){width="2.7631944444444443in"
height="2.303472222222222in"}
The BTEM/ACD design can be summarized as follows
a) ACD is a separate unit (aka a "hat") that covers the tracker part of
the tower.
b) All scintillating tiles (12 in total) are viewed by Hamamatsu R1635
phototubes through multicladding BC-91MC wave-shifting fibers.
c) Top ACD is divided into four tiles with some gaps in between with
the goal to study the efficiency degradation around possible gaps in
real design; these top scintillators are bent with embedded fibers
solving the problem of using the ACD to "seal" the corners of GLAST
against charged particles.
d) Some PMTs are hidden under side scintillators, others are not so
that the impact of cascades from the calorimeter hitting the PMTs
can be evaluated.
e) Lower side tiles have a curved fiber groove pattern designed to
minimize the distance to the PMT (Fig. 8). This is to test the
design for flight when we will have very limited space for the
fibers and PMT accommodation on the bottom of ACD.
![](media/image14.wmf){width="2.9in" height="2.775in"}Preliminary tests
showed that all the tiles worked as expected. Fig.9 presents the data
collected in 5 GeV electron run: the left upper panel shows the ACD
pulse-height vs. the calorimeter summed pulse-height. Events with 1, 2,
3 and 4 particles are clearly separated. The ACD data applying
calorimeter selections are shown in right upper panel (1-particle events
are selected), in left lower panel (2-particle events) and in right
lower panel (3 particle events). Variation of the resolution with signal
obtained is consistent with about 36 photoelectrons, indicating the
expected improvement in light collection over the earlier units.
Detailed analysis of the collected experimental data is in process.
***1.4.3 Flight ACD trade study and design.***
Combining the extensive Monte Carlo simulations and and the beam and
laboratory test results completed during this period allowed us to
define the flight unit ACD specifications and requirements. Most of the
simulations have to do with the overall configuration of the plastic
scintillator tiles. Some of the simulations/investigations and their
results are summarized below:
- [ACD tile area required]{.underline} : **\~1000cm^2^** (On top. For
the sides, specification varies with distance of tile from
calorimeter and is science driven.)
- [1 tile layer vs. 2 tile layers (on top)]{.underline} : **1 Layer is
Acceptable** (Charged particle detector efficiency requirement can
be met with only 1 layer and certain gap size between adjacent
tiles)
- [Gap Width]{.underline} : \<**2mm gap, overlap of tiles is
desirable** (Simulations show that the efficiency requirements are
marginally met for this gap width and provide a conservative number
for fabrication of the "hat".)
- [Tile gap alignment with respect to Towers]{.underline} :
**Misalignment recommended** (Simulations have shown that
misaligning the tile gaps with the tower gaps improves the leakage
performance of the ACD -- from \<10^-2^ to \<10^-3^)
- [Importance of Efficiency and Leakage Requirements]{.underline} :
**\<10^-3^ required** (Simulations and investigations have shown
that additional factor of ten needed to reject electrons can be
obtained by combining the ACD information with tracker information.)
The simulation and modeling effort will continue to study the design
margin and different failure modes of the present design configuration
and to see if a less conservative design can still meet background
rejection requirements.
**These studies and measurements combined with the scientific goals for
GLAST and the background rejection requirements demonstrate that the
following design specifications for the GLAST ACD can be met:**
a) ACD must be \>0.9997 efficient to the singly charged minimum
ionizing particles and have leakage \< 3×10^-4^. This drives the
requirement for photoelectrons from the tile and its light
collecting system, the thickness of scintillator, the fiber
frequency and placement, and uniformity of response.
b) Efficiency degradation due to backsplash-caused self-veto should be
not more than 20% over the entire energy range up to 300 GeV. If
this requirement is met at 300 GeV, it can be met at all lower
energies.
c) Redundancy needs to be carefully considered. All critical elements
are currently designed to be redundant. The failure of a single tile
would cause 10-15% increase in the trigger rate after application of
the ACD.
d) Optimized footprint of GLAST dictates very limited room for the ACD
on the sides; design studies and laboratory models show that this
can be less than 5cm (excluding thermal blanket).
e) Resistance of the ACD to accidental puncture by a micrometeoroid
requires each tile to be independently enclosed and light tight. The
possibility to do this is an important motivation for our choice of
the tiling structure of the ACD.
f) Unique possibility to detect high energy gamma-ray lines, possibly
originating from dark matter annihilation, would be improved if we
use off-angles events with long paths in the calorimeter and
consequently better energy resolution. These trajectories typically
have shorter paths from ACD to the calorimeter. We have set the
sizes of the tiles on the tracker sides to maintain the self-veto at
the level of \<20% at 300 GeV.
We meet these requirements with the design shown in Fig. 10. It is a
single layered ACD with a total of 145 separate tiles. Each tile is
viewed by 2 redundant PMT through two separate wave-shifting fibers
sets. All tiles are overlapped to eliminate the gaps between them. The
goal is to seal all gaps by bending tiles at the corners (a capability
proven during the fabrication of the BTEM/ACD) and by overlapping tiles.
In the process of conducting these tests and developing the BTEM/ACD, we
have developed a set of electronics specifications for the flight unit.
They are presented in DRAFT form in Appendix.

# [Appendix A.I: ACD Electronics Requirements]{.smallcaps}
## *1.2.1 Purpose of the ACD Electronics*
### 1.2.1.1 Primary --
The primary function of the GLAST ACD electronics is to deliver a logic
signal to the data acquisition system (DAQ) when a minimum ionizing
particle (MIP) hits one of the scintillator tiles.
## 1.2.1.2 Secondary (must not interfere with primary function) --
The secondary function of the electronics is to deliver a logic signal
to the DAQ when a highly-ionizing particle (Carbon, Nitrogen, or Oxygen
nucleus) hits one of the scintillator tiles.
**1.2.1.3 Tertiary (must not interfere with other functions) --**
The third function of the electronics is to deliver a pulse height
analysis (PHA) signal to the DAQ for each tile with a MIP signal, upon
receipt of a Level 1 Trigger (L1T) signal from the DAQ.
## *1.2.2 Background Information*
The ACD signals are generated as follows:
A MIP hitting a 1 cm thick plastic scintillator tile deposits \~2 MeV,
which appears in the form of optical light (\~21,000 photons with peak
wavelength 425 nm).
The light is absorbed by wavelength-shifting fibers embedded in the
scintillator and then re-radiated at a wavelength of 490 nm.
A fraction of this light is trapped in the fibers and carried by total
internal reflection to a photomultiplier tube (PMT).
The photocathode converts the light to electrons, \~35 electrons for a
MIP.
With a gain of 1 x 10^6^, the phototube produces 35 x 10^6^ electrons in
a short pulse (\< 10 ns). This is equivalent to about 6 picoCoulombs
(pC). Averaged over 10 ns, this is 0.6 milliAmps (mA), which produces a
signal of 30 milliVolts (mV) in a 50Ω resistance.
Typical rate of MIPs in each of the scintillator tiles is 1 KHz.
## *Descriptions of Functional Elements*
##
## 1.2.3.1 Preamplifier
The PMT signal is used for three different functions. The preamplifier
converts the charge signal to a voltage signal that is easily divided
for the three paths. It reduces the capacitive loading on the PMT.
Output: voltage proportional to input charge; voltage range as needed
for discriminators and PHA; width and timing jitter as needed to meet
overall timing requirement.
## 1.2.3.2 VETO Circuit for MIPs -- Primary Function of ACD
This is the primary function of the ACD, allowing veto of incident
charged particles.
### Discriminator
Input: voltage signal from preamplifier
Outputs: (1) logic signal, 0-5V; width \<50 ns; latency and timing
jitter to meet overall trigger timing requirement. For test purposes,
the signal width can be longer, but the beam test, balloon flight, and
flight versions should all have short signals.
**FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)**
All discriminator signals feed into one FPGA in the single ACD
electronics box.
Input: 0-5V logic signal from discriminator
L1T Logic: FPGA forms logic signals for "tower" based on MIPs seen in
tiles nearest each tower.
L1T Output: one VETO logic signal sent by hard wire to each tower if a
MIP is seen in a tile associated with that tower.
Timing: the VETO logic signal for the L1T must arrive at the tower TEM
no more than TBD nsec after the initial MIP passage. The nominal value
for this has been carried as 110 nsec, as follows:
Scintillator response 2 nsec
Waveshifter fibers 12
Phototube 9
Preamp/discrim/FPGA 80
Cable propagation 7
The requirement is that the VETO signal arrive before the L1T from the
tracker or calorimeter. The minimum time for these the tracker or
calorimeter signals has not yet been defined. We need to know if this
timing requirement produces a significant impact on the power of the
electronics, compared to a value of 200 nsec or more.
The VETO signal should not arrive at the tower TEM less than TBD nsec
after the initial MIP passage. The current value for this is 50 nsec. We
may want to tighten up this range of timing values for the flight unit.
Level 2 and 3 Trigger (L2T and L3T) VETO signal
Logic: the FPGA passes the MIP signals for each tile to the DAQ after
receipt of a L1T signal.
## 1.2.3.3 HIREQ Circuit for High-Ionizing Particles (CNO Nuclei) -- Secondary Function of the ACD Electronics
This signal provides a trigger to the calorimeter when a heavy nucleus
has hit, allowing calibration of the calorimeter.
### Discriminator
Input: voltage signal from preamplifier
Output: logic signal, 0-5V; width \<50 ns; timing to meet overall
trigger timing requirement.
**FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)**
HIREQ Trigger signal Logic: FPGA forms logic signals for "tower" based
on High-Ionizing signals seen in tiles nearest each tower.
Output: one HIREQ logic signal sent by hard wire to each tower if a
High-Ionizing signal is seen in a tile associated with that tower.
Timing:
The requirement is that the HIREQ signal arrive before the calorimeter
signal is formed.
Logic: the FPGA passes the HIREQ signals for each tile to the DAQ after
receipt of a L1T signal.
## 1.2.3.4 Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) -- Tertiary Function of the ACD Electronics
Rationale -- this signal provides diagnostic information about the
operation of the ACD.
### Peak Shaper
Input: voltage signal from preamplifier
Output: shaped voltage signal, with height proportional to peak of input
signal voltage.
### Pulse Height Analyzer (Analog to Digital Converter, ADC)
Input: shaped voltage signal from peak shaper
Trigger to digitize signal: MIP signal from L1T discriminator or L1T
from DAQ (TBD which)
Output: digitized pulse height value (channel)
**FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array)**
All digital signals feed through one FPGA in the single ACD electronics
box. This is a different FPGA from the one that handles the trigger
signals.
Input: digitized PHA value
L1T trigger
Logic: FPGA formats PHA values for a given L1T
Output: PHA values transferred to DAQ by IDB
Timing: time tag or other signal needed in order to identify the event.
## 1.2.3.5 Other Functions of the ACD Electronics
### Commands
High voltage for PMTs -- format TBD
Threshold setting for VETO discriminator. A Digital to Analog Converter
(DAC) is needed.
Threshold setting for HIREQ discriminator. A Digital to Analog Converter
(DAC) is needed.
Gain setting for PHA -- if needed?

<h3>Store 4759</h3>
<p>Yes we have a 36x36 store !!!. The intial lumi was 29.35e30...not super-duper, but a decent value. Shot set up was originally delayed when they discovered a power-supply needed to be swapped. However after scraping the Tev losses looked very good; all below 1 KHz.</p>
<p>Now some things which are curious. TevMon shows <em>warm</em> for MEAN LOSTP and MEAN AGIGI2. Mean LOSTP is 497Hz and Mean AGIGI2 is -0.03. The Mean AGIGI2 could be warm since it may not be reporting ???...that's the only explanation I can think for it to report a negative value. But I do not understand why LOSTP is warm. We need to understand these two before we go into serious silicon data taking.</p>
<!-- Author: Ankush -->
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 00;22;54 comment by...Ankush -->
<p>Steve rang up the MCR and found out AGIGI2 is not working. So NO SILICON until this is up and running!!</p>
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 00;55;06 comment by...Ankush -->
<p>I restarted TevMon to see if that would fix the pink LOSTP. However it is still pink...I do not understand why this is so...</p>
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 08:35:28 2006 -->
<pre>I was paged because new shift crew didn't know what to do about pink (warning) state of TevMon. It turns out that LOSTP and AGIGI2 are pink, they have the same funny values (LOSTP=533, AGIGI2=-0.03) as it was noticed earlier by Ankush. It also appeared that ACEs were not running the TevMon page (global page with all params), so they didn't know what was going on. I had to explain them that TevMon should be running all the time and they should pay attention what parameters are not green. </pre>

<h3>COT Primary Vertex Positions and Slopes</h3>
I have compared the COT vertex positions and slopes of the current run with an old run from February. The results can be found in the

<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 11:44:02 2006 -->
<h3>TevMon State</h3>
After digging through some source code we discovered the reason why MEAN LOSTP is still pink in TevMon while the losses are reasonable (300-500 Hz). The reason is that the status for LOSTP changes to "Warning" if C:B0PLOS (sum of bunch-by-bunch losses) is below 20. We have checked that this is indeed the case now. We will ask Rick Tesarek about this reading.
<p>
In other notes, Randy (Thurman-Keup?) has started to work on calibrating AGIGI2, so hopefully, this warning will vanish soon.
<!-- Author: Ankush & Ulrich -->
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 12;20;51 comment by...Ankush -->
<p>Just heard AGIGI2 has just been calibrated. So it should be "good to go" for the next store...</p>
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 22;00;34 comment by...Ankush -->
<p>In the end, Koji was the one responsible for the B0PLOS counter. He went in to fix it. He discovered a clock card they were using had goen bad. He swapped in a new one and that fixed B0PLOS straight away. It started giving sensible values and the pink LOSTP in TevMon went away.</p>

<h3>Cooling Trip</h3>
Bill Noe and I were trying to understand how the PID loops work which regulate the electric bypass valves on the SVX and ISL chillers. In the course of doing so, we tripped SVX and L00 on overpressure in the supply line. The silicon is still off, and everything recovered fine.
<!-- Author: Ulrich -->
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 12:51:56 2006 -->
<h4>PID Loops</h4>
Bill and I are confused about the way the PID (proportional-integral-differential) loops for the chiller bypass valves work. The process variable is the supply pressure. To regulate this variable against a set point, an e-valve is opened/closed. This is done to have kind of a buffer between the pressure delivered by the chiller and the cooling system.
<p>
The SVX loop is current doing what we want, but we do not understand why. The current pressure is at 26 psi, and the set point is at 30 psi. To get the pressure up to the set point, the bypass should be closed, right? Wrong, the valve is open at 36%.
The ISL loop has a set point of 31.1 psi and runs at 23-24 psi. The e-valve is fully closed all the time. Weird.

<h3>Tev work done so far and plans for the next store</h3>
<p>The Tev has done the following:
<ul>
<li>AGIGI2 has now been calibrated. So it should be running for the next store.</li>
<li>Tev have worked on abort timinig and position.</li>
</ul>
Both of these are nice to hear.</p>
<p>For the end of this store, they want to do:
<ul>
<li>2 hours of separator scans</li>
<li>check the A48 collimator position</li>
</ul>
Then they plan to end the store via the "Big Red Abort Button". If this drops the beam permit, then we should check our BLMs and see how clean it is.</p>
<p>Then we should expect shot setup around 4-5pm. Then Ulrich and I will have to decide if we are going to put silicon in for a few hours in the middle of the store.</p>

<h4>Resin exchange</h4>
The cryo techs have exchanged resin two weeks ago to bring back the conductivity of the coolant after the long shut down. The SVX conductivity came back very slowly to 13.4 μSiemens/cm, still to high. The ISL conductivity is still not within the range of the conductivity measuring device, so it shows 16 μSiemens/cm. Jim Humpert will change the resin once more this afternoon.

<br><br><b>CCC status</b><br>
<ul>
<li> 0x3000: this is the most reliable CCC, had no problems
this far, it is connected to the SVX SRC and working fine.
<li> 0x7000: This was the one that <a href=
'/cgi/elog/det-system-elog.pl?nb=silicon&action=view&page=303&frame=2&anchor=19:01:01'>
was not locking to RF</a>. Bill burned again the firmware and since then it is working fine, both at FCC and at tstsvx1. 0x7000 is in tstsvx1 and is being tested, so far it looks good.
<li> 0x5000: still has the <a href=
'/cgi/elog/det-system-elog.pl?nb=silicon&action=view&page=303&frame=2&anchor=19:01:01'>
problem</a> that the delay is sometimes stuck at 0x10. This causes a GAP error (which is not always reflected in the from LEDs). This CCC has to be debugged further. The problem is that at FCC we could reproduce the error for a while, but then it went away, it can not be reproduced reliably at tstsvx1 either.
</ul>
While
checking the CCC I found that one of the AMP cables is bad (I could see this because some clock signals were absent in the SRC MCLK LA pod, and by just moving a little the conector they were fine, changing the cable solved the problem (the old cable is labeled as bad). <br>

In a really clean abort, the line should be just flat ....
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 19;22;38 comment by...Ulrich -->
Come on, we are talking about radiation levels around the integration threshold (2 mrad/s without bleed current, 8 mrad/s with bleed current). Around here, one ADC count corresponds to roughly 1 mrad/s.
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 23;51;59 comment by...Marcel -->
It is not the dose, but it is an abort, our BLM's usually do not even latch after the abort. At least that was the case before the shutdown. And if the abort works, there should be really nothing, since the beam is kicked out at A0.
<!-- Comment: Wed Jun 14 09;03;19 comment by...Ulrich -->
The BLM FIFOs latched because MCR aborted the beam via the "Red Button" on purpuse (i.e. in order to use all the abort diagnostics, including our BLM FIFOs).
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 17:57:22 2006 -->
<h3>Cooling Down the Silicon</h3>
In preparation for the second 36x36 store after the shutdown, we bring the SVX set point back to -10°C (from -6°C). We proceed in two steps, first going to -8°C, then to -10°C. Currently, the silicon is still OFF.
<!-- Author: Ulrich -->
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 17;59;39 comment by...Ulrich -->
As expected, all pressures go up with the lower temperature. The BHW1 pressure exceeds the iFix warning limit of 13.3 psi. Since there is plenty of flow, I reduce the valve opening from 80% to 75%, which brings the pressure down to 12.8 psi.
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 18;06;42 comment by...Ulrich -->
Also the SVX chiller has some calibration issues: it is slightly colder than we want. Due to the lack of time to play around with temperatures, I decided to calibrate the issue away by just changing the BIAS setting for INPUT1 on the chiller controller. It is now at -1.5 (was -0.7 before.
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 18;34;49 comment by...Ulrich -->
The calibration seems to be ok. The chiller is now at -10°C, both according to the controller and according to iFix.
<!-- Comment: Tue Jun 13 18;37;09 comment by...Ulrich -->
Since we are 4°C colder now, I have adjusted some limits:
<ul>
<li>The PLC hardware trip limit for the BH temperatures is now at +2°C (from +5°C). Note: this one was wrong when Ankush hit the crash button.</li>
<li>I have hit "Set A/W Limits" to update all limits in the system.</li>
</ul>
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 18:52:33 2006 -->
<h3>The Plan</h3>
<p>The previous store was pretty much perfect.
<ul>
<li>The losses were low and similar to the values before the shudown</li>
<li>The store was aborted with the "MCR red abort button" and the BLM losses were very,very small (...but they were non-zero).</li>
</ul>
Also the Tev have worked on the abort timing and position, conditioned separators several times and today checked the A48 collimator position. So it would appear this time they have done much more preparation work.</p>
<p>So if this next store is similar to the previous store we will put Silicon in 2 hours after shot setup. We will first put silicon to STANDBY (it is still OFF) and then put silicon to ON.
Silicon will remain in for 3 hours and then be put back to STANDBY, not OFF. From then on, silicon will remain at STANDBY.</p>
<p>We will be in the control room for the whole period watching the fast time plotter. Before we start powering the silicon, we will tell MCR the silicon is being powered up and NO tuning, adjustments, etc are to be made. The beam must be stable. The same must be true for CDF. No more fiddling, adjusting any parts of the dectector, trigger, etc.</p>
<p>If the beam for any reason does not look right, Silicon will be taken to STANDBY.</p>
<p>If shot setup is delayed till after 8pm, we will postpone the Silicon inclusion until the following morning and start after the 8am meeting. Also if CDF is not running stably after 10pm, we shall do the same.</p>

<h3>Store 4760</h3>
<p>This store appeared to come in OK. Proton and pbar transfers went in very smoothly. However the intial lumi was surprisingly low...it was only ~20e30. This surprised us and the MCR. Then they discovered the D17V vertical separator was switched with the wrong polarity !!! It turns out the separator never reached 0 Volts during the squeeze and so the polarity never flipped. This was fixed and the beam has to be re-scrapped. Then the lumi jumped up to ~50e30.</p>
<p>Given the beam adjustments & rescraping, I do not feel too confident putting the Silicon in now. So Ulrich and I will go home now and see how the stores pans out overnight. If the store is still in, the losses remain static and no further adjustments are made, then Silicon will go in for its short 3 hour run.</p>
<!-- Author: Ankush -->
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 22:00:38 2006 -->
<h3>Warming up the Silicon</h3>
This afternoon we have cooled down SVX to -10°C to prepare for the store. The detector was still OFF, because we wanted to wait into the store to decide if we put it to STANDBY. Shortly before data-taking, we got COT alarms. Morris identified them as <a href=
'http://www-cdfonline.fnal.gov/cgi/elog/elog.pl?nb=2006&action=view&page=398&frame=2&anchor=21:13:36.314'>
temperature problems</a>. As it turned out, things became too cold for the COT, the lowest temperature being below 60°F. When we realized that the store was not as smooth, we took SVX back to -8°C, and now that we have canceled our plans for tonight, it is back to -6°.

<h3>ACNET Plots for Store 4759</h3>
<p>Here are the loss plots for store 4759. The large losses at the start are from scraping. The large losses at the end are from Tev studies where they did a separtor scan and checked the position of the A48 collimator. During the normal store, B0PAGC increases in time. But the upper value is less than 3KHz and this feature was seen in plots before the shutdown, ever since the Tevatron changed its "tunes" to a new operating point.</p>
<p>The right hand plot shows the variation of AGIGI2 and its pedestal value AGIGPED. Druing the store AGIGI2 started to increase and then became very big during the Tev end-of-store studies. It was during these end-of-store studies that AGIGI2 was calibrated and this is seen in the shift of AGIGPED.</p>
<!-- Date: Tue Jun 13 22:05:50 2006 -->
<h3>TevMon and AGIGI2</h3>
TevMon still has a problem with AGIGI2. We see this variable updating fine in ACNET (from the .CDF logger), but TevMon thinks it is not updating. Therefore, TevMon is in warning. We will mail Ray Culbertson about this problem.

Here are a couple of comments about AGIGI2 from the MCR log:
<pre>
05:37:07- CDF silicon is off. They turned off due AGIGI2 level. Attempts to scrub the abort gap were not that successful. Reduced AGIGI2 from 7 to 5.5 before D0AHTL and LOSTPB started to increase. Paging Dean for other ideas. - dln
-- Wed Jun 14 05:43:23 comment by...dln -- Operational note: The timing delay baseline for the TEL, T:L1DLY, probably changed after the shutdown. Previously it was commonly set around 173 rfc and the upper and lower limits for scrubbing were 190 rfc and 125 rfc. Now it is at 193 rfc so I ran the timing from 145 rfc to 225 rfc to get any affect. We should confirm this with Xiaolong.
-- Wed Jun 14 05:50:20 comment by...dln -- AGIGI2 only dropped to 5.5 on the scrubbing. Informed CDF that we could insert a collimator or rescrape. They have decided not to attempt to turn on the silicon until after their 0800 meeting. So we aren't going to risk the collimator move or the rescrape. Tev experts should consult with CDF this morning.

<h3>Abort Gap Clean Up</h3>
<p>In the morning, the TeV experts were able to clean up the abort gap. Now AGIGI2 is down to ~0.5 and all other losses are low. However B0PAGC is a little high at 6kHz but it is stable and it is well below our limits.</p>
<!-- Date: Wed Jun 14 12:05:57 2006 -->
<h3>The Plan</h3>
<p>As the beam looks much cleaner now and is looking stable, we are going to put silicon in for 3 hours. Ulrich has already started cooling down SVX to -10C. When the detector is cold, we will bring SVX, ISL and L00 to STANDBY. Then we shall wait for whole detector temperature to be completly stable. For this cool down we have already informed the COT folks.</p>
<p>We have already done a Ghost Buster check. It is working. We should also reset any IMON AVDD/DVDD pinkies we have been putting off.Stefano Torre will be here keeping an eye on SVT.</p>
<p>We shall keep an eye on initial trigger rates and any IMON pinkies. SVXMon will need to be running.</p>
<p>At the first sign the the beam looks unstable, Silicon will immediately go to STANDBY.</p>

And the silicon is back to STANDBY, of course.

As I said before, the abort was very clean for us. Please find the BLM plots in the

MCR has investigated the abort, and found out that the coasting beam valve was not the cause. Rather, somebody working there bumped into a loose cable. In Jim Morgan's words:
<pre>
14:51:51- The store was lost due to a spurious A0 beam valve abort. It appears the combination of a loose cable and unauthorized work in the service building combined to cause the abort. CDF is making their 2.5 hour access, D0 is also taking advantage of the time. After the accesses are over, we will proceed with shot setup. - J. Morgan

My initial guess was that the Fussballgott has caused the abort, just in time for the match. B.t.w.: <b>Germany 1 - Poland 0</b>.

<h3>Restarted IMON. Now running from b0dasvx03</h3>
<p>IMON was running really slow. You would click on a button and it would react with a few second delay. So I decided to restart it. So as we now have b0dasvx03 running scientific linux, I decided to log into that machine and run IMON off it.</p>
<p>If IMON starts acting strangley, switch to running IMON on b0dasvx01 or b0dasvx02; the two Red-Hat machines.</p>

<h3>ISL teststand at FCC</h3>
<p>Jeannine and I had a trip to FCC this afternoon. We tried to make the ISL 1/4 ladder working --- no success. We hooked up the SVX PS to the ISL JC. The ISL ladder was connected to channel 3 on PC, and we were using 8chip.isl in esevme17.crate file. We couldn't power up the ladder -- it was tripping. The next time, we'll try to reproduce what Corrine was doing, i.e. we'll gang together two ISL hybrids (ESE20 & ESE21) and try to make them work.</p>

<h3>Summary of afternoon work (14 June 06)</h3>
<p>After the premature end of the Tev store, I asked the ACEs to carry out without-beam DMode calibration. Then I did some work adjusting the IMON limit for the following ladders:
<ul>
<li>The following has AVDD adjusted:
<ul><li> e012, e291, e293, f000, f500, f503, e084</li></ul>
</li>
<li>The following has DVDD adjusted:
<ul><li> e290, e294, f021, f400, f512, f514</li></ul>
</li>
<li>The 2V DOIM limit for e11 was adjusted.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>After a few weeks of running, we should check the IMON limits again. If we need new limits, we should ask Dean to generate new ones.</p>
<p>I also took f002 out of the Hardware Database. This ladder stopped returning data in Jan '06. Many attempts to revive the ladder failed. So I took it out of the HWDB. If anyone has any clever ideas, they will be welcomed.</p>
<p>While doing the IMON work, IMON became very slow. So I restated it but this time running off b0dasvx03. This will allow us to test our Scientific Linux robustness.</p>

<li>Ladders out: e244, f002</li>

The Tevatron quenched again, this time during acceleration. The aces did a post-quench checkout (BLM FIFOs

here</a>). Everything was clean for us.
Here is the current hypothesis why this happened from the Tevatron e-log:
<pre>
Wed Jun 14 20:39:53 comment by...rm, bh -- Recall this is the first store in which we turned off the TEL-1 at 150 GeV since we wanted a longer electron pulse for abort gap cleaning during HEP. Without the TEL @ 150 GeV, the accumulated DC beam likely fell out and quenched us @ B26 - one of those high dispersion areas that got us in the past.
-- Wed Jun 14 20:44:08 comment by...rm, bh -- We could 1) change the TEL-1 pulsing scheme back to the shorter pulse that can fit between the protons and pbars @ 150; 2) start making orbit bumps. Option 1) is probably the best choice since if we bump at B26, we'll just push that DC beam loss somewhere else around the ring and we'll be chasing it for a few shots. (We've suffered through that before.)

<h3>Possible problem with f54/f55</h3>
<p>For the short 10 minute run we had in the morning, DS has already processed the data and the results show CAP-ID errors for all ladders in wedges f54/f55 ==> Maybe a FIB problem?</p>
<p>However we now have a small bit of quiet time. We ran f54/f55 quickly and we got errors for f551 and f553. f551 has a known CAP-ID problem. However we are now getting 00 Sequence errors for f553...this may be temperature related ? Unfortunatly we did not get time to run the ladder in NN mode.</p>
<p>So let's wait for the next store, try to put the silicon in for a few hours and see if these errors are persistant.</p>

<h3>The Plan from Jim Morgan</h3>
<pre>
The Collider Plan: Tevatron studiers will do a series of
aperture scans after the Tevatron is turned back on. Send pbars
to the Recycler when the stack is in the 60-80E10 range. The
Crew Chief should coordinate with Tev studies and maximize the
stash size. Shot setup would follow the studies, protons
240-260E9 per bunch in the Tevatron at 150 GeV unless specified
otherwise by the Machine Coordinator.
</pre>
<p>The aperture scan makes me a little worried as the Silicon is now at STANDBY.</p>

<h2>The Supplies are in!</h2>
Yesterday our first two shipments of supplies from CAEN came back (2 forward ISL supplies, 2 L00 supplies). Hank did a quick check on them, the crate sees them all, and I picked them up this morning. Now I'll do more detailed burn-in tests to make sure all the problems are really fixed (and we didn't develop any new ones going through customs). IF these 4 supplies are all ok, then we're sitting pretty good as far as power supplies go - we already have 2 SVX and 1 L00 spare.<br>

<h3>CCC ready to HALT data taking if no RF</h3>
With Bill and Mousumi we have a version of FER that will pick the interrupt from the CCC is lock to RF is lost and will go to HALT and give a warning (asking to page Silicon). We tested this yesterday in the teststand and everything worked fine. Other
errors (different from !RF) are ignored and cleared for now).
I have modified the CCC interface module, so that it does not conflict with the ISR used by FER.
<br>
We have to give Bill the OK so that he changes to FER version and we soft reboot b0svx02 and 06 to pick the changes. The idea is to do this during the next quiet time.

<h3>Store 4772</h3>
Store #4772 is in with an initial luminosity of 68e30. Currently, all TevMon parameters look nice and stable. The plan for this store is:
<ul>
<li>Watch the beam conditions for the first hour into the store.</li>
<li>Go in after an hour, beam conditions allowing, and run for about 3 hours.</li>
<li>Run with L3 filters on Scientific Linux.</li>
</ul>
<!-- Author: Ankush & Ulrich -->
<!-- Date: Thu Jun 15 14:36:34 2006 -->
<h3>Taking data with Silicon</h3>
After watching the store for 3/4 of an hour, Ankush and I decided that it is stable enough to include the silicon. We ramped the silicon without problems and started a first run.
<p>
After a couple of minutes, b0svx02 got stuck and would not go to HALT. I called Marcel to the rescue. We could vxlogin to the crate, and all relevant processes were running. However, the crate lost contact to run control. Marcel rebooted the crate and asked the shift crew to start a new run. The crate came back fine. Note: Steve Nahn and Marcel have disabled the possibility to reset the crate from run control, so Marcel did the reboot "by hand" via vxlogin.
<p>
The new run is now proceeding fine. After a couple of pre-scale changes, the L1A rate is now at 24 kHz.

Shortly after the new run came on, SVXMon discovered a lot of stuck cell IDs. The Ace did an HRR, and they came back fine.
<!-- Comment: Thu Jun 15 16;24;49 comment by...Marcel -->
Some comments from one of the old guys:<br>
<ul>
<li>If a b0svxXX crate gets stuck (it turns yellow/red) in RunControl, you have to end the Run and start from scratch. These crates cannot be sherperded, rebooted or send the transition command again. This is a feature originating from Steve N. to avoid people muppeting around with these crates. Keep in mind, these crates host the SRc's, the Ghostbuster and now the CCC. You don't want Aces to monkey around with these.
</li>
<li>
In this case, the crate was fine, but it did not recieve any RunControl commands anymore. So doing a reboot of the crate CPU is the way to go and the fastest way to get things back
</li>

Yellow in SVXMON:
<ul><li>e124--- this ladder had problems before, but it fixed itself on 01/02/06. So, it looks like it decided to unfix itself now. One needs to check this ladder during quiet time.</li></ul>
<ul><li>e564---no data from z-side; it has known bit7 low problem; it also had 99% of "no first chip" and "drop readout" in recent runs (caused by bit7 problem).</li></ul>
<ul><li>e154--- we gave up on this ladder. One should put it in SVXMON_IGNORE at the end of this run or before next store. </li></ul>

<p>I've added "needs work" threads e123 to e564. So now they have "checks disabled" in SVXMon. e154 is marked as unfixable so I thought SVXMon would not check it. But it still does. So I added the "SVXMon Ignore" status to the problem DB. Now all these ladders do not appear yellow in SVXMon.</p>
<p>But as soon as the BitReporter is updated we should check these ladders.</p>

<h3>Fighting Pinkies: Part II</h3>
We have the silicion biased for more than 6 hours now - time to re-visit a couple of AVDD pinkies:
<ul>
<li>e012: AVDD limit was adjusted to a lower value yesterday, back to old value today (a couple of chips coming and going?)</li>
<li>e084: AVDD current went slightly up yesterday, came down by the same amount today.</li>
<li>e292: AVDD dropped by 30 - this is new.
</ul>
All the remaining bias pinkies are in Micron ladders. The symptoms in all of them are very similar. They behaved stably before the shutdown, and now they jump all over the place. There is still hope that they come back to normal after being biased for a couple of days. Therefore, the bias currents for these ladders have been put to ignore for the time being:
<ul>
<li>e1a4</li>
<li>e3b2</li>
<li>e564</li>
</ul>
I will insert a typical plot of the bias current over time later.

<!-- Comment: Thu Jun 15 22;18;17 comment by...Sebastian -->
So, the CCC lost lock to RF, the LA did not trigger (did it? at least no page was recieved, right?) and since the new FER is not in place we did not get a warning. The question is why we lost lock. Could have been a real glitch, which with no CCC could have meant a trip of SVX, or someting bogus in the CCC (but this is the first time the CC looses lock afaik).

<h3>Unbiased Ladders</h3>
Yesterday I had a look at the bias currents in IMON. After eliminating most pinkies (and giving three Micron ladders a little more time), we are left with four ladders which show zero bias current:
<ul>
<li><b>e0b1</b>: re-included during PDB review, known to show no physics before, ADCMON: only noise</li>
<li><b>e130</b>: re-included during PDB review, known to show no physics before, ADCMON: only noise</li>
<li><b>f223</b>: known to show very small bias current, ADCMON spectrum ok.</li>
<li><b>f411</b>: known to show very small bias current, ADCMON spectrum ok.</li>
</ul>
We will probably have to exclude the bad SVX ladders again.

<h3>Interesting note about AGIGI2 from the Tev elog</h3>
<p>Over the past few stores AGIGI2 has been growing monotonically and required one the Tev experts to fix it. From reading this entry from the Tev elog, they are also keeping an eye on AGIGI2.</p>
<pre>
Click here to make a comment, Email or link this entry Fri Jun 16 14:54:34- Comments about Abort Gap Losses (T:AGIGI2):
Past couple of stores have had problems with maintaining T:AGIGI2 below 7 E9. It appears there is more information about what can effect these values so those who have to reduce this value can have something to tune. the TEL timing T:L1DLY has been scanned from 146 to 226 with its nominal around 193. It should not be scanned below 150 because it is good probablity that the pbar bunches around the gaps will be clipped. A value of around 150 seem to be a good place to effect AGIGI2. Also the vertical tune plays into this equation. We have noticed that keeping the vertical tune around .583 will also help decreases these losses. The T:TFPMON wants to adjust the tunes through a store in order to keep the pbar tunes constant. If these changes make AGIGI2 grow rapidliy we should suspend the tune changes. Finally, the vertical position of the collimators should have some effect on AGIGI2. The D173 vertical collimator could be placed closer to the beam using C10 MANUAL PAGE with a step size of 1mil into the beam. Plot the BLM T:LD1733 and do not let it grow to a value bigger than 2.5V.
Plans for keeping AGIGI2 over Weekend:
1) Monitor T:AGIGI2 and if it is on the rise and starts exceding 3E9 a scan of the TEL timing using T:L1DLY can be done from 150 to 200.
2)The vertical tune can also be used to help decrease these losses. Most likely it will want to decrease the vert tune.
3) Finally moving D173 vert collimator closer may help.
</pre>
<p>If we spot AGIGI2 growing, one could also look at some of the ACNET variables quoted above.</p>

<p>So the two measurements aren't exactly the same to 3 digits but they are certainly comparable. A few more repeat measurements to get some confidence in the repeatability and then we can do this every month.</p>
<p>One more thing to try again is to do another repeat measurement of the light levels in the collision hall.</p>

<h3>SVTSPYMon Edited and Updated</h3>
<p>A few edits to SVTSPYMon had to be made to cope with the change of the online web addresses and the change in the order of grpahs in the original SVTSPYMon PostScript File.</p>
<p>So I renamed the original SVTSPYMon perl script as svtspymon_old.pl. I then modified a version of the original one to implement the changes mentioned in the previous paragraph. If you have any problems with SVTSPYMon, let me know.</p>

<h3>CCC and DAQ work</h3>
Today we worked on the CCC-run control interface. Though
we tested the code in the teststand in the past (see <a href=
'/cgi/elog/det-system-elog.pl?nb=silicon&action=view&page=305&frame=2&anchor=13:07:37'>
here</a>) we found more problems today when trying the software
in b0svx02. The problem was that the mvme would not catch the IRQs after the config transition. This was traced to the fact that during the
config transition something (not clear what) is done to the mvme that screws up the ISR (interrupt routine). This was solved by
setting the interrupts again after config. The code was tested in all RC states and it worked correctly. We posponed the release of the code till we have time to test it carefully next week.
<br>
During the test we tripped some wedges, with was cause while switching clock modes. A config is needed to ensure that the system is fine, though this is upsetting because it beats the idea of the CCC (though problems in any other of the clk signals cause no problems, and we have seen that sometimes switching clk modes will upset the SRC, but not always).<br>

<h3>Silicon back to STANDBY</h3>

<h3>Just realised the ramification of the chilled water problem</h3>
<p>With a chiller having a problem this will eventually affect the detector temperature if we cannot get chilled water. We have to keep an eye on the detector temperature if the chiller takes some time to repair.</p>
<!-- Comment: Sat Jun 17 09;49;49 comment by...Ulrich -->
<h3>Chilled water: a reminder</h3>
Ankush is right, we had problems with the chilled water last summer when it was hot and dry. This is to remind everybody what the symptoms and possible remedies were:
<ul>
<li>Symptom: SVX chiller cannot hold its set point. <br>
This can be seen from the Alcove temperature in iFix. Normally, the SVX chiller return temperature is between -8°C and -9°C and very stable. The temperature will go up in case of chilled water problems.</li>
<li>Reason: not enough chilled water to SVX chiller.<br>
The chillers use the ECW (electronics cooling water) circuit in their heat exchangers. The efficiency of the heat exchanger depends on the flow and the temperature of the chilled water. According to the chiller technician from RAM, the flow is the bigger issue. With enough flow, the temperature does not matter too much.</li>
<li>Remedy 1: increase chilled water flow to chillers<br>
The chilled water circuit to the chillers does not have a flow meter or a separate pump. However, the flow to the chillers (and to the SUVA) can be increased by closing EV-5 of the ECW circuit. Last summer, it was closed to 30%.
<li>Remedy 2: clean the strainer. <br>
The chilled water goes through a strainer before it arrives at the silicon chillers. Last year, the cryo techs found that this strainer had never been cleaned and was clogged. We do not expect that it is clogged again after just one year.</li>
</ul>
So we (i.e. the Main Pager Carrier and the cooling experts) should have a regular look at the chiller return temperatures in the weeks to come.

<h3>Lost the Beam!!</h3>
<p>While in the control room watching the SVT boys trying to fix SVT the beam is lost...MCR are working out what happended.</p>
<!-- Author: Ankush -->
<!-- Comment: Sat Jun 17 13;48;15 comment by...Ankush -->
<h4>Helping the SVT Boys</h4>
<p>During the night SVT ran into trouble. They were losing SNYC on one of their crates due to Bunch Counter mis match. It seem to appear with Silicon. As the beam had just gone I decided to help these guys out. So after checking with MCR we were given 1 hour of quiet time. (in the end we had much more). So we ran the silicon COSMICs tape, with Silicon ON, to feed data from Silicon to SVT. After doing this for about ~30 mins, we realised SVT just needed silicon data....so even noise would be OK. So for safety I put Silicon to STANDBY and ignored all the HV inhibits. SVT were fed with chip noise. They were able to get their error with that.</p>
<p>I hung around into the wee hours helping SVT out. In the end they isolated to a few boards and then their FAKE HITs could generate the error. At that point (~5:30am) I went home as they no longer needed silicon. I read in the elog the problem was located to one of their PULSAR boards. More details in the <a href=
'http://www-cdfonline.fnal.gov/cgi/elog/elog.pl?nb=2006&action=view&page=408&frame=2&anchor=05:59:31.242'>
CDF shift e-log</a>.</p>
<p>In doing this it occured we could try something which could help our SVT brethren and be safe for Silicon. For some SVT tests, they just need FIB headers and c*c*. So could we not have a run configuration which just reads out the FIB headers without reading out any FIB channels. (in a similar way we test the GB). We can help SVT by sending data to them and we do not have to readout our chips...so our ladders stays happy....as long as we have power in the collision hall, thats all that is required. The detector could even be off......comments anyone ??</p>

We are currently investigating why/how/when our interlocks came back in response to seeing a happy chiller once again.
<!-- Author: Jennifer :-) & Ulrich -->
<!-- Comment: Sat Jun 17 13;30;25 comment by...Jennifer :-) & Ulrich -->
<h3>Summary of investigation</h3>
Here is a summary of the things we checked:
<ul>
<li>The SVX chiller compressor tripped off at 11:30:40. This caused the SVX and L00 power supply enables to trip. </li>
<li>18 seconds later, the compressor switched on again, which enable the power supplies again. The interlock coil C1801 for the SVX chiller status was tripped because X1305 indicated a compressor trip. Note that all chiller status coils do not latch and therefore do not have to be reset by the trip acknowledge buttons. That is the reason why the interlocks were fine again when we arrived.</li>
<li>The question is: why did the compressor trip in the first place. There is no indication that something went wrong with the chiller or the chilled water circuit beforehand. However, there was some problems with the chilled water earlier (see picture below). We will send mail to Andy Hocker and Bill Noe, maybe they remember earlier incidents like this.
</ul>

<h3>Aghhh...Cooling Trip!!</h3>
<p><b>Newbies:</b>This is what a cooling trip looks like!. Note the lines of "External Trip..External Trip". Also you can see in IMON that SVX and L00 went red. Indicating they were all tripped OFF.</p>
<p>When you are main pager carrier and you are paged about a cooling trip, you should ask the ACEs if they see something like this picture. If you cannot understand them or they cannot describe it to you, use the smiley faces to capture the image.</p>

All losses are still very good, and AGIGI2 is stable. So we keep silicon in for the rest of the store. Sasha has the main pager.

<h4>Trip: I B5 W1 L2 AVDD</h4>
Got paged for trips in I B5 W1 L2 for the second time tonight. The first time around 9:00, the ace had never recovered a trip before, and I walked her through the procedure. The second time now, the wedge tripped again after being recovered. A second attempt did the trick.

The second time, Sasha on the Main Pager was paged first. The shift crew got impatient already after 5 minutes, so they paged me.

I got only one page and responded as soon as got to the phone (~1 min). It's strange, Scico told me that they paged me twice, but I got only one page. By some reason I've not been paged for the first trip.

Well, for the first trip, they paged me instead of the Main Pager. Maybe they tried twice now...
<!-- Date: Sun Jun 18 03:03:33 2006 -->
<pre>I was paged because SB1W5L1 tripped and ACE could not recover it. The PS Gui was not responding, so I told ACE to restart it. After PS Gui was up, ACE recovered the trip without problems. After that I was asked by CO about Silimon problems. During my conversation with CO, there was a PS10 problem. I had to explain the ACE (Deepak Kar) how to hockerize the crate. The hockerization was successfull. </pre>

<p>What can we learn from this. For the usual PS trips, it has taken the ACES 15-20 mins to recover. To be honest, that's no so bad for completely new ACEs. Remember I have insisted the ACEs page silicon first before attempting to recover any silicon probem. So at least 5 minutes can be attributed to the pager response. Once they get some more experience, I hope this downtime due to PS trips to drop to much smaller value.</p>
<p>...but one entry does stick out. <b>57 minutes to hockerise a crate!!</b>. No surprise but this is acssociated to one of our <em>favourite aces</em>. My sympathies to Sasha who to talk him through the whole procedure at 3AM. An <em>attitude adjustment</em> may be required.</p>

A small correction... Hockerization took a long time, but it wasn't 57 min. There were a few things happening simultaneously. The 57 min of down time which are entered in the logger have to be atributed to a trip recovery for e151, restarting runs (during trip recovery and hockerization, DAQ ACE was starting a new run), and a hockerization. My estimate is that hockerization itself took ~25-30 min---still too long. So, here is how the situation unfolded. I was paged because ACE couldn't recover a trip on e151. PS gui was not responding to his commandes, however it was updating (according to ACE's words). I think this has confused ACE on the first place and made him to page me. So, I asked ACE to restart the GUI and trip was recovered without problems after that. A few minutes later (I was still on a phone talking to CO), PS10 failed, so I was switched back to MON ACE. It appeared that ACE didn't know (he said he wasn't on that lecture) what hockerization is and where to go to do it. So, I had to explain him. ACE failed to hockerize from the first attempt because he couldn't find a power cord (?). He also flipped Off/On 5V enables for SVX---something he shouldn't do at all. After that, I wasn't sure he would be able to do a hockerization, so I asked the second ACE. It turns out the second ACE also didn't know how to do a hockerization, but at least he heard this word. After that, I told MON ACE how to find the instructions for a hockerization on the silicon webpage and he finally was able to do it. I guess my mistake was that I started explaining the ACE about the hockerization instead of pointing to instructions with pictures.

<h3>Lots of RXPT errors for b0svx02</h3>
<p>During the current run the shift crew have seen quite a few RXPT errors for b0svx02 followed by a resonnance error. An example can be found <a href=

<p>Our current whipping boy, the CCC, is not to be blamed. I check the lights on the CCC and I logged into b0svx02 to check it from there. CCC is still locked to RF and no other errors are present. So I am now stuck.</p>

I have checked the plots from ADCMon for the runstaken so far.
Most of the ladders are fine giving results comparable to the references before th shutdown.
<br>
This is the summary for ladders giving troubles or that are new:
<li> <b>e084</b> and <b>e404</b> were recovered during the shutdown. They seem to perform well. Perhaps tail from physics is not as high as they should be (pinhole?), but they definetely see physics. Keep them taking data.
</li>
<li> <b>e0b1</b> and <b>e130</b> were put online during the shutdown. They see signal, but they look as not biased. They are useless for physics in the current situation. Further studies may be needed to recover them.<br>
<font color=yellow>Need to decide if they are taken out</font>
</li>
<li> <b>e564</b> did not see physics in run 218620. It sees physics for other runs. However, around 60% of the events have "Unknown channel errors".
</li>
<li> <b>e012</b> see physics (although not clean behavior from some the chips). It was reported to have unstable AVDD. It seems similar to the state before the shutdown.
</li>
<li> <b>e244</b> and <b>f002</b> are out of the HWDB after the shutdown. Known.
</li>
<li> <b>e1a4</b> is bad. It has no data for the runs. <font color=yellow>Need to decide if kept in</font>
</li>
<li> A couple of ladders with DPS off (known).

<pre>Store 4781 went in with initial lum at ~107. The losses were unstable in the beginning of the store (see plot below), so I asked Steve to call MCR and investigate what was going on. Unfortunately MCR didn't know a reason. I decided to include silicon after losses stabilized and were flat for a few min.</pre>

I was paged because of freequent resonance problems (<a href=

example from e-log</a>). They were happening every 5 min and ACE got worried something bad may happen, so he halted the run and paged me. I asked him to check lights on CCC---they were OK. The resonances mostly came from the same ladders, they started happening after a prescale change. I didn't know how else to help ACE except asking him to restart the run and see what happens.

<p>This also occured yesterday. It starts with a series of L1 DONE TIMEOUTs and then we end up with a resonnance. We simply do <b>not</b> get L1 DONE TIMEOUT. Something is not right here.</p>

Francisco Pirovano
**Report Highlights:**
The Argentine fresh deciduous fruit crop in calendar year (CY) 2004 is
forecast at 1.36 million metric tons (MT), a 17 percent drop with
respect to CY 2003 due to unfavorable weather conditions. In addition to
the fall in production, the poor quality of the crop will be an issue in
CY 2004, due to damages from frost, wind, and insects. Exports of fresh
apples and pears are expected to decline due to the poor quality of CY
2004 despite the exporters\' desire to increase their shipments. The
strength of the dollar against the Argentine peso is expected to
continue to discourage imports. Domestic consumption of fresh pears and
apples is also forecast to decline because the limited amount of good
quality fresh fruit will be destined to the export market. Concentrated
apple juice (CAJ) production and exports are forecast to remain high, as
more low quality fruit will be available for this sector this year.

# Section I. Situation and Outlook
# Production
Fresh Deciduous Fruit production in CY 2004 is forecast to drop to 1.36
million MT, a 15-percent fall compared with the CY 2003 harvest. The
unfavorable weather conditions in the main producing regions provoked a
significant drop in CY 2004 yields.
In addition to the fall in production, the quality of the fruit has been
affected the frost and winds, as well as damage by coddling moth (*Cydia
pomonela*).
Planted area in Mendoza Region shrunk in a remarkable manner. As shown
in table 2 below, this steep fall was due to a data adjustment from the
2002 National Agricultural Census, which was released in 2003.
Reportedly, this industry lost a great deal of profitability in the
1990's and many farmers converted their fields into more profitable
crops such as grapes for wine. Although planted area in the Rio Negro
and Neuquen producing region has probably changed as well, no new
official figures have been released.

Argentine apple production in CY 2004 is expected to fall 10 percent to
900,000 MT due to unfavorable weather conditions.
The apple crop in the Mendoza region is expected to fall 30 percent as a
result of a 35 percent reduction in planted area and expected lower
yields for CY 2004. The reduction of the yields was caused mainly by
extremely hot days in November 2003 and strong winds in December 2003.
Apple yields in the Region of Rio Negro and Neuquen, also fell by 8
percent due to unfavorable climatic events. Firstly, a late frost that
occurred on October 10 affected a large part of the southern valleys and
accounted for 90 percent of the yield loss.

Secondly, a number of days with strong winds in the first two weeks of

crop. Reportedly, 5 percent of the losses were caused by winds.

Argentine pear production in CY 2004 is forecast to fall to 460,000 MT,
a 23-percent drop with respect to CY 2003 at 600,000 MT.
The pear crop in Mendoza region is forecast at 60,000 MT in 2004, 30
percent less than CY 2003. Reportedly, pear orchards suffered severely
the effects of strong winds in December 2003. The results have not only
been in fruit losses, but also in a reduction of fruit quality. In CY
2004, a large amount of fruit will only be suitable for either the
domestic market or less strict foreign markets such as Brazil due to the
low quality.
In the Rio Negro and Neuquen producing region, the pear-picking season
started during the third week of CY 2004 with the Bartlet variety. While
the first vessels bound for Europe are ready to depart, those leaving
for the United States will be loaded by January 24, 2004. Pear
production in this region is forecast to decline to 400,000 MT, nearly
20 percent less than in CY 2003, due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Concentrated Apple Juice (CAJ) production is expected to increase 6
percent in CY 2004 to 66,000 MT. The more stringent plant protection
regulations imposed by the Argentine Plant Health Agency (SENASA) to
combat coddling moth (*Cydia pomonela*), are expected to result in 10
percent increase of deliveries to the crushing industry in CY 2004.

# Domestic Consumption
Domestic consumption of apples and pears will suffer a downturn in CY
2004 because of the contraction in supply due to lower production and
competition with the export sector. Pear domestic consumption is
forecast to drop 35 percent in CY 2004. While in CY 2003 domestic
consumption of fresh pears was 123,000 MT, it is expected that no more
than 80,000 MT will reach the market in CY 2004. Regarding apples, the
reduction in consumption is projected to be in the order of 30 percent,
from 350,000 MT in CY 2003 to 250,000 in CY 2004. The poor quality
expected in CY 2004 will determine a drop in the domestic price.
# Trade
While exporters are keen on expanding their business in CY 2004, exports
of fresh pears and apples are forecast to decline in CY 2004 due to
unfavorable weather conditions, which affected production and quality.
Apple exports in CY 2004 are forecast to fall to 170,000 MT, 15 percent
less than CY 2003.
Pear exports in CY 2004 are expected to drop 20 percent compared with CY
2003 to 260,000 MT due to the lack of good quality fruit to satisfy
international standards.
Regarding the destination of the produce, sources in the industry
believe that the current strength of the Euro will make exporters look
to the old continent in CY 2004. According to industrial sources, the
European Union is going to attract more pear shipments in CY 2004 than
in CY 2003. Shipments to the U.S. are forecast to decline from the
50,000 MT in CY 2003 to 36,000 MT in CY 2004, due to better prices in
Europe.
Quality will be another issue that will constrain exports in CY 2004. In
general terms, pear quality will not reach the high standards demanded
by the United States and the E.U. markets due to damages on the fruit's
skin from the strong winds in the region. Russia, one of the least
strict markets, will probably take most of the fruit.
The more stringent plant protection regulations imposed by the Argentine
Plant Health Agency (SENASA) is expected to result in 10 percent more
fruit going to the crushing industry. This new measure is part of an
eradication campaign set by the Argentine government to combat coddling
moth.
Exports of CAJ in CY 2004 are expected to increase by 6 percent to
64,000 MT, as more fruit is likely to be delivered to processor due to
stricter controls over codling moth in the Patagonia Valley growing
region. Historically, Argentina has exported nearly 97 percent of its
national production of CAJ. Exports of CAJ reached 63,600 MT in 2003,
98-percent of which was destined to the United States in bulk (307 Kg
drums or 1535 Kg bins).
In CY 2004 the logistics for fruit exports from the San Antonio Este
port in Southeastern Argentina will be more efficient. Industry sources
report that all the export groups (one export group can be made up of
many exporters or packers) have agreed to share vessels, leading to
faster loading and less delays than in previous years.
Imports of apples, pears and CAJ continued to decline (see statistical
tables: Imports) as the Argentine peso remains far below the dollar.
Imports of CAJ were mainly from Brazil and are used as sweetener by the
soft drink industry.

# Factors Affecting Industry Structure
**Brazil**
For decades, Brazil has been the first market for the Argentine fresh
apples and pears. Argentina used to supply 90 percent of Brazil's
domestic consumption. Brazilian apple production grew drastically in the
last forty years. Currently, with production close to self-sufficiency,
it only imports limited amounts of fruit.
----------------------- ---------- ----------- ------------- -------------
**Evolution of the
apple production in
Brazil**
Year 1970 1980 1990 2000
Area (ha) 1000 20000 25000 30000
Production (MT) 1500 50000 330000 860000
----------------------- ---------- ----------- ------------- -------------
This situation has modified the commercial relationship between
Argentina, as an apple supplier, and Brazil. Argentine apple exports
started to fall in 2003 when Brazil reinforced its sanitary measures to
avoid the risk of introducing Coddling moth (an endemic disease in
Argentina) in its territory. As a result, many exporters have turned
their attention to other less strict markets such as Russia. In CY 2003,
Russia replaced Brazil as the top importer of Argentine apples.
#
## Cost of production
Sources in the industry informed that the cost of producing one metric
ton of fruit has increased over the last year. Labor, which is nearly 25
percent of the annual operative cost of a plantation, increased 100
percent in CY 2003. Currently, unions are on strike asking for a salary
increase, which will take the wage of an apple picker up to \$12.
Sources in the industry assert that an increase in wages will compromise
the business in CY 2004.
## Marketing activities
In the second part of CY 2003, one of the largest Argentine packinghouse
began with what they called an "aggressive marketing strategy" oriented
to high-income consumers. Branded with its logo, they presented their
apples in tasting shows in 70 stores. In addition, they carried out
opinion polls in all the shops that they supplied. Also, this firm
created alliances with the supermarkets in order to continuously supply
them with the highest quality in the market. After six months of work,
this company is now the number one in sales in the Argentine domestic
market.
## Financial Constraints
After the banking crisis began in December 2001, very little sign of
financial recovery has been seen in Argentina. The 70 percent peso
devaluation and the conversion of all the debts from their original
currency to Argentine pesos, helped producers solve their financial
problems for a while. However, the lack of foreign credit leads
packinghouses to rely more heavily on letters of credit from importing
countries in order to attain foreign exchange to finance their domestic
operations. Due to the lack of quality in CY 2004, the most important
challenge for this industry will be to find the way to supply the
domestic market.
## Quality
The stiffer plant protection measures that Brazil imposed on the
Argentine fruit because of codling moth (*Cydia pomonela*), an endemic
pest in the Patagonian valleys, resulted in a reduction of the Argentine
shipments in CY 2003. After the one-month ban on Argentine apples in May
2002, the Brazilian and Argentine plant protection authorities agreed on
a more stringent pre-clearance export program to avoid this pest
encroaching on the Brazilian border. With this new program in force, the
number of lots rejected has increased considerably and as a result, the
amount of fresh fruit suitable for export declined.

October 8, 2007
Dear Mr. Levitt & Honorable Committee Members,
I would like to draw your attention to a simple idea that would
dramatically improve audit quality, industry conditions, investor
confidence and communications. As a wise man wrote in the book *Take on
the Street*, "to stop the numbers game, Warren Buffet believes, and I
agree, that corporate boards should require auditors to rate the
aggressiveness of accounting policies." (This has been echoed by several
academics.) However, going one step further, checks and balances will be
enhanced if the analysis is conducted by a third party, instead of their
auditors. Actually, this already exists today, and it's a \$60 million
business. But, by making it a regulatory requirement, the dynamics of
this fast growing research service would dramatically change, and in its
place would be a "rating agency" type structure leveraging market forces
to improve accounting. As a former Sr. Director at Standard & Poor's, I
have seen first hand how benchmarks can temper management's
aggressiveness and increase the flow of information to the capital
markets.
*Earnings Quality Rating*
Non-auditing, third party accounting examiners exist today. According to
Integrity Research Associates, there are 19 companies currently sell
earnings quality/forensic accounting research. They observe how
conservative/aggressive management is in their application of accounting
polices (choices within Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), while
alerting investors to possible "shenanigans." Bought mostly by hedge
funds, its primary value is identifying "red flags" or short
opportunities.
This research [must]{.underline} be democratized! By simply making it a
listing requirement, researchers would change their business model from
subscription (available only to wealthy investors), to "issuer paid"
(available to everyone similar to financial statements). (Note: The
credit rating industry transitioned to an issuer paid model when bank
regulators mandated that only "high quality" bonds could satisfy reserve
requirements). Earnings rating agencies would be hired by a company's
Independent Audit Committee to ensure unprejudiced analysis. They'd
issue letter grades (AAA, AA,... B,\... D, etc) that would be freely
distributed though the Internet to all investors. I'm sure Mr.
Autoworker would like to know if there's a "D" rated company in his
retirement account. Extensive research and tools would be sold to
institutional investors.
It's true the credit rating agencies have come under fire recently, but
as they say "you can't let perfection be the enemy of good." Image where
the financial world would be today if investors didn't have easy access
to corporate or municipal bond ratings?
*Business Model Benefits*
While the concept of an earnings ratings agency is simple, the benefits
would be enormous:
• More Conservative Accounting - According to CFO.com, 47% of America's
CFO's still feel pressure from management on accounting. After all, the
more aggressive they are (without stepping over the line) the bigger
their bonus will be. There's little downside. But the scandals occurred
when previously good people influenced by fame and the seduction of
stock option rewards crossed the narrow line they had been inching
towards.
Earnings ratings are a necessary counter incentive that can easily be
written into management compensation agreements, investment policy
statements, loan convents, etc.. Their gradual grading method would keep
managers far from the edge. Currently, management is free to choose
their level of allowance for doubtful accounts, and it may be used to
manipulate earnings. But would they if they if variation from previous
levels risked a downgrade? This gives the CFO's cover.
It also gives auditors cover. According to many, their relationship with
the companies has become adversarial to the point where valuable advice
is being withheld due to "paranoia." By establishing an earnings rating
agency structure it would allow audit firms to return to their role as
"good cop."
Earnings ratings also provide upside for managers. How many chief
executives would be anxious to have their conservative accounting
recognized versus their aggressive peers?
• Ever-Present Watchdog - In the aftermath of the scandals, Congress
sought to examine the breakdown of "watch-dog groups" including
securities analysts, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), and the
credit rating agencies. The report concluded that none were fully
equipped or oriented to serve that function.
Effectively, little has changed with these groups. Securities analysts
have been separated from investment banking, but realistically their
bonuses are still dependent upon the overall bonus pool, which
ultimately is driven by investment banking profits. Credit agencies
maintain their role is not auditing. The SEC did increase its staff to
do more spot checks, but will they have the same budgets a few years
from now when the scandals have faded from memory?
Initially, Congress pushed for mandatory auditor rotation. They reasoned
accounting firms would be less likely to be seduced (e.g. Anderson
audits of Enron) if the chance of discovery was greater. Industry pushed
back citing the high costs, and congress instead established the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Although they do quality
control checks on auditors, the bottom line is that there still isn't a
watch dog on every audit. But, as banking analyst Joseph Stieven of
Stifel Nicholas observed on the SEC's Advisory Panel for Smaller Public
Companies, "there is a true extra set of eyes in the bank regulators."
As a result, he "defied anyone to name five major bank failures \[from
accounting\]."
Can an accounting "watch-dog" be establish at a reasonable cost to
issuers? Leave it to private enterprise. Credit rating agencies, which
are granted special access to non-public information, charge issuers a
reasonable fee, but earn revenues in multiple ways. Publishers are adept
at repurposing the same information with varying depths for different
markets. Earnings rating agencies can accomplish the same. The \$60
million now paid by the buy-side can used to subsidize accounting
investigation for all.
• Increase Information Flow -- For individual investors, earnings rating
agencies would broadcast their "seal of approval" through every
financial distributor and website (e.g. Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo
Finance, Google Finance, etc). It would be a daily reminder of the
presence of another watch-dog. This availability and branding will truly
restore investor confidence.
Institutional investors would be able to purchase accounting analysis
like what is produced today, but for every listed company. Though it's
no longer a short idea since everyone is aware, it does reduce the
analyst's work. The first stage of equity research is accounting
examination in order to establish a solid base for which to make
projections. Since this same work is performed by every analyst
researching a company, it is redundant (and generally outsourced to
India today).
This solution is especially ideal for smaller public companies that have
no Wall Street analyst coverage, which is a separate but critical
problem in the capital markets. With the accounting investigation
already completed, Wall Street analysts can increase the number of
companies they cover. Perhaps they still won't cover the smallest
companies, but the reports still provide a company a means to get their
message to the institutional investor community since they contain an
examination of current earnings streams, which is included in most all
definitions of earnings quality.
• Facilitate Investment Comparison -- Leaving aside fraud, let's look at
accounting from a means to facilitate investment comparison. In 2002,
Standard & Poor's calculated what they considered to be "core earnings",
or earnings associated with the operations of the business (thus
excluding investment windfalls, adding stock option expenses, and other
items).
How big was the difference between core and reported? According to S&P,
companies in the S&P 500-stock reported on average \$26.74 earnings per
share for the 12-months ending June 2002, but the core earnings were
just \$18.48, a [31%]{.underline} difference. Clearly, with a 31%
average variation in the denominator, the widely used price-to-earnings
ratio has little true value.
Earnings ratings examiners look at the accounting policies and whether
they mirror the operations of the business. Entities in similar
businesses should have made similar accounting choices. Earnings ratings
would put pressure on management to confirm to others in the industry
and this will naturally narrow that gap.
*In Conclusion*
In short, earnings ratings would be an effective measure that uses
market forces to encourage more conservative accounting while constantly
reminding the public of another watch-dog. It would correct the
shortfalls in our financial systems that directly led to the accounting
scandals and would right a gross misconception in equity evaluation.
Sincerely,
Richard S. Furlin

all-txt-docs | 410824 | DATABASE FOR THE EAST HALF OF "PRELIMINARY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE BLYTHE 30' BY 60'
QUADRANGLE, CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA" (U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OPEN-FILE REPORT
90-497)
By Paul Stone
2006
U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 225
DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILES
INTRODUCTION
This report contains a digital geologic map database created from the east half
of a previously published geologic map entitled, "Preliminary Geologic Map of
the Blythe 30' by 60' Quadrangle, California and Arizona" (Stone, 1990). That
map was published as U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report 90-497 and
is available from the USGS in the form of paper copies reproduced from a scale-
stable film original. The scale of the previously published map is 1:100,000.
The digital database of this report is intended to contain exactly the same
geologic data as the east half of the published map that comprises USGS Open-
File Report 90-497. No geologic line, polygon, or point data have been
intentionally added, subtracted, or modified from the original map. The
database has been carefully prepared and reviewed to ensure that it constitutes
a faithful digital representation of the geologic data presented in the original
analog map.
A digital geologic map database of the west half of the Blythe 30' by 60'
quadrangle also is available. That database was published as part of U.S.
Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map (SIM) 2922 (Stone, 2006).
Unlike the database of the present report, the database of SIM 2922 contains new
geologic data in addition to, or in place of, the data contained in the original
map of Open-File Report 90-497.
This document describes the types and contents of files comprising the database.
Information on how to extract and plot the map also is provided.
This publication includes ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute,
http://www.esri.com) version 8.1.2 coverages and associated tables; Portable
Document Format (PDF) files of four illustrations that accompany the database;
and a text file of FGDC-compliant metadata for the report.

Files that have the .gz file extension were compressed using gzip. Gzip
utilities are available free of charge via the Internet at the gzip home page,
http://www.gzip.org.
The data package is additionally bundled into a single tar (tape archive) file.
The individual files must be extracted using a tar utility, available free of
charge via the Internet through links on the Common Internet File Formats page,
http://www.matisse.net/files/formats.html. One such utility is WinZip,
available at http://www.winzip.com (WinZip can also decompress files).
HOW TO OBTAIN THE DIGITAL FILES
The digital files constituting the geologic map database of this report may be
obtained via the Internet from the U.S. Geological Survey publications website.
Go to the web page at http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/225 and follow the
directions to download the files.
EXTRACTING THE GEOLOGIC MAP DATABASE FROM THE TAR FILE
After downloading the files, they must be uncompressed using a gzip utility such
as gzip itself or WinZip. The data files must then be extracted using the
appropriate tar utility.
To do this Type this at the Unix command prompt
Uncompress ble.tar.gz gzip -d ble.tar.gz (or use gzip utility
to ble.tar of choice)
Go to the directory that will cd local_directory
hold the directory ble/ (if
different from local_directory)
Extract the Blythe East tar -xvof {path to tar file}/ble.tar
directory from the tar file (or use tar utility of choice)
This process will create a directory, ble/, that contains the ARC/INFO
interchange files and supporting files.
CONVERTING THE ARC/INFO EXPORT FILES
ARC interchange (.e00) files are converted to ARC coverages using the ARC
command IMPORT with the option COVER.
ARC interchange files also can be read by some other Geographic Information
Systems. Please consult your GIS documentation to see if you can use ARC
interchange files and to determine the procedure for importing them.
PORTABLE DOCUMENT FORMAT (PDF) FILES
The PDF files are accessed using Adobe Reader software, available free from
the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com. Follow instructions at the website
to download and install the software.

Summary of argument
Argument:
The temporary reinstatement remedy set forth in
Section 405(c) does not violate the Due Process
Clause
A. The Due Process Clause almost never requires
the government to hold an evidentiary hearing
before effecting a temporary deprivation of property
B. Consideration of the factors identified by this
Court in Mathews clearly demonstrates that the
temporary reinstatement remedy satisfies the
requirements of procedural due process
1. Appellee's private interest
2. The government's interest
3. The risk of erroneous deprivation
4. Balance of the factors
Conclusion
OPINIONS BELOW
The order of the district court (J.S. App. 1a-10a) is reported at
624 F. Supp. 197. The prior order of the district court granting
appellee's motion for a preliminary injunction (J.S. App. 11a-19a) is
reported at 603 F. Supp. 249. The Secretary's findings and
preliminary order (J.S. App. 20a-23a) are unreported. The recommended
decision and order of the administrative law judge (J.S. App. 29a-43a)
are unreported.
JURISDICTION
The judgment of the district court (J.S. App. 24a) was entered on
November 18, 1985. The notice of appeal to this Court was filed on
December 17, 1985 (J.S. App. 25a-26a, 27a-28a). On February 6, 1986,
Justice Powell issued an order extending the time within which to
docket this appeal to and including March 17, 1986. The
jurisdictional statement was filed on that date, and this Court noted
probable jurisdiction on May 19, 1986. The jurisdiction of this Court
rests upon 28 U.S.C. 1252.
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY PROVISIONS INVOLVED
1. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution provides in pertinent
part:
No person shall * * * be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, without due process of law * * *.
2. Section 405(a) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of
1982, 49 U.S.C. App. 2305(a), provides:
No person shall discharge, discipline, or in any manner
discriminate against any employee with respect to the employee's
compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment
because such employee (or any person acting pursuant to a
request of the employee) has filed any complaint or instituted
or caused to be instituted any proceeding relating to a
violation of a commercial motor vehicle safety rule, regulation,
standard, or order, or has testified or is about to testify in
any such proceeding.
3. Section 405(c) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of
1982, 49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c), provides:
(1) Any employee who believes he has been discharged,
disciplined, or otherwise discriminated against by any person in
violation of subsection (a) or (b) of this section may, within
one hundred and eighty days after such alleged violation occurs,
file (or have filed by any person on the employee's behalf) a
complaint with the Secretary of Labor alleging such discharge,
discipline, or discrimination. Upon receipt of such a
complaint, the Secretary of Labor shall notify the person named
in the complaint of the filing of the complaint.
(2)(A) Within sixty days of receipt of a complaint filed
under paragraph (1) of this subsection, the Secretary of Labor
shall conduct an investigation and determine whether there is
reasonable cause to believe that the complaint has merit and
notify the complainant and the person alleged to have committed
a violation of this section of his findings. Where the
Secretary of Labor has concluded that there is reasonable cause
to believe that a violation has occurred, he shall accompany his
findings with a preliminary order providing the relief
prescribed by subparagraph (B) of this paragraph. Thereafter,
either the person alleged to have committed the violation or the
complainant may, within thirty days, file objections to the
findings or preliminary order, or both, and request a hearing on
the record, except that the filing of such objections shall not
operate to stay any reinstatement remedy contained in the
preliminary order. Such hearings shall be expeditiously
conducted. Where a hearing is not timely requested, the
preliminary order shall be deemed a final order which is not
subject to judicial review. Upon the conclusion of such
hearing, the Secretary of Labor shall issue a final order within
one hundred and twenty days. In the interim, such proceedings
may be terminated at any time on the basis of a settlement
agreement entered into by the Secretary of Labor, the
complainant, and the person alleged to have committed the
violation.
(B) If, in response to a complaint filed under paragraph (1)
of this subsection, the Secretary of Labor determines that a
violation of subsection (a) or (b) of this section has occurred,
the Secretary of Labor shall order (i) the person who committed
such violation to take affirmative action to abate the
violation, (ii) such person to reinstate the complainant to the
complainant's former position together with the compensation
(including back pay), terms, conditions, and privileges of the
complainant's employment, and (iii) compensatory damages. If
such an order is issued, the Secretary of Labor, at the request
of the complainant may assess against the person against whom
the order is issued a sum equal to the aggregate amount of all
costs and expenses (including attorney's fees) reasonably
incurred, as determined by the Secretary of Labor, by the
complainant for, or in connection with, the bringing of the
complaint upon which the order was issued.
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
Whether Section 405(c) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act
of 1982, 49 U.S.C. App. 2305(e), which provides that the Secretary of
Labor -- upon a finding of "reasonable cause to believe" that an
employee in the motor transportation industry was discharged in
retaliation for the employee's safety complaints -- "shall" order the
temporary reinstatement of the employee pending a hearing regarding
the reasons for the discharge, is invalid under the Due Process Clause
of the Fifth Amendment because the Secretary is not required to afford
the employer an evidentiary hearing before issuing the temporary
reinstatement order.
STATEMENT
1. Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of
1982, 49 U.S.C. App. (& Supp. II) 2305, prohibits employers in the
motor transportation industry from taking retaliatory action against
employees who assert their rights to safe working conditions. The
statute provides that "(n)o person shall discharge, discipline, or in
any manner discriminate against any employee with respect to the
employee's compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of
employment" because the employee filed a complaint or otherwise
instituted a proceeding "relating to a violation of a commercial motor
vehicle safety rule, regulation, standard, or order," or because the
employee refused for safety reasons to operate a commercial motor
vehicle. 49 U.S.C. App. 2305(a) and (b). /1/
An employee who "believes he has been discharged, disciplined, or
otherwise discriminated against by any person" in violation of these
statutory protections may file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor
(49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(1)). /2/ Upon receipt of a complaint, the
Secretary is required to "notify the person named in the complaint of
the filing of the complaint" (ibid.). The Secretary must then
investigate the complaint in order to "determine whether there is
reasonable cause to believe that the complaint has merit" (49 U.S.C.
App. 2305(c)(2)(A)). /3/ If the Secretary concludes as a result of
the investigation that there is "reasonable cause to believe that a
violation has occurred, he shall accompany his findings with a
preliminary order" providing for (1) abatement of the retaliatory
conduct, (2) reinstatement of the employee to his or her former
position, and (3) back pay and any other compensatory damages (ibid.).
The employee or the employer may file objections to the Secretary's
findings and request a "hearing on the record," which "shall be
expeditiously conducted" (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(A)). The statute
specifically provides that the filing by the employer of objections to
the Secretary's findings and a request for a hearing "shall not
operate to stay any reinstatement remedy contained in the preliminary
order" (ibid.). The hearing is held before an administrative law
judge (ALJ), who issues a recommended decision that is reviewed by the
Secretary. The Secretary must issue a final order within 120 days of
the conclusion of the hearing (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(A)). /4/ The
order is subject to judicial review in the appropriate court of
appeals (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(d)(1)). /5/
2. Appellee, "one of the nation's largest over-the-road carriers"
(J.A. 80), is engaged in the business of operating commercial motor
vehicles interstate, principally to transport cargo (J.S. App. 1a,
20a). Appellee is therefore subject to the requirements of Section
405, 49 U.S.C. App. 2301(3); J.S. App. 1a, 20a; J.A. 90.
On November 22, 1983, appellee discharged one of its truck drivers,
Jerry Hufstetler, allegedly because Hufstetler had committed an act of
dishonesty: appellee asserted that Hufstetler had intentionally
disabled several of the lights on his truck, creating a false
breakdown in order to obtain extra pay. On November 27, 1983,
Hufstetler filed a grievance under the National Master Freight
Agreement, a collective bargaining agreement between appellee and
Teamsters Local Union No. 528, claiming that he had been fired in
retaliation for his repeated safety-related requests for repairs to
his truck. The grievance proceeded to arbitration in accordance with
the agreement. The first arbitration panel was unable to reach a
decision on the grievance; the second arbitration panel rejected
Hufstetler's claim on January 30, 1984. J.S. App. 1a-2a, 21a; J.A.
40-76, 91-92.
Hufstetler filed a complaint with the Secretary of Labor on
February 7, 1984, alleging that he had been discharged in violation of
Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act because he
was discharged in retaliation for his requests for safety repairs.
The Secretary notified appellee of Hufstetler's complaint and began an
investigation of Hufstetler's allegations. J.S. App. 2a, 21a. In the
course of the investigation, appellee was afforded "the opportunity to
fully state and support (its) positions" (J.A. 79). Appellee
submitted a "written position statement with supporting affidavits
explaining the circumstances of (the) discharge" together with a copy
of the arbitration decision. J.A. 93; see also id. at 6. Appellee's
attorney subsequently submitted a letter setting forth appellee's
legal arguments and presented appellee's views orally at a meeting
with Labor Department officials (J.A. 6-7, 93).
The Secretary's 11-month investigation found "credible, independent
evidence" supporting Hufstetler's allegations (J.A. 79). On January
21, 1985, the Secretary concluded that there was reasonable cause to
believe that appellee had discharged Hufstetler in violation of
Section 405 and issued a preliminary order directing appellee to
reinstate Hufstetler (J.S. App. 3a, 20a-23a). The Secretary found that
"(Hufstetler) had a two year history of bringing vehicle safety
problems to the attention of (appellee) and had complained to (the
Department of Transportation) and to elected public officials. These
complaints constitute protected activity under the (Surface
Transportation Assistance) Act" (id. at 22a). The Secretary further
found that "(appellee) had warned (Hufstetler) and threatened to get
him due to his excessive breakdowns due to (Hufstetler's) recognition
of safety violations" and that "(appellee) had threatened to do
anything (it) could to catch (Hufstetler) doing something wrong, to
get rid of him" (id. at 21a, 22a).
With respect to appellee's allegation that Hufstetler had been
dishonest, the Secretary determined that "(appellee's) evidence to
support the discharge is conjecture. (Hufstetler) has presented
evidence to support his innocence" (J.S. App. 21a). Based on these
facts, the Secretary concluded that "(appellee's) termination of
(Hufstetler's) employment was discriminatorily motivated by
(Hufstetler's) protected activity" (id. at 22a), and he ordered
appellee "to immediately offer reinstatement to (Hufstetler)," to
compensate Hufstetler with back pay, and "to expunge from
(Hufstetler's) personnel records any adverse references to his
discharge or any protected activity" (id. at 23a).
3. On February 1, 1985 -- 11 days after the Secretary's issuance of
the preliminary order -- appellee commenced this action in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, seeking an
injunction against the enforcement of the Secretary's order and a
declaratory judgment that the Secretary's order was unconstitutional.
Appellee claimed that the issuance of the reinstatement order without
a prior "evidentiary hearing" violated its due process rights (J.A.
9-10). The district court issued a preliminary injunction barring
enforcement of the Secretary's reinstatement order (J.S. App.
11a-19a). /6/
On November 18, 1985, the district court issued an order granting
appellee's motion for summary judgment (J.A. App. 1a-10a). The court
declared Section 405(c)(2)(A) "unconstitutional and void to the extent
that it empowers (appellants) to order reinstatement of discharged
employees prior to conducting an evidentiary hearing" (J.S. App. 9a).
Accordingly, the court entered a permanent injunction "restrain(ing)
and enjoin(ing) (appellants) from further issuance of preliminary
orders of reinstatement * * * without first conducting an evidentiary
hearing which complies with the minimum requirements of procedural due
process" (ibid.). /7/
The district court observed that in order to ascertain the
requirements of due process it is necessary to consider "the private
interest affected by the government's action; the risk of an
erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used;
and, the government's interest, including the function involved and
the administrative and fiscal burdens that the additional procedural
requirement would entail" (J.S. App. 6a). The court found that
appellee had "important interests in not being compelled to reinstate
an employee discharged for wrongful conduct and in upholding the
arbitration provisions of its bargaining agreement" (ibid.).
The court further found that "the procedures used by (the
Department of Labor) were inherently unreliable, inasmuch as they did
not provide any means for resolving disputed issues of fact and
credibility. An evidentiary hearing, prior to mandatory
reinstatement, would clearly strengthen the reliability of the
procedures and the ultimate decision, and hedge against the risk of
erroneous deprivation" (J.S. App. 8a (citation omitted)). The court
also noted that the Secretary "failed to make available the names and
statements of witnesses upon which (the) decision was based" (id. at
7a).
With respect to the government's interest, the court concluded that
"(a)lthough the governmental interests in promoting safety on the
highways and prohibiting retaliatory discharge are indeed valid, (the
Department of Labor) has failed to show any compelling considerations
which necessitate postponing the hearing" (J.A. App. 8a). It found
that "the administrative or fiscal burdens attendant to such a hearing
prior to reinstatement would be negligible" because the statute
already provides for a post-reinstatement hearing (ibid.).
Weighing these considerations, the court found that the temporary
reinstatement procedures set forth in the statute failed to provide
employers with a "meaningful opportunity to be heard" (J.S. App.9a).
The court concluded that the requirements of due process could be
satisfied only through a prereinstatement "evidentiary hearing" at
which the employer is afforded "at minimum, an opportunity to present
his side and a chance to confront and cross examine witnesses" (id. at
8a-9a).
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
This case concerns a challenge under the Due Process Clause of the
Fifth Amendment to an essential element of a statute enacted by
Congress to maintain and improve highway safety. Congress concluded
that its safety program should encourage motor carrier employees to
report violations of federal highway safety standards. It therefore
enacted Section 405 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of
1982, which expressly prohibits discharge, discipline, or
discrimination in retaliation for an employee's safety-related
activities. In order to alleviate employees' fears of interim losses
of jobs on account of safety complaints, the statute further provides
that an employee who alleges that he was discharged in violation of
Section 405 must be reinstated on a temporary basis, without a prior
evidentiary hearing, if the Secretary finds reasonable cause to
believe that the discharge was in fact retaliatory.
Before issuing such a temporary reinstatement order, the Secretary
affords the employer notice and an opportunity to present evidence and
state his views. In addition, Section 405 provides for a prompt
postreinstatement evidentiary hearing regarding the legality of the
discharge. Despite these procedural protections, however, the
district court held that Section 405 violates the Due Process Clause.
The court concluded that the Constitution prohibits the temporary
reinstatement remedy created by Congress because an evidentiary
hearing must be conducted before the issuance of a reinstatement
order. That determination not only ignores settled principles of
deference to legislative determinations in assessing the
constitutionality of an Act of Congress, it also reflects a
fundamental misunderstanding of this Court's decisions interpreting
the Due Process Clause and of Congress's objectives in enacting
Section 405.
This Court has considered in a variety of contexts the question
whether the Due Process Clause requires that an evidentiary hearing be
held prior to a temporary deprivation of property when a full
post-deprivation hearing is provided under the relevant statutory
scheme. The "ordinary principle" established by this Court's
decisions is that due process is satisfied by "something less than an
evidentiary hearing * * * prior to adverse administrative action"
(Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 343 (1976)). In only one case,
Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970), has the Court required a full
adversarial hearing before an initial deprivation of property, and the
"crucial factor" in that case was that an erroneous decision would
deprive an eligible welfare recipient of "the means to obtain
essential food, clothing, housing, and medical care" (397 U.S. at 264
(footnote omitted)). An employer plainly would not suffer such
drastic adverse consequences as a result of the issuance of a
temporary reinstatement order; and, although the court below ignored
this interest, the employee would suffer serious consequences if he is
discharged for a lengthy period for a reason ultimately found to be
unlawful. Under these circumstances, due process requires at most
that the employer be provided with notice and an informal opportunity
to respond prior to the issuance of the temporary order.
An assessment of the specific interests relevant to the due process
inquiry confirms this conclusion. The employer's private interest is
relatively insubstantial because an employer required to pay the wages
of a reinstated employee receives the benefits of the employee's
labor. Although the employer does suffer some reduction in his
control over his workforce by virtue of the temporary nullification of
his decision to discharge one of his employees, the significance of
this consideration is reduced by the fact that the employer's control
of the workforce already is limited by statute and employment
contracts. Thus, the interest of the employer affected by the
temporary order simply is not substantial.
On the other hand, the governmental interest implicated by the
temporary reinstatement order is quite weighty. The order furthers
the government's interest in promoting public safety by encouraging
motor carrier employees to engage in safety-related conduct. The
court below failed to recognize that the threat of a lengthy temporary
discharge could be a substantial deterrent to safety complaints. But
the increased delay in obtaining reinstatement for wrongfully
discharged employees that would result from the elimination of the
temporary reinstatement remedy undoubtedly would reduce employees'
willingness to engage in safety-related activity. Requiring the
Secretary to afford employers an evidentiary hearing before issuing a
reinstatement order thus would reduce the effectiveness of Congress's
safety program.
Finally, the procedures utilized by the Secretary of Labor in
determining whether to issue a temporary reinstatement order under
Section 405 significantly reduce the risk of erroneous determinations.
The notice and opportunity to respond provided to employers --
together with the requirement that the Secretary find "reasonable
cause to believe" that the discharge was unlawful (49 U.S.C. App.
2305(c)(2)(A)) -- serve as the "initial check against mistaken
decisions" generally required by this Court in connection with
temporary deprivations of property (Cleveland Board of Education v.
Loudermill, No. 83-1362 (Mar. 19, 1985), slip op. 12).
The district court erroneously concluded that an evidentiary
hearing is always required to resolve disputed issues of fact in the
temporary deprivation context. Even where factual disputes are
involved, this Court has rarely concluded that the risk of an
erroneous decision is so great as to require the government to stay
its hand pending an evidentiary hearing. Notice and an opportunity to
respond are all that is necessary to provide a sufficient check
against erroneous decisionmaking. Since the procedures followed by
the Secretary under Section 405 plainly satisfy that standard, the
temporary reinstatement remedy should be upheld.
ARGUMENT
THE TEMPORARY REINSTATEMENT REMEDY SET FORTH IN SECTION 405(c) DOES
NOT VIOLATE THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE
The guarantee of procedural due process contained in the Fifth
Amendment requires the government to treat an individual with
fundamental fairness when it deprives him of his liberty or his
property. Walters v. National Association of Radiation Survivors, No.
84-571 (June 28, 1985), slip op. 14; Lassiter v. Department of Social
Services, 452 U.S. 18, 24-25 (1981). Like "fundamental fairness"
itself, a term "whose meaning can be as opaque as its importance is
lofty" (Lassiter, 452 U.S. at 24), procedural due process is "not a
technical conception with a fixed content unrelated to time, place and
circumstances" (Cafeteria & Restaurant Workers Union v. McElroy, 367
U.S. 886, 895 (1961)). Rather, due process is a "flexible concept,"
with the procedural requirements mandated by the Constitution
depending upon the specific circumstances of the particular
deprivation of liberty or property. Walters v. National Association
of Radiation Survivors, slip op. 14; see also Lassiter, 452 U.S. at
24, 31; Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 334 (1976).
This constitutional guarantee does not, of course, apply to every
situation in which an individual is affected adversely by government
action. The threshold question in assessing any claim that the
government has failed to provide the requisites of procedural due
process is whether the challenged government action deprived the
claimant of a liberty or property interest that is protected by the
Due Process Clause. Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill, No.
83-1362 (Mar. 19, 1985), slip op. 4-5; Board of Regents v. Roth, 408
U.S. 564, 576-578 (1972).
Appellee had a contractual right to discharge its employees for
cause. /8/ Although the power of Congress to regulate in this area is
very broad, we do not dispute that appellee's right to discharge
constitutes a property interest protected by the Due Process Clause
and that the Secretary's order -- had it gone into effect -- would
have deprived appellee of this interest by requiring the reinstatement
of an employee previously discharged by appellee. /9/
"Once it is determined that due process applies, the question
remains what process is due" (Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471, 481
(1972)). The "fundamental requirement of due process is the
opportunity to be heard 'at a meaningful time and in a meaningful
manner.'" Mathews, 424 U.S. at 333, quoting Armstrong v. Manzo, 380
U.S. 545, 552 (1965); see also Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank &
Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 313 (1950). As we have discussed (see pages
5-6), Section 405 provides employers such as appellee with several
opportunities to be heard in connection with the assessment of the
legality of a discharge. In the course of the investigation of an
employee's complaint, the employer is given an opportunity to respond
to the employee's charges and present witnesses and documentary
evidence in support of its position. If the Secretary of Labor finds
reasonable cause to believe that the discharge violated the statute,
the employer may request a "hearing on the record," which "shall be
expeditiously conducted" (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(A)). /10/
Appellee contends that these procedures are inadequate under the
Constitution, however, because an evidentiary hearing should be
conducted before an employer may be required to reinstate a previously
discharged employee, even when the reinstatement is on a temporary
basis subject to the outcome of a later evidentiary hearing. Thus,
the sole question before the Court in this case is whether Congress's
remedy of temporary reinstatement prior to the evidentiary hearing
comports with the requirements of the Due Process Clause in the
present circumstances.
The Court long has recognized that "(j)udging the constitutionality
of an Act of Congress is properly considered '"the gravest and most
delicate duty that this Court is called upon to perform."'" Walters,
slip op. 13, quoting Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. 57, 64 (1981)
(citation omitted). The starting point in undertaking this task is
"the strong presumption in favor of the validity of congressional
action" (Schweiker v. McClure, 456 U.S. 188, 200 (1982)), which rests
on the fact that Congress's adoption of the statute constitutes the
"duly enacted and carefully considered decision of a coequal and
representative branch of our Government." Walters, slip op. 13; see
also Rostker v. Goldberg, 453 U.S. at 64.
Moreover, "(t)his deference to congressional judgment must be
afforded even though the claim is that a statute Congress has enacted
effects a denial of the procedural due process guaranteed by the Fifth
Amendment" (Walters, slip op. 14). In view of the flexible nature of
the requirements of due process, courts should be particularly
receptive to legislative efforts to tailor administrative procedures
to a specific decisional context. As the Court has observed, "(t)he
role of the judiciary is limited to determining whether the procedures
meet the essential standard of fairness under the Due Process Clause
and does not extend to imposing procedures that merely displace
congressional choices of policy. * * * (T)he courts must evaluate the
particular circumstances and determine what procedures would satisfy
the minimum requirements of due process * * *." Landon v. Plasencia,
459 U.S. 21, 34-35 (1982); see also Walters, slip op. 20.
The district court ignored these basic principles of constitutional
adjudication and fundamentally misapplied this Court's decisions
concerning the Due Process Clause in striking down the temporary
reinstatement remedy set forth in Section 405(c). To discover the
requisites of procedural due process, it is necessary to "first
consider() any relevant precedents and then * * * assess() the several
interests that are at stake" in the particular situation (Lassiter v.
Department of Social Services, 452 U.S. at 25). This Court's
decisions regarding temporary deprivations of property and an
evaluation of the specific interests implicated in the present context
establish beyond any doubt that Section 405(c) affords an employer all
of the procedural protection required by the Constitution.
A. The Due Process Clause Almost Never Requires The Government To
Hold An Evidentiary Hearing Before Effecting A Temporary Deprivation
Of Property
This Court has considered in a variety of contexts the question
whether the Due Process Clause requires that an evidentiary hearing be
held prior to a temporary deprivation of property when a full
postdeprivation hearing is provided under the relevant statutory
scheme. The Court has consistently rejected claims that an
evidentiary hearing, complete with an opportunity to confront and
cross-examine witnesses, must be held before the government may
temporarily deprive an individual of his property. The "'ordinary
principle'" established by the Court's decisions is that "'something
less than an evidentiary hearing is sufficient prior to adverse
administrative action.'" Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. 1, 13 (1979)
(citation omitted); see also, Loudermill, slip op. 8-9, 12; Mathews,
424 U.S. at 343.
In Mitchell v. W.T. Grant Co., 416 U.S. 600 (1974), the Court
upheld the constitutionality of a state statute authorizing the
issuance of an ex parte sequestration order that deprived a property
owner of the possession of personal property without any prior notice
or opportunity for a hearing. The statute required the filing of an
affidavit and bond by the party seeking the order and specified that
the order could be issued only by a judge. In addition, the owner of
the property was free to seek the dissolution of the order immediately
after the seizure of the property.
The Court concluded that the statute "effect(ed) a constitutional
accommodation of the conflicting interests of the parties" (416 U.S.
at 607). The creditor was able to protect his security interest by
obtaining control of the property, and the property owner was
protected by the bond posted by the creditor and by the availability
of post-sequestration judicial relief. The Court found that the
statutory procedure established "an acceptable arrangement pendente
lite to put the property in the possession of the party who furnishes
protection against loss or damage to the other pending trial on the
merits" (id. at 618). /11/
In most other situations, the Court has upheld predeprivation
procedures against constitutional challenge as long as the party to be
affected by the government action is provided with notice of the case
against him and "an informal opportunity to tell his side of the
story." Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. at 14; see alo Loudermill, slip
op. 12. This predeprivation hearing "need not definitively resolve
the propriety of the (government action). It should be an initial
check against mistaken decisions -- essentially, a determination of
whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that the charges * * *
are true and support the proposed action." Loudermill, slip op. 12;
see also Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. at 13; Bell v. Burson, 402 U.S.
535, 540 (1971). These limited procedural protections have been found
to be sufficient to satisfy due process because the deprivation of
property is temporary and "prompt postdeprivation review is available
for correction of administrative error." Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S.
at 13; see also Loudermill, slip op. 13-14.
For example, in Barry v. Barchi, 443 U.S. 55 (1979), the Court held
that an evidentiary hearing was not required prior to the temporary
suspension of a horse trainer suspected of complicity in the drugging
of a race horse. The Court stated that "the State is entitled to
impose an interim suspension, pending a prompt judicial or
administrative hearing that would definitely determine the issues,
whenever it has satisfactorily established probable cause to believe
that a horse has been drugged and that a trainer has been at least
negligent in connection with the drugging" (443 U.S. at 64). The
Court held that the finding of the testing official that the horse was
drugged, combined with a state law evidentiary presumption, was
sufficient to establish probable cause. It noted that the trainer
"was given more than one opportunity to present his side of the story
to the State's investigators" (id. at 65), and concluded that these
procedures "sufficed for the purposes of probable cause and interim
suspension" (id. at 66).
The Court has reached the same conclusion in a variety of other
factual settings, holding that notice and an opportunity to respond --
not an evidentiary hearing -- are all that the Constitution requires
prior to a temporary deprivation of property. Loudermill, slip op.
9-12 (employee discharge); Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. at 13-19
(suspension of driver's license); Dixon v. Love, 431 U.S. 105,
112-113 (1977) (same); Mathews, 424 U.S. at 332-349 (termination of
disability benefits); Goss v. Lopez, 419 U.S. 565, 582-584 (1975)
(suspension of student from school); Arnett v. Kennedy, 416 U.S. 134,
170 (1974) (opinion of Powell, J.) (employee discharge); id. at
196-202 (opinion of White, J.); see also McClelland v. Massinga, 786
F.2d 1205, 1210-1216 (4th Cir. 1986) (diversion of tax refund from
taxpayer); Signet Construction Corp. v. Borg, 775 F.2d 486, 489-490
(2d Cir. 1985) (withholding contract payments); cf. Gerstein v. Pugh,
420 U.S. 103, 119-126 (1975) (adversarial hearing not required before
depriving an individual of his liberty prior to trial). /12/
The Court has departed from this settled rule "(i)n only one case,
Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254 (1970), (where) the Court required a
full adversarial evidentiary hearing prior to adverse governmental
action" (Loudermill, slip op. 12). The Court held in Goldberg that a
recipient of welfare benefits must be afforded an evidentiary hearing
prior to the termination of such benefits. The Court stated that "the
crucial factor in this context -- a factor not present in the case of
* * * virtually anyone else whose governmental entitlements are ended
-- is that termination of aid pending resolution of a controversy over
eligibility may deprive an eligible recipient of the very means by
which to live while he waits. Since he lacks independent resources,
his situation becomes immediately desperate" (397 U.S. at 264
(emphasis in original)).
The limited scope of the Court's decision in Goldberg was confirmed
by its determination in Mathews v. Eldridge, supra, that a recipient
of disability benefits is entitled only to notice and an informal
opportunity to respond prior to the termination of his benefits. The
Court found that an evidentiary hearing is not required because the
hardship resulting from an erroneous deprivation of disability
benefits, while "significant," is "likely to be less than that
(imposed upon) a welfare recipient." 424 U.S. at 342; see also
Walters, slip op. 27 ("dispositive" factor in Goldberg was that
welfare recipients depended upon benefit payments "for their daily
subsistence").
This Court's decisions make clear that the temporary reinstatement
remedy at issue in this case does not violate the Constitution.
Goldberg plainly is inapplicable because the consequences of the
temporary restriction upon appellee's right to discharge one of its
employees do not in any way resemble the hardship incurred by a
welfare recipient who is deprived of his benefits. Appellee's
property interest is instead sharply limited. See pages 26-30, infra.
The present case more closely resembles the situation in Mitchell:
the employer and the discharged employee each possess interests in the
"property" at issue -- the discharged employee's job -- and the
question addressed by Section 405 is how to allocate the interim
burden of a disputed discharge pending a final resolution of the
legality of the discharge. The power of Congress to regulate the
surface transportation industry with regard to matters affecting
safety and conditions of employment is, of course, extremely broad.
In view of the offsetting interest of employees in that industry in
not being temporarily discharged for what prove to be unlawful reasons
under federal law, Congress could, we submit, have imposed any
reasonable method of selecting who, as between employer and employee,
will bear the interim burden while the legality of a discharge is
determined. As we discuss below (see pages 47-49), Congress chose an
eminently reasonable method of accommodating these interests when it
enacted Section 405.
Finally, the prereinstatement procedures afforded under Section
405(c) are essentially identical to the process that the Court has
found to be required in connection with temporary deprivations of more
significant property interests. The employer is made aware of the
charges against him and afforded an opportunity to present his side of
the story regarding the discharge; the reinstatement order must be
preceded by a finding of "reasonable cause" to believe that the
employer violated the applicable statutory standard (49 U.S.C. App.
2305(c)(2)(A); and the statute provides a prompt post-deprivation
evidentiary hearing (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(B)). The statute
therefore amply affords employers the procedural protection required
by the Constitution prior to the issuance of a temporary reinstatement
order. A fuller review of the interests implicated by a temporary
reinstatement order confirms the correctness of this conclusion.
B. Consideration Of The Factors Identified By This Court in Mathews
Clearly Demonstrates That The Temporary Reinstatement Remedy Satisfies
The Requirements Of Procedural Due Process
The Court has made clear that "identification of the specific
dictates of due process generally requires consideration of three
distinct factors: First, the private interest that will be affected
by the official action; second, the risk of an erroneous deprivation
of such interest through the procedures used, and the probable value,
if any, of additional or substitute procedural safeguards; and
finally, the Government's interest, including the function involved
and the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or
substitute procedural requirement would entail." Mathews, 424 U.S. at
335; see also Loudermill, slip op. 9. An assessment of these factors
makes clear that the procedures currently followed by the Secretary
provide an employer with all the deprivation process that could
possibly be required in this setting.
1. Appellee's private interest
The property interest affected by a temporary reinstatement order
issued pursuant to Section 405(c) is the employer's right to discharge
an employee for cause. By requiring the employer to reinstate a
previously discharged employee, the order temporarily deprives the
employer of this interest. It is clear, however, that the adverse
consequences of this deprivation of property are extremely limited.
The employer must pay the employee's salary pending a final
determination of the legality of the discharge, but the employer, in
turn, receives "the benefit of the employee's labors" (Loudermill,
slip op. 11). The adverse effect of the deprivation of property is
largely mitigated by the fact that the employer receives value in
return for the funds he is required to expend.
The only adverse consequence actually suffered by an employer is a
reduction in his control over his workforce: he is unable to
discharge an employee who he alleges is unsatisfactory. The district
court noted that "'(p)rolonged retention of a disruptive or otherwise
unsatisfactory employee can adversely affect discipline and morale in
the work place, foster disharmony, and ultimately impair the
efficiency of an office or agency.'" J.S. App. 7a, quoting Southern
Ohio Coal Co. v. Donovan, 774 F.2d 693, 703 (6th Cir. 1985); see also
Arnett v. Kennedy, 416 U.S. at 168 (opinion of Powell, J.).
A reinstatement order obviously does limit an employer's absolute
authority over the workforce, but, in assessing the magnitude of this
consequence, it is important to note that the employer's authority is
already circumscribed in a variety of ways. First, of course, he has
no legal right to discharge an employee for safety complaints;
depending on the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, therefore, a
reinstatement order is either a mere implementation of that
undoubtedly valid prohibition or a temporary restriction while the
necessary determination is made. Other federal statutes forbid an
employer from basing employment decisions upon characteristics such as
race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 42 U.S.C.
2000e-2(a)(1); see also 29 U.S.C. (& Supp. II) 623 (age
discrimination). And appellee's contract with its employees limits
its discharge authority in the same manner as the reinstatement order,
requiring appellee to reinstate an employee when a discharge is
successfully challenged under the contract's arbitration procedures
(J.A. 37-39). Thus, the sole effect of the reinstatement order is to
impose some additional restriction in an area in which appellee
already has lost a considerable degree of control. /13/
The adverse consequences suffered by an employer such as appellee
in this setting are much less significant than the adverse
consequences resulting from virtually all of the temporary
deprivations of property previously considered by this Court. The
Court observed in Goldberg v. Kelly, supra, that the withdrawal of
welfare benefits threatens recipients with the deprivation "of the
very means by which to live" (397 U.S. at 264). The discharge of a
government employee similarly could "depriv(e) (the employee) of the
means of livelihood" (Loudermill, slip op. 9). Other decisions have
involved a license necessary to pursue one's livelihood (Barry v.
Barchi, supra) and a drivers' license, the suspension of which could
cause "personal inconvenience and economic hardship" (Mackey v.
Montrym, 443 U.S. at 11). Each of these government actions thus
threatens the individual subjected to the temporary deprivation of
property with immediate hardship. See Friendly, "Some Kind of
Hearing," 123 U. Pa. L. Rev. 1267, 1295-1304 (1975) (discussing
severity of government action). In terms of hardship, the adverse
consequences to an employee of a wrongful temporary loss of his job
come closer to the Court's past cases than do the consequences to the
employer of a wrongful temporary reinstatement.
An incremental reduction in the employer's control of his
workforce, which involves one employee out of many and may not result
in any adverse economic consequences, cannot be equated with these
situations. The deprivation of property at issue here simply does not
have the significant, life-altering adverse consequences that the
Court has cited in concluding that due process requires specific
procedural protections in connection with temporary deprivations of
property. The present case instead resembles the consequences of the
sequestration order at issue in Mitchell, where the property owner
lost only the control of his property, and was protected to a large
degree against economic loss. See page 20, supra. In view of the
quite minor adverse consequences visited upon an employer as a result
of the temporary deprivation of his property interest, a relatively
small amount of procedural protection should be sufficient to satisfy
due process. /14/ Of course, as we discuss below, even if these
consequences are regarded as the equivalent of the consequences of a
deprivation of these other sorts of property interests, the process
provided by Section 405 is sufficient to satisfy the Constitution.
2. The government's interest
In sharp contrast to the relatively minor nature of the employer's
private interest affected by Section 405(c), the governmental
interests furthered by the temporary reinstatement remedy are
extremely weighty. This Court has observed several times that
government has a "paramount" interest in "preserving the safety of its
public highways." Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. at 17; see also Dixon
v. Love, 431 U.S. at 114. The legislative history of the safety
provisions of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982, which
include the employee protection provision at issue here, establishes
that Congress enacted these provisions in order to promote highway
safety and thereby curb the "increasing number of deaths, injuries,
and property damage due to commercial motor vehicle accidents." 128
Cong. Rec. S15610 (daily ed. Dec. 19, 1982) (summary of safety
provisions submitted by Sen. Danforth). /15/
Evidence before Congress revealed that "(t)ruck and bus accidents
play(ed) a major role in th(e) unacceptable" increase in deaths and
injuries on the nation's highways (S. Rep. 96-547, 96th Cong., 1st
Sess. 3 (1979)). For example, the Department of Transportation
reported a 42% increase in motor carrier accidents resulting in death
or injury between 1975 and 1978, and pointed to a "disturbing trend"
showing that truck accidents were increasing at a rate faster than the
increase in the number of miles traveled by such vehicles. Truck
Safety Act: Hearings on S. 1390 and S. 1400 Before the Senate Comm.
on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, 96th Cong., 1st Sess. 1, 71,
84-85 (1979) (hereinafter cited as Truck Safety Act Hearings). In
1982, truck accidents resulted in over 2,800 deaths, 28,500 injuries,
and $355 million in property damage (128 Cong. Rec. S15609 (daily ed.
Dec. 19, 1982) (remarks of Sen. Danforth)).
Congress found that a major reason for this increase in the danger
on the nation's highways was that "(f)ederal commercial motor vehicle
safety rules (were) being flagrantly ignored" (S. Rep.96-547, supra,
at 3). During a random spot check of commercial trucks by the
Department of Transportation, 44% of all vehicles inspected were
ordered out of service because they were found to have serious safety
violations. Truck Safety Act Hearings 71 (statement of John S.
Hassell, Deputy Administrator, Federal Highway Administration). Large
percentages of safety violations also were detected in the course of
other inspection efforts. Id. at 56, 67 (statement of Sen. Percy);
id. at 82 (statement of John S. Hassell). /16/ Congress concluded
that "(t)his pattern of noncompliance with commercial motor vehicle
safety requirements demonstrates that federal enforcement efforts have
proven ineffective, and this pattern will continue as long as these
violations are likely to go undetected" (S. Rep. 96-547, supra, at 4).
It decided to adopt "a systematic and integrated approach to
remedying the present regulatory deficiencies in the commercial motor
vehicle safety area." Ibid.; see also 128 Cong. Rec. S15610 (daily ed.
Dec. 19, 1982) (remarks of Sen. Danforth).
One important element of this new motor vehicle safety program was
the employee protection provision at issue in this case. Congress
recognized that "employees and others in the commercial motor vehicle
safety area are often in the best position to provide early detection
of safety and health violations. Therefore, the legislation's
complaint investigation and 'whistle-blower' protection provisions are
directed to providing significant assistance to federal enforcement
activities." S. Rep. 96-547, supra, at 4; see also id. at 17; 128
Cong. Rec. S14648 (daily ed. Dec. 14, 1982) (section-by-section
analysis submitted by Sen. Baker) (stating in relation to the employee
protection provision that "(e)nforcement of commercial motor vehicle
safety laws and regulations is possible only through an effort on the
part of employers, employees, State safety agencies, and the
Department of Transportation").
Senator Percy, the original author of the employee protection
provision, explained that employees must be insulated against economic
retaliation if they are to assist in the enforcement of safety
standards: "Because truck drivers are threatened with firing for
cooperating with enforcement agencies, or for refusing to drive
hazardous or overloaded vehicles, they have little choice other than
to comply with their employer's instructions to violate the law. But,
with the 'whistle-blower' protection of this legislation, drivers will
be given the protection to refuse to violate the law." 128 Cong. Rec.
S15769 (daily ed. Dec. 20, 1982); see also 128 Cong. Rec. S15610
(daily ed. Dec. 19, 1982) (summary of safety provisions submitted by
Sen. Danforth) (the anti-retaliation provision "underscore(s) the
strong Congressional policy that persons reporting health and safety
violations should not suffer because of this action").
This Court has affirmed in other contexts the judgment made by
Congress here -- that a program dependent upon the participation of
employees to secure compliance with regulatory standards will be
successful only if employees are protected against economic
retaliation. In Mitchell v. Robert DeMario Jewelry, Inc., 361 U.S.
288 (1960), for example, the Court considered the employee protection
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Observing that Congress
"chose to rely on information and complaints received from employees
seeking to vindicate rights claimed to have been denied," the Court
concluded that "(p)lainly, effective enforcement could * * * only be
expected if employees felt free to approach officials with their
grievances" (361 U.S. at 292). Since "it needs no argument to show
that fear of economic retaliation might often operate to induce
aggrieved employees quietly to accept substandard conditions," the
statute's "proscription of retaliatory acts" served to "foster a
climate in which compliance with the substantive provisions of the Act
would be enhanced." Ibid.; see also NLRB v. Scrivener, 405 U.S. 117,
122 (1972) (citation omitted) (anti-retaliation provision of the
National Labor Relations Act necessary "'to prevent the (government's)
channels of information from being dried up by employer intimidation
of prospective complainants and witnesses'"); Donovan v. Square D
Co., 709 F.2d 335, 338 (5th Cir. 1983) (Occupational Safety and Health
Act); Phillips v. Interior Board of Mine Operations Appeals, 500 F.2d
772, 778-783 (D.C. Cir. 1974), cert. denied, 420 U.S. 938 (1975)
(Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act. /17/
Section 405 similarly encourages employees to report statutory
violations and cooperate in agency investigative efforts by
eliminating the possibility of employer retaliation. The provision
thus plays an important role in furthering the compelling governmental
interest in highway safety.
The district court acknowledged that "the governmental interests in
promoting safety on the highways and prohibiting retaliatory discharge
are indeed valid," but concluded that these interests "would not be
impaired by requiring a hearing prior to reinstatement" (J.S. App.
8a). This determination reflects a serious misunderstanding of the
purpose of the temporary reinstatement remedy designed by Congress.
As a threshold matter, the district court erred by dismissing out
of hand Congress's determination -- reflected in the terms of the
statute -- that a temporary reinstatement remedy is necessary to
further the legislative purpose underlying the statute. Absent
evidentiary support for its contrary determination, the district court
was not free to ignore Congress's judgment that this remedy plays an
important part in furthering the statutory goal by encouraging
employees to come forward with safety complaints. Cf. Walters v.
National Association of Radiation Survivors, slip op. 17.
Moreover, the court wholly failed to appreciate the importance of
temporary reinstatement of an employee who, there is reasonable cause
to believe, has been wrongfully discharged for safety complaints. The
purpose of Section 405 is to provide employees with as much protection
as possible from retaliation by employers so that employees will feel
free to report safety violations. An employee is likely to view the
speed with which he will be reinstated to his previous position as an
important element of this protection. As one truck driver stated in
House committee hearings on the subject of motor carrier safety,
"(t)he promise of back pay years down the road just is not enough
protection when your car has been repossessed, your mortgage
foreclosed, and your marriage broken up in the meantime." Commercial
Motor Carrier Safety: Hearing Before the Subcomm. on Surface
Transportation of the House Comm. on Public Works and Transportation,
96th Cong., 2d Sess. 35 (1980) (statement of Mel Packer); see also
Truck Safety Act Hearings 160-161.
The Court "frequently (has) recognized the severity of depriving a
person of the means of livelihood" (Loudermill, slip op. 9). The
longer the discharged employee remains unemployed, the more
devastating the financial consequences are likely to be. And even if
the discharged employee finds employment elsewhere, he may be forced
to accept a reduced salary because he "is likely to be burdened by the
questionable circumstances under which he left his previous job"
(ibid.). Since the length of the delay prior to reinstatement thus
affects the employee's ability to support himself and his family, it
is likely to be the most significant factor considered by an employee
deciding whether to exercise the rights protected by Section 405.
Congress plainly was concerned about the speed of the remedial
process under Section 405. Its decision to authorize the Secretary of
Labor to consider employees' complaints instead of permitting
employees to commence lawsuits against their employers rested upon the
determination that "(r)edress through the court system is a very
expensive and time-consuming process." 128 Cong. Rec. S14648 (daily
ed. Dec. 14, 1982) (section-by-section analysis submitted by Sen.
Baker); see also B. Rep. 96-547, supra, at 6 (discussing necessity
for "rapid action" by Department of Labor). Congress obviously
determined that an expeditious, temporary remedy also was necessary to
fulfill the provision's purpose of encouraging employees to come
forward with safety-related information.
Requiring the Secretary to afford the employer an evidentiary
hearing before ordering the temporary reinstatement of a discharged
employee would thwart the accomplishment of Congress's purpose by
delaying relief for employees who engage in safety-related activity.
Indeed, the employer would be able to make use of the hearing and any
possible appeal to delay the reinstatement of the employee. Cf.
Mathews, 424 U.S. at 347 ("the fact that full benefits would continue
until after such hearings would assure the exhaustion in most cases of
this attractive option"). Mandating a prereinstatement evidentiary
hearing thus would enable employers to continue to retaliate against
an employee by prolonging the employee's unemployment. Such a vivid
demonstration of the limited nature of the statutory protection
undoubtedly would discourage other employees from engaging in
safety-related actions, chilling the very conduct that Congress sought
to promote when it enacted Section 405. The full force of the
government's compelling interest in highway safety is therefore
implicated by the temporary reinstatement remedy set forth in that
provision.
The district court also ignored the fact that requiring a
prereinstatement evidentiary hearing would impose additional fiscal
and administrative burdens upon the government. See Walters, slip op.
15 & n.9. As we have discussed, employers undoubtedly would request
reinstatement evidentiary hearings in virtually every case, and
"experience with the constitutionalizing of government procedures
suggests that the ultimate additional cost in terms of money and
administrative burden would not be insubstantial." Mathews, 424 U.S.
at 347; see also Dixon v. Love, 431 U.S. at 114. Accordingly, the
government interest in conserving public funds is also relevant in
determining the process that is due in this context.
3. The risk of erroneous deprivation
An assessment of the risk that an employer will be erroneously
deprived of his property interest requires consideration of two
separate factors. First, it is necessary to evaluate the procedures
followed by the Secretary prior to the issuance of a temporary
reinstatement order to ascertain the effectiveness of those procedures
in limiting the risk of an erroneous determination. Second, the value
of the additional procedures proposed by appellee and the district
court must be considered. Of course, "the (Due Process) Clause does
not require that 'the procedures used to guard against an erroneous
deprivation . . . be so comprehensive as to preclude any possibility
of error.'" Walters, slip op. 14-15, quoting Mackey v. Montrym, 443
U.S. at 13. "(W)hen prompt postdeprivation review is available for
correction of administrative error, (the Court has) generally required
no more than that the predeprivation procedures used be designed to
provide a reasonably reliable basis for concluding that the facts
justifying the official action are as a responsible governmental
official warrants them to be" (Mackey, 443 U.S. at 13). This standard
is satisfied by the procedure utilized by the Secretary in the present
context.
The risk that the Secretary will erroneously issue a temporary
reinstatement order is reduced significantly by the procedures that
precede the issuance of such an order. /18/ As soon as a complaint is
received from an employer, an experienced investigator begins a
thorough investigation to determine whether the allegations of the
complaint are supported by independent evidence (J.A. 78-79). The
employer is informed of the allegations of the complaint and of the
substance of the case against him. /19/ The employer is also afforded
a full opportunity to state his position and provide documentary
evidence and oral testimony in support of that position. Ibid; see
also pages 5-6 note 3, supra. Finally, a temporary reinstatement
order is issued only if the Secretary finds credible evidence
establishing "reasonable cause to believe" that the discharge of the
employee was retaliatory (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(A)). /20/
These procedures were followed in the present case (J.A. 79).
First, appellee was notified of the allegations made by employee
Hufstetler. /21/ Second, Labor Department investigators conducted a
thorough 11-month investigation and found "credible, independent
evidence" supporting Hufstetler's claim of retaliatory discharge
(ibid.). Third, appellee submitted a written position statement
explaining the circumstances of the discharge, which was supported by
affidavits from witnesses favorable to appellee (J.A. 6, 79, 93).
Fourth, appellee's attorney submitted a letter setting forth
appellee's legal arguments and orally presented appellee's side of the
story in a meeting with Labor Department officials (J.A. 6-7, 93).
Finally, the Secretary's designee reviewed the evidence and determined
that there was "reasonable cause to believe" that Hufstetler had been
discharged in violation of Section 405 (J.S. App. 20a-23a). These
procedures clearly provided the "initial check against mistaken
decisions" required prior to a temporary deprivation of property.
Loudermill, slip op. 12; see also pages 19-23, 39, supra.
The district court found that the Secretary's prereinstatement
procedures did not sufficiently reduce the risk of an erroneous
decision and concluded that an employer also must be provided with an
evidentiary hearing and the right to confront and cross-examine
witnesses prior to the issuance of a temporary reinstatement order
(J.S. App. 7a-8a). Each of these determinations is incorrect.
The basis for the district court's requirement of a
prereinstatement evidentiary hearing was its conclusion that the
Secretary's procedures "were inherently unreliable, inasmuch as they
did not provide any means for resolving disputed issues of fact and
credibility" (J.S. App. 8a). However, even where the propriety of a
temporary deprivation of property turns upon a factual dispute, this
Court's decisions do not require the government to stay its hand
pending the conclusion of an evidentiary hearing. In Loudermill, for
example, the Court found that notice and an opportunity to be heard
satisfied due process even though dismissals of employees for cause
"often involve factual disputes" and the propriety of the discharge at
issue in that case turned upon a credibility determination -- the
"subjective question whether (the employee) had lied on his
application form" (slip op. 9, 10 & n.9).
Similarly, in Barry v. Barchi, supra, the trainer's assertion that
he was not negligent in connection with the drugging of the race horse
raised an issue regarding both his own credibility and the reliability
of the evidence against him, but the Court did not require an
evidentiary hearing prior to the temporary license suspension (443
U.S. at 64-66). Thus, the Court has already concluded that a
predeprivation evidentiary hearing is not always necessary "to resolve
questions of credibility or conflicts in the evidence" (Mackey v.
Montrym, 443 U.S. at 15). /22/
The Court's conclusion in Goldberg v. Kelly, supra, that an
evidentiary hearing is required prior to the termination of welfare
benefits did rest in part upon the observation that "written
submissions are a wholly unsatisfactory basis for decision" when
"credibility and veracity are at issue" (397 U.S. at 269). But the
Court did not rely solely upon that rationale in requiring an
evidentiary hearing. It also found that written submissions "are an
unrealistic option for most (welfare) recipients, who lack the
educational attainment necessary to write effectively and who cannot
obtain professional assistance," and that a welfare recipient could
not present his position "secondhand through his caseworker" because
"the caseworker usually gathers the facts upon which the charge of
ineligibility rests" (ibid.).
The justifications that supported the Goldberg Court's
determination simply do not apply in the present context. First,
employers such as appellee do not in any way resemble welfare
recipients who cannot "write effectively" or "obtain professional
assistance." The present case demonstrates that appellee, which is one
of the nation's largest trucking concerns (J.A. 80), is able to obtain
high caliber professional assistance in presenting its views.
Second, the Court's general observations regarding the
disadvantages of written submissions in a case that involves
credibility determinations are irrelevant here because appellee was
not limited to submitting written evidence. The Secretary's written
guidelines for the investigation of employee complaints direct
Department of Labor investigators to ask the employer to identify
favorable witnesses, who then may be interviewed by the investigator.
The employer is also permitted to state its position for the
investigator. OSHA Instruction DIS.4A, at V5-V6 (Aug. 26, 1985); see
also pages 5-6 note 3, supra. Thus, the employer is not precluded
from presenting oral testimony that is relevant to the legality of the
discharge.
Third, in the present context, unlike the situation involving
welfare recipients, there is no reason to require direct presentation
of this oral evidence to the decisionmaker. The complaint under
Section 405 is filed by the employee, not the Secretary of Labor. The
Labor Department investigator is charged with gathering all relevant
facts and acts essentially as the agent of the decisionmaker. Thus,
unlike a welfare caseworker, who the Court in Goldberg indicated might
be biased against the recipient because he had prepared the charge of
ineligibility (397 U.S. at 269), the Labor Department investigator has
no prior involvement suggesting any reason why he would not accurately
convey to the decisionmaker the evidence presented by the employer's
witnesses. /23/
Finally, the Secretary's determination is, of course, only
preliminary; an evidentiary hearing is held prior to a final decision
regarding the legality of the discharge. Indeed, the ultimate factual
issue in this case -- ascertaining the reasons for the discharge of an
employee -- is identical to the ultimate issue in cases involving due
process challenges to the termination of government employees. Since
an evidentiary hearing is not necessary before making a preliminary
determination in the latter context (see Loudermill, slip op. 12), it
similarly should not be required to ensure the accuracy of a
preliminary determination in the present setting.
The district court noted that the Secretary did not "make available
(to appellee) the names and statements of witnesses upon which its
decision was based" (J.S. App. 7a) and appellee appears to argue that
the Secretary should be obligated to disclose this information prior
to the issuance of the temporary reinstatement order, even if the
evidentiary hearing is not held until after the issuance of the order
(Mot. to Aff. 4, 11). However, there is no basis for the contention
that appellee was entitled to this information in advance of the
post-reinstatement evidentiary hearing.
At the outset, making this information available to the employer
would contribute only marginally to the accuracy of the preliminary
determination. Since the employer will be aware of the employee's
charges and the substance of the evidence supporting the charges, the
only conceivable purpose that could be served by disclosure of the
witnesses' statements and identities is to permit the employer more
easily to discredit these witnesses. Deferring such challenges until
the evidentiary hearing will not undercut the accuracy of the
preliminary determination because, even at the preliminary stage,
credibility challenges can be based upon the employer's rebuttal of
the substance of the witness's testimony. See Friendly, supra, 123 U.
Pa. L. Rev. at 1286 (suppression of the names of witnesses and
curtailment of access to adverse evidence is permissible when "the
decision is preliminary").
Moreover, disclosure of a witness's identity at this early stage of
the proceeding presents a very real threat to the integrity of the
complaint investigation process. Common sense suggests that the very
retaliation and coercion that Congress sought to prevent in enacting
Section 405 could be directed against employees who support a
discharged employee's retaliation claim. In NLRB v. Robbins Tire &
Rubber Co., 437 U.S. 214 (1978), the Court recognized this possibility
in a related context. It held that witness statements in a pending
unfair labor practice proceeding are exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act because of the risk that unions or
employees "will coerce or intimidate employees and others who have
given statements, in an effort to make them change their testimony or
not testify at all." 437 U.S. at 239; see also Cuccaro v. Secretary
of Labor, 770 F.2d 355, 359-360 (3d Cir. 1985) (upholding
nondisclosure of names of witnesses in OSHA investigation for similar
reasons); L & C Marine Transport, Ltd. v. United States, 740 F.2d
919, 921-925 (11th Cir. 1984) (same); cf. Wolff v. McDonnell, 418
U.S. 539, 567-569 (1974) (holding that confrontation and
cross-examination of witnesses are not required in context of a prison
disciplinary proceeding because of the "high risk of reprisal" and the
danger that the witness "may refuse to testify or admit any knowledge
of the situation in question"). /24/
The employer will, of course, learn the identity of the witness in
the pre-hearing exchange of witness lists or when the witness takes
the stand at the post-reinstatement evidentiary hearing. /25/
Maintaining the confidentiality of the witness's identity prevents the
employer from taking coercive action designed to deter the witness
from testifying at the hearing. Disclosure of this information, on
the other hand, is not likely to have a measurable effect on the
accuracy of the preliminary determination. For these reasons,
disclosure of witnesses' statements and identities should not be
required in the preliminary stage of the proceeding.
4. Balance of the factors
The foregoing discussion makes clear that Section 405 provides an
employer with all the prereinstatement process that is required by the
Due Process Clause. The governmental interest furthered by the
temporary reinstatement remedy is the compelling interest in promoting
highway safety, which is no less weighty than the governmental
interests implicated in this Court's previous cases. The private
interest of the employer that is affected by the temporary order, on
the other hand, is not very significant and is offset by the
employee's interest in not being temporarily discharged for what may
prove to be an improper reason. A balancing of the interests
therefore indicates that only minimal procedural protections should be
required prior to the issuance of a temporary reinstatement order.
The procedures followed by the Secretary are plainly sufficient to
satisfy this requirement. Indeed, it is settled that the government
may terminate an employee's interest in continued employment after
affording the employee notice and an opportunity to respond
(Loudermill, slip op. 9-11); the same process therefore must be
sufficient to protect the employer's less weighty interest in removing
unsatisfactory employees.
At bottom, the question in this case is whether Congress acted
reasonably in determining that an employer subject to the requirements
of Section 405 -- rather than the discharged employee -- should bear
the expenses associated with a disputed discharge, pending a final
dispositon of the merits of the claim, where the Secretary's
preliminary view is that there is reasonable cause to believe the
employee's side of the story. In view of the significantly smaller
economic burden that is imposed upon the employer, and the importance
to the success of the highway safety program of affording strong
anti-retaliation protection, Congress's judgment should be upheld.
Cf. Usery v. Turner Elkhorn Mining Co., 428 U.S. 1, 15 (1976)
(discussing Congress's preeminent authority to "adjust() the burdens
and benefits of economic life").
Of course, "(t)he duration of any potentially wrongful deprivation
of a property interest is an important factor in assessing the impact
of official action on the private interest involved." Mackey v.
Montrym, 443 U.S. at 12; see also Loudermill, slip op. 13 ("(a)t some
point, a delay in the (postdeprivation) hearing would become a
constitutional violation"). Here, Section 405 itself provides the
necessary post-reinstatement procedural protections. It states that
the post-reinstatement hearing "shall be expeditiously conducted," and
sets a time limit for the issuance of a final order. 49 U.S.C. App.
2305(c)(2)(A); see also page 6 and note 4, supra.
The Court has indicated that even if a statute provides for a
prompt post-deprivation hearing and the statutory scheme therefore
complies with due process, the delay in a particular case may amount
to a violation of due process. Loudermill, slip op. 13; Barry v.
Barchi, 443 U.S. at 66. There is no occasion to consider the
permissibility of the delay in the present case because appellee never
was subjected to a deprivation of property -- enforcement of the
Secretary's order was enjoined by the district court. Accordingly,
appellee cannot complain that its due process rights were violated by
the length of the delay in issuing a final order. /26/
CONCLUSION
The judgment of the district court should be reversed.

/1/ The statute defines a "commercial motor vehicle" as a vehicle
used "principally to transport passengers or cargo" that has a weight
rating of ten thousand or more pounds, is designed to transport more
than ten persons, or is used to transport hazardous materials. 49
U.S.C. App. 2301(1).
/2/ The Secretary has delegated his authority under Section 405 to
the Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health, who, in
turn, has delegated this authority to the Regional Administrators of
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
/3/ The Secretary has adopted detailed written procedures governing
the investigation of complaints filed by employees under Section 405.
The current version of these procedures requires the Labor Department
investigator to interview the complainant and encourage the
complainant to identify witnesses who can support his allegations.
The investigator must also "contact the (employer), notify the
(employer) of the substance of the complaint and arrange to meet with
the (employer) or its counsel to interview the appropriate witnesses."
OSHA Instruction DIS.4A, at V5 (Aug. 26, 1985). The written
procedures emphasize that the investigator should obtain evidence
corroborating the complainant's allegations, secure the employer's
response to the allegations, and attempt to corroborate the employer's
response (id. at V5-V7). The procedures in effect at the time of the
events in this case similarly required the investigator to consult
with the employer. OSHA Instruction CPL 2.45A CH-4, at X5 (Mar. 8,
1984); OSHA Instruction DIS.6, at 4, 8-9 (Dec. 12, 1983); OSHA
Investigation Manual at V1, V13-V14 (1979). We have lodged copies of
these written procedures with the Clerk of this Court and served a
copy of the procedures upon counsel for appellee.
/4/ The Secretary has interpreted the statute to require the
issuance of a final order within 120 days after the ALJ's issuance of
his recommended decision.
/5/ If neither the employer nor the employee requests a hearing,
"the preliminary order (is) deemed a final order which is not subject
to judicial review" (49 U.S.C. App. 2305(c)(2)(A)).
/6/ Appellee also filed objections to the Secretary's findings and
a request for an on-the-record hearing pursuant to 49 U.S.C. App.
2305(c)(2)(A). The hearing was held before an administrative law
judge on March 26-29, 1985, and the ALJ issued his recommended
decision and order on October 30, 1985 (J.S. App. 29a-43a). The ALJ
observed that Hufstetler had filed numerous safety-related complaints
(id. at 32a-35a, 39a-41a) and found that "(t)he record is replete with
many statements by (appellee's) supervisors demonstrating their animus
toward (Hufstetler) as a result (of) his engaging in protected
activities. The issuance of warning letters to (Hufstetler), while
other employees were not reprimanded for similar acts, and the
acrimonious statements cause the conclusion that the discharge had a
retaliatory motive" (id. at 41a). The ALJ further found that the
evidence did not indicate that Hufstetler was discharged for a reason
other than his safety-related activities (id. at 41a-42a). The ALJ's
recommended decision is pending before the Secretary; appellee has
raised a number of objections to the ALJ's recommended decision. See
Mot. to Aff. 5-6 n.4, A1-A9.
/7/ The district court also held that appellee was not required to
exhaust its administrative remedies (J.S. App. 4a-5a), that the
controversy between the parties was not moot (id. at 5a), and that the
district court did not lack jurisdiction over appellee's claim
(ibid.). We have not sought review of these determinations.
/8/ The contract between appellee and its employees indicates that
appellee generally is free to terminate an employee for just cause so
long as the employee has received at least one warning notice.
Discharges for dishonesty and certain other infractions need not be
preceded by a warning. J.A. 37-39.
/9/ We also note, as the court below failed to do, that there is a
competing private interest -- that of the employee in not being
wrongfully discharged (see pages 33-38, infra).
/10/ The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act governing
adjudications apply to the conduct of such hearings. 5 U.S.C. 554(a)
(providing that such requirements apply "in every case of an
adjudication required by statute to be determined on the record after
opportunity for an agency hearing"). Thus, an employer is entitled to
an independent hearing examiner, use of oral and documentary evidence,
cross-examination of adverse witnesses, and other trial-type
procedures (5 U.S.C. 556, 557).
/11/ Ex parte proceedings also are permissible where "swift action
is necessary to protect the public health and safety." Hodel v.
Virginia Surface Mining & Reclamation Ass'n, 452 U.S. 264, 301 (1981)
(upholding the issuance of orders requiring the immediate closure of
surface mining operations under the Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act of 1977); see also Ewing v. Mytinger & Casselberry,
339 U.S. 594, 599-602 (1950) (summary seizure under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act of misbranded goods is permissible where there
is probable cause to believe that the misbranding is fraudulent or
would result in injury or damage to the purchaser or user); North
American Cold Storage Co. v. City of Chicago, 211 U.S. 306, 313-321
(1908) (upholding the seizure and destruction of unwholesome food
products under a municipal ordinance without any prior notice or
hearing). Predeprivation notice and a hearing also are not required
in other circumstances in which predeprivation procedures are not
feasible. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517 (1984); Parratt v.
Taylor, 451 U.S. 527 (1981).
/12/ Appellee argues (Mot. to Aff. 10-13) that the Court has
concluded that these predeprivation procedures satisfy due process
only where the administrative decision does "not turn on resolving
disputed questions of fact, credibility, or veracity" (id. at 11).
That assertion is incorrect. In Loudermill, for example, the Court
observed that the propriety of the dismissal of the government
employee "turned not on (an) objective fact * * *, but on the
subjective question whether (the employee) had lied on his application
form." Slip op. 10 n.9; see also Barry, 443 U.S. at 65-66
(evidentiary hearing not required despite factual dispute regarding
trainer's negligence in connection with drugging of race hose);
Mackey v. Montrym, 443 U.S. at 15 ("even when disputes as to the
historical facts do arise, we are not persuaded that the risk of error
inherent in the statute's initial reliance on the representations of
the reporting officer is so substantial in itself as to require that
the (government) stay its hand pending the outcome of any evidentiary
hearing necessary to resolve questions of credibility or conflicts in
the evidence"); page 42, infra.
/13/ Appellee suggests (Mot. to Aff. 8 n.6) that a reinstatement
order would interfere with other "private property interests" because
"it (would have) the effect of displacing employees junior to the
complainant on the seniority roster and bumping an employee to lay-off
status." Of course, a temporary reinstatement order does not require
an employer to lay off an employee; any such layoff is a result of
the employer's own choice and cannot be characterized as a necessary
consequence of the reinstatement order, especially in a company the
size of appellee. Moreover, an employee hired after the challenged
discharge takes his position subject to being displaced as a result of
the rehiring of his predecessor (J.A. 82). The reinstatement order
accordingly does not disrupt his expectations.
Appellee also observes (Mot. to Aff. 8 n.6) that the reinstatement
order "had the effect of upsetting an arbitration decision rendered
under the collective bargaining agreement which had sustained the * *
* discharge." But this is simply another way of stating that the order
deprived appellee of its right to fire its employee; if the
arbitration decision had overturned the discharge, appellee would have
been required to reinstate its employee and the reinstatement order
would have been unnecessary. The existence of the arbitration decision
thus adds nothing to the analysis. Moreover, the arbitration decision
rejecting the employee's claim clearly did not bar the Secretary from
considering the complaint challenging the discharge. See McDonald v.
City of West Branch, 466 U.S. 284 (1984) (arbitration decision finding
that discharge was supported by just cause does not bar employee from
challenging discharge under 42 U.S.C. 1983); Barrentine v.
Arkansas-Best Freight System, 450 U.S. 728, 745-746 (1981)
(unfavorable arbitration decision does not bar subsequent suit based
on the same facts alleging violation of Fair Labor Standards Act);
Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co., 415 U.S. 36 (1974) (adverse
arbitration decision does not bar employee from challenging discharge
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and federal court
need not defer to arbitrator's decision).
/14/ Appellee argues (Mot. to Aff. 15) that "(t)he period of time
that an employer would be required to have a reinstated individual on
its payroll is a factor to be considered in measuring the weight of
the private property interest." As we have discussed (see page 6), the
statute imposes limitations upon the amount of time that the temporary
order would remain in effect; these time limits comport with those
that the Court previously has found permissible. See Loudermill, slip
op. 13 (nine months); Mathews, 424 U.S. at 342 (10-11 months). The
particular delay in this case is irrelevant because the "very nature
of the due process inquiry indicates that the fundamental fairness of
a particular procedure does not turn on the result obtained in any
individual case; rather, 'procedural due process rules are shaped by
the risk of error inherent in the truth-finding process as applied to
the generality of cases, not the rare exceptions.'" Walters, slip op.
15, quoting Mathews, 424 U.S. at 344; see also Parham v. J.R., 442
U.S. 584, 612-613 (1979). Appellee has not shown that the length of
delay in this case is typical of Section 405(c) proceedings generally.
See also page 49, infra. Finally, the length of time obviously also
affects the burden on the employee, should his claim of unlawful
discharge be vindicated.
/15/ The safety provisions contained in the 1982 statute are
virtually identical to provisions contained in a bill that was passed
by the Senate in 1980, but died in the House of Representatives. See
S. 1390, 96th Cong. 2d Sess. (1980). The legislative history of the
1982 statute makes clear that the 1980 bill -- and a 1978 bill that
was the predecessor of the 1980 bill -- were the sources of the 1982
provisions. See 128 Cong. Rec. S15609 (daily ed. Dec. 19, 1982)
(remarks of Sen. Danforth); id. at S14018-S14019 (daily ed. Dec. 7,
1982); see also Highway Revenue Act of 1982: Hearing on S. 3044
Before the Senate Comm. on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, 97th
Cong., 2d Sess. 45 (1982) (statement of R.V. Durham) (suggesting
incorporation of provisions of S. 1390 into the 1982 bill). The
legislative histories of these earlier measures therefore are relevant
in analyzing Congress's purpose in enacting the 1982 statute.
/16/ In hearings on the 1978 truck safety bill, Senator Cannon, the
chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, noted that "one-third of
the 54,800 trucks and buses inspected by Federal personnel during 1974
and 1975 were unsafe and taken off the road until repaired." Truck
Safety Act of 1978: Hearing on S. 2970 Before the Senate Comm. on
Commerce, Science, and Transportation, 95th Cong., 2d Sess. 1 (1978)
(statement of Sen. Cannon); see also id. at 2 (54% of vehicles
stopped on the basis of visual inspection were ordered out of service
until violations were corrected because "in the judgment of the
inspectors (the violations) were likely to cause accidents"); id. at
28-33 (summary of results of Department of Transportation roadside
safety inspection).
/17/ The fact that the reinstatement remedy "'operate(s) to confer
an incidental benefit on private persons does not detract from (its)
public purpose'" (Donovan v. Square D Co., 709 F.2d at 338 (citation
omitted)). Rather, "(w)hile remedial, th(e) provision operates
primarily toward furthering the public statutory goals" (ibid.).
/18/ Appellee refers several times to an "ex parte decision-making
process" (Mot. to Aff. 8, 14), even though the Secretary's written
procedures require that an employer be given notice of the charges
against it and an opportunity to present its views. Appellee may be
arguing that only the provisions of the statute -- and not the
procedures utilized by the Secretary in deciding whether to issue the
temporary reinstatement order -- may be considered in evaluating the
constitutionality of the process afforded under Section 405. That
position is plainly incorrect. In Barry v. Barchi, supra, for
example, the Court concluded that the requirements of due process were
satisfied by the informal procedures utilized in issuing the interim
suspension of the trainer, even though these procedures were not
specified in the statute (443 U.S. at 60-61 n.8, 65-66).
/19/ The Secretary's procedures specifically provide that the
employer must be informed of the allegations of the complaint. OSHA
Instruction DIS.4A, at V5 (Aug. 26, 1985). Although the procedures do
not in terms require the Labor Department investigator to inform the
employer of the substance of the evidence supporting the employee's
allegations, that requirement is implicit in the investigator's
obligation to obtain the employer's response to those allegations.
The Department of Labor informs us that the practice followed by its
investigators is to inform the employer of the substance of the
evidence supporting the employee's allegations.
/20/ The evidence is reviewed by several Labor Department officials
before a temporary reinstatement order is issued. The investigator,
the supervisory investigator, a representative of the Office of the
Solicitor of Labor, and the Regional Administrator each consider the
sufficiency of the evidence developed in the investigation. J.A.
93-94.
/21/ The record does not indicate whether appellee was informed of
the substance of the evidence supporting the allegations. Appellee's
reference (Mot. to Aff. 4) to "secret evidence gathered during the
investigation from unknown parties" rings somewhat hollow, however, in
view of the fact that the prior arbitration proceeding enabled
appellee to become familiar with all of the circumstances relevant to
the propriety of the discharge. Indeed, a comparison between the
relevant portion of the temporary reinstatement order (J.S. App.
21a-22a) and the record of the arbitration proceeding (J.A. 40-76)
indicates that the factors that influenced the Secretary had been
brought out during that proceeding. Appellee therefore cannot claim
that it was denied due process because it was not informed of the
evidence supporting Hufstetler's allegations.
/22/ Appellee's argument to the contrary (Mot. to Aff. 10-13) is
simply incorrect. The portion of Justice Brennan's concurring and
dissenting opinion cited by appellee (id. at 13) in support of its
assertion that Loudermill did not involve a factual dispute appears to
conflict with the majority's view of the case. Moreover, appellee
erroneously states that Barry involved a statute holding a trainer "to
the standard of an 'insurer'" (Mot. to Aff. 12). In fact, the statute
simply established an evidentiary presumption that the trainer was
free to rebut (443 U.S. at 59 & n.6). Since the trainer's statement
obviously was relevant in determining whether the presumption had been
rebutted, the propriety of the government action turned in part upon
the trainer's credibility.
/23/ The Court in Goldberg also observed that "(i)n almost every
setting where important decisions turn on questions of fact, due
process requires an opportunity to confront and cross-examine adverse
witnesses" (397 U.S. at 269 (emphasis added)). The Court tied this
procedural requirement to the magnitude of the interest at stake in
the proceeding. As we have discussed (see pages 28-30), appellee's
interest is considerably less significant than a welfare recipient's
interest in continued benefits.
/24/ The Court indicated in Mathews v. Eldridge, supra, that the
"policy of allowing the disability recipient's representative full
access to all information relied upon by the state agency" provided a
"further safeguard against mistake" (424 U.S. at 345-346). However,
the Court did not state that disclosure of all such information was a
necessary element of due process. In Loudermill, for example, the
Court stated only that the party to be deprived of a property interest
must be afforded "an explanation of the (adverse) evidence" (slip op.
12).
/25/ A copy of the witness's interview statement is supplied to the
employer when the witness begins to testify.
/26/ The time between the issuance of the temporary reinstatement
order and the ALJ's issuance of his recommended decision --
approximately nine months -- is within the time limits that this Court
previously has held to be permissible. See Loudermill, slip op. 13;
Mathews, 424 U.S. at 342. The delay in the issuance of the
Secretary's final decision in this case is the result of a dispute
regarding the ALJ's decision and the state of the evidentiary record.
See Mot. to Aff. 5-6 n.4, A1-A9. There is no reason to believe that
this delay is typical of proceedings under Section 405.

## What is the role of Advanced Computing?
- All of the projects in our center make use of advanced computing
- The CEMM center used over 6,000,000 NERSC node-hours in FY2003
- mp288, mp21, mp94, mp290, m127, m275
## What have we learned from the ISICs?
- It has been confirmed that high order (3-5th) finite elements are a big win for fusion MHD:
- a must for highly anisotropic heat conduction
- leads to smaller matrices for same accuracy, making an implicit time advance feasible
- Adaptive Mesh Refinement is a powerful tool for some transient problems with a range of space scales,
- but it’s usefulness for slow-growing MHD modes has not been demonstrated.
- It is valuable to have multiple, interoperable linear solvers available.
- this is especially true now that the Cray-X1 is in the mix of architectures available to us
## Is progress limited by computing power or by algorithms?
- All of our new applications will be resource limited.
- The resources available determine the allowed resolution,
- This in turn determines what range of physical parameters can be realistically modeled.
- However, our model extension activities require better algorithms. | en |

# **GUIDANCE FOR THE WILLIAM F. GOODLING**
# **EVEN START FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMS**
###### SEPTEMBER 29, 2003
## [INTRODUCTION]{.underline}
Even Start is an education program for the Nation's low-income families
that is designed to improve the academic achievement of parents and
their young children, especially in the area of reading. Researchers,
teachers, and administrators alike now acknowledge the vital importance
of high-quality early childhood education for all children. Young
children who have good vocabularies and who are taught early reading
skills before they start school are more likely to become good readers
and to achieve academic success throughout their school careers.
Education experts also acknowledge that parents play a critical role in
the language and intellectual development of their children. Children
who have parents who talk and play with them and who read to them have
an important advantage. And parents who themselves are competent readers
are more likely to have good jobs and be able to help their own children
in school. Even Start provides educational services for the family,
parents and children alike, so that adults and their children will be
able to take advantage of and benefit from the tremendous opportunities
available to them in this Nation. For adults and children with limited
English proficiency, Even Start helps them make progress toward
acquisition of the English language and attainment of a high level of
literacy.
The Even Start Family Literacy program was first enacted in 1988 as Part
B of Chapter 1 of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
of 1965 (ESEA). Most recently, the program was reauthorized and amended
by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). With the enactment of
NCLB, two programs that complement Even Start are the Reading First and
Early Reading First programs. The Reading First program gives funds to
States to invest in scientifically based reading instructional programs
for the early grades; and the Early Reading First Program gives funds to
districts and other entities to support the early language, literacy,
and pre-reading development of preschool-age children.
Even Start started in FY 1989 with an initial \$14.8 million
appropriation that supported 76 projects and 2,460 families. By FY 2000,
the appropriation was \$150 million, and 860 projects served 36,000
families. In FY 2003, the \$248.4 million appropriation will fund some
1,200 projects that will serve more than 50,000 families.
From the total Even Start appropriation, the majority of the funds go to
States for State-administered subgrants. With the remaining funds set
aside at the Federal level, the following activities are conducted: (1)
migrant, Outlying Areas, and Indian tribal programs; (2) a women\'s
prison demonstration project; (3) evaluation, technical assistance,
program improvement, and replication activities; (4) research on family
literacy; and (5) Statewide family literacy initiative grants (depending
on the appropriation level).
**BACKGROUND**
Even Start offers promise for helping to break the intergenerational
cycle of poverty and low literacy in the Nation. The program integrates
early childhood education, adult literacy (adult basic and
secondary-level education and/or instruction for English language
learners), parenting education, and interactive parent and child
literacy activities into a single, unified family literacy program. The
design is based on the premise that these components build on each other
and that families need to receive high-quality instructional services in
all four areas \-- not just one or two \-- in order to bring lasting
change and effectively improve parents' and children\'s literacy
achievement. Even Start supports integrated family literacy services for
parents and children, primarily from birth through age seven, and has
three interrelated goals:
- to help parents improve their literacy or basic educational skills;
- to help parents become full partners in educating their children;
and
- to assist children in reaching their full potential as learners.
The term "family literacy services" is defined in section 9101(20) of
the ESEA as services provided to participants on a voluntary basis that
are of sufficient intensity in terms of hours, and of sufficient
duration, to make sustainable changes in a family, and that integrate
all of the following instructional activities:
(A) Interactive literacy activities between parents and their children.
(B) Training for parents regarding how to be the primary teacher for
their children and full partners in the education of their children.
(C) Parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency.
(D) An age-appropriate education to prepare children for success in
school and life experiences.
At minimum, a successful Even Start project should: build on
high-quality, community resources; employ qualified staff; carry out
instructional activities grounded in scientifically based reading
research; be able to document significant literacy achievement results
(for adults and children) for the majority of families served; and make
sufficient program progress as defined by the State.
We have learned from the previous national evaluations of Even Start
that:
- The instructional focus must be on literacy and cognitive
development.
- Intensity of services and duration of program participation are
correlated with participant achievement.
- Data must be used for program improvement.
- State and local programs must develop and implement a well-defined
system of ongoing program monitoring and evaluation that focuses
upon effective practices and program results.
**PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDANCE**
This Guidance for the William F. Goodling Even Start Family Literacy
Programs is written to assist States and local projects in
understanding, administering, and implementing the Even Start program.
The Guidance reflects changes made to the program by the Literacy
Involves Families Together (LIFT) Act of 2000 that are reinforced and
further strengthened by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Guidance
in this document replaces all prior nonregulatory guidance for Even
Start and also addresses questions raised by State and local officials
regarding the law. States may refer to this guidance when administering
funds under the State-administered portion of the Even Start program,
and local recipients of Even Start funds may refer to this guidance when
administering or operating projects supported by subgrants awarded by
States or by direct grants from the U.S. Department of Education. This
document includes an explanation of the statutory requirements
authorized by NCLB and provides guidance for carrying out these
requirements.
Citations in the document, unless otherwise indicated, are to the ESEA.
This document does not impose any requirements beyond those in the Even
Start statute and other applicable Federal statutes and regulations.
While States may consider this guidance in developing their own
guidelines and standards, they are free to develop alternative
approaches that are consistent with applicable Federal statutes and
regulations. In other words, this document contains acceptable but not
exclusive guidance concerning Even Start. However, compliance with the
guidance in this document will be deemed by U.S Department of Education
(ED) officials, including the Inspector General, as compliance with the
applicable Federal statutes and regulations.
**[STATE ADMINISTRATION]{.underline}**
The Department awards formula grants to State educational agencies (SEAs
or States), with each State receiving funding based on the relative
proportion of funds it receives under the Part A of Title I allocation
formula. States subsequently make competitive discretionary subgrant
awards to partnerships of local educational agencies (LEAs) and other
public and private entities for Even Start Family Literacy projects.
**State Plans**
States must submit a State plan to the U.S. Department of Education for
their administration of Even Start, but may apply for Even Start funds
either through a consolidated State plan under section 9302 or through a
separate Even Start State plan. (See the Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), sections 76.100 -- 76.106.)
## Committee of Practitioners
Each State must form a Committee of Practitioners to advise the State in
carrying out its responsibilities under Even Start and other programs
under Title I of the ESEA. The Committee of Practitioners reviews, prior
to publication, any proposed or final State rules or regulations issued
concerning the program. (Section 1903(b))
The Committee of Practitioners must also be substantially involved in
the development of the separate or consolidated State plan and continue
to be involved in the monitoring of the plan's implementation by the
State. For example, the Committee reviews portions of the State plan
describing the Even Start subgrant competition process.
***Membership***
At a minimum, the Committee of Practitioners must include the following:
- representatives of LEAs, as a majority of its members;
- administrators;
- teachers, including vocational educators;
- parents;
- members of local boards of education;
- representatives of private school children; and
- pupil services personnel.
A State may also include additional members, such as family literacy
experts or other individuals, who are familiar with Even Start. If no
family literacy experts or individuals familiar with Even Start are
formally on the Committee of Practitioners, a State is encouraged to
invite such persons to participate in Committee of Practitioners
meetings if Even Start or family literacy policies are on the agenda for
discussion.
**State-Level Activities**
A State may reserve up to 6 percent of its Even Start grant for the
following State-level activities:
- administration (Section 1233(a)(1));
- technical assistance under section 1233(a)(2), provided to Even
Start subgrantees for program improvement and replication through
one or more subgrants or contracts with third parties;
- technical assistance under section 1234(c), provided to Even Start
subgrantees to improve the quality of Even Start family literacy
services (early childhood education, adult literacy (adult basic and
secondary-level education and instruction for English language
learners), parenting education, and interactive parent and child
literacy activities) through a subgrant, contract, or cooperative
agreement with a qualified entity;
- technical assistance under section 1234(c) to help local programs
raise additional funds, provided through a subcontract, contract, or
cooperative agreement with a qualified entity; and
- activities to develop, implement, and use the State's Even Start
indicators of program quality under section 1240.
As explained in more detail below, in order to support the high quality
implementation of local projects, a State has significant flexibility
under these various functions in how it divides State-level activities.
The Secretary encourages States to specify in their accounting records
how, and under what authority, the State is using its State-level funds.
However, of the total that the State reserves for these State-level
activities, the State may use no more than one-half of the total amount
for administrative activities*.* (Section 1233(a))
#### After determining the amount of funds to be used for State-level activities (up to 6 percent of the State's total grant amount) and identifying the portion of those funds to be used for activities that it categorizes as administrative (up to one half of the total amount reserved), the State may use the balance of its State-level funds as described below to provide technical assistance and to carry out the State's indicators of program quality. The technical assistance should be designed to improve local programs and support the replication of successful programs, help local programs raise additional funds and improve the quality of Even Start family literacy services, and develop, implement, and use the State's indicators of program quality.
#### Administration
As explained above, a State may use up to one half of the total amount
it reserves for State-level administrative activities. The State may use
its administrative funds for indirect and direct administration costs,
and to provide technical assistance and training to local Even Start
projects to improve participant achievement results.
Under section 9201, a State may consolidate its Even Start
administrative funds with State administrative funds from some of the
programs under the ESEA if the SEA is able to demonstrate that the
majority of the agency's resources come from non-Federal sources.
Eligible programs under section 9201 include any ESEA program in which
funds are authorized to be used for administration, and any other
programs that the Secretary designates.
#### Technical Assistance
A State may provide training and technical assistance for local
subgrantees in several ways. Different statutory requirements apply
depending upon the type of training and technical assistance that the
State chooses to provide. States may provide these activities directly,
as part of the State's administrative function discussed above or as a
part of its implementation of the State's Even Start indicators of
program quality discussed below.
In addition, a State may use a portion of the non-administrative
State-level funds it has reserved to provide technical assistance to
Even Start projects under section 1233(a)(2), to improve those projects
and replicate those of high quality. If the State chooses to provide
technical assistance under section 1233(a)(2) to improve or replicate
Even Start projects, it must also do so through a subgrant or contract
with another entity. A State may also use a portion of the
non-administrative State-level funds it reserves to provide technical
assistance and training under section 1234(c), to assist local Even
Start projects in improving the quality of their family literacy
services (that is, to improve one or more of the Even Start core
components that make up "family literacy services"). The State must
provide this technical assistance and training through one or more
subgrants, contracts, or cooperative agreements with an entity that has
experience in offering high-quality training and technical assistance to
family literacy providers. In addition, the State must give priority to
programs of low quality as evaluated based on a State's indicators of
program quality.
For local programs that the State determines to have demonstrated
effectiveness, the State also may use technical assistance funds under
section 1234(c) to help those programs access and leverage additional
funds to expand services to families and reduce waiting lists for
services, including through using such mechanisms as requesting and
applying for non-Federal resources.
########
########
The State's use of funds for technical assistance and training in
improving family literacy services under section 1234(c) may not result
in a decrease from the level of activities and services that subgrantees
provided to program participants in the previous year (section
1234(c)(1)). In other words, a State's reservation of funds for
technical assistance and training under section 1234(c) cannot
negatively affect the quality and intensity of services that can be
provided by subgrantees to their program participants.
########
######## Developing and Using Even Start Indicators of Program Quality
A State may also use funds it reserves for technical assistance to
develop and use its State indicators of program quality, as described in
section 1240, to monitor, evaluate, and improve local projects within
the State. These technical assistance activities, for example, may
include training local project staff and evaluators on the following:
how to improve the content of local evaluations so that they are aligned
with State indicators of program quality; how to better use local
evaluations for continuous program improvement; how to identify high
quality professional development activities for local Even Start staff;
and strategies to improve participant retention and literacy achievement
results. (See National Evaluation, Local Evaluation, and Indicators of
Program Quality \-- Indicators of Program Quality section.) In addition,
a State could use those funds to provide the technical assistance
required under section 1233(a)(3) to improve local projects that have
made insufficient progress on the State's indicators of program quality
before the State discontinues those projects for insufficient progress.
Unlike the technical assistance and training that a State provides under
sections 1233(a)(2) and 1234(c), a State may provide technical
assistance and training under section 1240 to local subgrantees and
evaluators on its indicators of program quality either directly or
through a contract with another qualified entity.
**Competition for Subgrants**
The Even Start statute establishes certain required information that
each local subgrant application must contain. (Section 1237) However,
each State may develop its own application for funding and may require
additional information relevant to its own subgrant competition. (EDGAR,
section 80.37(a)) For example, a State may require applicants to address
that State's Even Start indicators of program quality, priorities for
funding that target areas that are especially underserved and in need of
Even Start services, or any other relevant criteria to obtain the most
qualified applicants. (See Local Application section.) However, any
State priorities must be consistent with the statutory competitive
priorities in section 1238(a)(2) explained below.
A State must follow certain statutory requirements in awarding
subgrants, including using statutory selection criteria and statutory
priorities and using a review panel that includes certain required
members. (Section 1238(a), and the Review Panel and Selection Criteria
sections.) However, except as required by the Even Start statute or
other Federal statutes or regulations, a State follows its own policies
and procedures when awarding subgrants and, therefore, has substantial
discretion over the competitive process for allocating funds to
high-quality local projects that can help families most in need of Even
Start services attain literacy achievement results. (EDGAR, section
80.37(a)) For example, a State's process could include such things as
on-site reviews, convening of panelists in one location for a paper
review, or a two-tiered review process (using a combination of an
on-site review and paper review).
Before issuing their instructions for a subgrant competition, the
Department encourages States to consult with their Committees of
Practitioners in developing the application review process, and any
additions to the statutory selection criteria, and priorities that are
consistent with those statutory requirements. (See Committee of
Practitioners section.)
#### Review Panel
The SEA must establish a review panel to review and approve local
subgrant applications. The review panel must consist of at least three
members, including one early childhood professional, one adult education
professional, and one individual with expertise in family literacy.
Additional members may include one or more of the following: a
representative of a parent-child education organization, a
representative of a community-based literacy organization, a member of a
local board of education, a representative of business and industry with
a commitment to education, or an individual who has been involved in the
implementation of the State's Title I programs, which include Reading
First and Early Reading First. (Section 1238(a)(3)) In order to ensure a
fair and objective evaluation of applications, an SEA must follow State
conflict-of-interest requirements or policies that it may have with
respect to the review of subgrant applications.
***Selection Criteria***
The review panel evaluates and approves local applications in accordance
with the statutory selection criteria and priorities in section 1238(a)
of the ESEA and any additional State requirements that are consistent
with those statutory selection criteria and priorities. Those criteria
include the likelihood of success in meeting the purposes of the Even
Start program, and effectively implementing the 15 required program
elements (see the Local Administration -- Program Elements section). The
approved applications also must be representative of urban and rural
regions of the State. (Section 1238(a)(1)(G))
In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that the area to be served
has a high percentage or a large number of children and families who are
in need of Even Start services as indicated by high levels of poverty,
illiteracy, unemployment, limited English proficiency, or other
need-related indicators. (Section 1238(a)(1)(B)) Applicants must also
show how they will provide services for at least a three-year age range,
demonstrate the greatest possible cooperation and coordination between a
variety of relevant service providers, include a cost-effective budget,
demonstrate the applicant's ability to provide the local share of the
program's costs, and show the greatest promise for providing models that
may be adopted by other family literacy projects and other LEAs.
(Sections 1238(a)(1)(C)-(F) and (H))
The SEA must give priority to applications that target services to areas
of the State with a high percentage or large number of children and
families in need of Even Start services, as indicated by high levels of
poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, limited English proficiency, or other
similar need-related factors. (Section 1238(a)(2)(A)) Examples of other
similar need-related factors, as listed in section 1238(a)(1)(B), are: a
high number or percentage of children to be served by the program who
reside in a school attendance area eligible for participation in Title
I, Part A programs, a high number or percentage of parents who have been
victims of domestic violence, and a high number or percentage of parents
who are receiving "Temporary Assistance to Needy Families." In addition,
the SEA must give priority to applications for projects that are located
in areas designated as empowerment zones or enterprise communities.
(Section 1238(a)(2)(B)) To find areas in the State that have been
designated as empowerment zones or enterprise communities, contact the
Governor's office.
####
#### Eligible Entity
To qualify as an "eligible entity" for an Even Start subgrant, an
applicant must be a partnership between one or more LEAs
[and]{.underline} one or more nonprofit community-based organizations,
public agencies other than an LEA, institutions of higher education
(including two- and four-year institutions), or public or private
nonprofit organizations of demonstrated quality other than an LEA.
(Section 1232(e)(1))
A partnership may take a number of different forms and can designate any
partner as the fiscal agent for the subgrant or form a formal legal
entity that is a partnership to serve as the fiscal agent. However, in
each case, the partners should clearly delineate their respective roles
and functions, identify the partner(s) that will serve as the fiscal
agent, and agree in writing to any required assurances and
authorizations.
The partnership provisions in the Even Start law strengthen the
connections between schools and communities and improve a project's
ability to reach families in greatest need of services through community
outreach. The connection of a project to an LEA and a school's resources
also allows for greater ease in the continuity of family literacy
services, especially when children make the transition between an early
childhood education provider to a school.
In order to reach out to the greatest number of possible applicants, the
Secretary encourages States to inform all potentially eligible partners
of the availability of funds for an Even Start program and the process
they should follow in applying for a subgrant.
Even Start projects are cooperative projects that build on high-quality,
existing community resources to create a new range of services to serve
families\' educational needs. (Section 1231(2)(A)) In addition to the
formal partners who comprise the eligible entity applying for funding
and administering the grant, an Even Start project has a number of
collaborators who provide direct instructional or support services to
participating families and may contribute to the local project's
matching or cost share. These collaborators might include such local
agencies as: the community library, the community college, the welfare
agency, a day care program, a professional association, a faith-based
organization, or a volunteer organization. The Department encourages
projects to cultivate community investment in the program by building on
high-quality community resources or bolstering the quality of these
community resources, if necessary by supplementing those services.
**Project Funding**
***Minimum Subgrant Amounts***
The Secretary encourages States to make subgrants that are of sufficient
size, scope, and quality to be effective in meeting the purposes of Even
Start, allow projects to meet their program objectives and participant
achievement goals, and make maximum use of the resources available at
the local community level. (Section 1233(b)) SEAs are encouraged to make
continuation awards of sufficient size to ensure each project's
continuity of high-quality services and successful program outcomes and
participant achievement results. After reserving funds for
administration and technical assistance and funding continuation grants
for projects that demonstrate sufficient progress toward meeting their
individual program objectives and the State's Even Start indicators of
program quality, States must use the remaining funds to award new
subgrants. (Section 1233(b))
The minimum amount of Federal funds required for a subgrant for programs
in their first through eighth year of operation generally is \$75,000
per year. The minimum subgrant size of \$75,000 per year is reduced to
\$52,500 for recipients in their ninth and succeeding years. If less
than \$75,000 of Federal funds remain available for a fiscal year after
the State has awarded all other subgrants, the SEA may fund one subgrant
of less than \$75,000 for a project in its first through eighth year of
operation for that fiscal year, or one subgrant of less than \$52,500
for a project in its ninth or subsequent year of operation for that
fiscal year. However, each State may have only one project operating
under these conditions at any given time. (Section 1233(b)(2))
***Federal and Local Share***
An Even Start project's funding is comprised of a portion of funds
attributable to the Federal grant (Federal share) and a portion
contributed by the project (local share). The amount of the local share
in the first year of the local project's grant must be at least 10
percent of the [total cost]{.underline} of the project. In the second
year of Federal funding, the project must provide at least 20 percent of
the total cost of the second-year budget; in the third year, at least 30
percent of the third-year total budget cost; in the fourth year, at
least 40 percent of the fourth-year total budget cost; in the fifth
through eighth years, at least 50 percent of each year's total budget
cost; and in each subsequent year, at least 65 percent of each year's
total budget cost. (See Duration of a Project -- Continuing Eligibility
section.) (Section 1234(b)(1))
It is not necessary to reduce a project's grant award each year in order
to satisfy the requirements for the progressively increased local share.
Instead, a State may keep a project's grant award constant and require a
sufficient increase in the local share. Or, a State may even increase
the grant award for subsequent years, so long as there is a sufficient
local share. The important consideration is that each project receives
sufficient funds to operate a high-quality program that generates
successful participant achievement results.
A local project may provide its local share in cash or through in-kind
contributions, fairly evaluated. The project may obtain its local share
from any source, including any Federal funds other than Even Start
funds. (Section 1234(b)(1)(B)) For an explanation of how to place a
value on specific third-party in-kind contributions, see EDGAR, section
74.23 (for institutions of higher education and non-profit
organizations) and section 80.24 (for LEAs and Indian tribes).
An Even Start project may only use allowable costs to satisfy the
project's local share. (See EDGAR, section 80.24.) For example, indirect
costs are not allowable for Even Start local projects and, therefore,
may not be used to meet a project's local share. (Section 1234(b)(3))
In addition, a project may only count costs or values of third-party
in-kind contributions toward satisfying its local share for one Federal
grant or contract at a time. For example, if Head Start is a
collaborating agency with an Even Start project and counts a volunteer
teacher's time for all of the children (including the children
participating in Even Start) toward satisfying a Head Start matching
requirement, the Even Start project may not count that same teacher's
time toward meeting the Even Start local share. In the alternative, the
Head Start program and the Even Start program may agree to split the
value of the volunteer teacher's time proportionately, based on the
numbers of Head Start and Even Start children served by that teacher,
between the two programs for the purpose of each program's respective
matching requirement.
####
#### Indirect Costs
Under the statute, Even Start funds generally may not be used for the
indirect costs of a local Even Start project. Under certain
circumstances, the Secretary may waive this limitation for Indian tribe
or tribal organization Even Start grants from the Department. (Section
1234(b)(3))
**Duration of a Project**
A local project's grant period may not exceed four years. (Section
1238(b)(1)) The Secretary encourages SEAs to award grants for periods of
at least two years to allow projects sufficient time to implement fully
all program elements and core components and have one year of data to
use for demonstrating continuous improvement. After the end of a
project's grant period, the Even Start project may reapply and compete
for additional grants or subgrants of Even Start funds. (Section
1238(b)(5))
#### Start-Up Period
Implementing a new Even Start project presents many challenges, and
experience has shown that the average new project takes several months
to become fully operational. At an applicant's request, an SEA may
provide funds to a subgrantee for a three-to-six month start-up period
during the first year of a grant period before requiring full
implementation of the project. During this start-up period, a project
may use its Even Start funds for such activities as staff recruitment
and training, and coordination of services. (Section 1238(b)(2))
***Continuing Eligibility***
In making continuation awards from year to year during a project's grant
period, an SEA has considerable discretion over the amount of the
continuation award and may weigh a variety of factors in determining
whether a subgrantee has made sufficient progress. However, in an SEA's
review of a subgrantee's progress, it must always consider the
subgrantee's progress in meeting the objectives of its program and its
progress on the State's Even Start indicators of program quality.
(Section 1238(b)(3))
***Insufficient Progress***
An SEA may refuse to award continuation funds to a subgrantee if the SEA
determines that the program has not made sufficient progress, as
evaluated against the State's Even Start indicators of program quality.
Before discontinuing a subgrantee, a SEA must first provide technical
assistance to see if the program can improve its progress on the State
indicators of program quality and also give the subgrantee notice and an
opportunity for a formal or an informal hearing. (Section 1238(b)(4))
The hearing requirement can be satisfied by the SEA providing a formal
hearing on the record as described above under the Selection Criteria
section, or by providing an informal hearing before the denial and the
formal hearing on the record if requested by the applicant after the
final denial of funds. SEAs are encouraged to keep records describing
the technical assistance that has been given in compliance with these
requirements.
**[LOCAL ADMINISTRATION]{.underline}**
**Program Elements**
Each local Even Start program is a complex project comprised of many
different elements that when added, should equal more than the sum of
each individual element. The fifteen statutory required program elements
for Even Start projects, primarily grounded in research and national
evaluation data, are intended to ensure that projects offer high-quality
services so that all participating families can achieve their literacy
goals. (Section 1235)
It is important to note that all Even Start projects funded both before
and after the December 21, 2000 LIFT Act reauthorization are subject to
that law's new requirements and, therefore, must be implementing all
fifteen required program elements. Note that, the following program
elements (numbered by their statutory paragraph number in section 1235)
were new in 2000: #5 (staff qualifications); #10 (instructional programs
based on scientifically based reading research); #11 (attendance and
retention of families); #12 (reading readiness activities based on
scientifically based reading research); and #13 (continuity of family
literacy services). In addition, program element numbers 8 (year-round
services) and 15 (local independent evaluation) have been amended. Local
applications for continuing subgrantees should be amended to reflect
compliance with the new requirements. (Section 1237(c)(2)(B))
These program elements clarify the methods for the best implementation
of the four Even Start core requirements \-- early childhood education,
adult literacy (adult basic and secondary-level education and/or
instruction for English language learners), parenting education, and
interactive literacy activities between parents and their children \--
and the activities needed to support successful programs. Program
elements 1, 2, 11, and 14 relate to the targeting of Even Start services
to the families most in need and ready to commit to the four-component
program. Program elements 3-8 and 10 and 12 focus on the delivery of
high-quality instructional and support services so participants can
better achieve literacy gains. Program elements 9 and 13 describe
coordination with relevant programs to complement and supplement the
work of the local Even Start project. And program element 15 highlights
program accountability and linkages between program implementation and
participant outcomes. An elaboration of each program element is provided
below.
1. ***Identification and Recruitment of Families Most In Need of Even
Start Services***. (Section 1235(1)) Each project must identify and
recruit families most in need of Even Start services, as indicated
by a low level of income, a low level of adult literacy or English
language proficiency of the eligible parent or parents, and other
need-related indicators. It is important to note the distinction
between families that are considered "eligible" for Even Start
services and those actually served by a project. Even Start projects
serve a small subset of the "eligible" population and must target
families who are most in need of family literacy services.
2. ***Screening and Preparation of Participants***. (Section 1235(2))
Each project must screen and prepare parents (including teenage
parents) and children to enable such parents and children to
participate fully in Even Start activities and services. This
includes testing of parents to ensure eligibility for services,
referral to necessary counseling, other developmental and support
services, and related services. A project should ensure that each
member of an eligible family is fully ready to commit to the entire
four-component Even Start program prior to considering them for
program participation.
3. ***Flexible Scheduling and Support Services.*** (Section 1235(3))
Each project must be designed to accommodate participants' work
schedules and other responsibilities. This includes providing
support services, when such services are unavailable from other
sources, which are necessary for full participation in the Even
Start program. Flexibility in scheduling classes in order to
optimize family participation and retention is especially critical
given the demands of work participation requirements for public
assistance, as is providing support services such as transportation,
child care, and meals. However, the main focus of the Even Start
program should still remain on providing high-quality instructional
services and ensuring that participants make literacy gains.
4. ***High-Quality, Intensive Instructional Programs***. (Section
1235(4)) Each project must provide high-quality, intensive
instructional programs that promote adult literacy and empower
parents to support the educational growth of their children,
developmentally appropriate early childhood services, and
preparation of children for success in regular school programs. Each
of the four core components is considered an instructional program.
***5. Staff Qualifications***. (Section 1235(5)) Each project must meet
the following staff qualification requirements for staff whose salaries
are paid in whole or in part with Even Start funds. Staff who are not
paid with Even Start funds, such as staff supported by collaborators or
partners, are not subject to the requirements of this program element.
However, whatever the funding source, the Secretary encourages a project
to make a concerted effort to use the most highly qualified staff
available.
> [Staff providing academic instruction]{.underline}
>
> Instructional staff are considered those staff members who provide
> instruction in the four core Even Start components.
*All instructional staff --* by December 21, 2004, a majority of the
individuals providing academic instruction:
1. must have obtained an associate\'s, bachelor\'s, or graduate degree
in a field related to (see Q11) early childhood education,
elementary or secondary school education, or adult education; and
> 2\. if applicable, must meet qualifications established by the State
> for early childhood education, elementary or secondary school
> education, or adult education provided as part of an Even Start
> program or another family literacy program. (Section 1235(5)(A)(i))
*New instructional staff* who are hired to work in Even Start projects
must, when they are hired:
1. have obtained an associate\'s, bachelor's, or graduate degree in a
field related to early childhood education, elementary or secondary
school education, or adult education; and
2. if applicable, meet qualifications established by the State for
early childhood education, elementary or secondary school education,
or adult education provided as part of an Even Start program or
another family literacy program. (Section 1235(5)(B))
[Project Director]{.underline}
Not later than December 21, 2004, the individual responsible for
administration of family literacy services must have received training
in the operation of a family literacy program. (Section 1235(5)(A)(ii))
[Paraprofessionals]{.underline}
> Not later than December 21, 2004, paraprofessionals who provide
> support for academic instruction must have a high school diploma or
> its recognized equivalent. (Section 1235(5)(A)(iii))
6. ***Staff Training.*** (Section 1235(6)) Each project must train
staff, including child care staff, to develop the skills necessary
to work with parents and young children in the full range of Even
Start instructional services offered. Effective staff professional
development may include a set of activities that produce a
demonstrable and measurable effect on student academic achievement,
and may include activities such as coaching and mentoring. While not
directly applicable to the Even Start program, you may find useful
concepts on high-quality professional development in Part B of the
Title II, Part A guidance (Improving Teacher Quality, State Grants),
located at www.ed.gov/offices/OESE/SIP/TitleIIguidance2002.doc.
7. ***Home-Based Instructional Services.*** (Section 1235(7)) Each
project must provide and monitor integrated instructional services
to participating parents and children through home-based services.
Even Start projects should provide home-based services for every
Even Start family on a regular basis. These services should be
designed to improve the literacy skills of parents or their
children, or both, and communicate the message that the home is a
child's first classroom, just as the parent is a child's first
teacher.
8. ***Year-Round Services.*** (Section 1235(8)) Each project must
operate on a year-round basis, including the provision of some
program services, instructional and enrichment, during the summer
months. This allows families to receive continuous opportunities to
improve their learning and avoid the drop-off in achievement that
often occurs during long breaks or vacations. Therefore, the
families served during the summer should be the same families served
during the school year.
9. ***Coordination with Other Programs.*** (Section 1235(9)) Each
project must coordinate with relevant programs, such as Title I,
Part A, Early Reading First, Reading First, Migrant Education,
21^st^ Century Community Learning Centers, Head Start, and volunteer
literacy programs. Local projects must also coordinate with any
relevant programs under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act,
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and Title I of the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and any other relevant programs.
10. ***Instructional Programs Based on Scientifically Based Reading
Research***. (Section 1235(10)) Each project must use instructional
programs based on scientifically based reading research (as defined
in section 1208) for children and adults, to the extent such
research is available. The underlying premise of basing
instructional programs on scientifically based reading research is
that using strategies and techniques that are demonstrated to be
effective through the application of scientific research methods
will give States, districts, and schools a higher probability that
children enter school prepared to learn to read and adults
significantly improve their literacy and help their children succeed
in school.
11. ***Attendance and Retention.*** (Section 1235(11)) Each project must
encourage participating families to attend regularly and to remain
in the program a sufficient time to meet their program goals. Each
individual program determines what is reasonable attendance for a
family in order to achieve its educational goals and to remain as
active participants in the program. If a family is not attending
regularly, the project needs to work with the family to determine
what is needed to allow them to be active participants. If such
attempts still fail, the project should transition the family out of
Even Start, perhaps to a more suitable program, and recruit a more
committed family.
12. ***Reading Readiness Activities Based on Scientifically Based
Reading Research.*** (Section 1235(12)) Each project must base its
reading readiness activities for preschool children on
scientifically based reading research (as defined in section 1208),
to the extent available, to ensure children enter elementary school
with the language, cognitive, and early reading skills necessary for
reading success. Research shows that the most effective ways to
reach this goal include: 1) creating classroom environments rich in
age-appropriate print (from sources such as books, labeling, and
posting the alphabet and children's pre-writing work); 2) teachers
who deliver intentional, contextualized, and explicit instruction
that supports children's age-appropriate development of oral
language, phonological awareness, print awareness, and alphabet
knowledge; 3) progress monitoring to determine which skills children
are learning; and 4) intensive and ongoing professional development
that includes mentoring and coaching in the classroom.
13. ***Continuity of Services.*** (Section 1235(13)) Each project must
promote the continuity of family literacy, to the extent applicable,
to ensure that individuals retain and improve their educational
outcomes. Educational services supplementing in-school instruction
provided through the early school years can be critical to
sustaining gains made during the preschool years.
14. ***Providing Services to Families Most In Need.*** (Section
1235(14)) Each project must ensure that the program will serve those
families most in need of Even Start activities and services. This is
related to Program Element #1.
15. ***Local Independent Evaluation.*** (Section 1235(15)) Each project
must provide for an independent evaluation of the program that it
will use for program improvement. The independent evaluation
generally is conducted annually and provides critical data and
information to the local program on the performance of each family,
as well as on the quality of the implementation of the core
components and program elements. The project must use the data and
information for participant progress monitoring and continuous
program improvement to lead to better participant outcomes. (See the
Local Evaluation section of this guidance for further information.)
Although included as an application requirement rather than as a program
element, each project must also provide services for at least a
three-year age range of children, which may begin at birth. (Section
1238(a)(1)(C) and the State Administration -- Selection criteria
section.)
**Participant Eligibility**
To be eligible for Even Start, a family that qualifies as "most-in-need"
(Program Element section, Program Element #1) must have at least one
eligible parent and one eligible child, as described below,
participating together. (Section 1236)
#### Parents
The definition of "parent" includes, in addition to a biological or
adoptive parent, a legal guardian or other person standing "in loco
parentis." Generally, "in loco parentis" means a person acting in place
of a parent and may include a person such as a grandparent or stepparent
with whom the child lives, or a person legally responsible for the
child's welfare. (Section 9101(31))
To be eligible for Even Start, an adult must be the "parent" of an
eligible child, and either be:
(1) eligible for participation in adult education and literacy
activities under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act;
(2) within the State's compulsory school attendance age range, so long
as an LEA provides or ensures the availability of the basic
education component required under this part; or
(3) attending secondary school.
> (Section 1236(a)(1))
Eligible participants under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act
are individuals:
(1) who have attained 16 years of age;
(2) who are not enrolled or required to be enrolled in secondary school
under State law; and
(3) who\--
\(i\) lack sufficient mastery of basic educational skills to enable the
individuals to function effectively in society;
\(ii\) do not have a secondary school diploma or its recognized
equivalent, and have not achieved an equivalent level of education; or
\(iii\) are unable to speak, read, or write the English language.
(Section 203(1) of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, 20
U.S.C. 9202(1))
#### Children
Children at birth through age seven are eligible to participate in Even
Start if their parent or parents are eligible for and participating in
Even Start services. (Section 1236(a)(2))
Children over the age of seven also are eligible to participate in Even
Start with an eligible parent if the local project collaborates with a
program under Title I, Part A of ESEA, and Title I, Part A funds
contribute to the cost of providing Even Start program services to those
children. Although the participation of families with children over the
age of seven is now permissible, the focus of a local program must
continue to remain on families with young children. (See the Title I,
Part A Collaboration section of this guidance for further information.)
***Parents or Children in Private Schools***
# The equitable participation provisions, applicable to Even Start for the first time under NCLB, are found in sections 9501-9504. These provisions require recipients of Federal funds to provide eligible school-age children who are enrolled in private elementary and secondary schools, and their teachers or other educational personnel, educational services and benefits under those programs on an equitable basis. Eligible entities must provide the equitable services after timely and meaningful consultation with the appropriate private school officials. The services must be provided by the eligible entity or through a contractor that is independent of any private school or religious organization.
This means that Even Start projects must consult with private school
officials to determine how to ensure that private school students
(elementary and secondary) are given the same opportunity to participate
in the Even Start project as their public school counterparts. (See the
Parents and Children sections of this guidance above for further
information on who is eligible for Even Start, whether they attend
public or private schools.) Specifically, the eligible entity must
consult with private school officials to determine how to provide
equitable Even Start services to eligible families in Even Start that
have children enrolled in private elementary schools or parents enrolled
in private secondary schools.
Consultation between public and private school officials must occur
before any decision is made that could affect the ability of private
school families to participate (that is, as the project is being
designed and before the application is submitted to the subgrant
competition) and should continue throughout the implementation and
assessment of activities. Consultation generally must include
discussions on such issues as: how the private school families' needs
will be identified; what services will be offered; how and where the
services will be offered and provided; who will provide the services;
how the services will be assessed and how the results of assessments
will be used to improve those services; the amount of funds available
for services; the size and scope of services to be provided; and how and
when the LEA/agency will make decisions about the delivery of services.
The Even Start services for eligible private school students must be
comparable to the services for their public school counterparts in terms
of quality, scope, and opportunity for participation. In addition, total
program expenditures for services and benefits for participating
elementary and secondary private school students must be equal (taking
into account the relative numbers of those private and public school
students participating in the Even Start program and their needs) to the
expenditures for participating elementary and secondary public school
students.
#### Other Family Members
Family members of eligible participants may participate in activities
and services provided by an Even Start project, when appropriate, to
serve the purposes of the program. For example, if the participation of
an older sibling would enhance learning for the participating parent and
child, then the older sibling may participate in appropriate Even Start
activities such as home-based interactive literacy activities between
parents and their children.
#### Eligible Participants Enrolled in Other Programs
So long as participating families meet the Even Start eligibility
requirements described in section 1236, and qualify as most in need of
Even Start services, they may participate in the program. Even Start is
designed to build on, rather than duplicate, already existing
high-quality community resources. Therefore, a child's enrollment in a
high-quality Head Start program or, for school-age children, enrollment
in a high-quality, regular school program, could satisfy the required
early childhood education component of Even Start. Likewise, a parent's
enrollment in a high-quality, adult basic education program could
fulfill the adult education component of the Even Start program. In both
examples, the Even Start project should provide supplemental learning
opportunities to reinforce what is being taught through its
collaborators and partners. The project\'s responsibility is to ensure
the family receives all four core components at high enough levels of
quality, either through a collaborator or directly from the project, in
order for families to make literacy achievement gains.
***Migrant and Indian Families***
Eligible migrant and Indian families in need of family literacy services
may participate like any other family in an Even Start project under the
State-administered program. Organizations serving migrant families or
Indian tribes or tribal organizations may also apply to SEAs for
subgrants in partnership with an LEA, if the organizations qualify as
one of the required entities under section 1232(e)(1)(B).
In addition, migrant and Indian families may participate in programs
funded through the Federal set-aside programs for migrant and federally
recognized Indian tribes and tribal organizations. For each fiscal year
in which the appropriation is greater than \$200 million, the Secretary
must reserve six percent of the funds appropriated for the Even Start
program (if the appropriation is \$200 million or less, five percent of
such amount) for grants to projects serving migrant families, the
outlying areas, and federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal
organizations. (Section 1232(a)(1)) However, if the same migrant or
Indian tribe or tribal organization receives both a grant from the
Secretary and a subgrant from the SEA for an Even Start project, the
funds may not be used for duplicative purposes (that is, the funds may
not be used to provide the same services to the same families). (EDGAR,
sections 75.531 and 76.760)
#### Continuing Family Eligibility
Families generally may participate in Even Start Family Literacy program
services until all family members become ineligible for participation.
In the case of families who enter the program with children ages birth
through seven, when the parent has achieved his or her educational
goals, the family continues to be eligible until all children in the
family reach age eight. In contrast, if all children in a family have
reached the age of eight and the participating parent has not achieved
his or her educational goals, the family continues to be eligible for
two more years until the youngest participating child is 10 years old or
until the parent is no longer eligible for adult education services
under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, whichever occurs
earlier. In both situations, if a family chooses to continue
participating in Even Start under the provisions for continuing family
eligibility, the family must participate in all remaining appropriate
Even Start services (parenting education, interactive parent and child
literacy activities, home visits) until the family exits the program.
(Section 1236(b)(2))
If the Even Start program collaborates with a Title I, Part A program
and Part A contributes to paying the cost of the Even Start program,
families are eligible and may participate in the Even Start program
until the parent reaches his or her educational goals, regardless of the
age of the child. However, the focus of the local program must continue
to remain on serving families with young children. Family ineligibility
in this situation occurs when the parent attains his or her educational
goals. (Section 1236(b)(3) and the Title I, Part A Collaboration section
of this guidance.)
#### Temporary Absence From the Project
Even Start is unique in that it is designed as a family literacy
program, in which the eligibility of parents and children is
interdependent. (Section 1236) To be eligible, at least one parent and
one or more eligible children must participate together in an Even Start
project. However, should a child or parent be temporarily absent due to
extenuating circumstances, the other eligible family members may
continue to receive Even Start services.
**Local Application**
In order to be eligible to receive a subgrant, an applicant must submit
an application to the SEA in the form and containing the information
required by the SEA. (See the Eligible Entity section of this guidance
for further information on what constitutes an eligible applicant.) At a
minimum, each application must demonstrate that the applicant has the
qualified personnel needed to develop, administer, and implement a
high-quality Even Start program and provide access to the special
training necessary to prepare staff for program implementation. (Section
1237(b)) Each application must also include a plan of operation and
continuous improvement for the program. (Section 1237(c)(1)) The plan
must include the following information, as well as any other information
required by the SEA:
(A) a description of the program objectives, strategies to meet those
objectives, and how the objectives are consistent with the State\'s
indicators of program quality;
(B) a description of the activities and services to be provided by the
program, including a description of how the program will incorporate
all of the program elements required by section 1235 (See the Local
Administration -- Program Elements section.);
(C) a description of the population to be served and an estimate of the
number of participants to be served;
(D) as appropriate, a description of the applicant\'s collaborative
efforts with institutions of higher education, community-based
organizations, the SEA, private elementary schools, or other
eligible organizations, in carrying out the program;
(E) a statement of the methods that the project will use to: ensure that
it will serve families most in need of Even Start activities and
services, provide Even Start services to individuals with special
needs such as individuals with limited English proficiency and
individuals with disabilities, and encourage participants to remain
in the program for a time sufficient to meet the program\'s purpose;
(F) a description of how the plan is integrated with other ESEA programs
or other programs, as appropriate; and
(G) a description of how the plan provides for rigorous and objective
evaluation of progress toward the program objectives described
in (A) and for continuing use of evaluation data for program
improvement.
Each plan submitted as part of an application is effective for the
duration of the subgrantee's participation in Even Start and may be
periodically reviewed and revised as needed. The plan may be submitted
as part of a consolidated local application. (Section 1237(d))
**Fiscal Issues**
An Even Start project must use Federal Even Start funds to support the
cost of providing family literacy services that involve parents and
children, primarily from birth through age seven, in a cooperative
effort to help parents become full partners in the education of their
children and to assist children in reaching their full potential as
learners. (Section 1234(a)) The remaining cost of the program may be
provided in cash or in kind from any source, including any Federal funds
other than Even Start. (See the Federal and Local Share and Indirect
Costs sections of this guidance for further information.)
#### Title I, Part A Collaboration
If a project collaborates with a program under Title I, Part A, and
Title I, Part A contributes to paying the cost of providing programs
under this part to children 8 years of age or older, the Even Start
project can allow the participation of families with children 8 years of
age or older. (See the Continuing Family Eligibility section of this
guidance.) However, the focus of the local program must continue to
remain on families with young children. (Section 1236(b)(5)) The intent
of this provision is not to divert substantial Even Start funds to
families with older children, but to encourage greater contribution from
the Title I, Part A program.
#### Allowable Costs
Projects may use Federal Even Start grant funds and matching resources
only for the allowable costs of those projects. (EDGAR, section 80.22)
For each type of organization, there is a separate set of Federal
principles for determining allowable costs. State-administered grants
that have LEAs as the fiscal agent, and Indian tribes and tribal
organizations, must use the cost principles in *OMB Circular A-87*.
Grantees that have institutions of higher education (IHEs) as the fiscal
agent must use the cost principles in *OMB Circular A-21*, and
non-profit organizations that are fiscal agents must use *OMB Circular
A-122*. (www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/index.html)
The cost principles provide general rules for allowability, and in
addition, list alphabetically certain specific items of cost (such as
"materials cost"), indicating whether those specific cost items are
allowable, unallowable, or allowable only with the prior approval of the
awarding agency. In general, unless prohibited by the statute,
regulations, or cost principles, local projects may use Even Start funds
and matching resources for costs that are necessary and reasonable to
meet the objectives of their projects and provide each of the 15
required program elements, including the four core family literacy
service instructional components.
Following are some examples of allowable costs. Other allowable costs
are found in EDGAR and the applicable cost principles.
- [Materials and supplies]{.underline}. Generally, a project may use
Federal Even Start funds and matching resources to purchase
materials and supplies related to the Even Start project. (See the
applicable cost principles under "material costs" or "materials and
supplies.")
- [Equipment]{.underline}. Generally, capital expenditures for
equipment are allowable as a direct cost when approved by the
awarding agency. The cost principles define "equipment" as an
article of nonexpendable, tangible personal property having a useful
life of more than one year and an acquisition cost which equals the
lesser of (a) the capitalization level established by the
governmental unit for financial statement purposes, or (b) \$5,000.
Items of equipment with an acquisition cost of less than \$5,000 are
considered to be supplies under Circular A-87 and are allowable
under all of the cost circulars as direct costs of Federal awards
without requiring specific awarding agency approval. (See the
applicable cost principles under the paragraph of selected cost
items concerning "Equipment and other capital expenditures":
*Circular A-87*, Attachment B, paragraph 19; *Circular A-21*,
Section J, paragraph 16; *Circular A-122*, Attachment B, paragraph
15.)
- [Food and meals for project participants.]{.underline} A project may
use Federal Even Start funds to purchase food and meals for project
participants to the extent those expenditures are reasonable and
necessary as a support service under section 1235(3), when
unavailable from other sources and when necessary for a person's
participation in the Even Start program. For example, providing food
may be reasonable and necessary when academic instruction is
provided in the evening and participants do not have time to eat at
home before coming to the program, at recruitment functions, or when
individuals otherwise would not participate in the program. However,
entertainment costs, including meals when provided for the purpose
of being a social activity or amusement, are unallowable under all
of the cost principles.
- [Minor remodeling.]{.underline} Even Start projects may use funds
for the reasonable and necessary costs of minor remodeling, as that
term is defined in EDGAR, section 77.1. Under that definition,
"minor remodeling" means, in general, minor alterations to a
previously completed building. The specific term does not include
building maintenance and repairs, but both are allowable
expenditures to the extent they are necessary and reasonable. The
term excludes building construction or structural alterations to
buildings, which are unallowable expenditures.
- [Rental costs of buildings and equipment.]{.underline} Generally,
reasonable rental costs are allowable under all of the OMB cost
circulars, subject to specific requirements in each applicable OMB
cost circular that should be reviewed before a project enters into a
rental agreement. The rental or lease costs of buildings and
equipment, which are owned by a partner to an Even Start grant (or
to another entity with a less-than-arms-length relationship with any
of the partners), generally are valued on a different basis than are
buildings and equipment rented or leased from a third-party. (Refer
to the applicable OMB cost circulars for more detail about
valuation.)
- [Transportation]{.underline}. Projects may spend Even Start funds on
transportation for participants as a support service under section
1235(3), when unavailable from other sources and when necessary for
a person's participation in the Even Start program. Transportation
costs must be reasonable and necessary. If a project wishes to
provide this transportation through the lease or purchase of a
vehicle, such a lease or purchase would be considered a capital
expenditure and the applicable OMB cost circular rules for equipment
and capital expenditures apply, including the requirement to obtain
the approval of the awarding agency.
***Unallowable Costs***
Following are some examples of unallowable costs. Other unallowable
costs are found in EDGAR and the applicable cost principles.
- [Indirect costs]{.underline}. Local Even Start projects may not use
project funds (including Even Start funds and matching funds) for
any indirect costs of a project. (Section 1234(b)(3)) The
differences between direct and indirect costs are explained in the
applicable cost principles described above. In general, indirect
costs are those costs that are incurred for common or joint purposes
among multiple cost objectives (for example, the Even Start program
and the school district's program) and cannot be readily and
specifically identified with a particular final cost objective
without effort disproportionate to the results achieved (for
example, the cost of heating and lights for a building in which
multiple programs are located). States may use the Even Start funds
that they reserve for State-level activities for indirect costs at
the State level.
- [Constructing, renovating, or acquiring real property.]{.underline}
An Even Start project may not use Federal Even Start funds or
matching resources to acquire real property, or for construction or
renovation. (See EDGAR, section 75.533 for direct grantees of the
Department, and section 76.533 for State-administered subgrants.)
Construction includes structural alterations to buildings, but does
not include minor remodeling (see above).
- [Organized fundraising.]{.underline} Under *OMB Cost Circular A-87*,
the costs of organized fundraising, including financial campaigns,
solicitation of gifts and bequests, and similar expenses incurred to
raise capital or obtain contributions are unallowable. However,
expenditures of funds to obtain the statutorily required cost or
matching share for Even Start grants are not considered to be
unallowable fundraising.
***Maintenance of Effort***
Beginning with FY 2002, Even Start programs are subject to a
maintenance-of-effort requirement (section 9521), which is the same as
the requirement that has applied to Title I, Part A for a number of
years (section 1120(A)(a)). As applied to Even Start, the
maintenance-of-effort requirement means that an Even Start project may
receive funds only if the SEA determines that the project's LEA
partner's combined fiscal effort per student or the aggregate
expenditures of the LEA and the State with respect to the provision of
free public education by the LEA for the preceding fiscal year was not
less than 90 percent of the combined fiscal effort or aggregate
expenditures for the second preceding fiscal year. However, in cases
where a school district has failed to maintain effort in education
expenditures, ED may waive that requirement if such a waiver would be
equitable due to\-- (1) exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances such
as a natural disaster; or (2) a precipitous decline in the financial
resources of the local educational agency. For additional information on
the maintenance-of-effort requirement, you may want to talk with your
Title I State or LEA director.
**[NATIONAL EVALUATION, LOCAL EVALUATION,]{.underline}**
**[AND INDICATORS OF PROGRAM QUALITY]{.underline}**
#### National Evaluation
Since Even Start's first year, the legislation has included an
evaluation requirement at the national level. Though the legislative
mandate has changed slightly over the years, the national evaluation's
basic purposes have remained the same \-- to describe Even Start
projects and participants, to examine the performance and effectiveness
of Even Start projects, and to identify effective Even Start projects
for use in program improvement and technical assistance. There have been
three national Even Start evaluations since the inception of the
program.
The following overall findings have emerged from the three national
evaluations completed to date: 1) Even Start projects are generally able
to implement the legislatively required program elements. We cannot say
that all of the services provided by Even Start projects are of
excellent quality, but we do know that all of the legislatively required
program elements are being provided and that the letter of the law is
met by all but a very few grantees. 2) On average, Even Start
participants make gains on measures of literacy. These gains are
generally small, particularly given the very low literacy levels of
children and adults when they start the program. 3) When information has
been available from a randomly-assigned control group, Even Start
participants have made literacy gains; however, the gains are no greater
than the gains made by members of the control group.
The latest available evidence is from the third national Even Start
evaluation's Experimental Design Study (EDS). (To access a copy of the
*Third National Even Start Evaluation*, go to
www.ed.gov/rschstat/eval/disadv/evenstartthird/toc.html.) Compared with
the Even Start population, the 18 EDS projects over-represent Even Start
programs that serve ESL Hispanic families in urban areas. While such
over-representation means that care should be taken in applying the
findings to Even Start projects as a whole, almost 50 percent of the
families served by Even Start are Hispanic and about 50 percent of the
projects are in urban areas. Hence, the EDS findings apply to an
important and growing part of the Even Start population. The key
findings include:
- While Even Start children and parents made gains on literacy
assessments and other measures, children and parents in the 18 Even
Start programs that participated in the EDS did not gain more than
children and parents in the control group, about one-third of whom
also received early childhood education or adult education services.
- Even Start serves a very disadvantaged population. Compared with
Head Start, Even Start parents are much less likely to have a high
school diploma, and Even Start families have substantially lower
annual household income.
- Even Start children and parents made small gains on literacy
measures and scored low compared to national norms when they left
the program. Even Start children gained four standard score points
on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the same gain made by
control group children and by children in the Head Start FACES
study.
- Families in the program do not take full advantage of the services
offered by Even Start projects; they participate in a small amount
of instruction relative to their needs and program goals.
- While the early childhood classroom experiences provided by the EDS
projects were of overall good quality, there was not sufficient
emphasis on language acquisition and reasoning to produce measurable
impacts and hence to achieve legislative outcomes. Further study is
needed to better document the quality and content of Even Start's
instructional services.
- The extent to which parents and children participated in literacy
services is related to child outcomes.
Each of the national evaluations has shown that Even Start is a
complicated program that takes time to understand and implement fully.
The focus on literacy for the family as a unit is a special challenge,
as is the requirement to build on existing services to create a unified
family literacy program in a community. Maintaining a literacy focus and
ensuring that collaborators share the goals and objectives of Even Start
are critical factors, since Even Start projects are held accountable for
literacy outcomes, regardless of collaborators' objectives. By
integrating the four core instructional components, Even Start projects
seek to provide a value-added dimension to families' literacy
experiences and outcomes. These characteristics make Even Start unique
and exciting, but also difficult to evaluate.
The Department is implementing several strategies to help States and
local projects improve program performance, in part, to directly respond
to findings from the *Third National Even Start Evaluation*. ED is
working with States and local projects to strengthen the quality of each
instructional component and identify examples of local projects that are
achieving significant results in student achievement. In addition, ED
will conduct a peer review of State indicators of program quality to
ensure that all States have indicators that reflect high standards, use
appropriate assessment tools, and allow States to use their indicators
to monitor and improve local projects. Also, ED is helping to improve
the quality of State and local evaluations through development of a
revised guide to local evaluation and accompanying technical assistance.
# ***Classroom Literacy Interventions and Outcomes Study (CLIO) (2003-07)***
#
# Research evidence from previous national Even Start evaluations has prompted an evaluation effort to identify effective family literacy models. Two experimental evaluations have shown that Even Start projects, as currently implemented, have not been effective at increasing the literacy skills of participating children and their parents over and above that of control children and their parents. The CLIO study will test the effectiveness of various enhanced family literacy interventions in promoting: (a) literacy and other school readiness skills in low-income children; (b) parent literacy; and (c) parent involvement as teachers of their own child, especially in the area of early literacy. The goal of the CLIO study is to provide information for Even Start family literacy projects on the literacy gains made by children and parents who participate in projects offering different family literacy curricula.
#### Local Evaluation
Each Even Start project is required to conduct an independent evaluation
of the program to be used for continuous program improvement. (Section
1235(15)) These evaluations are generally conducted annually and provide
local projects with critical information on individual participant
achievement results and areas of program strength and weakness. These
evaluations also provide local projects, States, the Department, and the
Congress with objective data about the activities and services provided
by the project, all the participants served, the retention rates of
those participants, and the achievement of all families in the project.
(See Local Administration -- Program Element #15 for more information.)
### Indicators of Program Quality
Section 1240 requires each State that receives Even Start funds to
develop indicators of program quality to use in monitoring, evaluating,
and improving local Even Start programs within the State.
In addition, the Department encourages States to develop performance
standards and benchmarks for each program indicator and use them for
increased local program accountability and program improvement.
Development of a complete system of accountability \-- comprised of
indicators of program quality and performance standards and benchmarks
\-- is important so that each State will have its own uniform and
workable method to measure and evaluate whether or not local programs
have made sufficient progress and improvement in participant outcomes.
This accountability system will give each State objective and explicit
data on which programs are showing gains in participant literacy, which
ones need technical assistance and in what areas, and which programs
should or should not receive continued funding.
Starting in 2003, the Department will also use it monitoring authority,
under the General Education Provisions Act: (20 USC 1232f(b), 1234(c),
and 1234(f)), to perform a peer review of States' Even Start performance
indicators. The review process will be used to ensure that all States
have indicators that reflect high standards, and use appropriate
assessment tools, and that States are able to use their indicators to
monitor and improve local Even Start programs and participant literacy
achievement results.
**[ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR FAMILY LITERACY]{.underline}**
Federal Even Start funds are not the only source of funding for family
literacy programs. Funding for family literacy programs or for
individual components of a family literacy program may come from a
variety of sources at the Federal, State, and local levels.
**Common Definition of Family Literacy**
# The following Federal legislation shares a generally common definition of "family literacy services":
- Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (as amended by the No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001)
# Head Start Act of 1998
- Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (Workforce Investment Act)
- Community Services Block Grant Act
**Title I, Part A**
Title I, Part A of the ESEA provides formula grants to LEAs to improve
the teaching and learning of children in high-poverty schools to enable
them to meet challenging academic content and performance standards. The
program emphasizes parental involvement and encourages each school to
provide training to help parents work with their children to improve
their school achievement.
Schools may use Title I, Part A funds to provide necessary literacy
training for parents if all reasonably available sources of funding have
been exhausted, and they are encouraged to work with communities to
provide health, nutrition, and social services that are not otherwise
available to the children being served. LEAs must reserve at least one
percent of their Title I, Part A allocations for parent involvement
activities including promoting family literacy and parenting skills,
unless the one percent is \$5,000 or less. (Section 1118(a)(3)) Title I,
Part A funds may also be used for preschool programs for educationally
disadvantaged children who reside in high-poverty areas.
In addition, section 1111(c)(14) requires SEAs to encourage LEAs and
individual schools participating in Title I, Part A programs to offer
family literacy services (using Title I, Part A funds), if the LEA or
school determines that a substantial number of disadvantaged students
have parents who do not have a high school diploma or its recognized
equivalent or have low levels of literacy. (For additional information
on Title I, Part A, go to www.ed.gov/programs/titleiparta/index.html.)
**Early Reading First, Title I, Part B, Subpart 2**
The Early Reading First program provides competitive grants to eligible
school districts and other public and private organizations located in
those school districts, to transform existing early education programs
into centers of excellence that provide high-quality, early education to
young children, especially those from low-income families. The overall
purpose of the Early Reading First program is to prepare young children
to enter kindergarten with the necessary language, cognitive, and early
reading skills to prevent reading difficulties and ensure school
success.
A variety of preschool programs located in eligible school districts,
including Even Start family literacy programs, may apply for Early
Reading First funds. All programs receiving Early Reading First grants
must demonstrate how they: provide children with a high quality
language- and literature-rich environment; provide professional
development for staff in research-based early language and reading
development; use a language and early literacy curriculum based in
scientific research; and use screening assessments to effectively
identify preschool-age children who may be at risk for reading failure.
As Even Start programs primarily serve children from ages birth through
seven, they are well equipped to ensure that there is continuity between
preschool and kindergarten educational experiences, which is a key
objective of the Early Reading First program. (For additional
information on Early Reading First, go to
http://www.ed.gov/programs/earlyreading/index.html.)
**Migrant Education, Title I, Part C**
The Migrant Education program (MEP) authorizes States to design services
that bridge gaps in a student's education caused by his or her parents'
moves to work in agriculture and other qualifying industries. Each State
designs its services by giving priority to migratory children who are
failing, or most at risk of failing, academically and whose education
has been interrupted during the regular school year. Because of the
nature of the migrant family lifestyle, migrant education programs
generally coordinate resources and integrate services using Federal
sources including Title I, Part A, State-administered Even Start, 21^st^
Century Community Learning Centers, Head Start, and Migrant and Seasonal
Head Start programs, as well as State and local education, health,
housing, and other programs. State and local migrant programs have also
developed a wide array of strategies that enable projects that serve the
same migrant students to communicate and coordinate with one another.
Family literacy activities are among the allowable strategies cited in
section 1304 to meet the unmet needs of preschool migratory children.
Migrant education funding is derived from a count of eligible children
ages 3-21. Migrant education funds may provide family literacy services
to children from birth, and to their parents as well, depending on the
State's priority for providing services to migrant students. States and
local migrant education projects, therefore, may choose family literacy
as a means to serve migrant children and their parents.
It is important to note that, for highly mobile migrant families,
progress in reaching literacy goals may require access to family
literacy services that operate across school district, State, program,
and national boundaries. Migrant Education Even Start (MEES), a
set-aside program in Title I, Part B, Subpart 3 of the ESEA, is
strengthening the capacity of its grantees to provide high-quality
intensive services on a year-round basis. With planning, collaboration,
and coordination that includes education funding, as well as
community-based and volunteer programs, migrant education programs can
leverage family literacy services no matter where migratory agricultural
families travel to work and live. (For additional information on Migrant
Education, go to
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/ome/index.html.)
**Head Start**
Head Start provides comprehensive early childhood, health, disabilities,
and family support services to 905,000 young children from low-income
families, including more than 55,000 infants, toddlers, and pregnant
women. Head Start\'s historic focus on serving economically
disadvantaged young children through a two-generational strategy of
early childhood and parent services meshes well with the goals and
strategies of Even Start. Many local Head Start agencies are
collaborating with Even Start programs, adult education providers, and
other family literacy organizations in providing family literacy
services. The Head Start and Even Start legislation share a common
definition of \"family literacy services". The HHS Head Start Bureau and
ED are partnering in a variety of initiatives, including national
leadership forums, a major jointly funded training and technical
assistance project with the National Center for Family Literacy, and
joint efforts to develop outcome measures for local programs.
**Adult Education**
The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (Title II of the Workforce
Investment Act) provides important resources to fund the adult literacy
component of a family literacy program. The three most common types of
instruction that States support through adult education grants are:
adult basic education for basic literacy services for adults whose
skills are below the eighth grade level; adult secondary education for
services designed to prepare students to obtain a high school
equivalency diploma; and English literacy services for adults with
limited English proficiency. Adult education funds may also be used in
family literacy programs for support services such as child care and
transportation. (For additional information on Adult Education, go to
http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ovae/index.html.)
**Bureau of Indian Affairs**
The BIA/Office of Indian Education Programs funds family literacy
programs that are similar to Even Start family literacy programs. The
Family and Child Education (FACE) program is implemented in 32
Bureau-funded schools, integrated within each school's Consolidated
School Reform Plan, and adopted as a research-based school reform model.
FACE funds are provided to Bureau-funded schools to implement unique and
culturally appropriate family literacy models.
FACE serves American Indian families with children ages birth to eight
at home and at Bureau-funded schools. The requirements for enrollment
are that families served live within the boundaries of a Bureau-funded
school to which their children attend or would be eligible to attend
upon reaching school age. FACE is a full-day program operating four days
per week with one day set aside for planning. FACE operates on a
school-year basis. Technical assistance is provided in an ongoing
commitment to all FACE staff, K-3 teachers and school administrators at
national meetings and on-site. Other non-Bureau programs such as Even
Start and Indian Head Start have participated in the technical
assistance trainings.
**Education for Homeless Children and Youth, (McKinney-Vento Act)**
Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act amended the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which authorizes State formula
grants for the Education for Homeless Children and Youths program. The
McKinney-Vento Act was enacted to confront the problems of homelessness
in this nation and mandates State action to ensure that State and local
educational agencies address barriers to the enrollment, attendance, and
success in school of children and youth who are experiencing
homelessness.
The McKinney-Vento program establishes an Office for the Education of
Homeless Children and Youths in participating States and a local liaison
in all LEAs. One of the duties of the local education agency liaison is
to ensure that homeless families and pre-school-aged children receive
educational services such as Even Start family literacy programs, if
needed. LEA subgrants may be used to support developmentally appropriate
early childhood education programs, not otherwise provided through
Federal, State, or local funding, for preschool-aged homeless children.
(For additional information on Education for Homeless Children and
Youth, go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/homeless/index.html.)

**[NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING]{.underline}**
**Adopted: September 5, 2001 Released: September 7, 2001**
Comment Date: October 29, 2001
Reply Comment Date: November 13, 2001
By the Chief, Video Services Division:
1\. The Commission has before it a petition for rule making filed by
WCIV, LLC (\"WCIV\"), licensee of station WCIV(TV), NTSC channel 34,
Charleston, South Carolina. WCIV requests the substitution of DTV
channel 34 for station WCIV(TV)\'s assigned DTV channel 53.
2\. In support of its proposal, WCIV states that implementing it\'s DTV
operation on an in-core channel would eliminate the need to change DTV
channels at the end of the DTV transition period, thereby enabling the
station to complete its DTV build-out earlier and at less cost. WCIV
maintains that utilizing DTV channel 34 would also achieve an eight
percent increase in interference-free population over that of its
current NTSC facility\'s licensed Grade B contour service area. WCIV
further contends that adoption of its proposal to vacate an out-of-core
DTV channel would serve the Commission\'s objective to reallocate
certain broadcast spectrum for multiple uses.
3\. We believe petitioner\'s proposal warrants consideration. DTV
Channel 34 can be substituted for DTV Channel 53 at Charleston, South
Carolina, as proposed, in compliance with the principle community
coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) at coordinates (32-55-28 N.
and 79-41-58 W.). In addition, we find that this channel change is
acceptable under the 2 percent criterion for [de]{.underline}
[minimis]{.underline} impact that is applied in evaluating requests for
modification of initial DTV allotments under Section 73.623(c)(2). We
propose to substitute DTV Channel 34 for DTV Channel 53 for station
WCIV(TV) at Charleston with the following specifications:
----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------
State & City DTV Channel DTV power (kW) Antenna HAAT (m)
SC Charleston 34 340 597
----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -----------------
4\. Accordingly, we seek comments on the proposed amendment of the DTV
Table of Allotments, Section 73.622(b) of the Commission\'s Rules, for
the community listed below, to read as follows:
[Channel No.]{.underline}
[City]{.underline} [Present]{.underline} [Proposed]{.underline}
Charleston, South Carolina 35, 40, \*49 34, 35, 40,
52[^1] , 53, 59 \*49, 52, 59
5\. The Commission\'s authority to institute rule making proceedings,
showings required, cut-off procedures, and filing requirements are
contained in the attached Appendix and are incorporated by reference
herein. In particular, we note that a showing of continuing interest is
required by paragraph 2 of the Appendix before a channel will be
allotted.
6\. Interested parties may file comments on or before October 29, 2001,
and reply comments on or before November 13, 2001, and are advised to
read the Appendix for the proper procedures. Comments should be filed
with the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C.
20554. Additionally, a copy of such comments should be served on the
petitioner, or its counsel or consultant, as follows:
Thomas P. Van Wazer
Sidley & Austin
1722 Eye Street, NW
Washington, DC 20006
(Counsel for WCIV, LLC)
7\. The Commission has determined that the relevant provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 do not apply to rule making
proceedings to amend the TV Table of Allotments, Section 73.606(b) and
73.622(b) of the Commission\'s Rules. [See]{.underline} [Certification
That Sections 603 and 604 of the Regulatory]{.underline} [Flexibility
Act Do Not Apply to Rule Making to Amend Sections 73.202(b),
73.504]{.underline} [and 73.606(b) of the Commission\'s
Rules]{.underline}, 46 FR 11549, February 9, 1981. The Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980 would also not apply to rule making proceedings
to amend the DTV Table of Allotments, Section 73.622(b) of the
Commission\'s Rules.
8\. For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Pam
Blumenthal, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600. For purposes of this
restricted notice and comment rule making proceeding, members of the
public are advised that no [ex parte]{.underline} presentations are
permitted from the time the Commission adopts a Notice of Proposed Rule
Making until the proceeding has been decided and such decision is no
longer subject to reconsideration by the Commission or review by any
court. An [ex parte]{.underline} presentation is not prohibited if
specifically requested by the Commission or staff for the clarification
or adduction of evidence or resolution of issues in the proceeding.
However, any new written information elicited from such a request or a
summary of any new oral information shall be served by the person making
the presentation upon the other parties to the proceeding unless the
Commission specifically waives this service requirement. Any comment
which has not been served on the petitioner constitutes an [ex
parte]{.underline} presentation and shall not be considered in the
proceeding. Any reply comment which has not been served on the person(s)
who filed the comment, to which the reply is directed, constitutes an
[ex parte]{.underline} presentation and shall not be considered in the
proceeding.

Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283 of the Commission\'s Rules, IT IS

will be expected to answer whatever questions are presented in initial
comments. The proponent of a proposed allotment is also expected to file
comments even if it only resubmits or incorporates by reference its
former pleadings. It should also restate its present intention to apply
for the channel if it is allotted and, if authorized, to build a station
promptly. Failure to file may lead to denial of the request.
3\. [Cut-off protection]{.underline}. The following procedures will
govern the consideration of filings in this proceeding.
\(a\) Counterproposals advanced in this proceeding itself will be

on them in reply comments. They will not be considered if advanced in
reply comments. ([See]{.underline} Section 1.420(d) of the Commission\'s
Rules).
\(b\) With respect to petitions for rule making which conflict with the
proposals in this [Notice]{.underline}, they will be considered as
comments in the proceeding, and Public Notice to this effect will be
given as long as they are filed before the date for filing initial
comments herein. If they are filed later than that, they will not be
considered in connection with the decision in this docket.
\(c\) The filing of a counterproposal may lead the Commission to allot a
different channel than was requested for any of the communities
involved.
4\. [Comments and Reply Comments; Service]{.underline}. Pursuant to
applicable procedures set out in Sections 1.415 and 1.420 of the
Commission\'s Rules and Regulations, interested parties may file

acting on behalf of such parties must be made in written comments, reply
comments, or other appropriate pleadings. Comments shall be served on
the petitioner by the person filing the comments. Reply comments shall
be served on the person(s) who filed comments to which the reply is
directed. Such comments and reply comments shall be accompanied by a
certificate of service. ([See]{.underline} Section 1.420(a), (b) and (c)
of the Commission\'s Rules.) Comments should be filed with the
Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C. 20554.
5\. [Number of Copies]{.underline}. In accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.420 of the Commission\'s Rules and Regulations, an original

**C-VPESS Subcommittee on Valuation for National Rulemaking: Aquaculture
Rule Source Example: Overview of Aquatic Rule for C-VPESS Subcommittee**
**Valuation Issue**: What are the benefits associated with the new
regulations in the final rule? What were the benefits associated with
options described in the proposed rule?
**EPA Decision/Reason for Valuation:**
On June 30 2004, EPA finalized a new rule establishing effluent
limitations guidelines (ELGs) for concentrated aquatic animal production
(CAAP), or aquaculture, facilities. The regulation applied to CAAP
facilities that generate wastewater from their operations and discharge
that wastewater directly into waters of the United States.
The scope of the rule is described in Attachment 1. Attachment 2
provides a table of technologies required by the final rule compared
with other options considered by EPA
[Authority for and Genesis of Rule]{.underline}
Title III of the Clean Water Act (CWA) gives EPA authority to issue
effluent guidelines, national standards for wastewater discharges to
surface waters and publicly owned treatment works (municipal sewage
treatment plants). The standards are technology-based (i.e. they are
based on the performance of treatment and control technologies). They
are not based on risk or impacts upon receiving waters.
When EPA completed this regulation, it completed all the regulations
required by a January 1992 settlement with the Natural Resources Defense
Council and others, which established a schedule by which EPA would
consider regulations for 19 industrial categories. Section 304(m) of the
Clean Water Act governs how EPA works with the public in identifying
identify industries for which effluent guidelines need to be revised or
developed.
[Requirements for and Use of Cost-benefit Analysis]{.underline}
The CWA includes no mandate for cost-benefit analysis. As a
technology-based rule, decision-making centers on analysis of
cost-effectiveness. The CWA, however, does not prevent EPA
decision-makers from considering cost-benefit analysis as part of the
entire technical analysis supporting a decision.
Under Executive Order 12866 the Agency must determine whether a
regulatory action falls under the definition of a "significant
regulatory action" which requires a cost-benefit analysis and OMB
review. EPA generally conducts a cost-benefit analysis for rules that
might meet this trigger.
Information in cost-benefit analysis is used by decision makers,
especially for controversial issues. Analysts supplement formal
monetized cost-benefit analysis with narrative description of non
monetized benefits to explain benefits of different regulatory options.
These narrative descriptions are often removed stripped from final
assessments because of the time involved in developing them and
negotiating final language with OMB.
**Decision-maker who was to use analysis:** Acting Administrator,
**Other audiences for valuation information**:
Other audiences include: OMB and interested and affected parties (e.g.,
regulated entities, trade associations, environmental groups, and the
technical experts hired by these parties. In the case of some effluent
guidelines (not the aquaculture guidelines) regulated parties may be
interested in the valuation because they may have the ability to apply
for waivers from site-specific permits because particular circumstances
do not justify the cost-benefit standard established in the final
economic assessment.

The web page for the rule
(<http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/guide/aquaculture/>)
contains a more complete chronology and links to relevant documents:
**["Bottom-line" Costs and Benefits]{.underline}**
In the final assessment, EPA described the costs and benefits of the
final rule option in the following ways. The Agency provided "Estimated
Pre-Tax Annualized Compliance Costs and Monetized Benefits" (2003
dollars) (see Table ES-4 in the final assessment)
----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Estimated Total Costs \$1,445,000
Estimated total Benefits \$66,000 to \$99,000
----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
> "Monetized benefit categories are primarily in the areas of improved
> surface water quality (measured in terms of enhanced recreational
> value). EPA also identified a number of benefits categories that could
> not be monetized, including reductions in feed contaminants and
> spilled drugs and chemicals released to the environment, as well as
> better reporting of drug usage to permitting authorities." (p. ES-12)
In the proposed assessment (see p. 10-1), EPA described the benefits in
the following way:
> "EPA has quantified and monetized a subset of the anticipated benefits
> of the proposed action listed above. The central basis for the
> quantitative benefits analysis is a water quality modeling assessment
> that estimates water quality responses to the pollutant loading
> reductions under technology options described earlier in this
> document. Specifically, the benefits that EPA has been able to
> quantify are (a) water quality improvements in stream reaches
> downstream of flow-through and recirculating systems, and (b)
> improvements in the recreational use value of these same reaches.
> Benefits that were not quantified include water quality and ecological
> responses to pollutant loading reductions at net pen systems and
> ecological and other water resource benefits from reductions in
> releases of non-native species, aquatic animal pathogens, and drugs
> and chemicals used at CAAP facilities. EPA did not quantify or
> monetize these potential benefits due to lack of readily available
> assessment modeling tools for such an analysis. Thus, the estimated
> monetized benefits of the proposed action are based only on a portion
> of the expected environmental benefits of the proposed regulation."

**[Other Aspects of the Analytical Process]{.underline}**
**Data constraints:**
The CWA provides direct authority for EPA to survey industries
concerning technologies and costs related to effluent guidelines. OMB
review of such surveys under the Paperwork Reduction Act does not impede
development of regulations. There is no authority provided for data
collection related to the benefit of such regulations.
**Resource constraints:**
The Office of Science and Technology prepared the final assessment with
the support of Eastern Research Group, Incorporated and Tetra Tech.
**Peer review:**
The economic assessments were not peer reviewed nor were sections of the
documents peer reviewed because they did not include novel methods or
approaches.
**Attachment 1: Scope of Final Rule**
Excerpt from "Effluent Guidelines Aquatic Animal Production Industry
Final Rule - Fact Sheet"
http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/guide/aquaculture/fs-final.htm#
The rule requires that all applicable facilities:
- Prevent discharge of drugs and pesticides that have been spilled and
minimize discharges of excess feed.
- Regularly maintain production and wastewater treatment systems.
- Keep records on numbers and weights of animals, amounts of feed, and
frequency of cleaning, inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
- Train staff to prevent and respond to spills and to properly operate
and maintain production and wastewater treatment systems.
- Report the use of experimental animal drugs or drugs that are not
used in accordance with label requirements.
- Report failure of or damage to a containment system.
- Develop, maintain, and certify a Best Management Practice plan that
describes how the facility will meet the requirements.
The rule requires flow through and recirculating discharge facilities to
minimize the discharge of solids such as uneaten feed, settled solids,
and animal carcasses.
The rule requires open water system facilities to:
- Use active feed monitoring and management strategies to allow only
the least possible uneaten feed to accumulate beneath the nets.
- Properly dispose of feed bags, packaging materials, waste rope, and
netting.
- Limit as much as possible wastewater discharges resulting from the
transport or harvest of the animals.
- Prevent the discharge of dead animals in the wastewater.

**Suggested Guidance for C-VPESS Subcommittees Preparing Draft Text
Relating to EPA Valuation "Source Examples" for the May 9-10, 2006
C-VPESS meeting**
At the C-VPESS planning call on February 3, 2006, committee members
agreed to work in March and April in three subcommittees focusing on
three types of source examples of most apparent interest
- Valuation for national-level rule-making: Tentative focus: EPA
Office of Water Aquaculture rule;
- Valuation for regional decision-making: Tentative focus: Green
Infrastructure Mapping as a Decision-Support Tool
- Valuation for local decision-making: (tentative focus: Superfund
Site(s) combined with Traditional versus Sustainable Redevelopment
of Contaminated Properties)
C-VPESS members asked for guidance on the scope and general approach for
the source example exercise. The suggested guidance below is offered to
help subcommittees work in parallel to achieve the two major purposes of
the source-example exercise:
- to help the C-VPESS develop its *Applications Report*, which will
examine how EPA might conduct valuation studies in particular
decision contexts (e.g., national rule-making, regional decisions,
local decision-making) using a variety of methods.[^3]
- to help C-VPESS identify the extent to which the various methods
included in the current draft SAB C-VPESS *Methods Report* might be
used by EPA, to assess their strengths and weaknesses; and to shed
additional light on a number of cross-cutting issues that have been
identified for inclusion in that report.
This guidance suggests that subcommittees consider three major
questions:
A. How could EPA conduct ecological valuation as completely as possible
in the specific context provided by the source example?
B. How could EPA conduct ecological valuation in other contexts that
are similar to the specific context provided by the source example
but differ in some key aspect such as scale, data availability,
scientific uncertainty, etc.? In other words, how can the source
examples provide a starting point for a more general approach to
ecological valuation that would be useful to EPA?
C. Based on subcommittee discussions, how can the C-VPESS refine the
discussion of cross-cutting issues currently in the October 18, 2005
draft of the Methods Report[^4] and address other cross-cutting
issues identified at the December 2005 SAB Workshop, *Science for
Valuation of EPA\'s Ecological Protection Decisions and Programs*?
More detail related to these questions can be found in the attachment to
this guidance.
Subcommittee draft expanded narrative outline for the May 9-10 meeting
should represent the consensus views of subcommittee members or the
range of views held by them. Draft expanded narrative outlines should be
approximately 15-25 pages in length, provided to the Designated Federal
Officer by May 1, 2006 for distribution to the full committee.
**Attachment: Additional Detail on Three Major Questions for**
**C-VPESS "Source Example Subcommittees"**
A. **How could EPA conduct ecological valuation as completely as
possible in the specific context provided by the source example?**
> As a guide to this effort, each subcommittee can refer to the process
> diagram discussed earlier by the committee (see figure 1) and ask:
1. how could you identify the potentially important ecological changes?
2. how could you determine what people care about, and hence what
changes to focus on?
3. how can you quantify the ecological impacts in bio-physical terms?
4. how can you characterize and, if possible, quantify these impacts in
human (but non-monetary) terms?
5. if necessary, how might you quantify these impacts in monetary
terms?
![](media/image2.png){width="6.0in" height="4.743055555555555in"}
> In the process of answering these questions, each subcommittee can
> identify the extent to which the various methods included in the
> current draft SAB C-VPESS Methods Report
>
> (<http://www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/c-vpess_oct_18_2005_draft_12_methods_report.pdf>)
> might be used by EPA and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
>
> In regard to question 3, each subcommittee can also consider whether
> they found the Boyd and Banzhaf approach (Boyd and Banzhaf 2006)[^5]
> to defining ecosystem services to be helpful? If not, why not?
B. **What questions should be asked related to this type of valuation
that would make C-VPESS advice more generally useful to EPA? How can
the subcommittee change aspects of the source example to illuminate
potentially useful applications of analytical processes, methods and
data sets?**
- Subcommittees should ask:
- Are there special features to this valuation exercise that
analysts don't generally encounter?
- Are there regular features or issues associated with other
valuation exercises that this source example doesn't involve?
- Some suggestions from Committee Members:
- Could the issue raise concerns about the value of "natural" vs.
non-natural (e.g., genetically engineered, engineered, exotic
species) components of the ecosystem and does EPA's valuation
approach address these concerns? Are there appropriate methods
that could?
- Could the valuation issue involve valuation issues regarding
"bio-ecological" benefits (biodiversity, protection/restoration
of native plant/animal species, "naturalness") and some
important aesthetic benefits that can be represented visually
(e.g., natural beauty---which requires some specific piece of
landscape to represent)? If so present and discuss the role that
(non-economic) verbal and perceptual survey methods might play
in such a decision making process
C. **Based on subcommittee discussions, how can the C-VPESS refine the
discussion of cross-cutting issues currently in the October 18, 2005
draft of the Methods Report and address other cross-cutting issues
identified at the December 2005 SAB Workshop, Science for Valuation
of EPA\'s Ecological Protection Decisions and Programs?**
- Determination of who is appropriate to assign ecological values
(e.g., experts, non-experts) and related issues of sampling and
representativeness
- Selecting the endpoint or target to be valued
- Choice of spatial and temporal scale for the valuation
- Selecting appropriate descriptions or expressions of the
endpoint or target
- Spatial data issues
- Importance of quantifying and/or characterizing non-monetized
benefits in a way that is scientifically based, defensible,
verifiable (not just listing them and including as +B);
standardization is key; metrics to use?
- Data quality -- general characterization of data quality,
importance (or lack thereof) of response rates; use of knowledge
networks; questions about reaction vs. introspection; tradeoffs
between Type I and Type II errors; role of information (how
informed)
- Characterization of uncertainties
- Potential for data sharing -- making existing data (ecological,
economic, survey) readily available; data, model, and parameter
"banks"; making use of LTER, NEON; standardization of data

Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for the Concentrated
Aquatic Animal Production Industry (hereafter called "proposed
assessment") EPA-821-R-02-015
[^3]: More specifically, the source examples are intended:
to provide specifics about what should be done to characterize
ecological values more fully, not to critique EPA efforts or provide
detailed advice on specific cases
to provide context for a discussion of the practical issues that EPA
is likely to face in doing valuations, not to provide EPA with
analysis on specific valuations.
to provide a starting point for discussion of how varying details of
the examples (e.g., changing scale, type of pollutant, data
availability) might lead to use of different methods or approaches,
so that C-VPESS can generate general principles with applicability
beyond the specific details of the source examples.
to help the C-VPESS draft an Applications Report that would offer
guidelines for conducting ecological valuation in different decision
contexts with enough specificity to allow EPA analysts and decision
makers to make better informed choices about how to conduct and use
ecological valuations.

## General Information
- Separation of Duties
- To prevent even the appearance of waste, fraud or abuse, it is essential that there be a clear separation of duties between the purchaser and the recipient of new items, and the individual who enters the information about this newly acquired property into Sunflower. These processes should be performed by different individuals to ensure that the risk of loss through undetected diversion of property is minimized. When office size does not permit separation of these functions, internal procedures should demonstrate checks and balances exist to ensure that the possibility of fraud and abuse are minimized. The office manager will provide a written justification to their supervisor for the assignment of these multiple duties to one individual.
## General Information (Cont)
- Change of Procedures for reviewing CD435/ Purchase Requisitions
- Effective October 16th with the implementation of C-Request, Personal Property will no longer review CD 435’s and Purchase Requisitions

**NOAA AWARDS \$600,000 TO THE NATURE CONSERVANCY**
# * Funds will be used to restore critical marine habitat and protect aquatic species*
WASHINGTON, DC -- Across the United States, the loss and degradation of
coastal habitats has led to detrimental impacts on marine life and the
people who depend on our oceans and coasts. But increasing conservation
efforts and effective management can result in healthier oceans and
coasts for the benefit of people and nature.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Community-based Restoration Program supports projects to address the
conservation needs of America's critical coastal habitats. This year,
NOAA awarded The Nature Conservancy a grant of \$600,000 to implement
habitat restoration projects that will restore important marine habitat
and protect aquatic species across the country.
Since 2001, the Conservancy has partnered with the NOAA Restoration
Center to implement innovative conservation activities that benefit
marine, estuarine and riparian habitats on both coasts of the country,
as well as in the Gulf of Mexico and Hawaii. The Conservancy engages
coastal communities, stakeholders and other partners to carry out
conservation strategies that are tailored to local needs. These projects
protect coastal and marine habitat, restore species that are important
to ecosystem functions, remove invasive species, create shellfish
spawning sanctuaries and re-establish water flows to estuaries.
"NOAA's goals for habitat restoration are best accomplished through
strong community-based stewardship," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad
C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and
atmosphere and NOAA Administrator. "The public's active commitment to
restoring fisheries resources is integral to our success. I commend NOAA
CRP and partners like The Nature Conservancy for their dedication to
restore high quality fish habitat throughout our nation's coastal states
and Great Lakes, as well as parts of Canada and the Caribbean."
"As the Community-based Restoration Program celebrates 10 successful
years, we are proud to continue our partnership with NOAA in restoring
our country's coastal waters," said Steve McCormick, president and CEO
of The Nature Conservancy. "These waters are a critical resource for
millions of Americans, as well as marine plants and animals, and NOAA's
support is essential to our effective conservation work."
To date, NOAA grants to The Nature Conservancy have supported 58
on-the-ground restoration projects in 17 coastal states in the U.S.
Current projects identified for funding include oyster reef restoration
on the Pacific, East and Gulf of Mexico Coasts, salt marsh restoration
in Maine, clam and scallop restoration in New York and Florida, and
coral reef restoration in Florida and Hawaii**.** The Conservancy
connects people and ideas through the NOAA partnership, helping to build
restoration expertise and knowledge around the nation.
The NOAA Restoration Center Community-based Restoration Program (CRP) is
celebrating its 10-year anniversary as a financial and technical
assistance program that promotes strong partnerships at the national,
regional, and local level to restore fisheries habitat. NOAA CRP works
with organizations and government to support locally-driven habitat
restoration projects in marine, estuarine, and riparian areas. NOAA CRP
funds on-the-ground habitat restoration projects that (1) offer
educational and social benefits for citizens and their communities, and
(2) provide long-term ecological benefits for fishery resources. Since
1996, more than 1000 projects in 26 states, Canada, and the Caribbean
have been implemented using NOAA funding and leveraged funding from
national and regional habitat restoration partners.
Each year, NOAA awards approximately \$950 million in grants to members
of the academic, scientific, governmental, and business communities to
assist the agency in fulfilling its mission to study the Earth's natural
systems to predict environmental change, manage ocean resources, protect
life and property and provide decision makers with reliable scientific
information. NOAA goals and programs reflect a commitment to these basic
responsibilities of science and service to the nation for the past 36
years.

## Welcome
**Curators of Marine**** **
**(& now Lacustrine)**** **
**Geological Samples**
**30****th**** Anniversary Meeting**
## Greetings from Floyd McCoy, Chairperson of the original Curators’ Meeting in 1977
- “Please express my happiness that curatorial things continue from those slight beginnings so long ago...”
- 2007 – Floyd on sabbatical, about to crawl into a Greek submersible
**Notes:**
And now a note from the Chairperson of the original Curators’ Meeting:
“Well hi- from Crete! Oh my, 30 years... that's so nice to have an anniversary meeting. How I wish I could be there, but this coming academic year I am on sabbatical in Greece, first as a visiting research prof. at the Am. School of Classical Studies at Athens, and, second, as a Senior Fulbright Scholar (one of seven from the US to Greece). After seven years of running the faculty senate at UH, I need this break - and hope to get caught up in research with a bunch of papers done. At the moment I am on Crete doing geology at three arch. sites, and am just back from a 3 week cruise using the Greek ocean. ship "Aegeio" for geol., geophys. and arch. surveys just SE of Crete (no cores, though). I've attached a photo of me about to crawl into the Greek submersible for a deep dive (only to 500 m - my deepest was on Alvin to 10,000 ft. in the Pacific) where we found active methane vents. So, you see, my roots stay deep with going to sea as well as mapping on land. Please express my happiness that curatorial things continue from those slight beginnings so long ago.... Aloha and Yia sou, Floyd”

- 1st meeting & the 30th!
**Notes:**
Congratulations to Woody Wise for participating in the first gathering of Curators in the summer of 1977 and this meeting 30 years later. In the summer of 1977, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Representatives from LDGO, SIO, UW, FSU, USC, RSMAS, WHOI, OSU, USGSMP, URI, USGSWH, HIG, U Wisc, UT, and NGDSDC met in La Jolla, CA to discuss data dissemination, standardization of curating techniques and methods, funding problems, responsibilities of curators, and sampling equipment.
Following the meeting, a common data format was circulated. The format was finalized later in the fall of 1977 at a second meeting sponsored by NSF in Seattle.
## The Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples
**The Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples**
- Conceived at the first NSF-supported Curators’ meeting
- in 1977 by participants from the following institutions:
- FSU, HIG, LDEO, RSMAS, OSU, SIO, URI, USC,
- USGS, UW, U Wisc, UT, WHOI, & NGDC
**Objective of the Database:**
** *****Dissemination of standardized information on sample collections ***
***to the scientific community***
**Notes:**
NGDC realizes that the Curators’ Consortium, begun 30 years ago, is much more than a common database. NGDC congratulates this group and all previous participants for their success in sharing best practices, ideas, and information through this remarkable gathering of institutions. NGDC also salutes the National Science Foundation (NSF) for their vital role in supporting the curation of sea floor and lakebed sample material.
From the NGDC perspective, the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological samples database, built by both past and present contributing institutions, epitomizes the spirit of collaboration of the Curators’ group. NGDC is proud to be an honorary member of this group through our role as steward of your collective database.

218-219 MHz Service (formerly known as IVDS) Refund Procedures
This Public Notice summarizes the procedures and identifies the points of contact for the processing of
refunds authorized by the 218-219 MHz Order released by the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC or Commission") on September 10, 1999. For detailed information, refer to additional Public
Notices and other Commission decisions for the 218-219 MHz Service, which are at
http://www.fcc.gov/wtb/auctions/218rest/218rest.html.
Refunds will be processed via Automated Clearing House (ACH) credits. In order for the Commission
to issue refunds, each entity due a refund must submit a written request (see sample attached to this
Public Notice) along with information required to process the ACH transaction through the banking
system. The Commission will endeavor to issue refunds to all approved entities within 90 days of receipt
of written request. Please note that refunds related to the remedial bidding credit will be issued to the
payor of record of the up-front, first, and second down payments consistent with Auction procedures
on the refunds of up-front payments. Refunds of installment payments will be to the current licensee of
record as of the election date.
I. How do entities request refunds?
All refunds must be requested in writing to the Office of the Managing Director, Tom Putnam. Requests
may be mailed or delivered to: Federal Communications Commission, Office of the Managing Director,
Attn: 219-219 MHz Refunds (Mr. Putnam), Suite 1-A840, 445 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC
20554 or via fax to (202) 418-2843, Attn: Tom Putnam. The attachment to this Public Notice contains
sample refund requests and the SF 3881, ACH VENDOR/MISCELLANEOUS PAYMENT
ENROLLMENT FORM. You may obtain additional copies of the SF 3881 at
http://www.fms.treas.gov/pdf/3881.pdf or at the GSA web site at http://fillform.gsa.gov/.
II. Installment Payment Refunds
Both eligible and ineligible licensees qualify for a refund of their installment payments as outlined below:
A. Eligible Licensees of Record as of the Election Date:
The approval of a refund request depends upon the election made for each license.
1. Amnesty
The Commission will refund installment payments in their entirety to Eligible Licensees in this category
who have previously made installment payments. For an Eligible Licensee that elected Amnesty for all
of its licenses, the Commission will retain the down payment (less any remedial bidding credit refund)
and forgive the original principal balance and all interest payments due thereon.
2. Amnesty and Reamortization/Resumption
No installment payment refunds will be made to Licensees in this category; however, a credit may be
applied. For an Eligible Licensee that held more than one license and elected Amnesty for one or more
of its licenses, and Reamortization/Resumption for its other license(s), all installment payments made on
the Amnesty license(s) will be credited towards the outstanding balance due on the license(s) for which
Reamortization/Resumption was elected. The installment payment credits will be applied against the
accrued and unpaid interest on the retained license(s), with any excess funds being applied to the
principal balance on each retained license. The installment payment credits will be prorated based on
the net high bids of the retained licenses.
3. Prepayment (Prepayment-Retain/Prepayment-Return)
Eligible Licensees electing Prepayment were permitted to retain or return as many licenses as they
wished. The Commission will forgive all of the interest due on the retained licenses from grant date until
the Election Date; however, Eligible Licensees must pay off the original principal balance of the
license(s) they retained. Eligible Licensees will be given a prepayment credit equal to 85% of the down
payment and 100% of the installment payment(s) made on the license(s) they returned to the
Commission. If the original principal balance of the license(s) the Eligible Licensee retained is greater
than the prepayment credit, the additional amount due is called "new money," and must be remitted to
the Commission on or before April 30, 2001. If the prepayment credit is greater than the original
principal balances, the excess prepayment credits will be refunded to the licensee to the extent that the
funds were generated from installment payments. No excess prepayment credits generated from down
payments will be refunded.
B. Ineligible Entities:
Ineligible Entities will have all previously paid installment payments refunded.
III. Remedial Bidding Credits
Where an Eligible Licensee or Ineligible Entity paid its first and second down payment and met the small
business qualifications at the time of the July 1994 auction, but did not receive a woman- or minority-
owned small business bidding credit at the time of auction, the Commission will process a refund based
on the 25% remedial bidding credit. Because entities that registered as a woman- or minority-owned
small business received a biding credit at the time of auction, no refund is generated by the small
business bidding credit. Where licensees paid for their licenses in full and met the qualifications for a
small business at the time of auction, and did not receive the credit as a women- or minority- owned
business, the Commission will process a refund based on the remedial bidding credit.
The refund of excess down payment due to the remedial bidding credit is separate and distinct from the
218-219 MHz restructuring plan. Eligible Licensees should not anticipate utilizing the remedial bidding
credit refund to meet any payment obligations to the Commission that may exist after the recalculation of
balances or installment payments due on retained licenses. The payment deadline obligations of the
licensee may not correspond with the refund of the remedial bidding credit, and the Commission will not
credit, or offset, the amount owed after the recalculation based upon the anticipated refund. In addition,
the Commission is not responsible for remitting any remedial bidding credit refund before the licensee's
payment deadline.
IV. Whom do I contact for a status of my refund?
Tom Putnam at (202) 418-8242 or Gail Glasser at (202) 418-1995 in the Office of the Managing
Director.
V. When should I expect to receive my refund?
The Commission will endeavor to issue refunds to all parties within approximately 60 from the receipt of
the completed written request.

- The U.S. program in particle physics is at a crossroads. The continuing vitality of the program requires new, decisive, and forward-looking actions. In addition, sustained leadership requires a willingness to take the risks that always accompany leadership on the scientific frontier. Thus, the committee recommends the thoughtful pursuit of a high-risk, high-reward strategy.
**Committee on Elementary Particle Physics in the 21st Century, National Research Council (2006)**
**Revealing the Hidden Nature of Space and Time: Charting the Course for Elementary Particle Physics **
## It seems natural to neglect gravity in particle physics
## Tests of Gravity at Macroscopic Distances
- Laboratory
- Earth/Moon (Lunar Laser Ranging)
- Solar System (VLBI, Doppler/radio ranging, GPS)
- Binary Pulsars
- Black Hole in the Milky Way
- Cosmic Microwave Background
- Gravitational-wave detectors (bars, interferometers)
**Gravity regime tested in the solar system:**
- weak field (U << c2)
- slow motion (v << c)
**Gravity regime tested in binary pulsars:**
- strong field (U ≤ c2)
- slow motion (v << c)
- radiation-reaction force 2.5 post-Newtonian approximation
## Why Do We Need to Measure Gravity at Microscopic Scale?
**Over the past 50 years accelerators have explored the energy range from 1 MeV in nuclear reactions up to about 1000 GeV at the Tevatron. We have a remarkably accurate theory to predict and explain what we see at present**

- Casimir force+1/r2 law
- parameterization of the presumable violation of the Newtonian 1/r2 law.
## Gravity Field in Fermilab
- Weak (U << c2)
- Ultra-relativistic (v c)
- Post-Newtonian
- _Possible experiments:_
- Post-Newtonian gravity force produced by magnetic stresses and mechanical strains
- Gravity force at ultra-relativistic velocities (testing standard theory extension, other possible long-range relativistic forces between particles)
## The Tevatron Characteristics
**The Tevatron Characteristics**
**6**
## Local Inertial Reference Frame
*x1 = X*
*x3 = Z*
*x2 = Y*
## The metric tensor in the local frame
- Acceleration of gravity 9.81 m/s2
- Luni-solar tidal force
- Angular velocity of
- the Earth’s rotation
## Forces exerted on proton in the beam
- Protons in the beam falls down to Earth
- with acceleration of gravity twice as g=9.81 m/s2
## Tevatron Magnets
***Two main types of magnets: dipole and quadrupole. Dipoles are able to bend a particle beam. Quadrupoles focus the particle beams. ***
***The strength of the magnetic field is determined by the amount of electric current flowing through the coils. The 8-Tesla magnetic field requires current of 12,000 amperes. ***
***The SC magnets rely on a niobium-titanium compound. At ~10 K, the NTC becomes super-conducting and carries electric currents without resistance. ***
***Fermilab operates its 4.4 Tesla magnets. ***
***The magnets are bathed in 4.2-Kelvin liquid helium******.****** ***
**Tevatron Magnet Cross Section**
## Magnetic Field Structure in Tevatron Magnet
## Gravity by the Magnetic Stress
- General relativity predicts that gravity should be produced by stress as well as by mass-energy of matter
- Magnetic field is a matter field with energy and stresses (Maxwell’s tensor)
- Post-Newtonian gravity field of a magnet crucially depends on the magnetic (and mechanical) stress besides the part generated by mass-energy
**“****Believe it or not, gravity and magnetism are two totally different and **
** ****really unrelated phenomena.” **
** ****WikiAnswers ****http://wiki.answers.com/**** **
## The Gravity by the Magnetic Stress Why is it important to study?
- _Astrophysics:_ the maximum mass of neutron (and quark) stars depends on stress-produced by magnetic field
- _Gravitational Physics:_ validity of the principle of equivalence depends on how the stress contributes to the inertial and gravitational masses of a self-gravitating body (motion of binary pulsars, the effacing principle _[gr-qc/0612017](http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006gr.qc....12017K)__)_
## Gravity by the Magnetic Stress.
- Current circulating in magnet’s coil generates the magnetic force
- The magnetic force leads to mechanical deformations that cause stresses in the material of the magnet that are comparable with the magnetic stress
- Strain-stress tensor calculation:
- L. Landau & E. Lifshitz “Electrodynamics of Continuum Media**”**

## Torsion balance in University of Washington
- The free resonant period of our balances is about 2 mHz.
- The torsional spring constant is about 0.03 in cgs units and the angular displacement sensitivity is about radians. A typical level arm of
- our torsion balances is about 2.5 cm. So the force sensitivity is about
- cgs units or Newtons.
- The quality factor of our torsion oscillator is about 5000. But if the signal has a definite period (as is the case in all of our experiments so far) one can integrate much for longer longer times (and we do so).
- To resolve radians of angular deflection (given our noise and other disturbances) we need days of running time.
**Torsion balance in University of Washington **
## Long range forces and spontaneous violation of the Lorentz symmetry
- One may expect that the Lorentz invariance for gravity field is spontaneously broken.
- Theories with spontaneous local Lorentz and diffeomorphism violation contain massless
- Nambu-Goldstone modes, which arise as field excitations in the minimum of the

- the minimum, then an alternative gravitational Higgs mechanism can occur in which

## Local Lorentz Invariance
- [Credit: Clifford M. Will]
***The limits***** *****assume a speed of the solar system of***** 370 km/s *****relative to the mean rest frame of the universe that is considered as a preferred frame. ***
***However, a genuine test of the Lorentz invariance of gravity must not rely upon this assumption (requires an experiment in a variable gravitational field)***

- In general relativity ultra-
- relativistic gravity force behaves
- similar to the synchrotron EM radiation
## What makes it plausible to measure the ultra-relativistic force of gravity in Tevatron?
- The bunch consists of N=3×1011 protons
- Ultra-relativistic speed = large Lorentz factor
- =1000
- Synchrotron character of the force = beaming factor gives additional Lorentz factors
- Spectral density of the gravity force grows as a power law as frequency decreases
- The gravity force is a sequence of pulses (45000 “pushes” per second 36 bunches =1,620,000)
## Einstein-Maxwell Equations
## The Reissner-Nordström Metric (an exact solution of Einstein-Maxwell equations)
- If q>>m, the two horizons disappear and the singularity becomes a naked one. Many physicists believe that such a situation can't arise: there is a principle of "cosmic censorship", which prevents naked singularities from ever forming. Theories with super-symmetry usually guarantee that such "super-extremal" black holes can't exist.

# FOOD SERVICE DEPARTMENT
## NUTRITION PROGRAM
[Breakfast]{.underline}
- Breakfast includes some traditional comfort foods such as pancakes,
eggs and sausage. However, we make our pancakes fresh! We mix the
batter and grill the flapjacks. We also offer scrambled eggs and
three choices of sausages (pork, turkey and vegetarian) to ensure
all students have dining options.
- Fresh fruit, both fruit salad and whole fruit, is served at
breakfast everyday. Fresh fruits, especially strawberries, honeydew
melon, watermelon, and mangos have been a huge hit with the
students. There is often a line at the fruit bar!
- Our cereal bar has such cereals as Grape Nuts, Just Right, and
Special K among others.
- We have found that students are very visual when it comes to
products served to them. For instance, we were buying name brand
Yoplait yogurts and they were going uneaten. We switched to TRIX
yogurt (made by the same manufacturer). This yogurt tastes the same
and has the same calories, fat, and nutrients as the Yoplait, but
the label is different, and the students could not get enough.
[Lunch and Dinner]{.underline}
- Many foods, including ethnic dishes, are prepared from scratch, in
lieu of heat and serve items. To save time, some precut, frozen
vegetables and other products are used, but sauces, garnishes, and
seasonings are always homemade.
- Food preparation has undergone dramatic changes. Fish is baked or
broiled; meats are grilled, steamed or baked. Frying is avoided
whenever possible.
- Students always have choices. Our lunch menu always consists of two
meat entrees, a fish entrée and a vegetarian entrée. We acknowledge
that vegetarian students need more than a salad bar. We serve
vegetable ravioli, wraps, tofu, Veggie Riblets, roasted portabella
mushroom caps, sautéed spinach with griller strips, and stuffed
butternut squash regularly.
- An extensive salad bar is available to the staff and students. The
salad bar consists of two types of lettuce or spinach, fresh
seasonal vegetables, low-fat side salads, and fruit. Entrée salads,
such as Greek or Caesar salads are often offered as a menu item.
- Specialty dishes include shrimp lo-mein and the ethnic meals that
our students request. We strive to make ethnic meals authentic. Many
recipes come from students or their parents. We also have the
students help prepare their recipes (after a food safety course).
- As a treat, our center often serves fresh seafood. We make snow crab
legs, shrimp skewers, catfish, salmon, Pollack filets and flounder.
We have baked or broiled fish available daily at lunch and dinner.
[Beverage Service]{.underline}
- We have added more juice selections, removed the Cola and replaced
it with coke zero- a no sugar, cola that does not taste like diet.
We have also added a Crystal Lite machine in the café that offers a
low calorie, sugar free beverage that is refreshing to drink.
- Vending machines contain fruit drinks and water. Students have to
actively seek out soft drinks.
[Weight Improvement Programs]{.underline}
- We use a point system (similar to Weight Watchers) for students who
are concerned about their calorie and fat intake. The points are
based on each individual's needs.
- The USDA food guide, **mypyramid.gov,** is used to plan healthy
meals. Students are able to log on, type in their age and gender,
and the system will give them information on what foods to eat, how
much of each food to eat, and exercise.
- Students can use a brochure created by the Health and Wellness
Center and Food Services to keep track of what they eat. Students
are encouraged to utilize this system after leaving Job Corps.
[Food Procurement/Budgeting]{.underline}
In order to serve healthy foods within a budget, much work is put into
comparison-shopping and negotiating prices with vendors.
- Products are purchased from several different vendors to create
competition and allow for comparison-shopping. Items are purchased
from two large national vendors, a local vendor, a bakery, and a
local dairy, among others. This allows the center to offer a larger
variety of items, ensure freshness of items through multiple
deliveries, and keep prices down.
- Heat and serve convenience foods are limited. This allows the center
to purchase more fresh items.
[Teamwork]{.underline}
- Food service works very close with the wellness center and with the
recreation department to make sure the students learn about and see
results from a healthier lifestyle.
- A food committee is active in menu planning.

converted_docs | 347550 | **Recent Gains and Losses in Maryland Stream-Gaging Network**
The Maryland stream-gaging network has had some ups and downs in
2005-2006. Eight long-term stream gages were threatened with
discontinuation due to lack of State and local funding in the fall of
2005. The affected gages are on Big Elk Creek, Casselman River,
Piscataway Creek, Zekiah Swamp Run, St. Mary's River, St. Clements
Creek, Morgan Creek, and Unicorn Branch. Two of these eight have since
been funded by the State---DNR agreed to support the gage on Big Elk
Creek and MDE agreed to support the gage on Casselman River. Following
an unsuccessful attempt to identify potential new funding partners, the
other six gages were discontinued in February 2006. However, in May
2006, DNR agreed to provide support for restarting these six
discontinued gages beginning in July 2006.
In addition, gages in Baltimore City on Maidens Choice Run and Gwynns
Run, and a Baltimore County gage on Minebank Run, were discontinued as
planned in October 2005. A long-term gage on the Potomac River at
Shepherdstown was discontinued in the spring of 2005 due to funding
problems. On the positive side, new gages were started on Stony Run in
Baltimore City in the spring of 2005, on Powder Mill Run and Scotts
Level Branch in Baltimore County in the fall of 2005, and on Sand Spring
Run on the campus of Frostburg State University in the spring of 2005.
Plans are underway to restart two discontinued gages in July
2006---Pocomoke River near Willards and Town Creek near Oldtown---and to
establish new gages on Evitts Creek and Fifteenmile Creek. The Pocomoke
gage will be supported by DNR and the three western Maryland gages will
be supported by the Pennsylvania DEP. Also, DNR plans to support a gage
on Corsica River in the summer of 2006, and MDE plans to support a gage
on Little Blackwater River, also this summer. Finally, a proposal has
been submitted in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service to initiate
two to three new gages in the Gunpowder River watershed in late 2006.

## Put the DOI data in functional units in the DOI record [Handle]; and the knowledge of what to do with them in the client
Demonstrated with an end-user client (Acrobat) but equally applicable to middleware
No constraints on adding additional functional units to a given DOI
A common approach – could use same Handle record to manage pdf, html, mobile, etc., hence efficient in deploying content across platforms
The resolution to returned metadata through Application Profiles allows complex applications
Provided a complete packaged solution: numbering, resolution, metadata, policies
On which individual applications and services can be built
The same additional components could be of interest to other Handle applications: metadata, policies
Avoid reinvention of the wheel

The single, but good specimen of this plant, does not agree,, I think, with any one described by American authors or Persoon. I therefore venture to point it out by the above name, taken from the singular form of its stipules. It approaches nearest to V. sylvatica.
Stem flexuosely bent, subpubescent, angular and much grooved. Peduncles equal to the leaves. Leaflets numerous, sometimes alternate, sometimes opposite, narrow, oblong, entire, obtuse, with a short mucro, sprinkled with hair on the upper surface, and almost canescently so on the under.

## Important note to readers
- The “bell curve” slides in this presentation (slides number 20 & 21) were designed to simply give a non-technical audience in a few seconds a feel for the implications of the complicated analytical model recommended by the Institute of Medicine for assessing the percent of a population with inadequate (or excessive) intakes. Those seeking a more complete description of this assessment methodology should see the excellent description in ***Dietary Reference Intakes: Applications in Dietary Assessment. *****Institute of Medicine, 2000**
## 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the New Dietary Reference Intakes:Potential Implications for the NSLP and SBP Meals
**Jay Hirschman, MPH, CNS**
- Director, Special Nutrition Staff
- Office of Analysis, Nutrition and Evaluation
- USDA Food and Nutrition Service
**Clare Miller, MS, RD**
- Senior Nutritionist
- Child Nutrition Division
- USDA Food and Nutrition Service
## FNS Programs
- FNS administers 15 domestic nutrition assistance programs
- these programs serve 1 in 5 people in the U.S. each year
- While the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) will influence most programs, a few merit special attention:
**National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP)**
- Food Stamp Program (FSP)
- Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
- These four programs represent roughly 89% of FNS program spending in FY 2005
## The 2006-2007 Horizon
**Publication of Proposed Rule regarding implementation of 2005 DGA in NSLP and SBP**
**Publication of Proposed Rule regarding WIC food package changes **
**Publication of revised Thrifty Food Plan market basket (FSP) **
## Nutrition Standards Governing FNS Programs
**NSLP:** Meet 1/3 of the RDAs, and are consistent with goals of the DGA
**SBP:** Meet 1/4 of the RDAs, and are consistent with the goals of the DGA
**WIC:** Foods that promote the health of the population served...as indicated by relevant nutrition science, public health concerns, and cultural eating patterns
**FSP:** Raise nutrition levels of low-income households; benefit levels are based on the cost of USDA’s Thrifty Food Plan, a low-cost nutritious diet for a family of four persons
## General Considerations for Program Change
- Administrative
- Cost
- Burden
- Feasibility
- Customers/Target Population
- Participation & Satisfaction
- Hunger prevention
- Hungry children don’t learn as well
- Disruptive children impede the learning of others
- Net Value of the Changes
## 16 Percent of Children and Adolescents are OverweightPrevalence of Overweight among Children and Adolescents
**NHANES 1999-2002 DHHS/NCHS: % with BMI at or above 95****th**** percentile**
**16 Percent of Children and Adolescents are Overweight****Prevalence of Overweight among Children and Adolescents**
## NSLP/SBP: Reimbursable Meals
- Key issue is defining the food and nutrient requirements for a ***reimbursable meal***
**Reimbursable meals**
- meals served through NSLP and SBP that meet the _**food and nutrient**_ requirements outlined in regulation are eligible for federal reimbursements;
- foods served outside of NSLP/SBP (e.g. a la carte, vending) are not reimbursable.
## NSLP/SBP: Current Requirements for Reimbursable Meals
**Nutrients in meals are averaged over a school week; weekly averages must meet regulatory standards**
**1/3 of RDA for protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A and vitamin C at lunch; 1/4 of RDA for these nutrients at breakfast**
**Appropriate level of **_**calories**_** for age/grade groups**
**Consistent with the DGA**
**Limit the percent of calories from **_**total fat**_** to 30% of the actual number of calories offered**
**Limit the percent of calories from **_**saturated fat**_** to less than 10% of the actual number of calories offered**
**Reduce **_**sodium**_** ****and**** **_**cholesterol**_** levels**
**Increase the level of dietary **_**fiber**_
## NSLP/SBP: Current Requirements for Reimbursable Meals
- Four menu planning options
- Two food-based systems
- schools must *offer* at least five food items
- specified quantities of milk, meat/meat alternates, fruits/vegetables, and grains
- Two nutrient-based systems
- reimbursable meals must contain a minimum of three menu items
- specific food requirements include an entrée and fluid milk
- Offer vs. Serve (OVS)
- Students may refuse certain menu items, as long as they accept the minimum number of components
## In 1998-99 More Schools Offered Students the Opportunity to Select a Low Fat Lunch ...but even a dietitian couldn’t select a low fat NSLP meal at 10 to 35% of schools

## Why is Change Needed?A Bit of History on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs)
**First issued in 1980 by USDA and DHHS**
**By law, updated every 5 years**
**1990: first DGA quantitative recommendations for:**** **
**percent of calories from total fat (not more than 30% of total calories)**
**saturated fat (less than 10% of total calories)**
## Why is Change Needed?The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs)
**The current **
**NSLP/SBP**
**Rules are **
**Based on **
**the **
**1995 DGAs**
**2005 DGAs**
**10 years **
**newer;**
**Reflect **
**the DRIs**
## Why is Change Needed?The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs)
**New quantitative recommendations for certain foods and nutrients**
**Nutrients: **
**total fat:**** **
**ages 2 - 3 years = 30 to 35% of calories**
**ages 4-18 years = 25 to 35 % of calories **
**mostly from fish, nuts and vegetable oils**
**saturated fat:**** less than 10% of total calories**
**cholesterol:**** less than 300 mg/day**
**sodium****: less than 2,300 mg/day**
**fiber****: 14 grams per 1,000 calories**
**Foods:**
**fat-free or low-fat milk:**** **
**2 cups/day for ages 2-8**
**3 cups/day for ages 9-18**
**whole grains:**** at least 1⁄2 of bread/grain consumption**
## 2005 DGAs: Nine Focus Areas
**Adequate nutrients within calorie needs**
**Weight management**
**Physical activity**
**Food groups to encourage**
**Fats**
**Carbohydrates**
**Sodium and potassium**
**Alcoholic beverages**
**Food safety**
## Basic premises of the Dietary Guidelines...
***“******Good nutrition is vital to good health and is absolutely essential for the healthy growth and development of children and adolescents.”***
***“...******nutrient needs should be met primarily through consuming foods.”***
## Grain Recommendations Compared to Consumption
- Consumed*
- Recommended
***Consumption by males 9-13**
**Refined grains**
**Whole Grains**
## Vegetable Recommendations Compared to Consumption
**Vegetable Recommendations ****Compared to Consumption**
- Consumed*
- Recommended
***Consumption by females 9-13**
**Dark Green**
**Orange**
**Legumes**
**Starchy**
**Other Vegetables**
## Nutrients of Concern for Children
- Calcium
- Potassium
- Fiber
- Magnesium
- Vitamin E
**Notes:**
The 2005 DGA have now identified nutrients that are of special concern for children.
Calcium
Potassium (currently not on Nutrition Facts label)
Fiber
Magnesium (not on Nutrition Facts label)
Vitamin E (not on Nutrition Facts label)
With the SMI nutrition standards, we have been tracking or monitoring certain nutrient as an indicator of an adequate diet. These proxy nutrients are:
calcium,
iron,
vitamin A,
vitamin C and
fiber.
These nutrients are also identified on the Nutrition Facts Panels, making the information readily available for schools and state reviewers.
## MyPyramid Recommendations Compared to Consumption*
**Increases**
**Current Consumption **
**Decreases**
** ****Fruits **** **** Vegetables Grains Meat & Beans Milk**** **
- *Consumption data from NHANES 2001-2002
**Notes:**
How do the final food intake patterns compare with what Americans now eat? This graph depicts that comparison for two age-sex groups, shown as the percent change needed to meet recommendations.
The zero line indicates the amount currently consumed, and the bars indicate the percent increase (above the zero line) or decrease (below the zero line) in consumption that is needed to meet recommendations. This slide shows the five food groups. To meet recommendations individuals need a substantial increase in consumption for four food groups—fruits, vegetables, meat and beans, and milk.
Consumption data is based on NHANES 01-02 data
## Specific Questions: NSLP/SBP Calories
**How should **_**calorie**_** levels be determined?**
**School meal calorie levels are currently based upon the 1989 RDA for calories; this RDA provided one calorie level per age**
**The 2005 DGA and the new DRIs provide calorie ranges based on activity level (sedentary, low active, active, very active) at each age**
**Challenge to meet individual needs of children in a group feeding situation while minimizing both hunger and obesity**
## DRI Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) by Activity Level, Ages 6 to 11 Yearsvs. Current Basis for NSLP/SBP Calories
## Specific Questions: NSLP/SBP Sodium
**Should a maximum level be set for **_**sodium**_**?**
**Previous DGAs have not recommended a specific value for sodium intake, rather to consume sodium in moderation**
**Both DGA 2005 and the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) now recommend a clear Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for daily sodium intake**
**Data from the *****School Nutrition and Dietary Assessment Study-II***** (SNDA-II) indicate that high school lunches contain about ****1,380 mg**** of sodium**
****** ****if current DGA/DRI guidance is followed, the maximum amount of sodium allowable in a high school lunch would be about ****770 mg**** *****(44% reduction)***
**Notes:**
UL:
4-8 yrs = 1900mg
9-13 yrs = 2200mg
≥14 yrs = 2300mg
## Current Sodium Intake
- Source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/databriefs/calories.pdf
**3877**
**2896**
**3500**
**2993**
## Specific Questions: NSLP/SBP Trans Fats
**Should a maximum level be set for *****trans***** fats?**
***trans***** fats have not previously been addressed in the DGA or monitored in school meals**
**The 2005 DGA recommends that intake of *****trans***** fats be minimized; *****trans***** fats will be added to the nutrition facts panel of food products in January, 2006**
**Challenge in minimizing planning & monitoring requirements while following DGA**
## Specific Questions: NSLP/SBP Fiber
**Should a minimum level be set for **_**fiber**_**?**
**Currently, schools are encouraged to increase fiber in school meals, but a specific numeric target is not set**
**The 2005 DGA offers clear recommendation of **
** ****14 g/1000 kcal**** for fiber intake across all ages**
**Data from CSFII 1994-96 indicate that the mean intake of fiber **
**at lunch by NSLP participants was about 5 g**
**SBP participants consumed about 3 g at breakfast**
**The new guidelines would necessitate offering approximately**
**6 to 8 g of fiber at breakfast**
**7 to 11 g at lunch**
**depending on the age group being served**
## Specific Questions: NSLP/SBP
**Which nutrients should be regulated?**
- Three of the “nutrients of concern” for children in the 2005 DGA are not on the nutrition facts panel
- magnesium
- potassium
- vitamin E
_*Challenge*_*:*
- determining which nutrients are the best “proxies” for overall diet quality among school children
- how to reliably estimate the content of nutrients not on the nutrition facts panel of school foods
## FNS Program Considerations Beyond the DGA
- Reducing the prevalence of inadequate and excessive nutrient intakes among participants (DRI)
- including reducing excess calories that contribute to overweight and obesity
- Foods are readily acceptable, widely available and commonly consumed; take into account cultural food preferences; and provide incentives for program participation
- Program design must facilitate good management and integrity
***And in the non-school programs...*** Foods are available in forms suitable for low-income persons who may have limited transportation, storage, and cooking facilities

**Notes:**
So how do we go about providing atomic data for these (fusion) plasma processes?
One way is through setting up of atomic databases: eg ORNL and ADAS.
Provide data on all collisional radiative processes: e-impact excitation/ionization,
Charge exchange, proton/heavy particle impact excitation, recombination (dielectronic and radiative) etc.
More available information on websites shown.
Emphasize that most of the atomic calculations made by our group result in (possibly large quantities) of atomic data which is then posted on these websites in formats suitable for use by plasma modelers. We aim to provide high-quality atomic data and so we use some leading theoretical methods

## Electron-impact excitation of Li and Li+
** **
***Electron-impact excitation of Li and Li******+***
- R-matrix with Pseudo States (RMPS) method has been used for many electron-impact excitation cross section calculations
- In these calculations use of pseudo states reflected the importance of accurately representing the coupling to the continuum
- Systems of importance in fusion research, dramatic revision of accepted rate coefficients
**Li**: Griffin et al, Phys. Rev. A (2001)
**Li****+****:** Ballance et al, J. Phys. B (2003)
**C****2+****:** Mitnik et al, J. Phys. B (2003)
**C****3+****:** Griffin et al, J. Phys. B (2000)
**Notes:**
So, studied electron-impact excitation of many light atoms and atomic ions; some examples given here. Chiefly used RMPS method although for some calculations these have been confirmed by selected TDCC calculations.
However, including these states can give an order of magnitude increase in the size of the matrices which would lead to three orders of magnitude increase in the time required for the calculations
Importance of coupling of the bound states to the continuum in R-matrix calculations
Y-axis is collision strength which is closely related to the cross section (find out exactly how?)
## Electron-impact excitation of heavier ions
** **
***Electron-impact excitation of heavier ions***
- Large R-matrix calculations (with no pseudo states) contain many levels to represent the low-lying bound states accurately
- Ne+: Griffin et al, J. Phys. B (2001)
- Ne4+: Griffin et al, J. Phys. B (2000)
- Ne5+: Mitnik et al, J. Phys. B (2001)
- Fe20+: Badnell & Griffin, J. Phys. B (2001)
- Fe21+: Badnell et al, J. Phys. B (2001)
- Fe23+: Whiteford et al, J. Phys. B (2002)
- Fe24+: Whiteford et al, J. Phys. B (2002)
- Fe25+: Ballance et al, J. Phys. B (2002)
**Notes:**
Massively parallel computer codes needed to run these large calculations
Neon calculations made in ICFT representation
Point to make here is that previous calculations (on Li, C, etc) had relatively small structure components (few electrons) and large pseudo state expansions to get accurate continuum coupling effects incorporated.
These calculations on neon and iron type systems need large structure (also with intermediate coupling) to get low-lying bound states accurately. These massive calculations cannot, yet, have pseudo state incorporated into them, so we only can examine transitions to low lying states.
Also, big effort of course to look at Fe systems due to its importance astrophysically. (Ask Mitch; should I mention Iron Project of Berrington/Badnell UK group?)
## Electron-impact ionization of lithium
- Demonstrated importance of treating the three-body Coulomb problem using non-perturbative methods
- Large differences with perturbative calculations on the order of 50 – 100 % in ionization cross section
***J. Colgan, M. S. Pindzola, D. M. Mitnik, D. C. Griffin, and I. Bray, Phys. Rev. Lett. (2001)***
***Li (2s)***
***Li (2p)***
**Notes:**
Here say experimental measurements (of Zapesochnyi and Aleksakin) are from 1969(!). It seemed distorted-wave theory (perturbative) agreed well with them. When this was revisited, recently, it was found that new, state-of-the-art theoretical calculations were significantly below the old experiment and perturbative theory. 3 completely independent theories now were in excellent agreement, highlighting need for new experimental measurements, and also showing that previous plasma models using older theoretical/experimental data would be using data in error by ~50% or more.
Make sure that I explain what ‘new’ theoretical calculations are; TDCC time-dependent (wave-packet) close-coupling calculations. RMPS are based on well-known R-matrix theory (of Burke), and CCC are convergent close-coupling calculations.
Ionization of excited state lithium (from 2p). NO experimental measurements. Again perturbative theories way too high – almost by a factor of 2 at the peak of the cross section. Although population of excited states will probably be lower than that of ground state, magnitude of the cross sections shows that it will contribute significantly to the ionization rate (coefficients).
good agreement with a more recent experiment in a higher energy range (away from the peak of the cross section).
## Electron-impact ionization of Be
**Red line: TDCC**** **
**Green line: DWIS(N)**
**Black line: DWIS(N-1)**
**Blue circles: CCC**
- Large differences near ionization threshold and cross section peak between the perturbative and nonperturbative calculations
- No experimental measurements with which to compare for either configuration
*** ******J. Colgan, S. D. Loch, M. S. Pindzola, C. P. Ballance, and D. C. Griffin, Phys. Rev. A (2003)***
***Be(1s******2******2s******2)***
***Be(1s******2******2s2p)***
**Notes:**
Needs to be obvious what each line is – bigger legend or put it in right hand box.
Explain 2 different types of DW; DWIS(N) is both incident and scattered electrons calculated in VN potential;
DWIS(N-1) is both incident and scattered electrons calculated in VN-1 potential
Also mention (if pushed) that lower graph has TDCC calculations from the 2p sub-shell of Be only! Lower line shows the DW contribution from the 2s sub-shell.
Also talk about difference in rate coefficient with distorted-wave – around a factor of 10 at low energy. Got a figure if required?
## Dielectronic Recombination
***Dielectronic Recombination***
- Project well underway to calculate dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for complete isoelectronic sequences
- Currently completed H-like through Be-like sequence
- Moving onto second row of periodic table
- Theoretical approach most accurate at high temperatures where recombination project is focused towards fusion plasma applications
_***Theory & Methodology:***_*** Badnell et al, A&A (2003)***
_***H-like ions:***_*** Badnell et al, A&A (2003)***
_***He-like ions:***_*** Badnell et al, A&A (2003)***
_***Li-like ions:***_*** Colgan, Pindzola, and Badnell, A&A (2003)***
_***Be-like ions:***_*** Colgan, Pindzola, Whiteford, and Badnell, A&A (2003)***
**Notes:**
Many experiments for Li-like systems; good agreement found
Again, this project has astrophysical relevance (as well as fusion) as DR is probably dominant electron-ion recombination mechanism in astrophysical plasmas.
Plays important role in determining the level populations and ionization balance of both high and low-temperature non-LTE plasmas for a wide range of electron densities
Important therefore in modeling of transient astrophysical plasmas such as solar flares
Cannot no longer assume coronal approximation; that all the ion population is in the ground state – there may well be significant population in metastable states
Could mention (if they don’t know) that:
DR can be viewed as a two-step process:
1) free electron excites an electron in an ion and is captured into an autoionizing state of the ion (reversible)
2) an electron can make a spontaneous radiative transition, leaving the ion in a non-autoionizing ie. a bound state – or –
3) an electron autoionizes leaving the ion in a bound state
e- + X+z X+z-1 (X+z)* + e-
(X+z)* + h
DR can proceed via many intermediate autoionizing states (possible entire Rydberg series) – underlining its importance
## Dielectronic Recombination of Cl13+
- Dielectronic recombination rate coefficients for Be-like Cl13+
- Comparisons of our theoretical calculations with experiment of Heidelberg group at the TSR
- Experimental confirmation of DR project results
- Trielectronic recombination (core excitation of two electrons) observed for the first time
*** ******Schnell et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. (2003)***
- Rate coefficient
- Energy (eV)
**Notes:**
Emphasize these experimental measurements confirm our DR project results for Be-like system investigated here.
For Li-like systems many more experimental measurements; our DR project in good agreement with these, especially at higher electron temperatures.
Will probably need a little explanation of TR; core excitation of TWO electrons into a triply intermediate state (DR is core excitation of ONE electron). This process is automatically included in our DR calculations, but this is first time it has been isolated experimentally (as DR will in most situations, dominate it in the cross section, TR is significantly weaker).
TR resonances represent more complex features than DR resonances because radiative stabilization competes with additional autoionizing decay channels not present in DR.
Chlorine was picked as the TR resonances were most striking for this case. Was observed (though perhaps not as clearly) in other beryllium-like ions.
## Ion-Atom Collisions

*Time-dependent evolution of electronic wave function during p + Li collision*
*p*
*Li*
**Notes:**
Time-dependent evolution of electronic wave function during collision – ask Mitch or look at papers; this is proton on Li(2p) I think? Yes.
Proton on Li (2py) at 15 keV with b=5. This was proton-impact excitation also.
TD methods – following evolution of time-dependent wave function on a grid allows us to extract scattering information after collision is over. That’s what we are showing here.
Looked at many ion-impact situations as listed. Currently looking at some directly relevant to fusion plasmas, eg Be4+ on hydrogen atoms and effect of crossed fields on excitation and charge exchange rates.
One-electron two-center problem solved exactly on a numerical 3D lattice – large calculations even on a parallel computer.
## Double photoionization of helium
***Triple differential cross section at equal energy sharing between the ejected electrons***
***(************,2e) *****He:** Colgan, Pindzola, and Robicheaux, J. Phys. B (2001)
***(************,2e) *****He:** Colgan and Pindzola, Phys. Rev. A (2002)
***(************,2e) *****Be:** Colgan and Pindzola, Phys. Rev. A (2002)
***(2************,2e) *****He:** Colgan and Pindzola, Phys. Rev. Lett. (2002)
***(************,2e) *****He*:** Colgan and Pindzola, Phys. Rev. A (2003)
**Notes:**
This is a more fundamental atomic collision process – three-body Coulomb break-up problem – much experimental interest here on electron-electron correlation.
A single photon knocks out both electrons from the helium atom – so electron-electron correlation is crucial to correctly calculating the cross section for this process. The figure shows the differential cross section for helium calculated using the time-dependent method.
Calculated many related quantities of two-electron systems such as in He, Be, etc (Could also mention now looking a 4 body break up problems such as triple photoionization of lithium).

**Notes:**
Looking at atomic physics phenomena in different plasma regime – ultra-cold plasmas. By ultra cold we mean in micro-Kelvin range
Models of experiments which looked at plasma expansions and thermalizations required atomic physics calculations (electron Rydberg scattering and 3-body recombination) to accurately model the experiment.

## Electron-impact ionization data for fusion plasmas
- Program initiated to completely revise atomic collisional data for lithium
- Calculations have been used to perform modeling in support of plasma edge diagnostics made by Todd Evan’s group at ***DIIID ***
- Accurate atomic data essential for collisional radiative modeling to be meaningful
- Plasma modeling calculations also improve edge diagnostics at ***JET***
**Notes:**
It was realized, in recent years, that the current atomic data for lithium and its ions was pretty much inadequate. There has been little recent experimental measurements of fundamental processes (such as ionization of Li etc) and, before 5/10 years ago, most theoretical calculations
were perturbative in nature; also it was not clear how accurate they were.
Also there was a demand for high quality data since lithium has been used (or proposed) as a plasma diagnostic within fusion devices. Indeed experiments have already been made using such diagnostics. Also liquid lithium was also considered as a plasma wall component, although it is unclear how viable this is!
So our group decided to carry out a series of calculations, using several different theoretical techniques, for scattering processes from lithium and all its ions.
## Effective ionization rates for Li
- New data for excitation, ionization, and recombination has been incorporated into an ADAS plasma modeling calculation
- Also available at CFADC database
- Very large differences compared to model using older atomic data (log scale!)
- Significant increase in the accuracy of the plasma modeling for lithium
***Loch et al, Physica Scripta, (2003)***
***Effective ionization rate for Li at an electron density of 10******14****** cm******–3 ******as a function of electron temperature***
**Notes:**
Emphasize log scale on both axis. LARGE difference in the effective ionization rates from old data and rates from new calculations.
Increase in the accuracy of plasma modeling for lithium now.
Ask Stuart – what exactly is ‘effective’ ionization rate?
Effective is density dependent; also it gives the total loss out of a given ion stage; i.e. includes ionization from all excited states of that ion.
So this would include ionization from all excites states (2p,3l,4l) etc.
## Li emissivity coefficients
- Emissivity coefficients as a function of electron temperature and density
- Obtained from ADAS modeling calculation
- Data such as this is used in a wide range of fusion plasma edge diagnostics
- Also comparing these and similar plasma characteristics with modeling calculations made using Los Alamos set of computer codes
***Loch, Fontes, et al, Phys. Rev. E, (2003)***
**Notes:**
Mention that we are currently working on comparing our ADAS plasma modeling calculations (incorporating our new data) with plasma modeling calculations based on the Los Alamos suite of computer codes. LA data typically uses plane-wave Born/distorted wave type of data but they usually look at heavier elements – are their models less accurate than ours for light systems?
Number of photons lost:
This is 2p-2s transition.
A-value times the upper level population.... No of photons emitted per second per unit volume from a given transition
As you increase the temperature the 2p level can be reached – so the emissivity turns on. Also as you increase the electron density the emissivity initially increases. At high densities, it drops as the lithium is preferentially ionized instead of excited.
## Collisional Data for modeling plasmas
- ITER may use Be as a plasma wall component – our calculations made in support of the ITER fusion development program of Alberto Loarte (MPI – Garching)
- Collisional Radiative modeling also made for the PISCES-B fusion device which will use Be as a potential plasma-facing wall component – in collaboration with Russ Doerner’s group at UCSD
***ITER ***
**Notes:**
In current calendar year we started new program to examine similar scattering quantities for beryllium. Important to fusion as it has been proposed as a first wall component in plasma devices. Thus interaction with plasma (in the form of excitation, ionization, and charge transfer) is important.
Just recently submitted to PRA

Program currently underway to revise electron-impact excitation and ionization data for beryllium
## Be data applications
- Ratio of ionization rate coefficients for Be
- Large difference between typically employed DW calculations and new TDCC results show as much as a factor of 10 difference in the rate coefficient
## Revision of TRANSP and ONETWO collision data
- Data needed to update the inelastic, heavy-particle collision database used by TRANSP (PPPL, McCune) and ONETWO (GA, Murakami) for neutral beam deposition, transport modeling
- Priorities include charge transfer, ionization/excitation of light impurity ions (C6+, O8+, Be4+) between 10 eV and 150 keV colliding with hydrogen
- Next phase, excited hydrogen targets, other light impurities, helium
- Synergy with charge exchange recombination spectroscopy data production

## AFFECTED PARTS
Boeing 737 galley kits.
## PURPOSE
The purpose of this notification is to advise all aircraft owners,
operators, manufacturers, maintenance organizations, and parts suppliers
and distributors regarding the production of unapproved parts applicable
to Boeing 737 galley kits.
## BACKGROUND
Information received during a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
suspected unapproved parts investigation revealed that Commercial
Aircraft Parts Services Engineering, Design, Inc. (CAPSED, Inc.),
located at 17012 Roper Street, Mojave, CA 93501, had manufactured
various parts applicable to Boeing 737 galley kits without holding a
parts manufacturing approval. CAPSED, Inc., holds FAA Air Agency
Certificate No. P24R2420 with a limited airframe rating.
CAPSED, Inc., produced the galley kit parts for installation on
type-certificated aircraft. Regulations require that no person may
produce a modification or replacement part for sale for installation on
a type-certificated product unless it is produced pursuant to a parts
manufacturer approval. The galley kit parts were identified with Boeing
part numbers followed by the letter "C."
Below is a *partial* list of parts that CAPSED, Inc., manufactured and
approved for return to service.

**RECOMMENDATIONS**
Regulations require that type-certificated products conform to their
type design. Aircraft owners, operators, manufacturers, maintenance
organizations, and parts suppliers and distributors should inspect any
aircraft and/or galley equipment for galley kits maintained, altered, or
returned to service by CAPSED, Inc. If any referenced galley kit has
been installed, appropriate action should be taken. If any kits are
found in existing inventory, it is recommended that the kits be
quarantined to prevent installation of their parts until a determination
can be made regarding their eligibility for installation.
**FURTHER INFORMATION**
Further information concerning this investigation, and guidance
regarding the above-referenced galley kit parts, can be obtained from
the FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) shown below. In
addition, the FAA would appreciate any information concerning the
discovery of the referenced galley kit parts, the means used to identify
the source, and the actions taken to remove the galley kit parts from
the aircraft or inventory.

## STEP from a Life Cycle Point of View - The PLCS Initiative
*Position: ** **Chairman of the Board, PLCS Inc.*
* ** **Chairman, ISO TC184 SC4*
**STEP from a Life Cycle ****Point of View ****- The PLCS Initiative**
***NASA STEP for Aerospace Workshop***
***JPL Pasadena, 17 January 2001***
## Agenda
***Key Business Drivers***
***Impact of the Internet - B2B exchanges***
***Overview of Current Standards***
***About the PLCS initiative***
***The PLCS Technical Approach***
***Questions***
## Key Business Drivers
***International Collaboration demands product data exchange and sharing across many organisations***
***Defence and Airline customers and major aerospace companies want a single way to exchange digital product data***
***Suppliers want a unified approach from prime contractors***
***Worldwide operation demands a worldwide standard***
## Key Business Drivers
***Shared or Integrated Digital Environments demand accurate information on product configuration, which is:***
***Achieved on delivery***
***Maintained through the lifecycle***
***Communicated between customer and supplier***
***Communicated along the supply chain***
***Integrated software needs configuration management ***
***Product software is a key element of the platform***
***Need closer control of product structure than ever before***
***Need to integrate and maintain information from multiple sources and systems***
## The Internet changes everything...
***“******The emergence of the internet and the associated opportunities has sounded ******a wake-up call to all product development organisations****** across the world to change and adapt the way they do business or risk being run over”****** ***
***GartnerGroup, Strategic Analysis Report***
- “***How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you ******win or lose******”***
***Bill Gates, Microsoft Corporation***
***“******The internet is driving business change and technology change and it lets you use the ******open standards****** to run your business”***
***Oracle Corporation***
## Which industries are likely to embrace B2B solutions?
***“ ******We conclude that industries that are B2B inclined exhibit certain key characteristics. ***
***Some of these characteristics include the following:***
***The supply chain is highly diffuse***
***Techno-innovators dominate the culture***
***Process represents more than 20% of total costs***
***Products exhibit complex configurations***
***Expense pressure is intense” ***
_*** ***__*** ***__*** ***__*** ***__*** ***_

## “Opportunity of a lifetime” or “Business as usual” ?
**“****Opportunity of a lifetime” or**** “Business as usual” ?**
***“******by 2004 the aerospace sector will have the largest proportion of internet-based Business to Business (B2B) sales,****** ******35%******...” ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ****** ******B2B: 2b or not 2B?, Goldman Sachs, 11/99***
***but today...***
***“******only 3%****** ******of all transactions involving sales of aviation parts are conducted on line” ***
*** ****** ****** ******Shop Talk: Parts. Planes and B2B exchanges, Red Herring, 24 Feb 2000***
## Different types of B2B Exchanges
***Capitalize on Supplier Competency and Capacity***
***Sub-contractors,***
***contract manufacturers, ******and strategic ******suppliers***
** **
***Few large******strategic customers***
***Capture Customer Requirements and Develop Winning Products***
***Many customers***
***(potentially unknown)***
** *****Attract New Customers******through Personalized Products***
***Dynamically Identify Sources and Reduce Transaction Costs***
** *****Direct Materials***
*** ******Indirect Materials***
*** ******New suppliers***
## Overview of current standardsfor the Aerospace Industry
***Transaction oriented***
***Defence: AECMA 2000M***
***Commercial: ATA Spec 2000, EDIFACT, ANSI X.12***
***Content oriented***
***Manufacturing and process centric:***
- ISO 9000, STEP
***Operations and maintenance centric:***
- Defence: MIL-STD-1388, Def-Stan 00-60, AECMA 1000D
- Commercial: ATA Spec 100, 200, 2100
***Summary***
***Current standards are very specialized and focus on either:***
- a piece of a business transaction, I.e. Order, Part or Invoice
- presentation of specific content, I.e. Aircraft maintenance manual
## What is the adoption rate of these standards?
***ATA Spec 2000***
***342 Spec2000 participants***
- 84 airlines out of 750+
- 78 ‘non-airlines’ out of thousands
- 180 suppliers out of tens of thousands
***AECMA 2000M***
***many of the recent large defence programs, i.e. Tornado, Eurofighter...***
- only the largest EU A&D manufacturers
- some of the larger EU defence ministries
***Conclusion***
***modest penetration, mainly with the largest Tier 1 operators/suppliers***
***barrier to entry ( $, expertise...) is too high for the majority***
## So what is missing?
***support the forecasted growth in e-business ***
**So what is missing?**
***Available standards do not address product support requirements***
***Major problems keeping technical information in line with the changing physical product through life***
***Major problems linking support information to relevant product information***
***Software applications use proprietary data standards and are often difficult to integrate***
***Inconsistent data definitions***
## Business Problem...
**Business Problem...**
***How to keep the data needed to operate and maintain a product in line with the changing product over its life cycle?***
***Product***
***in Focus***
## The Product Life Cycle Support (PLCS) initiative
***About PLCS***
***A joint industry and government initiative to accelerate development of new standards for product support information***
***An international project, managed within the ISO framework, to produce draft standard(s) within 3 years.***
*** ******PLCS utilizes ISO 10303 STEP - the ******ST******andard for ******E******xchange of ******P******roduct model data ***
***PLCS Inc. established in 1999 by 14 leading private and public sector organisations***

## FTA Prescription and Over-The-Counter Drug Use In The Transit Industry
**Presented by: Robbie L. Sarles**
## The information provided herein should be used only as guidance and does not constitute Federal Regulations. Sound medical knowledge and understanding of the pharmacological properties of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and detailed knowledge of an employee’s medical history and safety-sensitive job duties must guide the final assessment of potential risks to the public.
- FTA Disclaimer
## Overview
- National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Directive
- Overview of the issue
- Developing an Rx/OTC policy
- Elements
- Roles and responsibilities
- Establishing medical review procedures
- Employee Rx/OTC training
**Notes:**
NTSB Directive to all transit vehicle operators from the January 13, 2000
## NTSB Directive to FTA
- Educate transit systems - Potential safety risks of Rx and OTC
- Require notification of Rx/OTC use by safety-sensitive employees
- Incorporate qualified medical personnel in Fitness for Duty Assessment
- Train employees on roles and responsibilities
**Notes:**
NTSB Directive to all transit vehicle operators from the January 13, 2000
## Definitions
- Prescription drugs (Rx) are medications which require written authorization for use by a healthcare professional whose license permits them to prescribe medication
- Must include:
- Patient’s name
- Name of substance
- Quantity/amount dispensed
- Instructions on dosage, frequency, and method of administration
- Refills
- Date
**Notes:**
Common types of prescription medication include:
Anti-inflammatory/Pain Medication (Relieves pain);
Antidepressants and Psychoactive Medication (Relieves depression and other psychological conditions);
Antihistamines (Reduces allergy & cold symptoms – also used to treat insomnia);
Stimulants (Causes user to be more alert); and
Tranquilizers & Sedatives (Relieves anxiety, stress & insomnia).
## Definitions
- Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications are any legal, non-prescription substance taken for relief of discomforting symptoms
- May include capsules, powders, tablets, or liquids
**Notes:**
Common over-the-counter medications include:
Pain relief/fever reducer
Colds/Flu medication
Appetite Suppressants
Bowel Preparations
Sleeping Aids
Stimulants
## Cause for Concern
- Some side effects of Rx and OTC medications can be a safety issue when taken by safety-sensitive employees
- Can include:
- Agitation
- Anxiety
- Blurred vision
- Breathing difficulty
- Chest pain
- Chest tightness
- Confusion
- Dizziness
- Disorientation
- Double vision
- Drowsiness
- Emotional instability
- False sense of well being
- Fatigue
**Notes:**
Transit systems should consult with competent medical professionals if deciding to use a side effect list to develop a medication list. The FTA is not saying if the medication causes these side effects they can not be used. Remind the participants that these side effects have the potential to affect employees performing safety sensitive functions.
Side effects of both Rx and OTC medications vary greatly and can include a number of side effects, including:
Agitation, Anxiety, Blurred vision, Breathing difficulty, Chest pain, Chest tightness, Confusion, Dizziness, Disorientation, Double vision, Drowsiness, Disorientation, Emotional instability, False sense of well being, Fatigue, Fever, Hallucinations, Severe Headache, Hyperventilation, Insomnia, Light headedness, Muscle cramps/spasms, Nausea/vomiting, Nervousness, Palpitations, Poor coordination, Rapid or irregular heart beat, Restlessness, Ringing in the ears, Sedation, Seizures, Severe diarrhea, Tremors, and Weakness.
## Cause for Concern (Cont’d)
- Hallucinations
- Severe headache
- Hyperventilation
- Insomnia

## FTA Recommended Policy Elements
- Purpose of policy
- Acknowledges risks associated with Rx/OTC use
- Emphasizes safety
- Balances the treatment of medical conditions and the requirements of performing safety-sensitive job duties
**Notes:**
The goal of an Rx/OTC policy is not to force employees in need of medical attention to work or keep employees who are eligible to work off duty for receiving treatment of a medical condition. Rather, it should be to ensure that those receiving medical attention are aware of the potential impacts on safety of the medication that they are taking, and to establish a process for addressing safety-sensitive work when employees are taking medication.
## FTA Recommended Policy Elements (Cont’d)
- Purpose of policy (cont’d) - Not intended to force employees in need of medical attention to work or keep employees who are eligible to work off duty for receiving treatment of a medical condition
- Define processes and procedures that implement the policy, such as:
- Medical review/authorization
- Reporting
- Use of leave benefits; limitations
**Notes:**
It will fall to Transit agency management to establish policy and procedures. These are likely to include procedures for:
Determining content/process for medical review;
Defining an employer notification process;
Determining a process for employer physician/MRO review.
Establishing record keeping, information disclosure and confidentiality protection procedures;
Establishing procedures for removing employees from duty;
Establishing consequences for policy violation; and
Incorporating into the existing absenteeism policy topics such as type of leave and limitations on leave.
## FTA Recommended Policy Elements (Cont’d)
- Define consequences of violating specific policy provisions
- Use of Rx/OTC that contribute to cause or increase the severity of an accident
- Failure to report use
- Failure to obtain medical authorization
- Other policy provision violations
**Notes:**
Many transit systems have failed to include specific discipline in their Rx/OTC policies. Recommend to the participants that they need to define specific provisions to the policy to avoid having a big dog with no teeth. (a lot of bark but no bite)
## FTA Recommended Policy Elements (Cont’d)
- Ensure that the policy emphasizes and maintains confidentiality

**CHAIRMAN MICHAEL K. POWELL**
*Re: Review of the Emergency Alert System*
For over a half century, the United States has had in place a national
warning system utilizing, in part, our Nation's broadcast outlets. From
the CONELRAD, established in 1951 by President Truman during the Korean
War to its replacement, the Emergency Broadcast System, established in
1963 by President Kennedy to the modern day Emergency Alert System
(EAS), our government has sought to employ our country's media outlets
as a mechanism for warning the American public of an emergency.
A lot has changed since 1951. As the primary role of EAS remains a
national public warning system, increasingly state and local
jurisdictions have used its capabilities to notify their citizens of
local emergencies, including natural weather disasters and in saving the
lives of many abducted children through the Amber Alert. In addition,
EAS has grown from its predecessor's birth on AM radio to FM radio,
broadcast television and wireline and wireless cable systems. Of course,
the threats to our homeland have also changed dramatically over the last
fifty years. As the world around us has changed, however, the import of
the EAS as a tool for reaching our citizenry during time of need remains
high.
We are proud to adopt this Notice today, as a result, in part, of the
recommendations of the Media Security and Reliability Council and the
Partnership for Public Warning and in coordination with our partners at
the Department of Homeland Security and its component, FEMA and the
Department of Commerce and its component, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service.
This proceeding will provide one of many vehicles by which we
collectively explore the most effective mechanism for warning the
American public of an emergency and the role of EAS as we move further
into our digital future. I commend my colleagues here at the Commission
and our partners at DHS, FEMA, DoC and NOAA for their dedication to
making our homeland a safer place for our citizens.

- Regions in terms of precipitation characteristics:
- Leading stratiform
- Convective region
- Inner core region
- West flank stratiform
- Flow regimes
- Off-shore: 0400-1100 UTC
- On-shore: after 1200 UTC
- The stable off-shore regime does not exhibit enhanced spectral width, but the on-shore regime does.
- Core
## 915 MHz wind profiles at 30 min intervals
- off-shore, veering with height
- cool surface air, stable BL
- on-shore, backing with height
- warmer surface air, neutral to stable ABL
***TS Gabrielle***
## Surface fluxes produced from cool air flowing over warm water production of temperature gradient along the coastal waters
- coastline
*land*
*water*
- Cool air, 22 C
- Warm water, 28 C
- Surface fluxes
*Off-shore flow*
**Spatial variability across the coastal zone**
- MIPS
- profile
*Isotachs (m s**-1**)*
- Descending jet
- Analysis based on Doppler radar + profiler
## Spatial variability across the coastal zone
- Flow deceleration is apparent at flow levels over land.
- Flow deceleration begins over water, prior to air reaching the land surface. Implication: perturbation pressure gradient force from dynamic forcing.
- BL height is not well defined by the isotachs.
- Vertical shear above the jet over water is greater than that over land.
**Near surface winds are slowed by increase in surface roughness**
## Temporal variability in the 915 MHz wind profiles, 1330-1430 UTC
- Systematic wind variation during this period:
- Rapid changes in the wind profile close to the core region
- General backing below 1 km
- Sharp backing of wind with height is large initially.
- Wind speed profile evolves from maximum at 200 m to a jet profile in which the maximum ascends with time. Thus, the jet is initially within the turbulent BL (consistent with Kepert 2001).
*Jet location near the surface*
## Fronts
- 0553
- 0553
- 0853
- Cool air (T≤23 C) covers a large area (50,000 km2).
- Stratiform rainfall is widespread downshear of the core of Gabrielle.
- A warm front formed as Gabrielle approached. This front was associated with tornadoes near 0800 UTC

***Fronts***
***Cool air**** *
***Tornadoes formed along a warm front***
## Surface Analysis
- 1153
- 1453
- A cold front appeared after 1200 UTC; occlusion by 1453 UTC.
- The fronts were shallow, confined to the ABL.
- The strongest frontal signature occurred at the MIPS site (near the center of the storm)
***Cold front***
***Fronts***
## With regard to cold air production over land, the observations suggest the following hypothesis:
## Hypothesis: Landfalling hurricanes weaken at an accelerated rate upon ingesting cold (low-valued e) continental air from the ABL
- The presence of **cold air within the ABL will produce a rapid weakening** in the storm if entrained into the core region.
- The cold air is produced by **rainfall evaporation within mesoscale downdrafts** whose characteristics (relative distribution relative to the center, minimum e) are predictable.
- This hypothesis is consistent with observed rapid weakening over cool water. In fact, the weakening from cold air intrusion may be even more dramatic.
## Cooling within stratiform precipitation
**Cooling within stratiform precipitation**
**Significant mesoscale downdrafts provided downward transport of low-valued ********e**** air, and thereby produced appreciable cooling at low levels.**
*w derived from EVAD analyses*
- Gabrielle
## Is this process observed in other storms?The case of Ivan:Cold air from the continent may have produced weakening in the NW flank just before landfall
## Surface 0043 16 September 2004
- Cold feeder flow
- e = 343 K
- Extensive stratiform precipitation is present to the north of the circ center.
- Ivan appeared to weaken rapidly around the time of landfall, more so than was forecast.
## Future work in this area:
- Further examine the “cold air” hypothesis.
- Relate the production of cold air to:
- Thermodynamic vertical profiles in advance of the hurricane
- Rainband kinematics, i.e., a more detailed description of the mesoscale downdrafts within rainbands and stratiform precipitation
- Precipitation properties
## Future plans
- More of the same, plus:
- QPE (Quantitative Precipitation Estimation)
- Disdrometers profiler radar calibration and improved Z-R (and eventually polarimetric) relations
- Improved real-time QPE with the WSR-88D network
- Precipitation growth processes (and drop breakup)
- Mesoscale dynamics
- Rainband and stratiform kinematics
- Inner core processes
- Thermodynamics – cooling within stratiform precipitation
## Rainband Kinematics:
**Rainband Kinematics:**
- A future research thrust
- Kinematic structure of rainbands in TS Gabrielle (dual Doppler analysis using SMART-R and TBW WSR-88D)
- Peak values of updrafts and reflectivity in the rainband :
- 20 m s-1 and >50 dBZ
- Vertical E-W section
***TS Gabrielle***
## Raindrop spectrum and size distributions

*Doppler spectra*
*Size distributions*
- Develop a better understanding of precipitation processes, and drop break-up in the turbulent boundary layer.
## Summary
- Mobile instruments have been used to examine:
- Flow transition within the ABL across the coastal zone
- Gravity waves in the hurricane environment
- Cold air production over land, which appears to exert a large impact on hurricane intensity around the time of landfall
- Future work should continue to investigate the above plus
- Investigations of rainband & stratiform kinematics and thermodynamics
- Precipitation physics and improved Z-R relations for accurate QPE, with applications to the future dual-pol capability of the WSR-88D

## Conclusions (ABL transition)
- Significant temporal variability in airflow at the MIPS site related to gravity waves, large eddies (and boundaries).
- Stable off-shore flow exhibited a jet profile that descended from land to water. Wind shear below the jet decreased over water.
- On shore flow produced a more unstable BL.
- In both cases, flow adjustment within the BL occurred within about 5 km of the coast line
- A transition in flow occurs in the onshore (off-shore) cases as deceleration (acceleration) is observed to occur before air passes over the coast line. | en |

Proteases of Malaria Parasites: New Targets for Chemotherapy
Philip J. Rosenthal
San Francisco General Hospital and University of California, San Francisco,
California, USA
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The increasing resistance of malaria parasites to antimalarial
drugs is a major contributor to the reemergence of the disease
as a major public health problem and its spread in new
locations and populations. Among potential targets for new
modes of chemotherapy are malarial proteases, which appear to
mediate processes within the erythrocytic malarial life cycle,
including the rupture and invasion of infected erythrocytes and
the degradation of hemoglobin by trophozoites. Cysteine and
aspartic protease inhibitors are now under study as potential
antimalarials. Lead compounds have blocked in vitro parasite
development at nanomolar concentrations and cured
malaria-infected mice. This review discusses available
antimalarial agents and summarizes experimental results that
support development of protease inhibitors as antimalarial
drugs.
Hundreds of millions of cases of malaria occur annually, and infections
with _Plasmodium falciparum_, the most virulent human malaria parasite,
cause more than one million deaths per year (1). Despite extensive control
efforts, the incidence of the disease is not decreasing in most
malaria-endemic areas of the world, and in some it is clearly increasing
(2). Malaria also remains a major risk to travelers from industrialized to
developing countries. Because malaria parasites are increasingly resistant
to antimalarial drugs, appropriately counseled travelers to malaria-endemic
regions are more likely to contract malaria now than they were 40 years
ago.
Malaria control efforts include attempts to develop an effective vaccine,
eradicate mosquito vectors, and develop new drugs (2,3). However, the
development of a vaccine has proven very difficult, and a highly effective
vaccine will probably not be available in the near future (4). Efforts to
control _Anopheles_ mosquitoes have had limited success, although the use
of insecticide-impregnated bed nets does appear to reduce malaria-related
death rates (5). In addition, methods to replace natural vector populations
with mosquitoes unable to support parasite development are under study and
may contribute to malaria control in the long term (6). However, the
current limitations of vaccine and vector control, as well as the
increasing resistance of malaria parasites to existing drugs, highlight the
continued need for new antimalarial agents.
Established Antimalarial Drugs
Antimalarial drugs have been used for centuries. Early natural products,
including the bark of the cinchona tree in South America and extracts of
the wormwood plant in China, were among the first effective antimicrobial
agents to be used. Cinchona bark was used in Europe beginning in the 17th
century, and upon its isolation from bark in 1820, quinine became widely
used. In the last 50 years, extensive efforts, including the screening of
hundreds of thousands of compounds, have led to the development of a number
of effective synthetic antimalarial drugs. The most important of these,
chloroquine, has been the mainstay of antimalarial chemotherapy for the
last 50 years. The compound eradicates parasites rapidly, has minimal
toxicity, is widely available at low cost throughout the world, and needs
to be taken only once a week for chemoprophylaxis. However, resistance to
chloroquine has been steadily increasing since the drug's initial use in
South America and Southeast Asia in the late 1950s. Chloroquine resistance
is now widespread in most _P. falciparum_ -endemic areas of the world (3).
Thus, the use of chloroquine for presumptive treatment of falciparum
malaria or for chemoprophylaxis is usually no longer appropriate (7).
Moreover, resistance to chloroquine of _P. vivax_, the second most lethal
human malaria parasite, is increasing in South Asia (8).
No other antimalarial drug (9-12) is as efficacious and safe as chloroquine
(Table 1). The best antimalarial drug for treating chloroquine-resistant
falciparum malaria remains quinine (or intravenous quinidine), which is
fairly toxic; quinine resistance is increasing in Southeast Asia,
particularly in the border areas of Thailand (9). Amodiaquine, used to
treat chloroquine-resistant malaria in developing countries, is also quite
toxic, and resistance to it is also common (13). Mefloquine (14) is widely
used for chemoprophylaxis against chloroquine-resistant _P. falciparum_,
but its use is limited by toxicity (15) and (in the developing world) high
cost. Mefloquine is not approved for treatment of malaria in the United
States because of the neurotoxicity of doses required for the treatment.
Fansidar, a combination of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine, is no longer
recommended for chemoprophylaxis because of its dermatologic toxicity (15).
Fansidar is also not an ideal drug for treatment because it is slow acting,
but it is increasingly important in treating chloroquine-resistant malaria
in developing countries because economic constraints limit the use of other
agents (16). The use of both mefloquine and Fansidar will increasingly be
limited by drug resistance, already widespread in parts of Southeast Asia
(9,17).

Other antimalarial drugs have specialized uses. Tetracyclines and some
other antibiotics (clindamycin, sulfas) are slow acting and generally best
used as an adjunct to quinine therapy in treating falciparum malaria (9).
Doxycycline is also used for chemoprophylaxis in regions with high levels
of drug resistance, especially Southeast Asia (10,17). Other drugs for
chemoprophylaxis include proguanil, which remains effective in combination
with chloroquine in many areas other than Southeast Asia, and Maloprim, a
combination of dapsone and pyrimethamine (10,17). Resistance to these drugs
is fairly common, however. Primaquine has a well-defined specific role:
eradicating chronic liver stages of _P. vivax_ and _P. ovale_ after
treating the acute blood infection with chloroquine.
New Antimalarial Drugs
Relatively few new antimalarial drugs are undergoing clinical testing
(Table 2). Halofantrine, identified in the 1940s, was not developed until
the 1980s; its use has been limited by variable oral absorption and cardiac
toxicity (12,18). The drug is approved in the United States for treatment
of chloroquine-resistant _P. falciparum_ infection, although in most cases
quinine (or intravenous quinidine) is preferable. The most effective new
drugs are artemisinin and related compounds. Artemisinin was isolated in
1972 from _Artemisia annua_, a plant used in China for centuries to treat
fever (19). Artemisinin derivatives (artesunate, artelinate, artemether,
arteether, dihydroartemisinin) have been synthesized and are undergoing
extensive clinical testing. These compounds, which are already widely used
in some areas, are potent, rapidly acting antimalarials that are effective
against chloroquine-resistant _P. falciparum_ (20). Because recrudescences
of infection after treatment are common, however, artemisinin and related
compounds might best be used in combination with another drug.

Other compounds are under evaluation. Atovaqone (21), which is approved for
treating patients with _Pneumocystis_ infections, appears to be effective
against malaria in combination with proguanil (22), but its use has been
limited by recrudescence after treatment. Pyronaridine, an acridine
derivative used to treat malaria in China, has shown efficacy against
falciparum malaria (23). The iron chelator desferrioxamine enhances the
clearance of parasites in mild malaria (24) and, in conjunction with
quinine and Fansidar, hastens recovery from deep coma in severe falciparum
malaria (25). Azithromycin, a quinolone antibiotic, appears efficacious in
malaria chemoprophylaxis (26).
Malarial Proteases: New Targets for Chemotherapy
The limitations of antimalarial chemotherapy underscore the need for new
drugs, ideally directed against new targets. Potential targets for
chemotherapy include malarial proteases (27). The erythrocytic life cycle,
which is responsible for all clinical manifestations of malaria, begins
when free merozoites invade erythrocytes. The intraerythrocytic parasites
develop from small ring-stage organisms to larger, more metabolically
active trophozoites and then to multinucleated schizonts. The erythrocytic
cycle is completed when mature schizonts rupture erythrocytes, releasing
numerous invasive merozoites. Proteases appear to be required for the
rupture and subsequent reinvasion of erythrocytes by merozoite-stage
parasites and for the degradation of hemoglobin by intraerythrocytic
trophozoites figure.

Figure. Protease targets in erythrocytic malaria parasites. The _Plasmodium
falciparum_ erythrocytic life cycle is shown schematically, and data supporting
cysteine (CP), serine (SP), and aspartic (AP) proteases of the different
parasite stages as chemotherapeutic targets are provided in italics.
Proteases and Erythrocyte Rupture and Invasion
The rupture of erythrocytes by mature schizonts and the subsequent invasion
of erythrocytes by free merozoites appear to require malarial protease
activity, possibly to breach the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, a complex
network of proteins. In addition, a number of malarial proteins are
proteolytically processed during the late schizont and merozoite life-cycle
stages; for example, merozoite surface protein-1 is processed in a manner
inhibited by serine protease inhibitors (28), presumably to facilitate the
complex series of events involved in erythrocyte rupture and invasion (29).
Although the specific roles of different classes of proteases are not
completely clear, inhibitors of cysteine and serine proteases have
consistently blocked erythrocyte rupture and invasion (27).
Candidate _P. falciparum_ rupture/invasion proteases have been identified,
but none has been fully characterized biochemically or molecularly: 1) a 68
kD cysteine protease was identified in schizonts and merozoites and
localized to the merozoite apex, suggesting that it may be released from
the rhoptry organelle during invasion (30); 2) a cysteine protease of
mature schizonts and a serine protease of merozoites were identified in
highly synchronized parasites (31); 3) a serine protease was shown to be
bound to the schizont/merozoite membrane by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol
anchor, to be activated by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C
during the merozoite stage, and to be capable of cleaving the erythrocyte
cytoskeletal protein band 3 (32,33); 4) another protease, inhibited by both
cysteine and serine protease inhibitors, hydrolyzed the erythrocyte
cytoskeletal proteins spectrin and band 4.1 (34); and 5) the serine repeat
antigen (35,36) and the related protein SERP H (37), both expressed in
mature schizonts, have important similarities in their sequences with
cysteine proteases. Further research should identify the specific biologic
roles of the proteases mentioned and better characterize these enzymes,
thus fostering the development of specific inhibitors.
Host proteases may also play a role in erythrocyte rupture by _P.
falciparum_. In recent studies, host urokinase was shown to bind to the
surface of _P. falciparum_-infected erythrocytes, and the depletion of
urokinase from parasite culture medium inhibited erythrocyte rupture by
mature schizonts (38). This inhibition was reversed by exogenous urokinase.
Drug Development Efforts
Synthetic peptide inhibitors of the _P. falciparum_ schizont cysteine
protease Pf 68 inhibited erythrocyte invasion by cultured parasites
(39,40). The most effective peptide, GlcA-Val
-Leu-Gly-Lys-NHC (sub 2)H(sub
5), inhibited the protease and blocked parasite development at high
micromolar concentrations (40; Table 3). Although these results do not
demonstrate levels of inhibition expected to be therapeutically relevant,
they suggest that a specific protease activity is required for erythrocyte
invasion by malaria parasites and thus is a potential target for
antimalarial drugs.
Proteases and Malarial Hemoglobin Degradation
Extensive evidence suggests that the degradation of hemoglobin is necessary
for the growth of erythrocytic malaria parasites, apparently to provide
free amino acids for parasite protein synthesis (27,50). In _P.
falciparum_, hemoglobin degradation occurs predominantly in trophozoites
and early schizonts, the stages at which the parasites are most
metabolically active. Trophozoites ingest erythrocyte cytoplasm and
transport it to a large central food vacuole. In the food vacuole,
hemoglobin is broken down into heme, a major component of malarial pigment
(51), and globin, which is hydrolyzed to its constituent amino acids. The
food vacuole is an acidic organelle analogous to lysosomes. Several
lysosomal proteases are well characterized, including cysteine (cathepsins
B, H, and L) and aspartic (cathepsin D) proteases (52), and malaria
parasites contain analogous food vacuole proteases that degrade hemoglobin.
At least two aspartic proteases and one cysteine protease have been
isolated from purified _P. falciparum_ food vacuoles (53).
Malarial aspartic protease activities have been identified (54-60). Two
recently characterized aspartic proteases (plasmepsin I and plasmepsin II)
are located in the food vacuole, have acid pH optima, and share sequence
homology with other aspartic proteases (41,53,61,62). Furthermore, the
aspartic proteases can cleave hemoglobin. One of the enzymes, plasmepsin I,
cleaves native hemoglobin (53,59). Plasmepsin II appears to prefer
denatured globin as a substrate (53). On the basis of these data,
plasmepsin I is thought to be responsible for initial cleavages of
hemoglobin after the molecule is transported to the food vacuole (53).
Incubation of cultured _P. falciparum_ parasites with the protease
inhibitor leupeptin caused trophozoite food vacuoles to fill with
apparently undegraded erythrocyte cytoplasm (63-65). Analysis of the
leupeptin-treated parasites showed that they contained large quantities of
undegraded globin, while minimal globin was detectable in control parasites
(64,66). Leupeptin inhibits both cysteine and some serine proteases, but
the highly specific cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 also caused undegraded
globin to accumulate. After parasites were incubated with inhibitors of
other classes of proteases including the aspartic protease inhibitor
pepstatin (63-67), globin did not accumulate. More recent studies that used
nondenaturing electrophoretic methods demonstrated that cysteine protease
inhibitors not only blocked malarial globin hydrolysis, but also inhibited
earlier steps in hemoglobin degradation, including denaturation of the
hemoglobin tetramer and the release of heme from globin (68). Another study
showed that E-64, but not pepstatin, inhibited the production of hemozoin
(the malarial end product of heme) by cultured parasites (69). These
results suggest that a cysteine protease is required for initial steps in
hemoglobin degradation by _P. falciparum_.
A _P. falciparum trophozoite cysteine protease with biochemical features
expected for a food vacuole hemoglobinase has been identified (31) and
biochemically (70-72) and molecularly (73) characterized. This protease,
called falcipain, degraded denatured and native hemoglobin in vitro; its
acid pH optimum, substrate specificity, and inhibitor sensitivity indicated
that it was a papain family cysteine protease (64,70,71). Specific
inhibitors of falcipain blocked hemoglobin degradation and prevented
parasite development. The degree of inhibition of falcipain by fluoromethyl
ketones (44) and vinyl sulfones (46) correlated with their inhibition of
hemoglobin degradation and parasite development, supporting the hypothesis
that falcipain is the cysteine protease required for hemoglobin
degradation.
The specific mechanism for hemoglobin degradation in the malarial food
vacuole remains unclear. As noted above, both the aspartic protease
plasmepsin I and the cysteine protease falcipain have been identified in
parasite food vacuoles and shown to cleave denatured and native hemoglobin
in vitro (53,71). Results showing that only cysteine protease inhibitors
block hemoglobin processing and globin hydrolysis in cultured parasites
suggest that falcipain is required for initial steps of hemoglobin
degradation (66-68,74). However, other studies have shown that native
hemoglobin is cleaved by plasmepsin I, but not falcipain, in nonreducing
conditions that may be present in the food vacuole (53,59,72). In any
event, regardless of the exact sequence of hemoglobin processing, multiple
enzymes, including at least the three proteases already identified, appear
to participate in the degradation of hemoglobin. These proteases are thus
logical targets for antimalarial drug development.
Aminopeptidase activity has also been described in malaria parasites
(75-77). This activity, with a neutral pH optimum, was not found in food
vacuole lysates (77). When these lysates were incubated with hemoglobin,
discrete peptide fragments, but not free amino acids, were identified (77).
These results suggest that hemoglobin is degraded to small peptides in the
food vacuole, that these peptides are transported to the parasite cytosol,
and that additional processing of hemoglobin peptides is mediated by
cytosolic aminopeptidase activity (77).
Drug Development Efforts
Both the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64 and the aspartic protease
inhibitor pepstatin blocked _P. falciparum_ development (63-67).
Administered together, the two inhibitors acted synergistically (67).
However, only E-64 blocked globin hydrolysis (64-67). Numerous
peptide-based cysteine protease inhibitors, including fluoromethyl ketones
(44,70,78) and vinyl sulfones (46), inhibited falcipain at low nanomolar
concentrations and inhibited _P. falciparum_ development and hemoglobin
degradation at concentrations below 100 nanomolar (Table 3). In a malaria
animal model, a fluoromethyl ketone that inhibited falcipain at low
nanomolar concentrations blocked _P. vinckei_ protease activity in vivo
after a single subcutaneous dose, and, when administered for 4 days, cured
80% of murine malaria infections (45). Thus, despite the theoretical
limitations of potentially rapid degradation in vivo and inhibition of host
proteases, peptide protease inhibitors show promise as candidate
antimalarial drugs. Fluoromethyl ketones have subsequently shown toxicity
in animal studies, but evaluations of related, apparently nontoxic
inhibitors of falcipain as antimalarial drugs are under way.

A computer model for the structure of falcipain was used to identify
nonpeptide inhibitors (47). Screening of potential nonpeptide inhibitors
identified a low micromolar lead compound (47; Table 3). Subsequent
synthesis and testing of small molecules based on the structure of the lead
compound have identified biologically active falcipain inhibitors,
including chalcones that block parasite metabolism at submicromolar
concentrations (48) and phenothiazines that block parasite metabolism and
development at low micromolar concentrations (49).
Peptidelike aspartic protease inhibitors are potent inhibitors of
plasmepsins I and II. In independent studies SC-50083 (41), Ro 40-4388
(42), and "compound 7" (43) inhibited plasmepsin I or II at nanomolar
concentrations and blocked parasite development at high nanomolar to
micromolar concentrations (Table 3). Drug development efforts should be
assisted by the recent determination of the structure of plasmepsin II
(43). Inhibitors of aspartic and cysteine proteases have synergistic
effects in inhibiting the growth of cultured malaria parasites (67), and
these proteases also act synergistically to degrade hemoglobin in vitro
(41). Therefore, the combination of inhibitors of malarial cysteine and
aspartic proteases may provide the most effective chemotherapeutic regimen
and best limit the development of parasite resistance to protease
inhibitors. Ultimately, a better understanding of the biochemical
properties and biologic roles of malarial proteases will foster the
development of protease inhibitors that specifically inhibit parasite
enzymes and thus are the most suitable candidates for chemotherapy.

converted_docs | 334291 | # **Instructions For Completing Service Difficulty Report (SDRX) Form 8070-1 (For Air Carrier And General Aviation)**
The following instructions are provided as an aid to accurately complete
the Service Difficulty Report (SDRX), FAA Form 8070‑1. The
numbers/letters on this instruction sheet correspond with
numbers/letters on the SDR form. Please provide as much information as
possible in addition to the required reporting items.
In accordance with SDR regulations, certificated SDR submitters have a
time frame (currently 96 hours) in which to submit an SDR. The following
items are required on an initial report, if the remainder of information
to complete the report is not known. The remainder of the report can be
submitted as a supplemental report when the information is obtained. If
all the information required to comply with the applicable regulations
is on the initial report, a supplemental report is not required.
- ***Operator Control Number***
- ***Difficulty Date***
- ***Operator Designator***
- ***Submitter Designator***
- ***Submitter Type Code***
- ***SDR Type***
- ***JASC Code** (ATA Code)*
- ***Nature Of Condition***
- ***Precautionary Procedure***
- ***Stage Of Operation Code***
- ***How Discovered Code***
- ***Aircraft Make***
- ***Major Equipment Identity:***
> Choose the manufacturer and model (and serial number if available) for
> the following equipment to best describe the failure, malfunction, or
> defect: Aircraft, Engine, Propeller, Part, or Component. (The Aircraft
> Make will be required on all SDR's.)
- ***Problem Description***:
> Include a clear and concise description of the problem. Be as
> descriptive as needed to accurately describe the failure, malfunction,
> or defect. If possible, please limit the description to 1500
> characters.
For SDR's submitted in this electronic format, information needed to
complete various parts of the report is provided in the form of
drop-down tables. Further information can be obtained in the
soon-to-be-released Advisory Circular.
**1.** **Submitter Information**
**a.** ***[Operator Control Number (Unique Control #)\*]{.underline}***:
> Only those certificate holders required by regulation to submit
> service difficulty reports should include an operator control number
> on the SDR. The operator control number provides a means to: 1) track
> SDR\'s in the database; 2) recall SDR\'s from the database to update
> or add supplemental information; and 3) allow the submitter and the
> FAA to reference a particular SDR.
The operator control number should be composed of a total of seventeen
(17) alphanumeric characters. The operator control number will always
begin with the first four alphanumeric characters of the submitter\'s
certificate number. The next eight numbers represent the date when the
SDR is submitted, in the format of "YYYYMMDD". The remaining numbers
represent a submitter‑designed numbering system; any submitter‑designed
numbering system is acceptable.
For example, given operator control number \"ABCD2008013100455\":
- \"ABCD\" denotes the first four alphanumeric characters of the
submitter\'s certificate number
- \"20080131\" indicates that the SDR was submitted on January 31,
2008
- \"00455\" indicates that this was the 455th SDR submitted by ABCD
When a supplemental SDR is submitted, the certificate holder will use
the operator control number from the original SDR, add the new or
modified information to the original SDR, and resubmit it as a
supplemental report.
*\* This field is disabled on the Malfunction or Defect Submission
Form.*
b. ***[Difficulty Date]{.underline}***:
> Enter the date the service difficulty was discovered. Submitters
> should use the following format: \"MM/DD/YYYY". They year must contain
> four digits.
c. ***[Registration Number]{.underline}***:
> Enter the aircraft registration number, excluding the "N" for US
> registered aircraft. Include the country code and as much of the
> registration number as possible for foreign-registered aircraft.
> Because this field is also used to record foreign‑registered aircraft,
> the first characters entered here must be the letter(s) or number(s)
> that denote the country of registry. For example, the registration
> number \"455RC\" would denote an aircraft registered in the United
> States; the registration number \"C-GPRV\" would denote an aircraft
> registered in Canada. Enter any special characters such as the "-"
> (dash) in the Canadian-aircraft example. For military aircraft, enter
> as much of the tail number as possible.
d. ***[Submitter Type]{.underline}:***
> Enter the code that best identifies the person/organization initiating
> the report. As an example, a part 121 air carrier would select 'a', a
> repair station would select 'b'. Codes to aid selection are located in
> a drop down table.
e. ***[Submitter Designator\*:]{.underline}***
> If the report is submitted by a certificate holder, this field will be
> auto-filled with the designator entered by the user when they
> requested a user account for the application.
>
> *\* This does not apply to the Malfunction or Defect Submission Form.*
**2. Codes**
a. ***[Operator Designator\*:]{.underline}***
> Enter the operator designator, which is the first four alphanumeric
> characters of the operator\'s certificate number. This designator will
> always be the operator designator assigned to the operator of the
> aircraft. Therefore, an SDR submitted by a repair station on behalf of
> an operator should have the designator of the aircraft operator in
> this block. The Operator Designator is required unless the Submitter
> Type = 'Z' or the SDR Type = 'G'.
*\* This field is disabled on the Malfunction or Defect Submission
Form.*
b. ***[Operator Type (SDR Type):]{.underline}***
> The Operator Type indicates whether the operator is General Aviation
> ('G') or an Air Carrier ('A'). No values besides 'G' or 'A' are
> allowed.
c. ***[JASC/ATA Code:]{.underline}***
> Enter the appropriate code selected from the Joint Aircraft
> System/Component (JASC) Code table or enter the code in the field.
>
> A drop-down table has been provided to aid in selecting a JASC Code. A
> selection from the drop-down table can be made either by scrolling
> through the codes or by typing part of the name or code number in the
> 'Search' field to help select the correct code. The JASC Code must
> contain four digits.
d. ***[Stage of Operation:]{.underline}***
> Select the two‑letter code that best describes the stage of operation
> when the service difficulty was discovered. The Stage of Operation
> codes are for flight and ground operations. A drop-down table is
> provided to aid in selection.

> entered in an order that best describes the observed conditions. A
> drop-down table is provided to aid in selection.
g. ***[Precautionary Procedures:]{.underline}***
> Select one to four codes that best describe any precautionary
> procedures taken by the flight crew in response to the reported
> service difficulty. For example, selecting codes \"E,\" \"J,\" and
> \"A\" signify that an engine was shut down, fuel was dumped, and an
> unscheduled landing was made. A drop-down table is provided to aid in
> selection.
h. ***[FAA Region:]{.underline}***
> This field will be auto-filled by the system but can be edited if
> needed.
i. ***[FAA District Office:]{.underline}***
> This field will be auto-filled by the system but can be edited if
> needed.
**3. Major Equipment Identity**
a. ***[Aircraft/ Engine/ Propeller:]{.underline}***
Enter the manufacturer, model, and serial number of the aeronautical
product to which the service difficulty relates. The primary source for
this information is the product\'s type certificate data sheet. Model
and serial numbers should include prefix letters, if appropriate, but
should not incorporate dashes, slashes, or blank spaces. If the product
is amateur built, use the kit name. Avoid colloquial names and marketing
titles. Engine and propeller data are not required unless related to the
service difficulty. However, if the service difficulty concerns an
engine or propeller, it is important to include engine or propeller
information and aircraft make and model information. This information is
needed because of the interchangeability of engine and propeller models
on various aircraft. Submitters must use industry‑accepted
abbreviations. For example, GE is the acceptable abbreviation for a
General Electric engine and DOUG is the acceptable abbreviation for an
aircraft manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Drop-down lists
are provided for choices.
b. ***[Total Time:]{.underline}***
If applicable, enter the aircraft, engine, or propeller total time in
whole hours.
c. ***[Total Cycles:]{.underline}***
If applicable, enter the aircraft, engine, or propeller total cycles.
**4.** **Problem Description**
> Clearly identify and describe the details of the failure, malfunction,
> or defect. Include descriptive details of the conditions concerning
> the part/assembly that caused the reported service difficulty. Provide
> any significant facts that may help reduce the recurrence of the
> problem and assist in the investigation. Enter any corrective action
> taken if available at the time of the report. For supplemental SDR's,
> prefix the new or modified information with "SUP".
**5. Specific Part Causing Difficulty**
**a.** ***[Part Name:]{.underline}***
Enter the applicable name given to the part by the manufacturer. A
drop-down table provides a non-inclusive list to aid in part name
selection. If your part name is not found on the list, simply enter the
part name. The list will be continually updated.
On the SDR Submission Form, if the Part Number is provided and the
Manufacturer's Name is not provided, you will be required to enter the
Part Name.
**b.** ***[Manufacturer\'s Name (Part Make):]{.underline}***
> Enter the name of the manufacturer of the part. Submitters should use
> industry-accepted abbreviations.
>
> On the SDR Submission Form, if the Part Number is provided and the
> Part Name is not provided, you will be required to enter the
> Manufacturer's Name.
**c.** ***[Part Number:]{.underline}***
> Enter the applicable [manufacturer\'s]{.underline} part number, not an
> airline/internally generated number.
>
> On the SDR Submission Form, if the Part Number is provided, you will
> be required to provide either the Part Name or the Manufacturer's
> Name.
**d.** ***[Serial Number:]{.underline}***
> Enter the manufacturer\'s serial number, if applicable.
**e.** ***[Part Condition:]{.underline}***
> Enter the single term that best describes the part condition. Avoid
> the use of such terms as \"unserviceable\" or \"repairable.\" If
> multiple terms are needed, enter the most significant term in the
> \"part condition\" field and reference the other(s) in the Problem
> Description field. A drop-down table is provided with a non-inclusive
> list to aid in part condition selection. If the condition you desire
> is not on the list, simply enter the condition on the form. The list
> will be updated continually.
**f.** ***[Part/Defect Location:]{.underline}***
> Enter the location of the defect on the part or enter the part
> location on the aircraft, engine, or propeller as applicable. For
> example, the location of an engine part on an engine is more
> significant than the engine position on a multiengine aircraft. If a
> generator has failed and the teardown reveals a bearing failure, it
> would be important to identify in this block which bearing in the
> generator has failed. In this example, the SDR (block 5f) would
> identify the engine on which the generator is located. (Please report
> the location of structural defects in the Structure area).
**g.** ***[Total Time:]{.underline}***
> Enter the part total time in whole hours, if applicable.
**h.** ***[Total Cycles:]{.underline}***
> Enter the part total cycles, if applicable.
**i.** ***[Time Since:]{.underline}***
> If applicable, enter the time in whole hours that the part has been in
> service since its most recent overhaul, repair, or inspection. Mark
> the appropriate box to indicate whether the time indicated is since
> its most recent overhaul, repair, or inspection. If the part has not
> been overhauled, repaired, or inspected since it was new, no
> information would be entered in this field.
**6.** **Component/Assembly That Includes Defective Part**
When completing this section of Form 8070‑1, provide information for the
component/assembly that contains the defective part reported in item
No. 5 of the SDR. The FAA requests that all references to components,
assemblies, and parts (e.g., names and numbers) be those assigned by the
manufacturer of those parts. It is difficult to perform meaningful trend
analysis if submitters report problems using internally assigned names
and numbers.
a. ***[Component Name:]{.underline}***
> Enter the name of the malfunctioning or defective component/ assembly
> containing the part that resulted in the generation of the SDR. The
> component/assembly is the unit that includes the defective part. For
> example, when the defective part is a bearing, the assembly will be
> the unit that contains the bearing, such as a starter or alternator.
> This name is important for output data sorting, interrogation, and
> trend analysis.
An initial SDR might only contain information on the component until
teardown reveals the specific part that was defective. For example, an
aircraft experiences an engine-driven generator malfunction. The
generator is replaced after landing and an SDR is created and submitted.
At that time, all that is known is that the generator has failed. During
teardown of the generator, it is discovered that the shaft has broken. A
supplemental SDR would be created with this new information. This would
be a supplemental closed report, and the operator control number from
the original report would again be used in this report.
**b.** ***[Manufacturer\'s Name:]{.underline}***
> Enter the manufacturer of the component/assembly being reported.
> Submitters should use industry‑accepted abbreviations such as PWA for
> Pratt & Whitney.
**c.** ***[Part Number:]{.underline}***
> Enter the applicable manufacturer\'s part number for the component/
> assembly.
**d.** ***[Serial Number:]{.underline}***
> Enter the applicable manufacturer\'s serial number of the component/
> assembly.
**e.** ***[Model Number:]{.underline}***
> Enter the applicable manufacturer\'s model number of the
> component/assembly.
**f.** ***[Location:]{.underline}***
> Indicate the location of the component/assembly. For example, if
> reporting a generator failure and the generator is on the No. 2
> engine, report the location as engine No. 2. (Do not enter the
> geographical location where the service difficulty was discovered).
**g.** ***[Total Time:]{.underline}***
> Enter the total time in whole hours of the component/assembly. If the
> component/assembly total time is unknown, use the aircraft, engine, or
> propeller total time as applicable.
**h.** ***[Total Cycles:]{.underline}***
> If applicable, enter the component/assembly total cycles.
**i.** ***[Time Since:]{.underline}***
> Enter the time in whole hours that the component/assembly has been in
> service since its most recent overhaul, repair, or inspection. Mark
> the appropriate box to indicate whether the time indicated is since
> its most recent overhaul, repair, or inspection. If the
> component/assembly has not been overhauled, repaired, or inspected
> since it was new, no information would be entered in this field.
**7. Structure Causing Difficulty (for SDR Submission Form and Batch
Upload)**
If the service difficulty is structural in nature, use the appropriate
blocks to identify the location of the defect. Use the manufacturer\'s
standard location terminology as provided in the appropriate maintenance
manual. The blocks provided identify some of the critical body and wing
station locations. It is important to identify the location of the
structural defect as specifically as possible because this information
is used in trend analysis. Provide any additional location information
in item No. 4, Problem Description. The following are some examples of
additional location information: \"top of horizontal flange\", \"forward
edge of attaching member\", \"forward surface of bulkhead\", \"inboard
flange at nut plate\", and \"upper flange of stringer and skin
surface\".
If the SDR is related to aircraft structure, fill in the applicable
blocks:
a. ***[Body or Fuselage Station]{.underline}***
b. ***[Waterline]{.underline}***
c. ***[Crack Length]{.underline}***
If a crack is being reported, indicate crack length in inches.
d. ***[Number of Cracks]{.underline}***
Normally one crack = one SDR. Use this block for multi-site cracking.
e. ***[Stringer]{.underline}***
f. ***[Buttline]{.underline}***
g. ***[Wing Station]{.underline}***
h. ***[Structural Other]{.underline}***
i. ***[Corrosion Level]{.underline}***
> If corrosion is being reported, indicate corrosion level 2 or level 3
> by marking the appropriate block. Only those certificate holders with
> a required corrosion prevention and control program (CPCP) are
> required to report corrosion classification information in an SDR. For
> corrosion reporting, corrosion levels are defined as follows:
- [Level 2 Corrosion]{.underline}:
> Level 2 corrosion is corrosion occurring between successive
> inspections that requires rework/blend‑out that exceeds allowable
> limits, requiring a repair or complete or partial replacement of a
> principal structural element, as defined by the original equipment
> manufacturer\'s structural repair manual. Level 2 corrosion is also
> corrosion occurring between successive inspections that is widespread
> and requires blend‑out approaching the allowable rework limits.
- [Level 3 Corrosion:]{.underline}
> Level 3 corrosion is corrosion found during first or subsequent
> inspection(s) that is determined (normally by the operator) to be an
> urgent airworthiness concern requiring expeditious action.

## Health Effects of Exposure to Extreme Heat
**George Luber, PhD**
**Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects**
**National Center for Environmental Health**
**Centers for Disease Control and Prevention**
**Notes:**
Good afternoon,
I would like to begin by extending my thanks to the conference committee for orgainizing this session and giving
for this opportunity to talk on an important emerging public health threat: heat waves.
## Presentation outline
- An overview of the epidemiology of heat waves
- The impact of climate change on extreme heat exposure
- Current CDC activities
**Notes:**
Today’s talk will summarize some of the health impacts of exposure to extreme heat and highlight some of the activities CDC has undertaken to mitigate some of the effects
I’ll begin this presentation will an overview of the heat related illnesses and discuss the current state of knowledge about the epidemiology of heat waves,
This will be followed by a discussion of the potential impacts of climate change on extreme heat exposure and
Finally, I will conclude with an overview of some current CDC activities in this area.
## Heat Waves
**High mortality**
- More deaths than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods, and earthquakes combined.
- From 1999–2003, total of 3,442 _reported_ heat-related deaths. Annual mean of 688 (MMWR 2006)
**Lack of public recognition**
- No damage to infrastructure (silent killer)
- Many deaths go unreported or unattributed
**Every death is preventable**
**Notes:**
Heat waves are not new phenomena; they have been quietly killing the most vulnerable residents of our cities for centuries
In the United States, exposure to extreme heat is responsible for more deaths annually than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined. Over a 5 year period, from 1999–2003, there were a total of 3,442 reported heat-related deaths, for an annual average of 688.
But, despite the lethality of heat and heat waves, there is still a lack of public recognition of the hazard of extreme heat exposure.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that heat waves are silent killers--natural disasters that don’t leave a trail of destruction in their wake. Like other natural disasters they are sporatic phenomena, but unlike hurricanes, which leave lasting reminders of the devastation, memories of the heat wave disappears once cool weather arrives.
From a public health viewpoint, another major obstacle lies in the fact that the true impact of heat waves is largely underestimated because many heat-related deaths are unreported or unrecognized as heat-related. Bodies found days after a heat wave, with no core temperature to record, often are not coded on death certificates as heat-related. Furthermore, increases in hospital visits and deaths due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases have been documented during heat waves, suggesting that heat exacerbates these conditions as well. The inability, or failure to attribute these increases in mortality to the heat wave event has been a persistent challenge.
At some fundamental level, each heat-related death represents a failure of the public health and social welfare system But despite these obstacles, it is our position that each and every heat-related death is preventable.
## Heat Wave Studies
- 1980 St. Louis
- 1st to highlight the magnitude of mortality from heat waves
- All cause mortality increased 57%
- 1993 Philadelphia
- Identified cardiovascular mortality as a major cause of death associated with extreme heat
- 1995 Chicago
- Redefined heat-related death as used by medical examiners
- Assisted with the development of a Heat Wave Response Plan
## MMWR 1995
**MMWR 1995**
**2 day lag**
**Notes:**
Another important finding to emerge from the 1995 Chicago heat wave investigation was the relation between peak temperature, heat index, and mortality.
This graph shows maximum temperature, heat index, and the number of heat-related deaths during the 1995 heat wave in Chicago
Note the two day lag between max temp and deaths.
This finding has important implications for it suggests that medical examiner surveillance should not be used as triggers for the activation of a public health response, including the provisioning of emergency cooling centers, instead a response must be activated when a heat-wave is forecast, not after illness or deaths are reported.
## Heat Wave Studies
- 2003 France
- 34,000+ dead in Europe
- 14,000+ dead in France
- Many were elderly in nursing homes
- No effective method to cool
**Notes:**
Perhaps the most startling reminder of the potential lethality of heat waves was the August 2003 European Heat Wave, which was responsible for over 34,000 deaths across Europe and more than 14,000 deaths in France alone.
A combination of several factors were responsible for the high death rate, including a general lack of appreciation of the lethality of heat waves as evidenced by the fact that many health care professionals, who were on annual summer holiday in August, were not recalled to duty by the Ministry of Health.
Tragically, many of the victims of this heat wave in France were the elderly under supervised care in nursing homes, most of which were not equipped with air-conditioning or other means of cooling. Even cold baths, an inconvenient but effective option, were not able to be used for cooling because of the high ratio of residents to showers. It would have taken days to give all the residents a single turn, ruling out this option.
## Lessons Learned
- _Risk factors for hyperthermia:_
- Age
- Underlying medical conditions / mental illness
- Income and poverty status
- Homelessness
- Social isolation
- Access to health care and cooling facilities
- Neighborhood characteristics: land use/ land cover, crime rate, housing type, urban heat island
**Notes:**
These investigations, along with others have highlighted some of the most important risk factors for hyperthermia and heat-related death, including
--age: the elderly and very young are most vulnerable because they are not able to thermoregulate efficiently because of their higher sweating thresholds,thus increasing the risk of life-threatening consequences when their body temperatures rise
--those with underlying medical conditions such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease, obesity, and even mental illness are at increased risk
--poverty represents the combined risk of reduced health status and access to protective measures such as air conditioning:
[CLICK]
Increased risk is not limited to individual factors but also include features of the built environment that accentuate the health risks of heat waves including access to transportation, medical care and cooling centers as well as crime (necessitating keeping windows and doors closed for safety reasons), housing type and the urban heat island effect.
## Temperature-mortality relation for 11 US cities, 1973–1994
**Notes:**
Another important epidemiologic insight gained from long term analysis of temperature and mortality is that cities have a temperature at which mortality is lowest. Mortality rates rise at temperatures outside this comfort zone
This figure shws thel U-shaped relation between temperature and mortality for 11 US cities. The trough represents the comfort zone; the steeper (right-side) arm of each line shows the mortality increase at hot temperatures, and the shallower (left-side) arm of each line shows the increase with colder temperatures.
What’s most important about this analysis is that the temperature-mortality relation varies greatly by latitude and climatic zone. In general, northern cities are more vulnerable to high temperatures and southern cities to low temperatures.
Understanding the city-specific relation between temperature and mortality is critical for developing an appropriate public health respnse
## Climate Change Predictions
**Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): **
* ** *
* ** ** **“**Cities that currently experience heat waves are ** ** ** **expected to be further challenged by an ** ** ** ** **increased number, intensity and duration of ** ** ** **heat waves during the course of the century.”* [very high confidence]
**Notes:**
While urban areas of the United States are currently challenged by the high morbidity and mortality of heat waves a larger challenge is looming.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the leading international scientific body on the effects of climate change predicts an increase in the duration, intensity and frequency of heat waves in the coming century.
The fact that the IPCC, a body known for their highly conservative predictions of the impact of climate change, estimates this outcome with a very high confidence, underscores the certainty that this will become a major public health problem this century.
## A July day in Atlanta that now reaches a heat index of 105°F would reach a heat index of 115°F in the Hadley model, and 130°F in the Canadian model.
- July Heat Index Change -- 21st Century
- Map by B. Felzer, UCAR, based on data from Canadian and Hadley modeling centers.
**Notes:**
An indication of the magnitude of the impact climate change will have on temperatures is illustrated here.
These maps show the projected increase in average daily July heat index (a measure which combines heat and humidity) for the coming century, relative to the present. The largest increases in temperature are found in the southeastern states, where the Canadian model projects increases of more than 25°F.
For example, a July day in Atlanta that now reaches a heat index of 105°F would reach a heat index of 115°F in the Hadley model, and 130°F in the Canadian model.
## Urban “built” environments
- Cities and climate are coevolving in a manner that will place more populations at risk.
- Increase in vulnerable populations:
- Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, up from 30% in 1950.
- By 2100 there will be 100 million more people > 65 years old (relative to 2000) (Ebi et al. 2006).
- Urban heat islands
**Notes:**
Adding to the climate change-driven increases in temperature are the added effects of the urban “built” environment
In fact, cities and climate are co-evolving in a manner that will certainly amplify both the effect of heat as well as the vulnerability of urban populations to heat-related death, for example:
More than half the planet now lives in cities, up from 30 percent only 50 years ago. Urban areas are gaining an estimated 67 million people per year—about 1.3 million every week. By 2030, approximately 60% of the projected global population of 8.3 billion will live in cities.
Additionally, there is a projected increase of 100 million more persons greater than 65 years of age by the year 2100
This population increase will be accompanied with rapid urbanization which is quickly transitioning communities from native vegetation to an engineered infrastructure that increases thermal-storage capacity, resulting in significant change in the urban climate compared to adjacent rural regions, known as the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI)
## Urban Heat Island can add 7° – 12° F
- Thermal Satellite Image of Phoenix, AZ Night Surface Temperature
**Notes:**
The urban heat island can be a powerful force in local climate, as illustrated by the urban heat island diagram on the upper right. The combined effect of the high thermal mass provided by concrete and blacktop roads, and the low ventilation ability of the urban “canyons” created by tall buildings serve to extend the temperature increases created by climate change.
[CLICK]
In real terms, relative to the surrounding rural areas, urban heat islands can add from 7 – 12 degrees Fahrenheit to the urban heat load.
More importantly, the urban heat island serves to absorb heat during the daytime and radiate it out at night, raising the nighttime minimum temperatures, which have been epidemiologically linked with excess mortality.
This satellite thermal image of nighttime surface temperature in Phoenix vividly illustrates this effect.
- Slide on the Phoenix neighborhood study
- Neighborhood Microclimates within the UHI
- Harlan et al 2006
**Notes:**
In another study looking at the degree to which climate can vary within the urban heat island, Harlan and colleagues at Arizona State University compared 8 neighborhoods within Phoenix to look for differences in exposure to heat stress.
They quantified and compared neighborhood ecological characteristics such as land cover, vegetation type, settlement density as well as sociodemographic characteristics such as age, income, education, and availability of resources to cope with heat such as air conditioning and swimming pools. They found statistically significant differences in temperatures between the study neighborhoods during the entire summer, which increased during a heat wave period. High settlement density typified by apartment buildings, sparse vegetation, and having no open green space in the neighborhood were significantly correlated with higher temperatures and thermal comfort index.
Lower socioeconomic and ethnic minority groups, represented here by the Black Canyon Freeway neighborhood, were more likely to live in warmer neighborhoods with not only greater exposure to heat stress but in an environment that lacked resources to cope with it. In comparison, the upscale Historic Anglo Phoenix neighborhood, which has lush landscaped properties, ample greenspaces, and a high-percentage of houses with air-conditioning and pools experience significantly less heat exposure.
If we compare average summertime mean maximum temperature for the two groups, we notice that the historic anglo neighborhood is about 7 degrees cooler on average. But these differences are amplified during the critical times such as heat waves where the difference jumps to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. In sum, people in warmer neighborhoods were more vulnerable to heat exposure because they had not only greater exposure to heat but also had fewer social and material resources to cope with it.
## CDC activities
- Guidance on the development of city-specific heat response plans
- Vulnerability mapping using remote sensing
**Notes:**
To respond to the multiple threats posed by heat waves, the urban environment, and climate change, CDC has have focused prevention efforts on developing tools that local emergency planners and decision-makers can use to prepare for and respond to heat waves.
Two specific activities that I will highlight today include the creation of a guidance document for the development of heat response plans and the development of a methodology for mapping urban vulnerability to the effects of heat waves.
## Excessive Heat Events (EHE) Guidebook
- City-specific heat response plans
- The guidebook:
- EPA, NOAA, CDC, FEMA collaboration
- Options for defining EHE conditions
- How to assess local vulnerability
- EHE notification and response actions that work
**Notes:**
One critical lesson of previous investigations has been that excess mortality from heat waves can be prevented through the identification of relevant risk factors for a given locale and the development of written, city-specific heat response plans.
Following this, CDC, in collaboration with colleagues at EPA, NOAA, and FEMA, have participated in the development of an Excessive Heat Events Guidebook, which provides a comprehensive set of guiding principle and a menu of options for cities and localities to use in the development of Heat Response Plans.
These plans clearly define specific roles and responsibilities of government and non-governmental organizations during heat waves, They identify local populations at increased high risk for heat-related illness and death and determine which strategies will
be used to reach them during heat emergencies. Heat response plans also include specific criteria for activation and deactivation
of the plan and measures for periodic evaluation of the plan.
## Vulnerability Mapping using Remote Sensing
- _Objective:__ _
- “to develop a new research methodology that provides local and regional governments a new set of skills and tools in prevention and emergency response planning for acute and chronic urban climate impacts.”
**Notes:**
A second activity focused on adapting to the challenges of climate change and heat waves centers on a collaboration between CDC and the National Center of Excellence on Urban Climate and Energy at Arizona State University.
This project’s goal is to develop a research methodology that provides local and regional governments a new set
of tools for prevention and emergency response planning for acute and chronic urban climate impacts.
## Identify Vulnerable Neighborhoods
- Sorted spatially and temporally
**Notes:**
This approach attempts to understand the influence of built environment characteristics such as land use, housing stock and engineered materials on the spatial distribution of heat-related illness episodes, as quantified by EMS and Fire department dispatch data.
This map of Phoenix Arizona shows the location of heat-related incidents for 2001-2005
## Layers of Vulnerability / Risk Factors
**Layers include:**
- - Surface temp
- - Land cover
- - Power Outages
- - Demographic variables
- - Housing stock
- - Engineered materials
**Notes:**
This heat incident data can then be overlayed with other layers of known risk factors to predict which neighborhoods are more likely to experience heat-realted morbidity and mortality during heat waves.
This will allow local emergency response personnel to not only focus resources during these events but to also tailor prevention and health communication messages to specific ethnic or demographic groups.
Prioirity areas for the provisioning of energy assistance and air conditioning can also be identified by this approach.
## Composite Vulnerability Map
**Notes:**
Colleagues at King’s College London are producing similar composite vulnerability maps which display a graduated sensitivity to heat stress index by district. This composite variable considers factors such as age, housing type, population density and poverty, but does not factor in the influence of the heat island effect through the use of satellite thermal imagery, as was shown in the previous work.
We hope that future evaluations of these mapping techniques show that they are effective in predicting the location of deaths from heat waves and can prevent high mortality events like the one witnessed in Europe in 2003.
## Final thoughts:
**Morbidity and mortality related to summer heat can prevented. **
**Adaptation measures such as city-specific Heat Response Plans are essential for prevention.**
**Epidemiologic studies and ecological models of risk provide important guidance for prevention efforts.**
**Notes:**
To conclude, it has become clear that the excessive temperatures brought about by climate change and enhanced by factors of the built environment cannot be prevented, but the high morbidity and mortality associated with these events can be.
Public health can and should play an active role in the development of adaptation measures such as city specific heat response plans.
And finally, we should ensure that the development of these plans are guided by the best evidence based data, generated by epidemiologic studies and ecological models, on the relation between hazard and health outcomes.

## NIH
- Electronic Grant
- Application
## Getting Started with Electronic Submission
**Notes:**
Let’s discuss what steps you need to take to get started submitting electronic applications to NIH.
## Finding Grant Opportunities
**How Do You Find Grant Opportunities?**
- All applications must be submitted in response to a *Funding Opportunity Announcement* (FOA)
- FOAs are posted online in the _[NIH Guide for Grants & Contracts ](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html)__and at __[www.Grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/)__ (under “Find Grant Opportunities”)_
**NIH Guide:** _[http://](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html)__[grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html)_
**Notes:**
All applications to NIH must be submitted in response to a Funding Opportunity Announcement. Search for announcements related to your area of science in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Once you find the FOA that fits, open the announcement and there will be a button to “Apply for Grants Electronically” this will take you to the appropriate application package for the opportunity.
## Parent Announcements
“Parent” FOAs are your ticket to applying for investigator-initiated research
Use the Parent electronic application package for your chosen grant program (i.e. R01, R03, R21 etc.)
**“****Parent****”**** **FOAs are your ticket to applying for investigator-initiated research
- Use the Parent electronic application package for your chosen grant program (i.e. R01, R03, R21 etc.)
**Parent FOAs**
**Parent announcements listed at:**
- _[http://](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/parent_announcements.htm)__[grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/parent_announcements.htm](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/parent_announcements.htm)_
- Finding Grant Opportunities
**Notes:**
The move to electronic submission requires an electronic application package for each FOA so we created “Parent” FOAs to apply for Investigator-initiated research. Find the Parent announcement for your chosen grant program by typing in the word “Parent” while searching in the NIH Guide, or visit the Parent Announcement page at the URL listed.
## NIH – Two System Process
**Grants.gov**
- Grants.gov hosts standardized federal forms SF424 (R&R) and agency-specific forms (PHS 398)
- Electronic application through Grants.gov using these forms is mandatory for most FOAs. Grants.gov checks the application for federal-wide requirements.
**eRA Commons**
- NIH retrieves the data from Grants.gov and checks the application against NIH-specific requirements
- eRA Commons allows applicants to electronically track the status of submissions and to receive/transmit application and award information
**Notes:**
The electronic application process for NIH involves using standardized federal forms and some agency-specific forms provided online by Grants.gov. Once the forms are submitted to Grants.gov, the data is retrieved by NIH systems and checked against the rules and requirements for the Funding Opportunity Announcement. The vast majority of NIH Funding Opportunities require electronic submission through Grants.gov. Within NIH’s system, called the eRA Commons, Signing Officials and Principal Investigators can check the status of their applications and view the assembled application image. Each one of these systems has registration requirements that are independent of one another.
## Registration
**Grants.gov**** **
- Be sure your organization is registered! (one time)
- U.S. organizations obtain EIN from IRS (foreign applicants see next slide)
- Request DUNS # from Dun & Bradstreet
- Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR) – identify the eBiz Point of Contact (POC)
- Register the Authorized Organization Reps (AORs) who can officially sign the application and submit
- Visit: http://www.grants.gov/applicants/get_registered.jsp
**Grants.gov registration can take up to 8 weeks for international organizations. START NOW!**
**Notes:**
Every organization that will be applying for grants must be registered with Grants.gov – this is a one time process. The Authorized Organizational Representatives are the only ones who may submit applications electronically for the organization. The Grants.gov registration is a multi-step process that can take several weeks to complete. Be sure to start early to ensure that all the requirements are met prior to the receipt date for the grant application. Contact the Grants.gov Contact Center (information is included at the end of the presentation) for assistance with Grants.gov registration or software questions.
## Registration - International
**Tips for Foreign Organizations**
- If you do not have an EIN number – use 44-4444444 on the application
- You will need a NATO Commercial & Government Entity (NCAGE) Code *prior *to registering with CCR. The form and instructions can be found at: _[http://www.dlis.dla.mil/Forms/Form_AC135.asp](http://www.dlis.dla.mil/Forms/Form_AC135.asp)__ _
- Organizations with an address containing APO, FPO, or AE *do not* need an NCAGE code
- A few countries may have trouble accessing the CCR website. If so, phone: 1-269-961-5757 (International)
- For more details visit: _[h](http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/preparing_grantsgov_reg.htm)__[ttp://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/preparing_grantsgov_reg.htm](http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/preparing_grantsgov_reg.htm)__ _
**Notes:**
There are some registration requirements that are specific to foreign organizations – those items are listed on this slide.
## Registration
**eRA Commons – *****Register Your Organization ***
- Register your organization (one time) & register your Signing Officials (SO)
- SOs register and create separate accounts for the Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs)
- May be completed simultaneously with Grants.gov registration (as soon as the DUNS # is obtained)
- Register at:
- _[https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/registration/registrationInstructions.jsp](https://commons.era.nih.gov/commons/registration/registrationInstructions.jsp)_
**Allow 2 – 4 weeks to complete organization**
**registration in the eRA Commons**
**Notes:**
The NIH eRA Commons requires a one – time registration for the Organization. All Project Directors/Principal Investigators and Signing Officials must also be registered in the Commons. Signing Officials are able to view all applications that have been submitted on behalf of the organization. Contact the eRA Help Desk with any questions regarding registration or eRA Commons accounts.
## Registration
**eRA Commons – *****PD/PI Registration***
- The PD/PI needs to work with the SO to get registered in the eRA Commons
- The PI and SO need separate accounts because each has different privileges
- PIs have one account that follows them throughout their careers. They can view all applications where they are listed as “PI.” The same account may be affiliated with multiple organizations.
- SOs can view all applications submitted on behalf of the organization
**Allow 4 – 5 business days to complete **
**PI registration in the eRA Commons**
**Notes:**
The organization’s SO must create the PD/PI account in the eRA Commons. Once created, the PD/PI is encouraged to review their profile and keep all personal information up to date. PD/PIs can only view the applications that were submitted where they were assigned the PD/PI role. This may include applications from multiple organizations if the PD/PI has worked with multiple organizations. Once a PI has an account, they will keep it throughout their career regardless of whether they change organizations/institutions.
## Software Requirements
- Grants.gov Forms Viewer Software (Free)
- PureEdge Forms Viewer
- New Adobe Acrobat Viewer coming this Fall
- _[http://](http://www.grants.gov/resources/download_software.jsp)__[www.grants.gov/resources/download_software.jsp](http://www.grants.gov/resources/download_software.jsp)_

**Notes:**
In order to view the electronic application forms, you must download the required Forms Viewer that is available at no charge from the Grants.gov website. Mac users have a special viewer that they will need to use until Grants.gov releases a new viewer from Adobe Acrobat which will also be free of charge. This is anticipated for release at the end of summer 2007 or early fall. Applicants also need to have the ability to generate PDF (portable document format) documents to attach all of the required information to the application forms. Grants.gov provides a list of PDF software that is compatible on their website.
## Preparing Your Application

- The Organization Name must be included for all Senior/Key Persons listed
- Senior/Key Person effort listed on the R&R Budget form must be greater than zero
**For more information visit:**
- _[http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/avoiding_errors.htm](http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/avoiding_errors.htm)_
**Notes:**
These four errors are the most common that applicants have been experiencing. Keep this as a handy reference to ensure that you don’t get caught by one of them!
## Submit Your Application
- Registration with Grants.gov *and* eRA Commons must be complete prior to submission
- Only the AOR may sign & submit the application on behalf of the organization
- Grants.gov provides a Tracking Number and a Date/Time stamp when you click ‘Submit’ – save this information
**Notes:**
All registration requirements with Grants.gov and the eRA Commons must be completed prior to submitting the application. The application is submitted to Grants.gov by the Authorized Organizational Representative. Grants.gov will provide a Tracking Number and a Date/Time stamp as proof of receipt when the application is submitted. Be sure to print and save this information in the event that you need to contact Grants.gov or NIH for support.
## On Time Submission
- All registrations with Grants.gov & eRA Commons must be complete
- Initial submission must have a Grants.gov timestamp on or before **5:00p.m. local time** of submitting organization on the receipt date
- Errors in the application must be corrected within 5 business days of the receipt date
**Notes:**
On-time submission includes a Grants.gov timestamp on or before 5p (local time at the organization) on the receipt date. Grants.gov will notify the organization through the AOR the status of the application submission. Once NIH retrieves the application information, the SO, PD/PI and Person to be contacted that is listed on the application are all notified of the status at NIH.
## Errors & Warnings
***Errors*** stop processing and will keep your application from being accepted by NIH
***Warnings ***provide caution for you to ensure the item is correct, but will not stop processing
- “Changed/Corrected” applications may be submitted to Grants.gov again to address errors/warnings in the **five business days** after the receipt date.
- Initial application must have been on time
- you must include a cover letter explaining your changes
**Limited**
**Time!**
**Notes:**
If you have errors in the application, it will stop processing and your application will go no further. Warnings are to provide an indication that something may not be correct and applicants should check to be sure that no changes to the application are needed. You must correct errors within 5 business days after the receipt date. This correction period is being provided for a Limited Time since the process is new for the community.
In order to make changes to the application to correct errors and warnings, the AOR & PI must work together to make the necessary corrections and then the AOR must submit the entire application to Grants.gov again with a cover letter explaining the changes.
## Tracking Your Application
- It is the applicants responsibility to track the application
- Grants.gov will send status emails to the AOR. eRA Commons will send status emails to the Signing Official, PI & “Person to be contacted” listed on the application
- Log into eRA Commons to check application status; do not rely on emails. If it is error-free, you will have an assembled application to view
**Notes:**
It’s important to track your application in the eRA Commons to ensure receipt by NIH from Grants.gov. Do not rely on the email notifications since email can be unreliable.
## Application – Viewing Window
- Applicants have ***two weekdays*** (M-F, *not including U.S. federal holidays*) to view the assembled application. If no action is taken, it automatically proceeds to NIH’s Division of Receipt and Referral.
- Signing Official has option to “Reject”
- PI will receive e-mail notification if SO rejects application
- If “Rejected” after receipt date for any reasonother than a Grants.gov or NIH system issue, the submission is subject to the NIH late policy
**Notes:**
An error free application will be assembled by the eRA Commons and an image of the application is available online. Be sure to check your application and all attachments to ensure it was assembled and formatted by the system correctly.

### Brief Abstract
#### DESCRIPTION
This measure is used to assess the percentage of surgical patients aged
18 years and older undergoing procedures with the indications for a
first or second generation cephalosporin prophylactic antibiotic who had
an order for cefazolin or cefuroxime for antimicrobial prophylaxis.
#### RATIONALE
Current published evidence supports the use of either cefazolin, a first
generation cephalosporin, or cefuroxime, a second generation
cephalosporin, for many surgical procedures, in the absence of
Beta-lactam allergy. An alternative antimicrobial regimen may be
appropriate depending on the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in an
individual institution (potentially a medical reason for excluding
patients treated at that institution from this measure).\*
\*The following clinical recommendation statements are quoted
[verbatim]{.underline} from the referenced clinical guidelines and
represent the evidence base for the measure:
For most procedures, cefazolin should be the agent of choice because of
its relatively long duration of action, its effectiveness against the
organisms most commonly encountered in surgery, and it\'s relatively low
cost. (American Society of Health-System Pharmacists \[ASHP\])
In operations for which cephalosporins represent appropriate
prophylaxis, alternative antimicrobials should be provided to those with
a high likelihood of serious adverse reaction or allergy on the basis of
patient history or diagnostic tests such as skin testing.
The preferred antimicrobials for prophylaxis in patients undergoing hip
or knee arthroplasty are cefazolin and cefuroxime. Vancomycin or
clindamycin may be used in patients with serious allergy or adverse
reactions to Beta-lactams.
The recommended antimicrobials for cardiothoracic and vascular
operations include cefazolin or cefuroxime. For patients with serious
allergy or adverse reaction to Beta-lactams, vancomycin is appropriate,
and clindamycin may be an acceptable alternative. (Surgical Infection
Prevention Guidelines Writers Workgroup \[SIPGWW\])

**WORKBOOK FOR UNIFORM FEDERAL POLICY FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE**
**PROJECT PLANS**
**INTRODUCTION**
This *Workbook for Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance Project
Plans* is Part 2A of the *Uniform Federal Policy for Quality Assurance
Project Plans* (UFP-QAPP). It provides examples of worksheets to assist
with the preparation of QAPPs in accordance with Part 1 of the UFP-QAPP
(the UFP-QAPP Manual) and Section 6 (Part B) of *Quality Systems for
Environmental Data and Technology Programs - Requirements with guidance
for use*, ANSI/ASQ E4 (February 2004). This Workbook may be used by the
lead organization and its contractors to assist with the preparation of
QAPPs for environmental data gathering activities.
Each worksheet addresses specific requirements of the UFP-QAPP. Both the
UFP-QAPP Manual and the Workbook are intended to be comprehensive and
are not intended to be program-specific. Since the content and level of
detail in a specific QAPP will vary by program, by the work being
performed, and by the intended use of the data, specific worksheets may
not be applicable to all projects.
The ultimate success of an environmental program or project depends on
the quality of the environmental data collected and used in
decision-making, and this may depend significantly on the adequacy of
the QAPP and its effective implementation. It is recommended that the
individual worksheets included in this Workbook be taken to the project
scoping and planning sessions. The use of the worksheets will aid in
identifying the critical project information that will ensure that the
right type, quality, and quantity of data are collected to meet all of
the project's quality objectives. Though the format of each worksheet is
not mandatory, the information required on the worksheets must still be
presented in the QAPP, as appropriate to the project. In addition, QAPP
preparers are encouraged to develop additional tables, as appropriate to
the project. Sufficient written discussion in text format should
accompany all tables. Certain sections, by their nature, will require
more written discussion than others. In particular, Section 3.1.1 should
provide an in-depth explanation of the sampling design rationale, and
Section 5.2 should describe the procedures and criteria that will be
used for data review.

## IT Security Policy for Remote System Scanning and Patching
- IT Security Committee
- Presented to the CIO Council
- February 6th, 2007
## Outline
- Purpose
- Issue
- Background
- Alternatives
- Recommendation
- Backup Slides
## Purpose
- Present results of the ITSC review of current IT Security policy to ensure that is sufficient for securing remote devices.
- Options for additional policy for “on-access” scanning of remote devices when they connect to NOAA networks
- Implementation assessment of additional policy (including cost and potential benefits)
## Background
- Carl Staton and the NOAA CIO Council tasked IT Security Committee with evaluation of additional vulnerability scanning requirements on 08/22/06
- Presentation to CIO Council due 01/16/07 moved back due to CIO Council scheduling considerations until 02/06/07
## Issue
- Current vulnerability scanning requirements require remote devices to be scanned, but do not include “on-access” vulnerability scanning
** g) Remote Devices – Devices that connect indirectly to NOAA local area networks or NOAA-controlled wide area networks. Typically include dial-up modems and 3**rd** party Internet connections to access NOAA networks. *
*i. All remote devices shall have corrective actions performed within time frame set by the vulnerability priority level.*
*ii. Devices that cannot have corrective action performed within the allocated time frame should be denied access until such time as corrective action is performed.*
*iii. Access to corrective action resources may be allowed if the connection established is limited by system controls to only those resources necessary to perform the required corrective action.*
** Draft NOAA IT Security Manual update to NAO212-1300*
## Alternatives
- Status Quo –
- Quarterly vulnerability scanning of all devices including remote device
- Alternative One – Broad Policy
- Implement NOAA policy requiring ALL remote devices to be scanned for vulnerabilities before establishing *tier two** connections to NOAA Networks & provide a licensing for scanning software
- Alternative Two – Targeted Policy
- Implement NOAA policy requiring remote devices for “High” and “Moderate” impact systems to be scanned for vulnerabilities before establishing *tier two** connections to NOAA Networks & allow each system to implement scanning software as appropriate
- * Tier 2 remote access is define by the DOC IT Security Program Policy Appendix D, section 4 as that where, “basic user privileges are allowed to access systems processing or storing non-national security information _inside the inner DOC firewalls and internal to the DOC computing environment _
## Status Quo
- The current version of the Draft NOAA IT Security Manual requires quarterly vulnerability scanning of all devices including remote devices
- Scanning is not required before remote devices access NOAA Networks
- Pros
- Current policy draft has been vetted through all levels of the organization over the last three months
- No additional resources requested
- All DOC owned devices are required to be scanned quarterly
- Cons
- Systems are not scanned for vulnerabilities before connection to NOAA Networks
- Corrective actions may not be validated in an automated fashion within the time frame for responding to a vulnerability (corrective actions may have been perform with manual validation)
- Personally owned equipment used for remote access is not scanned at all
## Alternative One – Broad Policy
- Implement NOAA policy requiring ALL remote devices to be scanned for vulnerabilities before establishing tier two connections to NOAA Networks & provide a licensing for scanning software
*iv. All remote devices shall be scanned for vulnerabilities before accessing NOAA networks to validate that corrective actions have performed as required.*
- Pros
- Validation of corrective actions before potentially vulnerable systems are connected to NOAA networks
- Software for performing “On Access” vulnerability scanning generally provides additional security benefits (see Backup Slide 1)
- Validation of controls applied to all NOAA systems
- Cons
- Additional Software costs ~$313k (see Backup Slide 1)
- Policy and Tool implementation time and resources
- Running a scanning tool may affect performance of the end user device
## Alternative Two – Targeted Policy
- Implement NOAA policy requiring remote devices for “High” and “Moderate” impact systems to be scanned for vulnerabilities before establishing tier two connection to NOAA Networks & allow each system to implement scanning software as appropriate
*iv. All remote devices for “High” and “Moderate” impact systems shall be scanned for vulnerabilities before accessing NOAA networks to validate that corrective actions have performed as required.*
- Pros
- Validation of corrective actions before potentially vulnerable systems are connected to “High” or “Moderate” impact NOAA networks
- Software for performing “On Access” vulnerability scanning generally provides additional security benefits (see Backup Slide 1)
- Resources applied to systems with a greater level of security sensitivity
- Cons
- Additional Software costs ~$265k (see Backup Slide 1)
- Policy and Tool implementation time and resources
- Running a scanning tool may affect performance of the end user device
## Recommendation
- Maintain Status Quo
- Meets for current DOC and NOAA Policy requirements
- Current policy requirement to scan all devices quarterly
- IT Security priorities focusing on C&A and 800-53 controls
- Minimal reduction of risk to systems (low % of incidents)
- Recommendation for more comprehensive identification of Remote Access concerns to be addressed (inventory, authentication, auditing, and PII)
- Recommendation approved by NOAA IT Security Committee
- All LO representatives present agreed on the recommendation
- NMAO and NESDIS were not present for the vote
- No dissenting opinions
## Backup Slide 1 – “On Access” Scanning Software
- Several “On Access” vulnerability scanning software packages available including products by Harris, Cisco, SAINT, & BigFix
- For cost estimate purposes we used _Blink by eEye Digital_
- eEye’s Retina Vulnerability Scanning product in use by the IG
- _[http://eeye.com/html/products/blink/index.html](http://eeye.com/html/products/blink/index.html)_
** **** ****Capabilities** **Cost**

i THE ADVANCING SUFFRAGE CAUSE. '
I It is undeniable that Saturday's \ parade of the woman suffragists impressed all who beheld it./ Not that it was a great parade in the sense of numbers, for New York has beheld many fifteen, or twenty times the size. Nor did it haye the picturesqueness which has made of the London suffrage demonstra-i tions such wonderful pageants, armies with Banners, of which it has been writ-, ten that they were like mediaeval festi-' vals, "vivid with simple grandeur, alive with, ancient dignity." But the same ; earnestness actuated the New York women who personified their protest on Saturday. How they would be received, most of them did not know; To New York's credit be it said that the crowds were as respectfully silent or as friendly to the women marchers as the great London throngs who went to scoff and jeer and found it impossible to do so, because of the impressiveness of the scene and t.hfi nnwfir nf t.lia anneal in
the cause itself. ,And Saturday's marchers, we are sure, felt elated and inspired by the privilege of displaying their devotion to the cause under their veteran leaders,
In the years to come, if there are still years of battling for the suffragists, this parade will, we hope, become one of the features of the city's life. The numbers, the color, and. the picturesqueness will be added, in time and with experience, while the democratic features will not disappear. For tfye significance of Saturday's demonstration was double. Not only did it i recall to the beholders the ctknplete entrance of women into industrial life and economic activities whereby they come into competition with men fortified by the special privilege of the ballot, but it was essentially a democratic parade in that women of great wealth and women .wage earners and those in the whole range between were brought together by the in-! npiration of a common ideathe exten-
sion of the right of self-governmentTI Those persons read amiss the signs I of the times and of history who believe that a movement with this i purpose can be ignored or hooted down: It has- the irresistible power of a glacier, however slowly it may seem to move at times. But, so far as the woman suffrage cause is concerned, its progress nowadays is marvellously fast, for those whose recollections of it antedate the militant movement in England.^ Not only has another State lately been won, but in four others the question is to be submitted to the people in November next. In several others outside o the conservative East, notably South :j Dakota, the battle was lost in. the Legislature only by the narrowest of mar-' gins, and everywhere the agitation for it goes on unceasingly. Unless it be Socialism, there is no other radical political doctrine so warmly and widely discussed to-day, and, like Socialism, wo-man suffrage wins many of its triumphs | en |

##### SEMINAR:
## Novel Signaling in Breast Cancer---Dr. Mien-Chie Hung, Chairman, Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas.
Dr. Hung began by explaining that the first part of his talk would focus
on "traditional" cell signaling, while the second part would be on more
novel concepts in membrane signaling. He presented data from recent
studies in his lab examining the relationship between the human
epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (*Her2/neu*; erbB2) and the tumor
suppressor p53.
*Her2/neu* is an oncogene encoding a transmembrane receptor, tyrosine
kinase. Overexpression of *Her2/neu* confers resistance to apoptosis,
promotes cell growth, and is associated with poor clinical outcome in
many human cancers. Regarding its mechanism of activity, earlier work
had demonstrated that *Her2/neu* activates the phosphatidylinositol-3
kinase (PI(3)K)-Akt pathway, thus preventing cells from undergoing
apoptosis. NIH3T3 cells overexpressing *Her2/neu* (*Her2/neu* 3T3 cells)
are resistant to the DNA-damaging agent etoposide, while cells
overexpressing *Her2/neu* and an inactive Akt protein (DN-Akt 3T3 cells)
undergo etoposide-induced apoptosis. The protein p53 induces apoptosis
in response to DNA damage of this sort. Blockage of the Akt pathway with
PI(3)K inhibitors does not affect survival in either wild type or
p53^-^/^-^ cells, but it dramatically increases the sensitization to
etoposide in wild type cells---measured as lower cell activity and
greater apoptosis---demonstrating that p53 is essential for
etoposide-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, an intact Akt pathway seems
to be required for *Her2/neu*-mediated chemoresistance, and there
appears to be a relationship between Akt and p53 in etoposide-induced
apoptosis. Additional evidence for this relationship is that DN-Akt 3T3
cells, unlike *Her2/neu* 3T3 cells, express elevated levels of p53 and
that these levels increase following exposure to etoposide
Dr. Hung reminded the audience that p53 levels are regulated by the
interaction of several proteins, including MDM2, p300, and p19^ARF^. In
unstressed cells, MDM2 binds p53, resulting in p53 ubiquitination,
transport to the cytoplasm, and degradation. Following DNA damage, MDM2
is unable to bind p53 to facilitate nuclear export; consequently, levels
of p53 rise. Nuclear accumulation of p53 was seen in DN-Akt 3T3 cells
treated with etoposide---but not in *Her2/neu* 3T3 cells---implicating
Akt in p53-MDM2 interaction. To allow p53 accumulation in the nucleus of
*Her2/neu* 3T3 cells, nuclear export was inhibited by Leptomycin B. The
p53 protein obtained from *Her2/neu* 3T3 cells, but not from DN-Akt 3T3
cells, was ubiquitinated. Further experiments demonstrated that Akt
binds and phosphorylates MDM2 at two sites, Ser166 and Ser188, close to
sequences crucial for the cellular location of MDM2; immunofluorescence
staining showed that MDM2 is almost exclusively nuclear in *Her2/neu*
3T3 cells, while it is both nuclear and cytoplasmic in the DN-Akt 3T3
cells. Dr. Hung explained that this would suggest that Akt must
phosphorylate MDM2 for it to be translocated to the nucleus. The
phosphorylation state of MDM2 also affects its ability to bind p300 or
p19^ARF^. Phosphorylated MDM2 binds p300, resulting in increased p53
degradation, while nonphosphorylated MDM2 binds p19^ARF^, inhibiting
MDM2's ubiquitin-ligase activity and, thus, stabilizing p53. Dr. Hung
emphasized how blocking the *Her2/neu*-Akt pathway to prevent the
nuclear translocation of MDM2 has clinical implications for increasing
the cytotoxic effects of DNA-damaging drugs.
Dr. Hung concluded the first part of his presentation by describing how
*Her2/neu* overexpression and subsequent activation of the Akt pathway
promotes cell growth. Akt-mediated phosphorylation of the cell-cycle
inhibitor p21^Cip1/WAF1^ results in cytoplasmic localization and allows
interaction with caspase 3 and apoptosis-signal-regulating kinase 1
(ASK1), thus inducing resistance to apoptosis. Nuclear p21^Cip1/WAF1^,
however, inhibits cell growth. The cellular localization of
p21^Cip1/WAF1^ is clinically relevant, as Dr. Hung presented evidence
correlating significantly greater survival in cancer patients with
nuclear rather than cytoplasmic p21^Cip1/WAF1^ expression.
In the second part of his talk, Dr. Hung discussed the nuclear
localization of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its
potential role as a transcription factor. A paper published by his group
in 1994 showed that the *Her2/neu*-encoded protein p185 is localized in
the nucleus and that its C-terminal domain possesses transcriptional
activity when used as "bait" in the yeast two-hybrid system (Xie and
Hung, *BBRC* 203; 1589-98). This was the first published report that a
membrane-receptor tyrosine kinase had transcriptional activity. Work has
since begun to address the function of nuclear EGFR. Immunohistochemical
studies have demonstrated that EGFR is found in the nuclei of highly
proliferating cells as well as those of tumor cells and that the
C-terminal domain of EGFR is associated with strong transcriptional
activity (see Lin *et al.*, Nat. Cell Biol. (2001) 3:802-808).
Dr. Hung explained that the cyclic amplification and selection of
targets (CASTing) technique was employed to determine whether the EGFR
bound directly to DNA and to identify its DNA-binding site. An AT-rich
minimal consensus sequence (ATRS) was identified and subsequently
confirmed as an EGFR-binding site using gel-shift assays.
Because EGFR was found in the nucleus of highly proliferative cells, Dr.
Hung explained that its targets might be genes involved in cell growth;
two ATRS consensus sequences were subsequently identified in the cyclin
D1 promoter. A reporter gene containing the two ATRS sequences derived
from the cyclin D1 promoter was activated *in vitro* by EGF treatment.
Dr. Hung also presented chromatin immunoprecipitation results showing
that EGFR was physically associated with the cyclin D1 promoter,
confirming that cyclin D1 expression is regulated by EGFR.
Dr. Hung concluded that further studies are required to explain how EGFR
is translocated into the nucleus and to define the involvement of its
ligand in regulating DNA-binding and transcriptional activation. He
indicated that the mechanism involved may be common to many other
transmembrane receptors that have also been found in the nucleus, such
as FGFR, IL-1R, and c-erbB-4. He closed his presentation by speculating
on how transmembrane receptors physically translocate to the nucleus.

BOOTS AND SADDLES.
general to leave his bed. It was growing dark, and we were in the midst of a Dakota blizzard. The snow was so fine that it penetrated the smallest cracks, and soon we found white lines appearing all around us, where the roof joined the walls, on the windows and under the doors. Outside the air was so thick with the whirling, tiny particles that it was almost impossible to see one's hand held out before one. The snow was fluffy and thick, like wool, and fell so rapidly, and seemingly from all directions, thjt it gave me a feeling of suffocation as I stood outside. Mary was not easily discouraged, and piling a few light fagots outside the door, she tried to light a fire. The wind and the muffling snow put out every little blaze that started, however, and so, giving it up, she went into the house and found the luncheon - basket we had brought from the car, in which remained some sandwiches, and these*" composed our supper.
The night had almost settled down upon us when the adjutant came for orders. Knowing the scarcity of fuel and the danger to the horses from exposure to the rigor of such weather after their removal from a warm climate, the general ordered the breaking of camp. All the soldiers were directed to take their horses and go into Yankton, and ask the citizens to give them shelter in their homes, cow-sheds, and stables. In a short time the camp was nearly deserted, only the laundresses, two or three officers, and a few dismounted soldiers remaining. The towns-people, true to the unvarying western hospitality, gave everything they could to the use of the regiment; the officers found places in the hotels. | en |

## HDO Measurement Comparison
- Photofragment laser induced fluorescence
- Integrated Cavity Absorption
## deltaD Comparison
## deltaD Difference
## H2O regression
## HDO regression
## HDO fractional difference
- Large fractional differences in *stratospheric* HDO
- ICOS HDO is greater than Hoxotope HDO
- Likely due to ICOS offset (fit issues)
- Fit issues are mostly absent on 20050707
## 20050707 D
## presummary
- ICOS D offset of up to 100 per mil is likely due to the ICOS HDO fit.
- Source consistent with ICOS analysis
- Consistency on 20050707 when ICOS works best gives added confidence to D:
- Dstratosphere = DHox = -462 per mil
## January July comparison
## CRYSTAL Comparison
## ATMOS tropical profiles

## Rayleigh Fraction
- XICE = (Dstratosphere – DRayleigh)/(DICE – DRayleigh)
## Summary
- Hoxotope and ICOS water isotope measurements are in excellent agreement throughout most of the dataset
- Within 3% difference in HDO for AVE_WIIF
- D agree within 100 per mil (within instrument uncertainties)
- Differences between Hoxotope and ICOS are in the stratosphere
- HDO difference likely due to ICOS HDO spectral retrieval
- Flight of 20050707 shows excellent agreement (-5 per mil)
- Stratospheric D = -462 per mil
- Significantly heavier than January (D = -590)
- Significantly heavier than CRYSTAL/FACE (D = -713)
- Ice lofting mechanism are likely dominant

the interference.[^4] You did not respond to Mr. Hollingsworth's
letter.
3. On August 19, 2005, an agent from the FCC's Detroit Field Office
conducted an investigation at the offices of Farm Bureau Insurance
in Grand Haven, Michigan, with Nancy Humphrey. The agent determined
that the office telephones, which are Part 15 devices and part of a
Panasonic KX-T7633 telephone system, were causing interference to
amateur radio operations in the 3.82-3.870 MHz band. The agent
informed Mrs. Humphrey of the interference findings and advised her
that FCC's rules require that Farm Bureau Insurance discontinue use
of the telephone equipment until the interference is eliminated,
either through modification or replacement of the equipment.
4. As you previously were advised in the February 23, 2005 letter from
Mr. Hollingsworth, Section 15.5(b) of the Rules states that
"\[o\]peration of an intentional, unintentional, or incidental
radiator is subject to the conditions that no harmful interference
is caused . . . . "[^5] Section 15.5(c) of the Rules states "The
operator of a radio frequency device shall be required to cease
operating the device upon notification by a Commission
representative that the device is causing harmful interference.
Operation shall not resume until the condition causing the harmful
interference has been corrected."
5. Violations of the Act or the Commission's Rules may subject the
violator to substantial monetary forfeitures,[^6] seizure of
equipment through *in rem* forfeiture action, and criminal
sanctions, including imprisonment.[^7]
6. Mr. Humphrey d/b/a Farm Bureau Insurance may request an interview at
the closest FCC Office, which is Federal Communications Commission,

## Validation of the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder ClO Measurements
- Michelle Santee + MLS Team
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology
- MkIV, SLS Teams
- Odin/SMR Team
- Aura Science and Validation Team Meeting
- 11–15 September 2006
- Boulder, CO
## Overview of Aura MLS version 2.1 (v2.1) ClO Data
- As in v1.5, the standard product for ClO is taken from the 640 GHz retrieval
- v2.1 ClO data are scientifically useful over the range 100 to 1 hPa
- ClO measurements are reported at 6 pressure levels per decade change in pressure
- Vertical resolution is ~3 km from 100 to 10 hPa, ~5 km at 1 hPa
- Adjacent profiles are separated by ~165 km along the orbit track
- Horizontal resolution is ~250 km along-track, ~3 km cross-track
- Brief review of the quality of the version 1.5 (v1.5) MLS ClO data:
- Useful range: 100 – 1 hPa
- Estimated precision: ~0.1–0.2 ppbv throughout the vertical range
- Artifacts: pervasive negative bias of 0.2–0.3 ppbv in both daytime and nighttime mixing ratios below ~32 hPa; largely eliminated by taking Day-Night differences
## Comparisons between v2.1 and v1.5 MLS ClO Data
- v2.1 vs. v1.5: Profiles are slightly noisier, max values at the secondary peak are smaller, and the negative bias at lowest levels is slightly larger
## Precision of Aura MLS v2.1 ClO Data
- Scatter in the v2.1 data in a 20°-wide band centered around the equator (where atmospheric variability should be small) indicates ClO precision of ~0.1–0.2 ppbv throughout most of the vertical range
- Observed scatter in the v2.1 ClO data is slightly larger than it was in v1.5, especially at the lowest retrieval levels
- The single-profile precision reported by the Level 2 software agrees well with the observed scatter in the lower stratosphere but overestimates it slightly above 10 hPa
## Comparison with UARS MLS ClO Climatology & v1.5
- Time series of MLS ClO at 520 K (~46 hPa, 19 km) for both the Southern (left) and Northern (right) Hemispheres
- Grey dots: daily means from UARS MLS for 1991–2000
- Blue dots: daily means from v1.5 Aura MLS for 2004–2006
- Red dots: daily means from v2.1 Aura MLS (17 available days, 2004–2006)
- The evolution of ClO over an annual cycle, and the latitudinal distribution of enhanced wintertime ClO, generally matches that of UARS MLS very well
- The low bias in Aura MLS ClO data is evident
## Comparisons with Balloon ClO Data
- Comparisons with balloon measurements made near Aura overpasses in September 2005 show a significant negative bias in v1.5 MLS ClO mixing ratios below ~32 hPa that is even larger (~0.4–0.5 ppbv) in v2.1
- Taking Day-Night differences largely eliminates the low bias in MLS ClO
## Comparisons with Odin/SMR ClO Data
- “Chalmers v2.0” SMR data
- All coincident profiles from MLS and SMR for 17 days
- Coincidence criteria: ±1° latitude, ±4° longitude, ±12 hours
- No solar zenith angle (SZA) criteria have been imposed for these comparisons, which may affect agreement for some points
- Agreement in general morphology is excellent
- Compared to SMR, MLS v2.1 ClO is considerably smaller at the lowest retrieval levels, where MLS has a known negative bias
## Comparisons with Odin/SMR ClO Data
- Average differences between MLS v2.1 and SMR ClO are small (less than 0.1 ppbv) except at the lowest levels, where they rise to 0.5 ppbv
## Summary of v2.1 MLS ClO Data Quality
- v2.1 MLS ClO measurements are similar to those in v1.5
- Profiles are noisier and have slightly larger oscillations, and the low bias below ~32 hPa has been exacerbated
- Useful range: 100 to 1 hPa
- Vertical resolution: ~3 km from 100 to 10 hPa, ~5 km at 1 hPa
- Estimated precision: ~0.1–0.2 ppbv throughout the vertical range
- Artifacts: pervasive negative bias of 0.4–0.5 ppbv in both daytime and nighttime mixing ratios below ~32 hPa; largely eliminated by taking Day-Night differences
- Significant changes are not expected for ClO in version 2.2 | en |

FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
BUDGET REQUEST
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FY 2009 budget request of the Federal Election Commission (FEC or
Commission) is for \$63,897,315. This request reflects an increase of
\$4,673,315 (7.9%) over the FEC's anticipated FY 2008 appropriation
level. The FEC is requesting this increase to ensure that the Commission
remains equipped to effectively and efficiently meet an anticipated
increase in responsibilities resulting from (1) recent changes in
Federal campaign finance laws, (2) the continuing increase in the level
of contributions to, and spending by, Federal candidates, and (3) the
expanding timeframe that Federal candidates are engaged in their
campaigns.
A brief summary of this request is presented below.
+-----------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+

| | $59,224,000** | 63,897,315** | |
+-----------------------+---------------+--------------+--------------+
To successfully manage the continued and anticipated increase in
responsibilities, the Commission would allocate funds from the requested
budget increase to:
- Add 12 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to work in areas of the
agency that are most impacted by the increased demands;
- Invest in several technological advances, such as improvements to
its public disclosure databases and internal compliance systems,
that would allow the Commission to provide additional services to
the regulated community and the public, while conducting business
more efficiently; and
- Sufficiently address internal control weaknesses relating to
financial management and systems previously identified through the
annual audits of the Commission's financial statements.
A portion of the budget increase also supports the standard anticipated
inflationary adjustments for salaries and benefits, as well as
inflation-driven cost increases for non-personnel expenditures.

**COMMISSION STRUCTURE**
The FEC ([www.fec.gov](http://www.fec.gov/)) is an independent
regulatory agency with exclusive responsibility for administering,
enforcing, defending and interpreting the Federal Election Campaign Act
of 1971, 2 U.S.C. 431 *et seq.*, as amended by the Bipartisan Campaign
Reform Act of 2002 (BCRA), Pub. L. 107--155, 116 Stat. 81 (2002) (FECA
or the Act). The Commission is also responsible for administering the
public funding programs (26 U.S.C.) for presidential campaigns and
conventions, which includes certification and audits of all
participating candidates and committees, and enforcement of public
funding legislation.
The agency is directed by six Commissioners appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate. By law, no more than three
Commissioners can be members of the same political party. Each Member
serves a six-year term and two seats are subject to appointment every
two years. The Commissioners meet regularly to formulate policy and to
vote on significant legal and administrative matters. The Act requires
at least a four-vote majority for the Commission to adopt any official
action or policy.
As part of its responsibilities, the FEC ensures transparency in the
Federal campaign finance system by enforcing the Act's requirement that
all Federal candidates and Federal political committees file financial
disclosure reports, and by making those disclosure reports readily
available to the public through the Commission's internet-based public
disclosure system. The FEC also has exclusive responsibility for civil
enforcement of the Act, including the handling of civil litigation
arising from any legal actions brought by or against the Commission. All
fines or civil penalties received are deposited with the U.S. Treasury
and are not available for the Commission's use. Additionally, the
Commission promulgates regulations implementing the Act and issues
advisory opinions responding to inquiries generally from the regulated
community.
MISSION STATEMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
***To prevent corruption in the Federal campaign process by
administering, enforcing and formulating policy with respect to Federal
campaign finance statutes.***
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary purposes of the Act are to:
- Prevent improper influence or the appearance of improper influence
of Federal candidates by imposing contribution limits; and
- Provide transparency through mandatory disclosure of financial
activity.
In order to prevent improper influence of Federal candidates that might
result from large campaign contributions, the Act limits the amount that
any one person or entity may contribute to a Federal political
candidate. The Act also prohibits certain entities, such as corporations
and labor unions, from making Federal political contributions
altogether. Beyond contribution limits and prohibitions, the Act also
requires accurate and comprehensive public disclosure by Federal
candidates and Federal political committees of all contributions and
expenditures. The Commission facilitates transparency in the Federal
campaign finance system through a state-of-the-art internet-based public
disclosure system for all campaign finance activity.
The FECA reflects a belief that democracy works best when voters can
make informed decisions in the political process, decisions based in
part on knowing the sources of candidates' financial support -- hence,
the focus on transparency. Public confidence in the political process
depends not only on laws and regulations to assure transparency, as well
as on limits and prohibitions on the amounts and sources of
contributions, but also on the knowledge that those who disregard those
laws and regulations will face real consequences for non-compliance --
hence the focus on effective and fair enforcement to maintain the
integrity of campaign financing.
Despite a vigorous enforcement program designed to ensure compliance
with both the Act's contribution restrictions and the disclosure
provisions, voluntary compliance with the requirements of the Act
remains a principal focus of the Commission's efforts. Because of the
large and rising number of political committees and the ever-growing
number and complexity of financial disclosure reports filed with the
FEC, it would be cost-prohibitive to enforce the requirements of the Act
without significant voluntary compliance. Accordingly, the Commission
devotes significant resources to encouraging voluntary compliance
through the widespread dissemination to the public, the press, political
committees, and to State election officials of educational materials
related to the campaign finance laws.
STRATEGIC GOAL
As reflected in an updated strategic plan that is being developed for FY
2008 through 2012, the FEC's mission is supported by a single,
overarching strategic goal. The following goal is intended to
succinctly, yet simply, characterize the fundamental responsibility with
which the Commission has been entrusted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*To protect the integrity of the Federal campaign process by providing
transparency, enforcing contribution restrictions, and fairly
administering the FECA and related statutes.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
**STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK**
This goal is pursued by three strategic objectives and underlying
activities that guide the operations of the FEC. These are some of the
many activities that constitute the day-to day work of the agency's
staff.
## Objective A: Transparency -- Receiving Accurate and Complete Campaign Finance Disclosure Reports and Making Them Available to the Public
- Creating and maintaining a state-of-the-art electronic filing system
for collecting financial disclosure reports from Federal candidates
and political committees;
- Making financial disclosure reports available to the public in a
timely, efficient and useful manner;
- Reviewing financial disclosure reports to ensure that the reports
are accurate and complete; and
- Encouraging candidates and political committees to correct
inaccurate or incomplete reports.
### Objective B: Compliance -- Education and Enforcement
- Expanding awareness of the campaign finance laws through creation
and dissemination of educational materials, and instructional
conferences and workshops;
- Responding to complaints alleging violations of the campaign finance
laws;
- Imposing civil penalties for late-filed and non-filed disclosure
reports;
- Conducting audits in a timely and efficient manner;
- Working with the Department of Justice regarding prosecution of
criminal violations of the Act; and
- Making findings in completed compliance matters available to the
public in a timely and useful manner.
**Objective C: Development of the Law -- Interpreting and
Administering the Act**
- Conducting rulemaking proceedings to promulgate Commission
regulations consistent with revisions to the Act and judicial
decisions related to the Act;
- Issuing advisory opinions providing specific guidance to the
regulated community;
- Defending challenges to the Act, Commission regulations or actions;
and
- Certifying all presidential public funding payments in a timely and
efficient manner.
Management excellence is a key means to ensure that the FEC achieves
these objectives in the most efficient and effective manner.
Consistent with the President's Management Agenda (PMA), the
Commission is updating its human capital plan to better address the
following elements: (1) strategic alignment; (2) workforce
planning; (3) leadership development; and (4) knowledge transfer and
results-oriented performance. In addition to investing in its
people, the Commission believes strong financial management and
up-to-date technology are critical to supporting the mission and
business operations, thereby ensuring that controls and systems meet
applicable standards and can accommodate changes in stakeholder
expectations and needs.
Together these strategic objectives and management initiatives
provide a strong foundation on which the FEC accomplishes its
mission and plans for future challenges. The following section
discusses the objectives mentioned above and presents brief
descriptions of program activities, noteworthy trends and key
accomplishments. Results achieved in carrying out these objectives
and activities include (1) shorter processing times, (2) new
procedures for informing the regulated community of the law, (3) an
increase in the number and types of outreach activities, and (4)
improved access to and the ease of use of the campaign finance data.
# Objective A: Transparency
**Receiving Accurate and Complete Campaign Finance Disclosure Reports
and Making Them Available to the Public.**
One of the FEC's most important responsibilities is to receive campaign
finance reports, which detail the sources and amounts of funds used to
finance Federal elections, and to make the reports available to the
public in a timely and efficient manner. During the 2006 election cycle,
the Commission received over 127,000 financial disclosure reports and
statements, the equivalent of 3.9 million pages of financial data,
disclosing approximately \$4.1 billion in spending related to Federal
elections. This represents an increase of approximately five percent
from the 2004 election cycle. The Commission anticipates that the 2008
election cycle will see even a greater increase, especially since there
is no incumbent running for the Presidency. For example, as of August
2007, the Commission has received approximately seven percent more
financial disclosure reports and statements than what was received
relative to the same period before the 2004 presidential election.
![](media/image2.wmf)
As illustrated in the chart above, the Commission has seen a continued
increase in the total reports and statements filed over the past 10
years. Despite this increase, the Commission continues to improve on the
timeliness with which reports are processed and made available to the
public on the Commission's website. For example, since the institution
of mandatory electronic filing in 2000, the median time to process all
documents has decreased from eleven to just two days.
In addition to the rising number and complexity of filings, the volume
of transactions disclosed on campaign finance reports has also grown
dramatically. As illustrated in the charts below, every election cycle
since 1990 has seen a new record in total contributions and spending in
Federal elections.
![](media/image3.wmf)![](media/image4.wmf)
![](media/image5.wmf)
![](media/image6.wmf)
Not only does the FEC's internet-based electronic filing system allow
candidates and political committees to file electronically, it also
permits the committees to disclose more detailed information than ever
before. The rise in the volume of reported information and financial
activity has placed an increased burden on the review and analysis that
the Commission must perform to ensure completeness and accuracy for
disclosure and compliance purposes.
With the passage of mandatory electronic filing for the majority of
committees, the FEC, political candidates and committees, and the public
are experiencing the benefits of timeliness and work process
improvements that a sophisticated system affords. For example, the
Commission's electronic filing system provides a comprehensive on-line
help feature to assist candidates and committees with preparation and
filing of their disclosure reports. Furthermore, the system permits
anyone with internet access to view the following campaign finance
information:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| - A list of all disclosure reports and other forms filed by a |
| Federal candidate or a political committee, as well as a link to |
| copies of the reports. |
| |
| - Summaries of financial activity, such as total receipts, |
| disbursements, contributions to Federal committees, cash on hand |
| and debts and obligations of a candidate or committee. |
| |
| - A list of all documents filed by a candidate with a cross |
| reference to reports filed by other political committees, which |
| disclose contributions and other expenditures related to that |
| candidate. |
| |
| - An itemized list of each individual contribution to a candidate |
| or committee. |
| |
| - An itemized list for each political committee of contributions |
| made to candidates, including independent expenditures for or |
| against candidates. |
| |
| - Documents related to FEC audits, enforcement actions and |
| litigation regarding a candidate or political committee. |
| |
| - Documents related to FEC advisory opinions. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
In 2006, the FEC's electronic disclosure database and website received
3.8 million unique visits and over 101 million page hits by users
seeking campaign finance data and other information. Each day, the FEC
website continues to receive an average of 10,000 visitors. When on the
FEC website, these visitors have access to over 27,000 documents, plus
hundreds of thousands of pages of campaign finance data that have been
submitted by candidates and committees and posted on-line by FEC staff.
For FY 2007, it is anticipated that the FEC website will receive
approximately 102 million hits. Also, as the 2008 presidential election
nears, the Commission anticipates an even greater number of visits to
the FEC website through FY 2009.
![](media/image7.wmf)
To make campaign finance data contained in the disclosure reports filed
with the Commission even more accessible to the public, in June 2007,
the FEC launched a new interactive map of the United States at
[www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do](http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do)
that allows users to have immediate access to contribution information
for the 2008 presidential race. With a simple click, users can access,
through the map, the amount of funds raised on a state-by-state basis,
with an option of viewing contributions to specific candidates, all
candidates or all candidates from a particular political party. The map
provides convenient access to the total contributions to each candidate,
along with each candidate's cash-on-hand and the distribution of each
candidate's contributions by amount. The map also allows the user to
access lists of contributors by name, city, amounts of contributions and
dates within the first three digits of their zip code, and can be sorted
and downloaded to a spreadsheet format. Contribution data are updated
within one day of the Commission's receipt of electronically-filed
presidential disclosure reports.
**[Presidential Campaign Finance
Map](http://www.fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapApp.do).** Campaign finance
information for the 2008 presidential election.
![](media/image8.png){width="5.081944444444445in"
height="3.1770833333333335in"}
This new interactive tool has already received nearly 500,000 hits since
it was first made available in June 2007. The Commission is in the
process of identifying other technological enhancements that will allow
the public to access campaign finance data more easily and in more
useful ways, thereby facilitating the public's capacity to conduct more
sophisticated analyses of the available data.
**Review of Campaign Finance Filing Reports**
In addition to making available to the public all campaign finance
disclosure reports that are filed, the Commission also reviews all
reports for compliance with the law and to verify that the information
is accurate and complete. This ensures that the public is provided a
full representation of all candidates' and committees campaign finance
activity. The following chart illustrates the (1) total number of
reports and statements received; (2) total number of reports and
statements processed; and (3) total number of reports and statements
reviewed during an election cycle.
![](media/image9.wmf){width="5.626388888888889in"
height="3.623611111111111in"}
In the 2006 Congressional election cycle, nearly \$4.1 billion in
campaign funds were disbursed by 8,000 committees that filed over
127,000 reports and statements. Together these reports contained
information on 2.8 million separate campaign contribution and
expenditure transactions. Despite an increase of nearly 15 percent
between the 2004 and 2006 election cycles in the number of reports
reviewed, and a continued increase in the amount of contributions and
disbursements in the election cycles, the Commission was able to make
significant improvements in the timeliness of the review of these
reports.
Although the Commission has achieved significant success in its effort
to improve the review time for routine matters, it continues to face
challenges in its efforts to analyze more complex matters. These include
potential fraudulent activities designed to circumvent the limits of the
Act, such as embezzlement and multi-tiered conduit schemes for making
contributions in the name of another person.
This budget request reflects the need for increased funding for staff
with specialized expertise in identifying such complex, hard-to-detect
schemes. The Commission also seeks funding to support this expertise
through technological enhancements, such as data mining software. These
resources will further assist the FEC in presenting financial data to
the public and the regulated community in a manner that is even more
transparent and beneficial to the public.
# Objective B: Compliance
**Education**
The Commission continues to receive many telephone and written requests
from the regulated community and the public for information, data and
assistance in filing financial disclosure reports. Helping the regulated
community understand its obligations under the Act is an essential
component of improving voluntary compliance. One way the Commission
continues to promote voluntary compliance with the law is by educating
political committees and the public about the requirements of the Act.
In FY 2006 alone, the Commission implemented several policy statements
providing the regulated community with additional guidance on certain
submissions by candidates and political committees. These include
statements (1) to clarify and encourage self-reporting of violations,
(2) to offer guidance on disclosure efforts including descriptions for
the purpose of disbursements, and (3) to outline the requirements to
show "best efforts" by committees to obtain and report financial
information.
The Commission also encourages voluntary compliance by hosting
conferences in Washington, DC, and in other cities across the country,
where Commissioners and staff explain how the Act applies to candidates
and political committees. These conferences address recent changes in
the campaign finance laws and focus on fundraising and reporting
regulations.
For both political committees and the public, the Commission's website
has become the single-most important source of instantly accessible
information about the Act and Commission regulations. While the
Commission continues to make available printed copies of brochures and
publications, documents related to all aspects of the FEC's work are
available at [www.fec.gov](http://www.fec.gov/). These range from
documents such as informational brochures on specific topics and the
FEC's monthly newsletter, *The Record*, to copies of the Act, the
Commission's regulations, advisory opinions, and litigation documents.
Documents related to enforcement matters, including audit reports, are
also available. The website also includes a query function for accessing
documents related to final enforcement actions.
The Commission strongly believes in all aspects of transparency,
including making its internal process more accessible to the public.
Through its continued efforts to improve the accessibility of data, in
March 2007, a new tool to search for advisory opinions was implemented
on the FEC website. The new search engine allows for full-text searches
of all Commission advisory opinions issued since the beginning of 1990.
When a specific opinion is selected, links to all related materials
(e.g., copies of the original request, Commission draft opinions and
third-party comments) are also provided, making the system a quick and
comprehensive research tool.
The Commission also recently expanded its information outreach on the
internet to include (1) online presentations; (2) hypertext versions of
the *Explanations & Justifications* for all FEC regulations; and (3) a
"*Tips for Treasurers*" page that allows political committee treasurers
and other interested individuals to receive automatic updates, even
without having to visit the FEC's website. The Commission also recently
transitioned to an e-mail distribution program for financial disclosure
forms and other publications aimed at improving customer service, while
simultaneously saving tax dollars by saving on costs associated with
printing and postage. This program allows the Commission to distribute
time-sensitive information to the regulated community more quickly and
more efficiently than ever before. Furthermore, the FEC expanded its
services by providing advance notices and reminders of filing deadlines.
These investments represent a significant first step to help improve
compliance with the Act and enable additional educational and outreach
efforts. This budget request seeks to build on these accomplishments.
**Enforcement**
***Traditional Enforcement Program***
Under the traditional enforcement program, the Commission learns of
possible FECA violations primarily through:
- The complaint process, whereby anyone may file a sworn complaint
alleging violations of the Act;
- The review of a committee's reports or through audit;
- Voluntary self-reporting by candidates or political committees who
believe that they may have violated the Act; and
- The referral process, whereby other government agencies may refer
possible violations of the Act to the FEC.
The FEC has exclusive jurisdiction over civil enforcement of violations
of the Act and coordinates with the Department of Justice on criminal
enforcement of the Act. Whether initiated by outside complaint or
internal referral, the most complex and legally significant enforcement
matters, or matters under review (MURs), are handled by the Enforcement
Division of the Office of General Counsel (OGC).
The Enforcement Division:
- Recommends to the Commission whether it should find "reason to
believe" that the Act has been violated, a finding that formally
initiates an investigation;
- Investigates possible violations of the Act by requesting,
subpoenaing, and reviewing documents and interviewing and deposing
witnesses;
- Conducts settlement negotiations seeking to culminate in
conciliation agreements with respondents;
- Recommends to the Commission whether it should find "probable cause"
to believe the Act has been violated; and
- Recommends to the Commission whether suit should be brought against
a respondent in Federal district court if conciliation cannot be
reached through settlement negotiations.
If a conciliation agreement cannot be reached and the Commission votes
to initiate civil litigation, it will file and prosecute a civil action
in Federal district court to address the alleged violation of the Act.
Depending on the size and complexity of the lawsuit, such cases may be
resolved promptly or may require a significant amount of resources for
several years.
In calendar year 2006, the FEC closed 315 matters, the largest number
since 2001, while the average time required to complete a case declined
by nearly one third from earlier years. Over 85 percent of the agency's
cases are now closed within 15 months, the fastest and most efficient
processing of complaints in the Commission's history.
Although swift resolution of enforcement matters is one of the
Commission's highest priorities, efficiency cannot come at the expense
of fairness to those regulated. The Commission remains focused on
providing candidates and political committees with a fair opportunity to
make appropriate presentations to the Commission in enforcement matters.
As a result, the Commission recently adopted a test program allowing
oral hearings in enforcement cases.
The continued growth in the number and amounts of campaign contributions
and disbursements, along with the increased volume in the number and
length of reports filed with the Commission, has created an increased
workload on the Commission's enforcement programs. This is especially
true in election cycles, such as 2008, where the Commission expects to
receive a high volume of complaints associated with the presidential
election. These demands are further compounded by the number of
increasingly complex schemes aimed at evading the law. Although the
Commission attempts to maximize the effectiveness of its compliance and
enforcement programs through increased use of technology and putting
into place management initiatives to better focus available resources,
it is vitally important that the agency attract and retain additional
staff with the expertise to detect and investigate such schemes.
***Other FEC Enforcement Programs***
**Administrative Fine Program (AFP)**
Based on the Commission's legislative recommendation and subsequent
Congressional mandate, the FEC implemented an Administrative Fine
Program (AFP) in July 2000. Through the AFP, the Commission addresses
the timely filing of financial disclosure reports in a more streamlined
fashion than permitted by the traditional enforcement process. Since its
inception, the AFP has closed over 1,300 cases and assessed civil
penalties totaling more than \$2.5 million for late-filed and non-filed
reports. In FY 2006, the AFP assessed fines of approximately \$200,000
and closed 89 cases.
In 2007, the Commission revised four aspects of its AFP regulations. One
change completely replaces the "extraordinary circumstances" defense
with a two-part "best efforts" defense. Another change includes the
addition of examples of circumstances that will meet the new "best
efforts" test. These revised regulations became effective April 30,
2007, however the Commission has not yet had an opportunity to handle a
sufficient number of cases under the new regulations to assess the
long-term impact on staff workload and appeal review turnaround time.
Congressional approval for the program was initially provided through
2001. Since that time, it has been extended three times with the current
extension through December 31, 2008. With the end of this extension
approaching, the Commission recommends that Congress provides another
extension to this program or make permanent the authority for the
Administrative Fine Program. By making the program permanent, Congress
would ensure that the Commission would retain one of the most
cost-effective and successful programs in its history.
**Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program**
The Commission implemented an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
program in October 2001. This program is designed to promote compliance
with the Act by encouraging settlements outside the traditional
enforcement or litigation processes. The ADR program aims to expedite
resolution of certain less complex enforcement matters and to reduce the
cost of processing complaints through streamlined procedures. This
program also promotes future compliance through settlements reflecting
primarily remedial measures for respondents, such as training, audits
and the hiring of compliance staff.
Since the inception of the ADR program, the Commission has concluded
settlements with respondents in 232 cases and closed 322 cases,
negotiating approximately \$400,000 in civil penalties. Thus far in FY
2007, the Commission has already negotiated \$55,400 in civil penalties.
Generally, all ADR cases have been closed within three months of
referral to the ADR program, thus expediting this portion of the
Commission's enforcement caseload.
Both the AFP and the ADR programs allow the Commission to expand the
reach of the enforcement process and to streamline case resolution for
less complex matters. These programs focus resources to ensure
enforcement of the Act is performed as efficiently and effectively as
possible given current resources.
**Audit Program**
The Commission also enforces the Act through audits of candidates and
political committees. In FY 2009, the Commission expects to conduct 40
to 50 "for cause" audits, under Title 2, in those cases where political
committees have failed to meet the threshold requirements for
substantial compliance with the Act and have failed voluntarily to
correct errors or omissions in their disclosure reports. In addition,
the Commission
expects to conduct six to eight mandatory audits, under Title 26, for
those presidential candidates who opt to receive presidential matching
funds in the 2008 election. The Commission's audit presence not only
contributes to the Commission's enforcement efforts but also encourages
voluntary compliance within the regulated community.
**Objective C: Development of the Law**
**Interpreting the Act**
The Commission provides formal interpretation of the Act through
promulgation of regulations and the issuance of advisory opinions (AOs).
***Regulations***
Congressional action, judicial decisions, petitions for rulemaking or
other changes in the campaign finance law often necessitate that the
Commission update or adopt new regulations. Consequently, the FEC
undertakes rulemakings to either write new Commission regulations or
revise existing regulations.
The Policy Division of OGC drafts Notices of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRMs), which once adopted by the Commission, are published in the
*Federal Register*. NPRMs are also made available on the FEC's website
and on the U.S. Government website,
[www.regulations.gov](http://www.regulations.gov/). NPRMs provide an
opportunity for members of the public and the regulated community to
review proposed regulations, submit written comments to the Commission
and testify at public hearings, which are conducted at the FEC when
appropriate. The Commission considers the public comments and testimony
and deliberates publicly regarding the adoption of the final
regulations. The text of final regulations and the corresponding
*Explanations and Justifications* (E&J), once adopted by the Commission,
are published in the *Federal Register*.
The Commission has completed revisions to its regulations to comport
with recent court decisions in the *Shays v. FEC* litigation, in which
the court remanded certain regulations to the agency for further action.
Currently, the Commission is devoting substantial resources to revisions
of its regulations as required by the recent Supreme Court decision
limiting the scope of the Act with respect to electioneering
communications in *Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to
Life.* For FY 2009, the Commission expects that rulemaking proceedings
will continue to require significant resources as a result of
anticipated changes in the Act and final judicial decisions in
challenges to the Act and to Commission regulations.
***Advisory Opinions***
The Commission responds to questions from the regulated community about
how the Act applies to specific situations by issuing AOs. When the
Commission receives a request for an AO, it generally has 60 days to
respond. For AO requests from candidates in the two months leading up to
an election, the response time for the Commission is reduced to 20 days.
Nevertheless, the Commission instituted an expedited process last year
for handling certain time-sensitive requests in even shorter timeframes.
Last year the Commission placed special emphasis on expediting the
processing and consideration of highly significant AO requests. Although
the Act allows the agency 60 days to respond to most requests, the
Commission issued some of its recent opinions within as little as two
weeks.
Although the number of AO requests that the Commission receives is
subject to cycles dependent on whether or not it is a presidential
election year, the Commission has received a steady increase in the
number of requests in comparison to analogous prior years. Additionally,
the complexity of the topics addressed in these AOs has increased
because of BCRA, which required a number of new Commission regulations,
and recent litigation. Despite this increased workload, the time that
the Commission has issued these advisory opinions has decreased markedly
due, in part, to the expedited AO program. As more requestors seek
expedited advisory opinions on close questions of law under BCRA, the
Commission anticipates these trends to continue well beyond the 2008
presidential election. In addition, the Commission anticipates
additional rulemakings and advisory opinion requests as a result of the
*Wisconsin Right to Life* decision.
**Administering the Act**
***Defending Challenges to the Act***
The Commission is the exclusive representative of the FEC before the
Federal district and circuit courts, and the Supreme Court with respect
to cases involving publicly financed presidential candidates. It also
has primary responsibility for defending the Act and Commission
regulations against court challenges. In the case recently decided by
the Supreme Court, *FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life*, the Commission
defended against an \"as applied\" challenge to the electioneering
communication provision of BCRA. In the aftermath of that decision, the
Commission is likely to defend similar challenges based on the new
standard the Court established. The Commission is also likely to develop
regulations implementing that standard, which in turn may lead to court
challenges to whatever regulatory standard the Commission adopts.
In other ongoing litigation, the Commission continues to defend its
regulations implementing BCRA. After initial litigation challenging more
than a dozen regulations led to a decision by the D.C. Circuit and
subsequent rulemaking, the case (known as *Shays III*) is again before
the district court in the District of Columbia. Likewise, the Commission
is in the process of defending its "political committee status"
rulemaking. On both these matters, a decision is expected in 2007 and
could lead to an appeal or additional rulemaking.
***Public Funding***
In addition to administering the FECA, the Commission is responsible for
administering the public funding of presidential elections, as outlined
in Title 26. Public funding of presidential elections has been an
important part of the Nation's presidential election system since 1976.
The program is funded by the \$3 income tax checkoff and
administered by the FEC. Through the public funding program, the Federal
government provides (1) matching funds to candidates seeking their
party's presidential nomination, (2) financing for presidential
nominating conventions, and (3) grants to presidential nominees for the
general election campaigns.
Under the presidential public funding program, the Commission certifies
a candidate's eligibility to participate in the program, establishes
eligibility for payments, and conducts a thorough examination and audit
of the qualified campaign expenses of every candidate who receives
payments under the program. For the 2004 presidential elections, the
Commission certified the eligibility for ten candidates and two
convention committees.
**Impact of Request for Increase**
The requested increase of \$4,673,315 will enable the Commission to keep
pace with the ever-increasing demands being placed on it by (1) changes
in the campaign finance laws and regulations, (2) improvements in
technology, (3) mandated reporting requirements; and (4) the need to
maintain a clean audit opinion and sound internal controls. This
increase will also provide for current services, adjusted for inflation.
Today's changing technological advances and growth in campaign financing
necessitate that the Commission employ additional staff with specialized
skills and abilities to investigate complex issues and apply
sophisticated legal expertise to interpret and defend the law.
Misappropriation of campaign funds continues to be a special concern,
and corruption allegations are among the most complex, sensitive and
serious matters brought before the Commission. Such allegations must be
investigated quickly, fairly, and accurately.
**Request for Additional Staffing**
The FEC's employees are its most valuable resource and sound workforce
planning and management are critical to its operations. The President's
Management Agenda requires agencies to assess their organizational
structures and develop organizational plans to streamline operations and
business processes. Even though the Commission has implemented a number
of management and organizational initiatives over the past several years
to increase the efficiency of processing enforcement matters, additional
resources are needed to address the continued growth and complexity of
finance campaign activity. This means building a human capital
infrastructure that can fulfill its mission. Without these additional
resources, the Commission's ability to maintain its current level of
responsiveness would be jeopardized. Provided below is a more specific
description of the Commission's request for \$1,431,110 in additional
funding for an increase of 12 FTEs.
***The Office of General Counsel (OGC).*** The Commission requests a
budget increase to support five additional FTE for OGC. The post-BCRA
trend of more complex factual scenarios and legal issues continues to be
presented in complaints, advisory opinion requests and litigation.
Examples of these include complaints alleging embezzlement, complex
conduit schemes, and attempts to evade the Commission's heightened
enforcement of activity by unregistered political committees.
Also, in FY 2009, the Commission projects that OGC will face a
significant increase in workload demands because of the large volume and
increased complexity of matters arising from the 2008 election cycle.
Typically, presidential election years present peak workload demands for
OGC. With an open presidential race and record-setting early fundraising
by the candidates, the Commission expects an even greater volume of
complaints and overall activity for the 2008 cycle.
During presidential election years, the Commission typically receives
the highest number of complaints over the four-year election cycle. In
each of the past two presidential election years, OGC processed over 400
complaints each cycle. In contrast, OGC receives approximately 180
complaints during non-presidential election cycles. The expected
record-level of complaints stemming from the 2008 presidential elections
will add a considerable strain on OGC's ability to prepare cases for
activation and handling by attorneys. For example, in FY 2002, it took
197 days on average to activate a case. By the midpoint of FY 2007, that
time was reduced by more than half to 89 days. If historical averages
hold, the Commission projects that it will see over 180 complaints filed
from July 2008 through December 2008. Additional FTE are required to
continue the Commission's progress in streamlining the activation
process and to maintain the overall efficiency of the Commission's
enforcement docket.
Once cases are reviewed and activated, they are assigned to attorneys
for handling, including making recommendations to the Commission about
how to proceed at various stages of the enforcement process. Over the
past several years, significant strides have been made in reducing the
time it takes to prepare recommendations at the various enforcement
stages and to complete enforcement matters. In FY 2002, it took, on
average, 730 days to close an enforcement matter. By fiscal year 2006,
the Commission reduced this number by 230 days to an average of 500
days. With additional FTE resources, OGC would be able to activate cases
even more quickly and increase the total number of cases that are active
at any one time. The Commission will also be able to close cases even
more quickly so that the regulated community has the benefit of
Commission decisions as soon as possible during an election cycle.
The increased activity in the 2008 election cycle also will have an
impact on the potential number of litigation matters. Over past cycles,
there has been a sharp increase in the number of litigation cases
handled by OGC. For example, by the middle of FY 2005, the litigation
workload increased by approximately 20 percent compared with the number
of cases being handled the previous year. OGC anticipates similar
increases for the 2008 cycle. While it is too early to know what the
exact impact of the recent *Wisconsin Right to Life* decision will be on
the litigation workload over the next several years, the Commission
expects at least a modest increase in the number and complexity of
challenges that will arise. Similarly, the Commission expects that
rulemaking proceedings, necessitated both by anticipated changes in the
Act and by final judicial decisions in challenges to the Act and to
Commission regulations, will have a significant impact on OGC\'s
workload.
The Commission also anticipates an increase in the number of advisory
opinion requests in the run-up to the presidential election,
particularly requests for expedited advisory opinions. For example, in
2002, a non-presidential election year, the Commission received a total
of 15 advisory opinion requests. In 2006, another non-presidential
election year, the number of advisory opinion requests increased to 38.
However, in 2004, a presidential election year, the Commission received
a total of 45 advisory opinion requests. Accordingly, for the 2008
presidential election year, the Commission projects that it will receive
an even greater volume than in 2004. Also, the complexity of the topics
addressed in these AOs has increased because of BCRA, such as the
Millionaires\' Amendment, which increases the permissible contribution
limits for the opponents of self-funded candidates. As more requestors
seek expedited advisory opinions on close questions of law under BCRA,
the Commission anticipates these trends to continue well beyond the 2008
presidential election. In addition, the Commission anticipates
additional rulemakings and advisory opinion requests as a result of the
Supreme Court's recent *Wisconsin Right to Life* decision.
Since early 2006, new statutes and Executive Orders have added to the
Commission's responsibilities in administering the *Freedom of
Information Act* (FOIA) and *Privacy Act*, resulting in an increase in
workload for the FEC without an accompanying increase in FTE.
Specifically, Executive Order 13392 required the Commission to:
- Appoint a Chief FOIA Officer, a role served by a senior level OGC
manager;
- Establish a FOIA Service Center for the intake and initial
processing of FOIA requests;
- Appoint a "FOIA Public Liaison," who is an official "to whom a FOIA
requester can raise concerns about the services a FOIA requester has
received from the Center;" and
- Develop a plan to ensure that agency administration of FOIA complied
with the law, and report the plan to OMB and the Attorney General.
So far during FY 2007, increasing demands have been placed on OGC as a
result of newly promulgated government-wide requirements related to the
*Privacy Act* and the *Freedom of Information Act*.
Consistent with these requirements, OGC is responsible for processing
and coordinating responses to all FOIA requests, not merely those that
present legal issues under the FOIA. Moreover, demand for Commission
services under FOIA is increasing. With two months remaining in FY 2007,
the Commission has already received 66 requests as compared to the 47
FOIA requests received in all of FY 2006.
Similarly, in the privacy area, new legislation and directives from OMB
have created new responsibilities for OGC. Specifically, Section 522 of
the *2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act*, OMB Memorandum M-05-08,
*Designation of Senior Agency Officials for Privacy*, and other
authorities impose more than a dozen new responsibilities and reporting
requirements on the Commission. The Commission anticipates that these
duties will be performed by a Chief Privacy Officer, who would be a
senior-level OGC manager.
The Office of the General Counsel has seen a large increase in demand
for its full range of services without any corresponding increase in
FTE. In part as a response to these increased demands, and in part as an
effort to improve the overall operations, OGC has instituted management
and process improvements that have resulted in handling matters as
quickly and efficiently as possible with the current level of staffing.
While there still remains room for additional improvements that may
produce further benefits, the Commission believes it has done most, if
not all, that it can to increase OGC's operational efficiency without
additional staffing.
***The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Office).*** The Alternative
Dispute Resolution Office seeks one additional FTE to address the
anticipated growth in complaints that will be handled within this
program, thereby freeing up other Commission resources for other, more
complex enforcement matters. In the last several years, the ADR program
has handled 60 to 100 cases per year, with each staff member handling 30
to 45 cases. The additional FTE will allow the ADR program to handle
between 120 to 160 cases per year. The additional FTE will also free up
resources from the existing ADR program staff to focus on ways to
further expedite case processing.
***The Office of the Inspector General (OIG).*** The Commission requests
a budget increase to support two additional FTEs in the Office of the
Inspector General. One FTE would be an investigator and the other would
be an auditor. The OIG has faced a considerable increase in workload in
the past several years without an increase in staff. For example, since
FY 2004, the OIG has been responsible for the oversight of the FEC\'s
annual financial statement audit, as required by the *Accountability of
Tax Dollars Act of 2002*, a new legislative requirement for the FEC. In
addition, the OIG has experienced a significant increase in internal
hotline complaints, some of which have resulted in criminal and
administrative investigations. The increase in reporting requirements
(e.g., FOIA, Privacy Act) places an additional burden on the OIG to
conduct internal audits (1) to ensure compliance with applicable
policies and procedures, and (2) to prevent and detect fraud, waste and
abuse in FEC operations.
***The Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program.*** The
Commission requests two additional FTEs bringing the Commission's EEO
staff to three. Staffing the EEO office at three FTE will further build
upon the Commission's support of and commitment to equal opportunity and
diversity by ensuring a strong and effective program. These resources
will enable the Commission to conduct educational programs and other
proactive measures to help prevent unlawful discrimination, to
expeditiously address all cases that do arise, and to meet all
regulatory and statutory reporting requirements to the Office of
Personnel Management and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC). In pursuit of these commitments, the Commission is also striving
to attain the status of a model EEO program, as prescribed by EEOC
guidelines under CFR 1614, in implementing Title VII, *Age
Discrimination in Employment Act*, the *Rehabilitation Act* programs,
and relevant Executive Orders and policy guidance.
# *The Office of Communications (OC).* The Commission requests a budget increase for one additional FTE in the Office of Communications. The additional FTE would enable the OC to expand its online educational initiatives, thereby reaching the segment of the regulated community that is unable to attend FEC regional conferences. For example, the Commission recently purchased software to develop new, interactive online training exercises for the regulated community. The software would allow the OC to create web-based training for the regulated community that is easy to navigate, available on demand and always up-to-date with new Commission regulations and initiatives. This new training initiative represents a fundamental change in the Commission's outreach efforts, and will provide the regulated community with 24-hour access to campaign finance training. However, at current staffing levels, development of these new exercises is often delayed by the staff's need to focus on maintaining existing services. An additional FTE would enable the Commission to move forward with this and other initiatives at an accelerated pace, providing better service to the public and the regulated community.
***The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO).*** The Commission
requests a budget increase to support one additional FTE in the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer to strengthen financial management. The
Commissioners recently restructured the role of the CFO to significantly
enhance the CFO's responsibilities and to report directly to the
Commission. The change was made to afford the Commission a higher level
of oversight of financial management throughout the agency. The
complexity and additional reporting requirements, such as the annual
financial statement audit, have increased the visibility of the
Commission's financial operations. Accordingly, the Commission believes
having the CFO directly report to the Commissioners increases the
objectivity and strengthens the internal controls surrounding financial
management.
This additional FTE would enhance the Commission's ability to properly
address the underlying internal control weaknesses that resulted in a
qualified audit opinion on the Commission's FY 2006 financial
statements. Furthermore, resources would be allocated to maintain and
update financial management policies and procedures, and provide
training to FEC staff on these policies and procedures, such as travel,
procurement, budget, and accounting matters.
The increase would ensure that the CFO will be able to perform a
higher-level review and analysis, thereby improving overall internal
controls. The additional FTE also would facilitate succession planning
to adequately prepare for the upcoming retirement of finance personnel;
thereby reducing the risk of financial and payroll transactions not
being processed timely or accurately. Finally, additional staffing also
enables the CFO to communicate more effectively with the Commission and
agency management.
**Request for Additional Technological Initiatives.**
The Commission requests a budget increase of \$1,417,205 to maintain a
secure, flexible, and modern information technology system that fully
supports the collection, analysis, and dissemination of campaign finance
information. The Commission is in the early stages of developing a
complete, integrated enterprise architecture consisting of
infrastructure and applications that serve the Commission's business
needs. To further build and implement this architecture, additional
funds are needed to increase support for applications and systems
development projects. These resources will be used to manage
enhancements, modifications, and deployments of FEC systems. These
include, but are not limited to:
- eReview (electronic review of campaign finance filings);
- Electronic document management;
- Enhancing detection and analysis capabilities of compliance data
(e.g., data mining); and
- Enabling the public to search, view, download, and comment on
Federal agency rulemaking documents in one central online system.
Consistent with the President's Management Agenda, the Commission has
begun to define requirements for an integrated financial management
system. An integrated system will provide management and technical
capabilities for an agency-wide implementation of standard systems and
processes necessary to support financial management and human resource
(HR) activities. Currently, the Commission does not have an integrated
financial management system, which was noted as an internal control
weakness in the financial statement audit. To address this weakness, the
Commission intends to outsource its financial and HR operations to an
approved line of business (LOB) provider. This will allow the FEC to
provide timely, consistent, and reliable information for leadership and
management decisions, as well as to be compliant with OMB requirements.
Furthermore, the LOB is expected to provide an accounting structure to
enable the FEC to achieve a "clean" audit opinion on its financial
statements, and to resolve several of the internal control weaknesses
identified in the Commission's past financial statement audits.
Maintaining an effective financial management system includes:
- Ensuring adequate internal controls;
- Conducting risk assessments;
- Implementing a back-up disaster recovery and continuing operations
plan; and
- Upgrading of security and systems to keep up with changes in
technology, as well as changing regulations and reporting
requirements.
The Commission understands the importance of strong internal controls.
Without additional funding, the Commission will be unable to adequately
address its internal control weaknesses to fully resolve these issues.
The FEC also continues to upgrade and enhance its website, electronic
filing and review systems, and other electronic systems, and to adapt to
changes in the law or to technological advances. The FEC plans to launch
an enhancement to the presidential Campaign Finance Map application.
This new application will focus on House and Senate candidates and allow
drill-down capabilities on money raised in 17 specific categories. There
will also be a feature that will facilitate the ability to compare
candidates who are running in the same race.
In order to address the more complex requirements of the campaign
finance process and allow for transparency, the FEC needs to build
additional tools and a supporting infrastructure to tap into the data
that is being collected from the regulated community. The four
cornerstones serving as the foundation for better tools and access to
data include:
- Integrated enterprise application architecture;
- Enterprise content management;
- Enterprise search/data mining capabilities; and
- Robust and secure enterprise infrastructure.
Several of these improvements will serve to effectively respond to the
internal control weaknesses noted in the past several audits of the
Commission's operations. These functions will also facilitate the FEC's
mission to provide the public with a transparent campaign finance system
by providing useful and accessible website enhancements, similar to the
Presidential Campaign Finance Map, which, as anticipated, has proven to
be a very popular tool for the public.
Combined with the responsibility to provide transparency in the campaign
finance process and the public's internet-driven expectation of instant
access to the very latest information, these growing demands are
projected to soon push the Commission's technology beyond its current
capabilities. Therefore, additional resources are essential for the
Commission to successfully achieve its mission and serve the public and
regulated community.

Welcome to Hot Bites from India, a weekly summary of issues of interest
to the U.S. agricultural community. The report includes information that
has been garnered during travel within India, reported in the local
media, or offered by host country officials and agricultural analysts.
Press articles are included in this report. Significant issues will be
expanded upon in subsequent reports from this office.
DISCLAIMER: Any press summary contained herein does NOT reflect USDA's,
the U.S. Embassy's, or any other U.S. government agency's point of view
or official policy.
**AUSTRALIAN WHEAT BOARD EYES WHEAT SUPPLY**
India might import approximately one million tons of wheat in 2006 to
meet supply shortages, according to a top Australian Wheat Board (AWB)
official. \"It could be a million tons, a little more or little less, in
that order of magnitude, through 2006,\" said Mr. Andrew Lindberg,
AWB\'s Managing Director. \"Historically, Australia has been very well
placed to provide supplies into this market. Our premium wheat is sought
after in this market,\" Mr. Lindberg added. (Source: Business Line,

**BE CAUTIOUS ON FARM TALKS -- OPPOSITION PARTIES**
At a meeting held by Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath with
political opposition parties, the latter asked the government to move
cautiously on agriculture in order to protect the interests of Indian
farmers. They said the sector should not be opened unless developed
countries committed themselves to cuts in their agricultural subsidies.
"There was basically a meeting of the minds, as both sides \[government
and the opposition\] agreed that India had to move carefully on
agriculture, and that the interests of farmers had to be protected," a
senior government official said. Bharatiya Janta Party (the main
opposition party) General Secretary and former Commerce and Industry
Minister Arun Jaitley said "India should tighten its shield as far as
market access is concerned, taking care not to delink it from the
question of subsidies." Commerce Minister Nath, agreeing with Jaitley's
view, assured the opposition parties that India would not concede on
agriculture unless the developed countries agreed to real and
substantial cuts in their trade distorting support. (Source: Business
standard, 12/06/05)
**PEPSI PLANS DOMESTIC ORANGE JUICE PRODUCTION**
Pepsi wants to develop the rs. 5 billion (\$110 million) Indian orange
juice (OJ) market by getting into a direct-linkage, fully-integrated
production model, which would give India its own domestically-produced
OJ. Currently, the OJ-needs of India (around 5,000 tons a year) are met
by imports from Florida and Brazil. As part of their long-term
agribusiness investment plan, which would provide the much-needed
backward linkage, Pepsi is already managing and operating the biggest
citrus nursery in the world in Punjab state, which is likely to be
followed by two large Tropicana processing facilities there. (Source:
Economic Times, 12/09/05)
**INDIAN FARM RETAIL TO GET ITS FIRST FOREIGNERS**
AWB, an international commodity trading and risk management company, is
planning to invest in a chain of shops and warehouses in rural India.
This is the first time that a multinational company has shown interest
in the Indian farm retail segment instead of the high-end urban retail.
With an initial investment of Rs. 1 billion (\$22 million), the company
is planning to supply large supermarkets with private-label foods
through contract farming. The company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary,
AWB India, which is currently focusing on agri-commodity trading and
risk management. (Source: The Economic Times, 12/07/05)
**WORLD BANK KEEN ON INDIAN FARM SECTOR**
Expecting economic growth of eight percent for FY 2005/06, the World
Bank said it wanted to fund the Indian agricultural sector and
micro-finance, but wanted the government to allow greater foreign direct
investment and remove bottlenecks that restricted the private sector's
role. The Bank's activities have shifted to urban development and
infrastructure in recent years. (Source: Business Standard, 12/06/05)

## Readout for the PIXEL detector for the Heavy Flavor Tracker upgrade at STAR
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
**Notes:**
Hi, I’m going to talk about the development that we are doing for the STAR vertex detector
## Talk Structure
- Review of Sensor development and coupled RDO development
- System design
- Detailed system structure
- Data Rates
- Ultimate sensor system discussion
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
**Notes:**
I’m going to break the talk down into a few slides each on the following topics...
## IPHC Functional Sensor Development
_**Data Processing in RDO and on chip by generation of sensor.**_
- The RDO system design evolves with the sensor generation.
- 30 x 30 μm pixels
- CMOS technology
- Full Reticule = 640 x 640 pixel array
- _Mimostar 2_ => full functionality 1/25 reticule, 1.7 ms integration time (1 frame@50 MHz clk), analog output. *(in hand and tested)*
- _All sensor families:_
- _Phase-1_ and _Ultimate_ sensors => digital output *(in development)*
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
**Notes:**
We are following a sensor development programme in collaboration with our colleagues at Strasbourg. There are two series of sensor that we follow with our mechanical and readout development. The first series is the mimostar series which we plan to use to produce a full prototype detector with analog readout. The characteristics are as shown... The ultimate series is the what we intend to use in the final detector. It has mostly the same pixel and physical characteristics as the mimostar series but with much more processing on chip such as on chip CSD, a much shorter 200 us integration time. Programmable dual discriminators and digital output via LVDS
## System Design – PIXEL Structure

- Radiation Length ~ 0.1 %
- 40 LVDS pair signal traces
- Clock, JTAG, sync, marker
- Fine twisted pair cables
- 125 micron diameter wire
- Soldered directly to cable
- Low stiffness / mass
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – LU Protection and Mass Termination
- 1 Main Board
- per carrier
- 10 carriers in
- the PIXEL
- detector
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – RDO Board(s)
- New motherboard
- Two board System – Virtex-5 Development board mated to a new HFT motherboard
- Xilinx Virtex-5 Development Board
- Digital I/O LVDS Drivers
- 4 X >80 MHz ADCs
- PMC connectors for SIU
- Cypress USB chipset

- Serial interface
- Trigger / Control input
- FF1760 Package
- 800 – 1200 I/O pins
- 4.6 – 10.4 Mb block RAM
- 550 MHz internal clock
- Note – This board is designed
- for development and testing.
- Not all features will be loaded
- for production.
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – RDO Functional Data Path – Phase 1
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – RDO Function Data Path – Ultimate
- Assumptions –
- Data sparsification with rolling shutter architecture. Output from sensor is a series of addresses – BUT – processing / readout time varies with event occupancy.
- Addition of a trigger input and a frame marker flag that strobes one frame after receipt of a trigger input. But this needs to be pipelined as well. Other simpler methods are also possible.
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – RDO Functional Data Path – Ultimate
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Detailed System Structure – System Level Functioning
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Data Rates - Parameters
- Rates as per Jim Thomas, L = 3 x 1027 for Phase-1, L = 8 x 1027 for Ultimate.
- 2.5 hits / cluster.
- 1 kHz average event rate.
- 10 inner ladders, 30 outer ladders.
- Factor of 1.6 for event format overhead (can be lowered).
- No run length encoding.
| 61.5 | 6.0 |
| --- | --- |
| 157.0 | 15.0 |
- _R = 2.5_
- _R = 8.0_
- _200 us_
- _640 us_
**Hits / Sensor at L = 8 x 10****27****.**
**Integration**
**Time**
**Radius**
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Data Rates
- Ultimate => 49.7 MB / s raw addresses.
- => **79.5 MB / s data rate**.
- Phase–1 => 59.6 MB / s raw addresses
- => **95.4 MB / s data rate.**
- The dead-time is primarily limited by the number of externally allocated readout buffers!
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Data Rates – Dead time and Latencies
- Average Ultimate inner sensor event size is 3.1 kb.
- RDO at 160MHz on 1 LVDS link / sensor takes 19.4 us (< 200 us integration time)
- What is the latency for data sparsification?
- If the system were dead during the integration time (after trigger) and one serial RDO time we would be 21.9% dead at 1 kHz.
- Look for ways to improve, earlier method is just one.
- Leo Greiner IPHC DAQ 2007-10
## Ultimate Sensor System Discussion
- The design of the Ultimate _SYSTEM_ should be an integrated design with the sensor and RDO designed to complement each other's capabilities.
- Question – is it advantageous to use the processing capabilities inherent in an FPGA based RDO system to offload some of the functionality of the sensor? Would this help the overall system design?

According to Flores and others (1997, cited in Bradley and others, 1999), sandstone grades upward from coarse- to very fine-grained in trough crossbedded sequences; siltstone is typically ripple-laminated and contains roots or burrows. Bradley and others (1999) indicated that only the lowest 700 m of the more than 3,000-m-thick Sterling Formation is exposed at the surface, consisting of siltstone, mudstone, carbonaceous shale, lignite coal, and minor volcanic ash. Triplehorn and others (1977) and Turner and others (1980) reported a number of K-Ar and fission-track age determinations from ash partings within coal beds within this unit (Table 1).

Calderwood and Fackler (1972) reported a distinctive feature of the Beluga Formation is its lack of massive sandstone beds and massive coal seams that characterize the underlying Tyonek Formation; however, lignitic to subbituminous coal seams can be as much as 4-m-thick in the upper part of the Beluga Formation. The contact between the Beluga and overlying Sterling Formation may be an unconformity (Calderwood and Fackler, 1972), but in any case can be difficult to pinpoint (Calderwood and Fackler, 1972; Turner and others, 1980). Triplehorn and others (1977) and Turner and others (1980) reported a number of K-Ar and fission-track age determinations from ash partings within coal beds in this unit ranging from 7.21.3 to 12.95.1 Ma (Table 1)","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."
600,Tty,Tyonek Formation,"Tertiary, Miocene and Oligocene","Nonmarine conglomerate and subordinate sandstone, siltstone, and coal within the map area as described by Bradley and others (1999). However, in general, the Tyonek Formation is identified by the presence of massive sandstone beds and lignitic to subbituminous coal beds as much as 9-m-thick (Calderwood and Fackler, 1972). Its contact with the overlying Beluga Formation is believed to be a disconformity where sandstone beds and coal beds become markedly thinner (Calderwood and Fackler, 1972). Plant fossils comprising the Seldovian Stage of early and late Miocene age as well as plants representing the Angoonian Stage of Oligocene age provide age control for the unit (Wolfe and Tanai, 1980)","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."
630,Th,Hemlock Conglomerate,"Tertiary, Oligocene","Sandstone, conglomerate, and siltstone assigned to this unit, as defined by Calderwood and Fackler (1972) occur only in the vicinity of Harriet Point in the Kenai quadrangle on the west side of Cook Inlet. On the basis of the description in Detterman and others (1976) these rocks are inferred to consist of fluvial conglomeratic sandstone and conglomerate containing minor interbeds of siltstone, shale, and coal. Magoon and others (1976) mapped these rocks in a unit consisting of the combined Tyonek Formation and Hemlock Conglomerate whereas Detterman and others (1976) assigned these rocks to the Hemlock Conglomerate. The Hemlock Conglomerate is lithologically transitional with the Tyonek Formation, leading to some confusion; the Hemlock Conglomerate is best known from the subsurface. Plant fossils suggest an Oligocene age; Wolfe and Tanai (1980) suggested early Oligocene and Wolfe (cited in Detterman and others, 1996) suggested late Oligocene for rocks assigned to this unit south of the map area. Wolfe and Tanai (1980) suggested the rocks at Harriett Point may be isochronous with beds considered typical of the Tyonek Formation","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."
855,Twf,West Foreland Formation,"Tertiary, Eocene and Paleocene","Exposed only on the west side of Cook Inlet, thin unit consists of tan to light-yellow-brown cobble conglomerate interbedded with lesser sandstone, laminated siltstone, and silty shale (Detterman and Hartsock, 1966). Thin coal beds are interbedded with the siltstone and shale. Detterman and Hartsock (1966) also describe a lenticular bed of ""carbonaceous ashstone breccia"" that may have been referred to as obsidian by Martin and Katz (1912). However, Detterman and Hartsock (1966) indicate that along with quartz and feldspar grains and probably glass shards, the bed also contains plant fragments and is clearly of sedimentary origin. Clasts in conglomerate are mainly rounded to sub-rounded quartz diorite, volcanic rock, argillite, sandstone, siltstone, quartzite, tuff, and coal fragments. Intrusive and volcanic rock fragments each make up about 35 percent of the clasts in conglomerate. Medium- to coarse-grained arkosic sandstone forms the matrix of the conglomerate as well as distinct lenticular beds. The siltstone and shale interbedded with conglomerate is a very fine-grained sub-arkosic equivalent of the sandstone. Originally mapped as the Kenai Formation by Detterman and Hartsock (1966); Calderwood and Fackler (1972) raised this unit to group status and subdivided it into a number of formations. The rocks here were assigned to the West Foreland Formation. The West Foreland was assigned an Oligocene age by Kirschner and Lyon (1973) and later reassigned an early Eocene and late Paleocene age by Magoon and others (1976). Recent dating of zircon from an interbedded tuff about 1-m-thick from north of the map area yielded a 43-Ma-age (middle Eocene) (P.J. Haeussler and D.W. Bradley, USGS, oral commun., 2005). The West Foreland Formation was removed from the Kenai Group because it was separated by a major unconformity from the overlying Hemlock Conglomerate (Magoon and Egbert, 1986). Lower contact of these rocks was described by Detterman and Hartsock (1966) as an angular unconformity with the Upper Jurassic Naknek Formation; subsequent work by Magoon and others (1980) showed there to be a nonmarine Upper Cretaceous sedimentary unit between the rocks of the West Foreland and Naknek Formations.

Kelley (1980) divided the unit into three members on the basis of rock type, modal composition, and depositional texture. His stratigraphically lowest member, the Dangerous member, consists of volcaniclastic breccia, conglomerate, and sandstone and is in depositional contact with his informal Port Graham formation (^pg herein). Locally tuffaceous dark-gray sedimentary rocks in the Dangerous member make it hard to distinguish from the Port Graham formation. The July member consists of dacitic pyroclastic rocks, tuffaceous sandstone, granule conglomerate, and mudstone. Kelley (1980) indicated that the high quartz content and abundance of glassy debris help to distinguish this unit from other parts of his Pogibshi formation. The uppermost member, the Naskowhak, consists of greenish-gray tuffaceous mudstone and siltstone, and tuff. Locally, the basal part of the Naskowhak member includes laterally extensive coal-bearing units. The presence of these coal-bearing units helps to distinguish the Pogibshi formation of Kelley (1980) from the otherwise lithologically similar Talkeetna Formation on the west side of Cook Inlet. The Pogibshi formation of Kelley (1980) is reportedly intruded by the tonalite of Dogfish Bay (^dt) and possibly by the diorite of Point Bede (^dt); if so the recently determined Triassic age on the diorite (D.C. Bradley, oral commun., 2007) may indicate that the Pogibshi is, in part, significantly older than the Talkeetna Formation. Martin (1915) and Martin (1926) reported a diverse Lower Jurassic fauna along the coast southwest of Seldovia. Bradley and others (1999) erroneously attributed these Jurassic collections by Martin (1915) to the Port Graham formation of Kelley (1980); however, those collections were from localities within the outcrop area Bradley and others (1999) assigned to the Talkeetna Formation, which we reassign back to the Pogibshi formation of Kelley (1980). Fossils noted in the two Martin reports (1915; 1926) included several species of scleractinian corals, numerous bivalves (mostly pectinaceans), gastropods, and ammonites. A brief visit by R.B. Blodgett (written commun., 2007) to a section of early Sinemurian age exposed about 3 km west of Seldovia showed it to contain numerous pectinacean bivalves, gastropods, and several species of scleractinian corals. The bivalves were found both as articulated and disarticulated specimens, and most appear to belong to the genus Weyla, an Early Jurassic index fossil found primarily along the western coast of North and South America. Lower Jurassic ammonites from these same rocks were discussed and, in part, illustrated in Imlay (1981), who recognized both Sinemurian and Hettangian fossil assemblages. A fossil determination by A.K. Armstrong of a collection made by J.S. Kelley yielded poorly preserved Permian corals (sample 75JK-151B, www.alaskafossil.org).

4019,Trpg,Port Graham formation of Kelley (1980),Upper Triassic; Norian,"Dominantly dark-gray, carbonaceous limestone and silty limestone containing varying amounts of silica cement (Kelley, 1980). Fine-grained, dark-gray siliceous to limy mudstone, silty sandstone, and dark-gray to dark-olive-gray, thin- to medium-bedded chert having mudstone partings are also common lithologies according to Kelley (1980). Limy beds tend to be most common in the lower (middle Norian) part of the unit (R.B. Blodgett, written commun., 2007 and unpublished data of Humble Oil Company [now Exxon-Mobil] reported by R.B. Blodgett); whereas the upper part (of late Norian age) is composed of considerably more volcaniclastic fragment-rich and shaly beds. The volcaniclastic fragment-rich beds contain a diverse, but uncommon molluscan fauna consisting of both bivalves and gastropods, while the shaly beds tend to have a monotaxic fauna of monotid bivalves. Fossils are locally abundant, as reported by Kelley (1980) these are mostly thin-shelled mollusks, but also include corals, echinoids, ammonites, and trace fossils. Martin and others (1915) and Martin (1926) reported the bivalves Halobia cf. H. superba Mojsisovics, Pseudomonotis subcircularis Gabb (this species is now referred in the genus Monotis), Nucula?, as well as the coral Astrocoenia? sp. The Halobia cf. H. superba was suggested by Martin to possibly indicate a Carnian age (this species was later re-identified as belonging to middle Norian age species of Halobia by Silberling and others, 1997), while the Monotis subcircularis was noted to indicate a late Norian age. Silberling and others (1997) provided a detailed analysis of the known Late Triassic bivalve fauna known from the Port Graham area and reported that the middle Norian age Halobia lineata and H. dilitata were found in collections reported by Martin (1915; USGS Mesozoic localities 6380 and 6382, respectively). Two different species of Late Triassic Monotis were reported from these rocks by Silberling and others (1997): Monotis (Pacimonotis) subcircularis and Monotis (Monotis) alaskana, as well as the late middle Norian ammonite Steinmannites. Kelley (1984) and Bradley and others (1999) assigned an upper age limit of Early Jurassic to this unit, although no fossils of this age are found in this unit.

Detterman and Hartsock (1966) mapped ""metalimestone"", argillite, quartzite, metatuff, greenstone, and phyllite from this unit. Detterman and Reed (1980) described the unit as largely consisting of roof pendants within the Alaska-Aleutian Range batholith and believed that the Kakhonak Complex represents, in part, the metamorphic equivalent of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic rocks, the Kamishak and Talkeetna Formations, of the vicinity. However, quartzite and quartz-mica schist occurring within the Kakhonak Complex have no direct equivalent within the sedimentary rocks of the vicinity, indicating other protoliths may have contributed to the complex. As Permian rocks were known from Puale Bay, south of the map area, a possible Paleozoic age was not excluded by Detterman and Reed (1980). Internal contacts are typically faults, resulting in a tectonic mix of lithologies.

4310,Trdt,Quartz diorite and tonalite,Late Triassic,"In the Seldovia quadrangle, this unit includes the diorite of Point Bede and the tonalite of Dogfish Bay of Bradley and others (1999), both on the east side of Cook Inlet. The diorite of Point Bede of Bradley and others (1999) is fine- to medium-grained nonfoliated quartz diorite that Bradley and others (1999) assumed to be of Jurassic age based on correlation with a quartz diorite pluton in the Barren Islands, just south of the Seldovia quadrangle that yielded a K-Ar hornblende age of 1911.3 Ma (Cowan and Boss, 1978, age recalculated using constants of Steiger and Jager, 1977). However, a Triassic age was recently determined on zircon from the diorite (D.C. Bradley, oral commun., 2007). The tonalite of Dogfish Bay of Bradley and others (1999) is medium-grained nonfoliated tonalite which shows chloritic alteration similar to that found in the diorite of Point Bede and hence was assigned a Jurassic age by Bradley and others (1999); we have shown the diorite and tonalite as a single map unit to which we have assigned a Triassic age. Bradley and others (1999) also mapped a light-gray, fine-grained to aphanitic felsite body south of the tonalite of Dogfish Bay. This felsite is undated and is tentatively assigned a Triassic age due to its proximity and similar setting to the tonalite and diorite of this map unit. Bradley and others (1999) suggested the felsite could be early Tertiary in age; however, no other rocks of Tertiary age are reported in this vicinity. Kelley (1980, 1984) mapped an intrusive contact between the diorite and his informal Pogibshi formation (Jp); however, the newly determined Triassic zircon date from the diorite and the Jurassic fossils from the Pogibshi indicate that there is some error in interpretation of the available data. Possible scenarios include an incorrectly mapped contact, a wider range of age for the Pogibshi formation of Kelley (1980), or inheritance in the zircon","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."

565,QTy,Yakataga Formation,"Quaternary, Pleistocene to Tertiary, Miocene","""Consists of diverse marine and glaciomarine clastic rocks more than 1,670-m-thick on Kayak and Wingham Island and at least an additional 1,200-m-thick on Middleton Island (Plafker and Addicott, 1976). Much of the continental shelf between Middleton Island and Kayak Island also is underlain by the Yakataga [Formation] (Plafker and others, 1975b). Interbedded gray to dark-gray and greenish-gray siltstone, mudstone, and sandstone predominate in lower third of formation. Till-like diamictite is interbedded with siltstone and sandstone in all but the lowest part of the formation and is the dominant rock type in the upper part of the formation, particularly on Middleton Island. Conglomerate is a minor lithology throughout the formation and scattered clasts-presumably dropstones-are present in all lithologies. Sandstone and conglomerate combined constitute about 10 percent of the section on Kayak Island and about 12 percent on Middleton Island"" (Winkler and Plafker, 1993). In most exposures the Yakataga Formation is conformable and gradational to the underlying Poul Creek Formation but in some areas there is an angular unconformity of up to 15 degrees (Plafker and Addicott, 1976). Age control derived from abundant mollusks and foraminifers, although most are identical to living species (Winkler and Plafker, 1981; Plafker and Addicott, 1976). Foraminifera are typical of the lower or middle Miocene Saucesian or Relizian Stages of Washington (Rau and others, 1977). Paleomagnetic and biostratigraphic dating indicate the upper part of the formation on Middleton Island was deposited during the Matuyama reversed polarity epoch (Plafker and Addicott, 1976)","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."
675,Tr,Redwood Formation,"Tertiary, Pliocene to Oligocene?","Marine mudstone, siltstone, sandstone, and conglomerate (Winkler and Plafker, 1981).

Upper Puffy Member is more diverse and consists of about 50 percent siltstone, mudstone, and claystone, 30 percent conglomeratic mudstone and conglomerate, and 20 percent sandstone. Characteristic conglomeratic beds show complete gradation from coarse-grained, clast-supported conglomerate to matrix-supported conglomeratic mudstone and sandstone where coarse-grained clasts are suspended in the matrix. Siltstone, mudstone, and claystone are similar in appearance to parts of the underlying Poul Creek Formation but contain few or no concretions, no glauconitic or volcanic beds, and are sandier and more resistant to erosion"" (Winkler and Plafker, 1993). ""The fauna and lithology of the Redwood Formation indicate deposition below wave base in cold water at depth from neritic to probably bathyal. The well rounded character of clasts in the conglomerate indicates that the coarser clastic material was thoroughly abraded before being resedimented in the marine environment. The sparse and poorly preserved molluscan fauna from the formation suggests a correlation with the upper Galavinian (""Lincoln"") and Matlockian (""Blakeley"") Stages of the Pacific Northwest, or a range in age from late Eocene through Oligocene (Addicott and others, 1978).

Winkler and Plafker (1981) described these rocks as coarse-grained and diabasic in the plugs west of the Nichawak Hills and fine-grained and glassy elsewhere. The two plugs immediately west of the Nichawak Hills are diabasic, containing 45 percent euhedral plagioclase intergrown with 30 percent anhedral augite and enstatite, 5 percent opaque minerals and 20 percent secondary chlorite. An isolated plug east of Ragged Mountain is nepheline syenite. Lithologic associations and cross-cutting relationships suggest an Oligocene age; nowhere do they intrude rocks younger than the upper part of the Poul Creek Formation (Winkler and Plafker, 1981).

Also includes the Cedar Bay granite of Tysdal and Case (1979), a light-gray and pink medium- and coarse-grained muscovite (biotite) granite; plagioclase ranges from oligoclase to andesine in composition, and biotite is commonly less than 1 percent. Hypidiomorphic-granular texture is most common, but equigranular as well as porphyritic varieties also exist. Primary biotite is the most abundant mafic mineral and is sometimes accompanied by hornblende. Towards the pluton margins, however, hornblende commonly dominates over biotite (Nelson and others, 1985).

In the Knight Island area, felsic plagioclase-quartz dikes occur locally and plagioclase-clinopyroxene-olivine dikes are present but not common (Tysdal and Case, 1979). On the Resurrection Peninsula, olivine is present in a few dikes (Tysdal and Case, 1979). The dikes are commonly 1- to 2-m-thick, vertical or nearly so, and generally strike north (Tysdal and others, 1977; Tysdal and Case, 1979). The dikes contain greenschist facies mineral assemblages ascribed to ocean-floor metamorphism by Bradley and Miller (2006); according to Tysdal and Case (1979), plagioclase replaced by albite, clinopyroxene by hornblende and actinolite, and olivine partly altered to serpentine. The dikes crosscut one another, intrude the adjacent pillow basalt (map unit Top), and on Knight Island, locally intrude sedimentary rocks of the Orca Group (Tysdal and others, 1977). Double- and single-sided chilled margins were observed on the dikes, indicating a spreading center setting (Bradley and Miller, 2006; Tysdal and Case, 1979). Pillow basalt screens are common in the up to 2000 m wide transition zone between the pillow basalt and sheeted dike units (Top and Tod) (Tysdal and others, 1977; Tysdal and Case, 1979; Miller, 1984; and Bradley and Miller, 2006). Xenoliths of gabbro and peridotite are present locally on Knight Island (Richter, 1965; Nelson and others, 1985). Small irregular pods, veins, and dikes of plagiogranite are also present in the dike complex north of Bay of Isles on Knight Island (Nelson and others, 1985). The dikes are intruded by and also intrude the gabbro in the transition zone between the gabbro and sheeted dike units (Togb and Tod) (Tysdal and Case, 1979; Tysdal and others, 1977). The dikes make up the topographically high and rugged cores of the Resurrection Peninsula, Knight Island, and Glacier Island (Tysdal and others, 1977).

Several small intrusive bodies of gabbro occur on Knight Island, the largest of which crops out east of Drier Bay, where it intrudes sheeted dikes (Nelson and others, 1985). Other gabbro bodies are too small to show at the scale of this map, but most are elongate parallel to the trend of the sheeted dikes.

Dikes and plugs of fine- to medium-grained plagiogranite are also present (Miller, 1984; Bradley and Miller, 2006), the largest of which crop out northwest of the head of Drier Bay on Knight Island and south side of Killer Bay on the Resurrection Peninsula (Tysdal and Case, 1979; Miller, 1984). The gabbro grades into the sheeted dike map unit (Tod herein) and is generally elongate and parallel to the sheeted dikes, but it also crosscuts the dikes locally (Tysdal and Case, 1979; Miller, 1984). Tysdal and Case (1979) state that on the Resurrection Peninsula, ""The gabbro intrudes slate and sandstone of the Valdez Group, crosscuts the bedding, and forms aphanitic sills in other places. A blue-gray and whitish thermal aureole, at least 200 m wide, marks the contact zone with the sedimentary rocks."" Nelson and others (1985) and Bradley and Miller (2006) instead interpreted the contacts between the gabbro and Valdez metasedimentary rocks on the Resurrection Peninsula as faults. On Knight Island, the gabbro intrudes rocks of the Orca Group. Nelson and others (1989) reported a 57 Ma U-Pb zircon age on a plagiogranite intruding the gabbro on the Resurrection Peninsula","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."

""In most places enough relict texture and mineralogy remains to recognize original clinopyroxenite, dunite, and harzburgite"" (Miller, 1984). Unit occurs as small pods in gabbro and fault-bounded slices within Valdez Group metasedimentary rocks (Miller, 1984; Nelson and others, 1985). On Knight Island, xenoliths of peridotite in sheeted dikes were observed by Richter (1965) but not by subsequent workers (Tysdal and Case, 1979; Nelson and others (1985). However, Nelson and others (1985) mapped three peridotite bodies, including two that lie within or near a shear zone in the sheeted dikes unit (Tod) and the other body occurs as a xenolith in sheeted dikes unit. These ultramafic rocks weather orange brown in color and form subdued rubble outcrops","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."
1380,Tmu,Mafic and ultramafic plutonic rocks,"Tertiary, Eocene and Paleocene?","""Compositionally and texturally variable unit consists mainly of clinopyroxene gabbro, two-pyroxene gabbro, and local diabase, hornblende gabbro, peridotite, and orthopyroxenite. Gabbro commonly is medium-grained and equigranular and is slightly to moderately foliated except near contacts with country rocks where it locally is strongly foliated or mylonitic"" (Winkler and Plafker, 1993). Also in the Cordova quadrangle, near the head of Port Fidalgo Nelson and others (1985) mapped a small area of both banded and massive dark- to light-green serpentinized dunite and peridotite. There, blocks of serpentinite and serpentinized peridotite crop out within the metasedimentary rocks unit of the Valdez Group (Kvs). Their strongly shared margins suggest that these rocks have been tectonically emplaced (Nelson and others, 1985). Within country rocks of the Orca Group, these intrusions commonly have well-developed thermal aureoles and where they intrude sedimentary rocks have prominent zones of iron-staining (Winkler and Plafker, 1993). Winkler and Plafker (1993) considered the age of the unit as uncertain; two hornblende K-Ar ages of 64.52.1 and 48.51.5 Ma were reported on the unit; the older of the two was considered suspect because it is older than the Orca Group, which the mafic rocks intrude","Wilson, F.H., and Hults, C.P., in press, Geology of the Prince William Sound and Kenai Peninsula region, Alaska; Including the Kenai, Seldovia, Seward, Blying Sound, Cordova, and Middleton Island 1:250,000-scale quadrangles: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Map, SIM-????, scale 1:350,000, 2 sheets, pamphlet,89 ms. pages."

A basaltic-andesite dike intruding McHugh Complex yielded an 40Ar-39Ar hornblende plateau age of 1152 Ma, whereas an intermediate composition dike yielded an 40Ar-39Ar isochron(?) age of 57.00.22 Ma (W.

Lytwyn and others (2000) described a suite of dikes ranging in composition from basalt to rhyolite that they associated with the near-trench intrusions commonly related to the subduction of the Kula-Farallon spreading center. A 40Ar-39Ar plateau amphibole age on andesite from this suite of dikes yielded an age of 58.640.52 Ma. Lytwyn and others (2000) considered the dikes they studied to represent the same system as the plutons we have included in map unit Tgh here.

- US Department of Transportation
- January 2008
## What VII will Enable .... Safety
**Imagine**:
- Your vehicle knows the speed and location of approaching vehicles
- Your vehicle can “see” vehicles you can’t see
- Your vehicle knows roadway conditions that you can’t see
## What VII will Enable..... Mobility
**Imagine**:
- You had traffic information on all your potential routes and modes of travel
- You could compare different routes and modes of travel based on traffic speed
- Your navigation unit could reroute you when an accident occurs during travel
## What VII will Enable .... Consumer Services
**Imagine**:
- You can quickly download movies and other high content material into your vehicle
- You can find and reserve available parking spaces before you arrive
- You can pay for tolls, parking, and your morning cup of coffee automatically from within your vehicle
- Your vehicle can tell you when it needs servicing and direct you to a service station

***Imagine:***
- Managing your system if you knew real-time travel speeds and densities, braking activities, and roadway temperatures for all major facilities
- Planning for growth when you know complete traffic patterns around development
- Having the information needed to measure and track system performance
## VII Concept
**VII Concept**
**Probe Data**
**Situation Relevant Information**
**Notes:**
VII Addresses Two Fundamental interests of Transportation Managers:
Ability to collect accurate, real-time, and comprehensive information on roadway conditions throughout the transportation network
Ability to deliver situation relevant messages about roadway conditions directly to drivers at the right place and time so that they can use this information to avoid incidents, select alternative routes, and better manage their travel plans
Safety Services:
Signal and stop sign violation
Curve speed warning
E-Payment Services for POC:
Tolling, Parking, Gas
Vehicle to vehicle:
Emergency electronic brake lights
Blind spot warning
## USDOT’s Research and Demonstration Program
## A Change in Strategy
- Previous approach
- Deployment decision by OEMs, US DOT, state transportations agencies in 2010 with synchronized deployments beginning around 2012
- Key technology for vehicle to infrastructure communications was Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)
- Expectation that the infrastructure build out could be substantially funded by the Federal government
- Current approach
- Open up the architecture to allow for non-DSRC technology
- Work with aftermarket suppliers to enable VII capabilities sooner
- Demonstrate a subset of capabilities that VII can provide in a few, high concentration operational test sites
- Support growth in geographic coverage and functionality over time
- Leverage new technologies and private industry developments
- Learn from related state and university research
## Program Goals and Objectives
- Goals
- Nationwide system
- Enable the full range of safety, mobility, and commercial applications
- Adaptable to technology evolution
- Objectives:
- Near term – to demonstrate current capability and provide for more rapid deployment of VII applications
- Mid term – to expand both the system functionality and geographic coverage of the system
- Long term – to enhance system performance
## Multi-Phased Approach
- Phase 1 – Field operational test site(s) established to demonstrate and test what can be done today
- Phase 2 – Applied research and development activities to support the longer term needs of the program in areas of technology, policy, and public agency applications
- Phase 3 – Monitoring and assessing new technologies that can enhance system performance
## Phase 1: SAFE TRIP-21Safe and Efficient Travel Through Innovation and Partnerships
- Develop field test bed(s) to:
**Accelerate availability of travel information** and services to provide users with greater situational awareness of safety hazards, congestion bottlenecks, and route and modal choices
**Evaluate impacts, value of integrated infrastructure** for travelers and commercial operators, and market readiness of near-term applications, including but not limited to those using DSRC
**Leverage other U.S. DOT activities** such as the Urban Partnership Agreements, the Corridors of the Future Sites, and others.
**Leverage existing systems and capabilities** (i.e., 511, Highway Advisory radio, vehicle-based collision warning technologies, traffic reporting services, etc., and state, local, university, and industry research )
## Phase 1: SAFE TRIP-21 (2007 – 2008)
- Key Dates and Milestones
- Request for Information (RFI) released December 18, 2007
- Information requested on partnering for Phase 1 test site development
- Information requested on test site characteristics, applications and their readiness, innovative technologies
- RFI responses expected by January 11, 2008
- Site(s) operational and evaluation to begin December 1, 2008
- Interim findings will be transitioned toward mid- and longer-term ongoing research in VII Phases 2 and 3
- SAFE TRIP-21 Final Report in January 2010 (Interim reports in 09)
## Phase 2 – Enable a Phased Nationwide Deployment
- Fund applied research and development activities:
- In the areas of enabling technologies, public applications, and institutional issues
- To support a phased, nationwide deployment of VII capabilities between 2008 and 2015
- Key Objectives:
**Assess and demonstrate capabilities** of various technical solutions
**Identify phased roll-out strategies** to support rapid deployment of near-term capabilities and enable the long term vision
**Analyze alternative business models** and governance structures
**Develop technical and policy solutions** to address security, privacy, liability and other institutional issues
**Develop key applications** for the public sector
**Leverage results of operational tests** **and state and university research** to improve and refine research and deployment approaches
## VII National System Network Build Up
## Phase 2 – Enable a Phased Nationwide DeploymentProof of Concept (POC) Testing – MI and CA
- Testing of public, private, and e-commerce applications
- Testing to be completed in March with results published in June 2008
- Validate the vehicle to roadside and vehicle to vehicle capabilities in a multi-application environment
- Demonstrate that VII technical approach ensures anonymity, privacy, and security
- The Michigan POC test includes:
- 25 vehicles, 57 intersection and freeway locations near Detroit approximately 47 square miles of coverage
- Vehicle based communications is DSRC for both V2I and V2V
- Backhaul communications is a combination of 3G, WiMax, and Mesh
- Scheduled to operate through June ’08
- Currently preparing an RFI to solicit input and expressions of interest in:
- Using the test bed by other private and public sector entities and

## Distribution of dust traps in southern Nevada and California, 1984-present
**Distribution of dust traps in southern Nevada and California, 1984-present**
**Genesis of desert soils**
**Dust storms & climate**
**Dust sources**
**High dust flux follows periods of drought AND high precipitation**
**Salt- & carb.-rich dust from playas**
**Silt & clay from alluvial settings**
**Owens (dry) Lake dust – **
**high in As, Zn, Sb, Pb, Li**
**Human activities—agriculture, military, urbanization, recreation**
**Flux range: 0.5-10 g/m****2****/yr**
- Conclusions from early work:
## ENSO-dust relations & variations, central Mojave
**Dust flux (4 sites) and dust-storm frequency at Barstow correlate positively with years following both strong La Nina (dry) and El Nino (wet) years**
**Dust Flux**
**Previous year’s**
**ENSO anomaly**
**Dust events are diminished under milder ENSO conditions**
**ENSO-dust relations & variations, central Mojave**

**Dust storm frequency**
## Dust increases with drought at sites with alluvial sources and some with playa sources

## Wet playas produce dust when recently wetted!
## Winter precip in previous year suppresses dust
## Problems and future work
- Many dust traps not adjacent to playas so sources may be mixed. Need more?
- 2-year collection interval difficult to interpret
- New seasonal (winter vs. summer) data coming
- Quantifying source strength relative to area; salts seem to increase everywhere in wet years, but may be distributed from wet playas
- Where do the salts go? Global circulation?
- Groundwater pumping may affect response

## Southeast Alaska Mining Districts
**Notes:**
The focus of this presentation is to describe the work that is being done to characterize VMS mineralization from Admiralty Island southwest of Juneau south to Prince of Wales Island, the latter found within the Ketchikan mining district in southeast Alaska.
## Index Map: Southeast Alaska
- The driving forces behind all this work are the forced cutbacks in logging permits, and the search for a new Greens Creek-type deposit as a local economic alternative to logging
- Areas with potential for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits are the targets of the airborne geophysics.
**Index Map: Southeast Alaska**
**Notes:**
Work began in 1995 on Admiralty Island, then progressed south with an airborne Mag and EM survey (flown in 1996) to the Duncan-Zarembo area, and is now focused on following up a 1999 airborne Mag/EM survey on Prince of Wales Island.

**Notes:**
This is Bruce Smith measuring the magnetic field on a profile that passes the Frenchie deposit on Woewodski Island. The devise is a proton-precession (total field) magnetometer. The “Jacob Staff “he holds in his left hand is designed to maintain the sensor (the white can on the end of the staff) a measured distance away from the ground and from the operator; this is done in order to minimize noise.

## Principles of EM, and How We Obtained Resistivities
**Principles of EM, and How We Obtained Resistivities**
**Notes:**
Before we continue it is appropriate to briefly explain the basic characteristics of a Helicopter Electromagnetic (HEM) survey. A Helicopter EM survey of course requires a helicopter. The EM transmitter and receiver are connected onto the helicopter by means of a long cable. Note the position of the Mag Bird and EM bird. Suspending the birds away from the helicopter helps reduce noise and gets the measuring devices closer to the ground. The length of the cable is approximately 100 ft (30 meters).
The EM bird contains a number of tuned coils in transmitter/receiver pairs. These coils can be configured in a coplanar or coaxial orientation. The coplanar configuration is most sensitive to flat lying conductors like a saline water-body, while the coaxial configuration responds best to vertically oriented conductors such as vertically-dipping massive sulfide bodies.
The EM system works by means of EM induction, that is, a strong alternating magnetic field is set up by the transmitter coil. If there is a conductor nearby, eddy currents will be set up in it by the AC magnetic field, and the receiver coil will pick up the secondary field caused by these induced eddy currents.
By measuring both in-phase and out-of-phase (quadrature) components of the secondary signal, information can be gleaned about the geometry and conductivity of buried conductor.
Taking this information one step further we can calculate a Conductivity Depth Image (CDI) that resembles a “geologic” section. We do this by realizing that the 56,000 Hz signal will penetrate rather shallowly vis-à-vis the 900 Hz signal, and plot the solutions closer to the surface accordingly.
## Zarembo Island: 7200 Hz Airborne EM Resistivity map
**We also utilized airborne geophysical data acquired by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources**
**Notes:**
This map shows the calculated resistivities for the mid-level-depth 7,200Hz frequency of the Helicopter-borne EM system for Zarembo Island.
## Zarembo Island: Airborne Magnetic Data
**Notes:**
This is a map of the helicopter-borne magnetic data for Zarembo Island.
## ...and we acquired mag and VLF-EM resistivity profiles wherever we had reasonable exposure that the team geologists could confidently map. The following example profile is from southeastern Zarembo Island
**Map of Zarembo Island**
**Notes:**
...and we acquired mag and VLF-EM resistivity profiles wherever we had reasonable exposure that the team geologists could confidently map. The above example profile is from southeastern Zarembo Island.
## ...where we combined geologic mapping with ground geophysical profiles:
**Notes:**
This is an example, taken from Zarembo Island, of a geologic-geophysical profile. Resistivities are shown in red, magnetic values in blue, and the inferred geologic cross-section (based on observed geology and the geophysics together) is shown below the geophysical profile.
## From the geologic-ground-geophysics profiles we developed these geophysical signature tables
- From the geologic-ground-geophysics profiles we developed these geophysical signature tables
- ...note how these forced us to subdivide the Cannery (PMc) unit into two different units, PMc1 and PMc2
- ...note also the resemblance in geophysical signatures between PMc2 and Trha. This is causing us to reconsider the assignment of these map units.
**Notes:**
From careful selection of known geology we set up a number of ground geophysics profiles to adequately sample the main geologic units in the Duncan-Zarembo area that we were interested in. When we analyzed the results we got these tables of geology-vs-resistivity, geology-vs-magnetic susceptibility, and geology vs-magnetic variability, a rough classification of magnetic wavelength observed in the given geologic unit. These three taken together allow us to discriminate the key geologic units in the Duncan-Zarembo area, and even force us to reconsider the Cannery (PMc) unit as possibly two separate geologic units (note the similarity of PMc2 with the Trha unit). In this latter case, the difference may be due to a different depositional environment or may be due to a different degree of metamorphism in two different areas.
## From these we developed Predictive Geophysical Models from the airborne geophysical data for specific geologic units that we felt we could separate out with confidence...
- From these we developed Predictive Geophysical Models from the airborne geophysical data for specific geologic units that we felt we could separate out with confidence...
- Here we have the PGM for Triassic argillite, (Trha), one of the units known to host VMS deposits on Admiralty Island to the north.
**Notes:**
We can develop Predictive Geophysical Models from these assumptions about magnetic susceptibility and resistivity for given geologic units. Using this supervised classification scheme, we can develop a sort of “pseudo-geology”map that the geologists can field-check. This map is a PGM for Triassic rocks in the Duncan-Canal-Zarembo Islands area.
## Trhv: Triassic Hyd Volcanic Breccia
**Notes:**
This is an example of Triassic volcanic breccia (photo by Sue Karl), a sub-unit of the Hyd Group in the Little Duncan Canal area of Kupreanof Island. The Hyd Group is the rock unit that hosts the Greens Creek VMS deposit on Admiralty Island.
## We also used Euler Deconvolution on the airborne magnetic data to develop depth-to-source information. Since Euler Deconvolution calculates these depths at magnetic gradient points, we have an additional defacto set of information on buried structures. Note some of the dipping solutions (most dipping south or SSW).
**Euler Deconvolution, calculated on the airborne mag, superimposed on the shaded-relief digital topo of Zarembo Island**
**Notes:**
We also used Euler Deconvolution on the airborne magnetic data to develop depth-to-source information. This is a method uses least-squared inversion of the data (in this case magnetic data) to fit simple bodies such as spheres, steps, and cylinders to the observed signal. Since Euler Deconvolution calculates these depths at magnetic gradient points, we have an additional defacto set of information on buried structures. Note some of the dipping solutions (most dipping south or SSW).
## The team effort worked extremely well in Duncan-Zarembo. Geologists were learning geophysics, and geophysicists were learning geology. By closely cooperating on the evolutionary steps in the analysis of the geophysical data, and tying it iteratively to the evolving geologic map, we were able to combine the geologic mapping with the Predictive Geophysical Models and the Euler Deconvolution structural geology information into a new geologic map of the Duncan-Zarembo mining district...
**Notes:**
How the team-effort worked... almost purely electronically.
## The Revised Geologic Map, Duncan-Zarembo Area: the area underlain by Triassic rocks has increased by ~30% with this map.
**The Revised Geologic Map, Duncan-Zarembo ****Area****: *****the area underlain by Triassic rocks has increased by ~30% with this map.***
**Notes:**
This is the revised geologic map of the Duncan Canal-Zarembo Island area, by Karl, Haeussler, and McCafferty. This map has far more detail than the original reconnaissance geologic map because it had heavy geophysical input. A side-benefit of the effort was to increase the area underlain by Triassic rocks by over 30%-- these are the rocks known to host Greens Creek – type VMS deposits.
## Why is geophysics so important here?
**Why is geophysics so important here?**
**For one thing, geologists can’t work very efficiently in “blueberry chainlink”... and most of southeastern Alaska is covered with water, mud-flats, or dense vegetation like this.**
**Notes:**
‘Why is geophysics so important? Because 95% of the terrain in SE Alaska is covered with water, mud-flats, or dense vegetation such as this “Blueberry Chainlink”.
## Red dots: sampling locations
- **Red dots: sampling locations**
**Notes:**
This base map shows the location of the major VMS (?) occurrences that were visited during this past summers field work. The small red dots show the locations of physical property measurements and/or rock samples. Nearly 500 sites were occupied in two weeks. Note the location of the towns of Ketchikan and Hydaburg; Craig is to the northwest off the map.
## HEM Flight Lines on Shaded Topography
**Notes:**
A helicopter electromagnetic and magnetic (HEM) survey was flown in 1999 over areas of Prince of Wales Island (POW) selected to cover significant volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) style occurrences. Local villages, Ketchikan Gateway Borough, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) provided funding for this work. Previously proprietary HEM surveys donated by Sealaska Native Corporation provide additional coverage. These data were compiled and released in August, 1999 by the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS).
The newer surveys are shown in black, grey, magenta, blue and yellow. The older surveys are depicted in green, coral and cyan.
The nominal line spacing for the newer surveys was approximately 400 meters (1/4 mile).
The older surveys were flown at both 400 meter (1/4 mile) and 200 meters (1/8 mile).
Nominal, coplanar frequencies of 900, 7200 and 56,000 Hz were collected. Coaxial frequencies of 900 and 7200 Hz were also sometimes collected.
Approximately 7,600 line km (4,700 line miles) were covered on the combined surveys.
## Total Magnetic Intensity on Shaded Topography
**Total Magnetic Intensity on Shaded Topography**
**Notes:**
The Total Magnetic Intensity field is imaged on this slide. The areas of high magnetic intensity are generally associated with plutons. The subdued magnetic response (blue and green) is associated with sedimentary rocks, some volcaniclastics, and greenstone. The characterization of these units will be discussed later. Note however that sample locations (the red dots) have covered wide areas of varying magnetic signature.
## 7200 Hz Apparent Resistivity on Shaded Topography
**7200 Hz Apparent Resistivity on Shaded Topography**
**Notes:**
This image shows apparent resistivity derived from the 7200 Hz HEM data. The deep blue and red areas are electrically conductive (low resistivity) and the light green to white areas are electrically resistive (high resistivity). Note the deep blue at the water margins: this is a typical response to the highly conductive seawater. Note also, however, certain conductors northwest of Niblack – these are NOT caused by seawater, but by something buried that is highly conductive. Massive sulfides? Altered rock?
Note the conductive sea water. Also note the broad areas in the northwest portion of the survey that are more conductive. Part of the focus of this past summers field work was to explain some of these anomalies.
## Older Geology on Shaded Topography
- From Grybeck
**(SOsv)**
**KARHEEN (Dk)**
**WALES (CZwg)**
**Notes:**
Don Grybeck’s simplified Craig / Dixon-Entrance geology map. As you can see a number of different geologic units were mapped but the mapping shows some inconsistencies.
The northern boundary of the olive green Descon rocks with the purple-gray Wales Group rocks is not well known, and this is important if we are searching for Proterozoic rocks that could host a VMS deposit.
The felsic to mafic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Karheen Formation also have potential for VMS mineralization. In map units characterized by small scale lithologic variability, we can look for areas with alteration signatures or small areas with geophysically anomalous signatures.
The area labeled SOsv is a time correlative unit to the Descon Formation to the north.

**limestone reefs**

**Notes:**
The geology on POW is a product of at least 3 separate periods of rifting. Known VMS mineralization occurs in the Proterozoic -- however, each one of these rifting events provides the appropriate geologic setting for VMS mineralization. There may be VMS deposits in the Paleozoic part of the section as well.
## Location of Khayyam on Shaded Topography
**Location of Khayyam on Shaded Topography**
**Notes:**
A goal of the USGS is to provide an analysis of the airborne geophysics over the significant, known VMS deposits to provide a baseline for their response.
So far, we conclude that a well-defined conductivity anomaly is not usually apparent over the known VMS occurrences. Most of the occurrences are located in close proximity to the shore and the HEM response is adversely affected by the highly conductive seawater. It is also suspected that the texture, grain characteristics and species of sulfide at known VMS deposits may not lend themselves well to direct geophysical detection – for instance the sulfides may be in blebs and not interconnected, so EM cannot set up an eddy current in the target.
This is a work in progress.
An exception to this observation is at Khayyam where an obvious connection between outcropping sulfide and a HEM response is clear. Physical property data over this deposit also support this conclusion.
## Khayyam
**Notes:**
A beautiful day on Khayyam Mountain in late June.
## 7200 Hz Apparent Resistivity
**Notes:**
We now focus on the Khayyam area, a prospect worked over and abandoned early in the last century. An obvious resistivity anomaly is shown. The black X’s show the location of physical property measurements. The location of the “Khayyam Mine” appears offset from the location of the conductor... apparently because this is the adit opening leading under the mountain to where the sulfides are located. The adit was buried by snow and was not accessible when we visited.
The point we wish to make here is that the HEM response is directly associated with outcropping sulfide mineralization and or alteration.
Note the less conspicuous anomaly to the east that has a similar shape and size to the Khayyam anomaly. The Stumble On workings are located near the X just to the right of the “Khayyam Mine” label, and represent an outcrop of massive sulfides found there.
A conductivity-depth image (what we like to call a CDI for obvious reasons) is shown using the same color scale. This section depicts electrical resistivity vs. depth along the line highlighted in red. The Khayyam anomaly is a typical “pant leg” style response characteristic of a shallow, narrow conductive body. This section supports the fact that the sulfide mineralization giving rise to this anomaly is very shallow and has only limited depth-extent (e.g., note that the white areas below the topography line are resistive).
Note the Khayyam anomaly is in the 10’s of ohm-m range... this is very conductive when we consider that the HEM system is averaging a large volume of rock.
We will now focus on the area outlined in red to have a look at the physical property data measured on the ground.
## Susceptibility on TMI Mag
**Notes:**
This image shows the Total Magnetic Intensity from the airborne survey. The X’s pinpoint the location of magnetic susceptibility measurements, a measure of the ability of a rock to become magnetized.
The photos show the instrument used to measure magnetic susceptibility (A Geo Instruments GMS-2, made in Australia). It is effectively a very small EM survey, sampling about a fist-worth of rock. The output appears on a LCD and the digital data can be stored. Each measurement takes about 10 seconds. A number of measurements are taken at each site to develop an average. The Magnetic susceptibility data are in units of micro-CGS and are shown on the upper right side of the Xs. These can be easily converted to the other common susceptibility standard, SI, by multiplying these micro-CGS values by 4*pi.
The susceptibility measurements are quite variable and don’t seem to correlate exactly to the airborne mag data. This makes sense since the local geology is also quite variable at this site: changing readily on the scale of meters. Also, small magnetite grains in veinlets significantly impact the localized susceptibility measurements. Keep in mind that the airborne magnetic data average a very large volume of rock, thus smoothing or averaging the response considerably.
Despite these inconsistencies, this work quantifies the connection between the airborne geophysical data and geology, improves the rigor of geophysical models, and aids in the overall geologic interpretation. A significant effort is underway to relate these physical property measurements with known geologic units to possibly help outline these units in areas of poor rock exposure and limited mapping.
## VLF on 7200 Hz Apparent Resistivity
**Notes:**
Resistivity was also measured on the ground using a Geonics EM-16R. Unlike the magnetic susceptibility measurements, the resistivity measurements average a considerable volume of material (about a 100 meter hemisphere). The results thus agree much better with the airborne data.
The EM 16-R uses submarine communication signals near 20,000 Hz (Very Low Frequencies, or VLF) that propagate along the earth/ionosphere interface and refract into the ground. A measurement of the magnetic and electric fields at the surface allow us to measure both resitivity and phase (the phase data give us an idea of weather the ground is getting more conductive or more resistive with depth).
Like the magnetic susceptibility measurements, this work helps quantify the connection between the airborne geophysical data and the geology.
A piece of massive sulfide kicked loose from some nearby tundra is shown in the upper left photograph. To be sure that the EM response was not caused by water, the electrical conductivity of a small pond of meltwater was measured. The water was about 1 degree C and had a resistivity of about 1700 ohm-m, and so was not responsible for the anomaly.
The EM response at this location was thus most likely caused by massive sulfide mineralization.
## Preliminary Geophysical Assumptions,SE Prince of Wales Island
**Notes:**
Several of the most distinctive geologic units were used to do a preliminary interpretation of the airborne geophysics. Some initial assumptions were made concerning their physical properties for the preliminary, first-pass version of “Anne’s Map”.
## Preliminary Geological Unit Classification from the airborne geophysical data
**Notes:**
This is Anne McCafferty’s first attempt at interpreting the airborne geophysics using the assumptions about the physical properties of selected lithologic units.
With the newly acquired physical property data and improved geologic mapping and age dating, Anne will improve her statistical interpretation and extend known lithologic units in areas of poor rock exposure and limited mapping.
This information is fundamental to understanding the age relationships, setting, and genesis of VMS mineralization on POW Island and all of southeast Alaska.
## Slide 32
**Notes:**
The major rock units mapped on Prince of Wales Island are subcategorized on this table.
After a season of field work, our preliminary interpretation has allowed us to correlate rock units to the physical property data. This data is critical for using the airborne geophysics to help extend the geologic mapping.
A significant effort is underway to relate these physical property measurements with known geologic units to possibly help outline the units in areas of poor rock exposure and limited mapping.
The graph shows the range and mean of resistivity grouped by the major rock units shown in the table. Note that the range of resistivities are not terribly different from one rock unit to the next. The carbonaceous unit stands out however. Also the spatial variability of these data are lost in this figure, so a better distinction between units may be more evident in a map presentation.
Note that there are a different number of samples in each category.
The photo at right shows a typical outcrop of the carbonaceous unit (Photo taken by Jeff Wynn at station RT30 east of Cable Creek).
## Slide 33
**Notes:**
The magnetic susceptibility of major rock units are similarly displayed. A larger contrast is apparent but the range of susceptibility is typically very wide.
Statistical outliers are understandable since many local factors affect the magnetic susceptibility measurements including local weathering, metamorphism, alteration, and small magnetite veins. Trying to correlate a small-scale phenomena with macroscopic geology is never straight-forward. A finer categorization of rock units is underway to help resolve the association between geology and geophysics.
The photo by Sue Karl shows graywacke turbidites of the Descon Formation.
## Geologic Interpretation Using Geophysics
- The first-pass at a predictive geophysical model map: the
- distinctive geophysical units
- Older, reconnaissance geologic map (compiled by Don Grybeck)
**Notes:**
Our goal is to improve our understanding of the regional geologic picture on POW. Using the physical property data and the airborne geophysics will help improve the geologic map. We see here the first iteration based on our initial classification of the geophysical data by Anne McCafferty.
## What Lessons have we Learned?
- The physical property data and airborne geophysics can be used to help map areas of limited rock exposure
- CDI sections should help aid in the interpretation of buried geology along presently unverified contacts.
- The majority of the VMS deposits on POW do not have clear EM anomalies *(...but neither does Green’s Creek!)..*
- An interpretation using geology, geochemistry, geochronology and geophysics will allow us to subdivide the Wales Group and give us criteria for delineating prospective terrain much more reliably.
- VMS mineralization on POW may not be confined to the Proterozoic.
**Notes:**
These are the lessons we have learned after one field season in the Duncan Canal-Zarembo Island area, and one field season on Prince of Wales Island.
## Slide 36
**Notes:**
This presentation was originated by Jon Doucette, and a simplified version of it was presented at the Alaska Miners Association meeting in Anchorage, AK, in November 2000 by Jeff Wynn. Sue Karl served as the the team leader. She developed and organized the project. and coordinated multidisciplinary workers toward coherent, integrated geological and geophysical products. Sue also compiled the geologic maps, and cross sections for geophysical profiles.
Andrew Grosz, Herb Pierce, and Art Schultz provided technical reviews, and John Watson spent a great deal of time converting the PowerPoint presentation to HTML for the USGS web-site.

Disposition of Fire and Hazard
Insurance Proceeds
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing
Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Final rule.
__________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This rule revises certain
provisions in HUD regulations covering
multifamily mortgage insurance which
have the effect of requiring prior HUD
endorsement before the expenditure of
any fire and hazard insurance loss
proceeds by mortgagees. Instead of this
requirement the regulations would be
revised to allow loss proceeds to be
expended to restore or repair the
property without prior HUD approval.
The proceeds may not however, be used
for any other purposes without prior
HUD approval.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 18, 1994.
FOR FUTURE INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
existing HUD regulations (24 CFR
207.260) in the event a loss occurs to the
_____________________________________________________________________
31140 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 116 / Friday, June 17, 1994 /
Rules and Regulations
===========================================================================
2 of 3
mortgaged property under any policy of
fire or other hazard insurance and the
mortgagee has received the proceeds
therefrom, it shall not exercise its option
under the mortgage to use the proceeds
of the insurance for the repairing,
replacing, or rebuilding of the premises,
or apply them to the mortgage
indebtedness, or make any other
disposition of the proceeds without the
prior written approval of the
Commissioner. Through cross-referencing
this requirement is also
made applicable to other FHA
multifamily programs i.e. Part 213
Cooperative Housing Mortgage
Insurance, Part 220 Mortgage Insurance
and Insured Improvement Loans for
Urban Renewal and Concentrated,
Development Areas, Part 221 Low Cost
and Moderate Income Mortgage
Insurance, Part 231 Housing Mortgage
Insurance for the Elderly, Part 232
Mortgage Insurance for Nursing Homes,
Intermediate Care Facilities, and Board
and Care Homes, Part 234
Condominium Ownership Mortgage
Insurance, Part 236 Mortgage Insurance
and Interest Reduction Payments for
Rental Projects, Part 241 Supplementary
Financing for Insured Project Mortgages
and Part 242 Mortgage Insurance for
Hospitals.
This rule revises current regulatory
requirements to provide that the
mortgagee may exercise its option to use
the insurance proceeds for the repairing,
replacing or rebuilding of the premises
without prior HUD approval. It may not
however make any other disposition of
insurance proceeds without prior
approval.
The Department has found that its
Field Office staff resources can be more
effectively allocated to tasks other than
the endorsing of property insurance loss
drafts where the proceeds, in any event,
are going to be used to restore or repair
the property. We estimate that from
$10,000 to $20,000 per year in staff
resources could be saved by making this
change. Mortgagees could have similar

savings (from reduction of paperwork
and check cashing steps) of from $5,000
to $10,000 per year. Project owners also
could have savings. Approximately
20,000 project owners, their mortgagees
and their insurance agents and
companies should benefit by
eliminating this unnecessary procedural
step.
The rule also makes conforming
revisions to 24 CFR 207.10, 213.13,
221.521 and 242.43 of HUD regulations
to provide that fire and hazard and
insurance have attached a standard
mortgagee clause making loss payable to
the mortgagee, its successors and
assigns rather than the current
requirement that loss be payable to the
mortgagee and the Commissioner as
their interests may appear.
Due to the strictly technical nature of
this rule, the Department has
determined that the notice and public
comment procedure under Title 5 of the
United States Code is unnecessary and
is therefore issuing this document as a
final rule.

obstacles which ever supervene at the moment of departure, and cause a lengthened
delay for no visible reason.
The sun set behind tne Peak of Tequilla, and the Cerro del Col disappeared in the
centre of the chain of tall, ahrupt hills wnich borders the Rio Tololotlan : gradually
the scene was veiled in darkness. The travellers progressed gaily conversing
together, while following the winding and accidented course of the Rio Grande del
Norte, along whose banks their road ran. The latter was wide, well made, and easy
to follow.
"Angela, mv child," the colonel presently remarked, "you are wrong to tease
your horse so. Rebecca is a good beast, very gentle, and very sure-footed ; and you
should je .nore merciful to her than you are."
" 1 assure you, papa," the pretty girl answered with a laugh, " I am not teasing
Rebecca. 1 arp only tickling her to render her lively."
" Yes, and to make her dance too, little madcap. That would be all very well if
we were only taking a ride for a few hours, instead of a journey which will last a
month. You would not like, I fancy, to be left on the road by your horse."
" Heaven forbid, fatiier ! If it be so, I will obey you. Rebecca may be at ease
in future."
And, while speaking thus, she bent over her horse's neck and gently patted it.
" Right ! " the colonel continued ; " and now what do you think of our way of
travelling? Does it please you ? *'
" I think it charming, father. I never was so happy."
" All the better, my child, because I so feared the effects of such a journey for you,
that I was on the point of leaving you at the convent."
" Thank you, father, for bringing me wilh you. I was so wearied with that
wretched convent ; and then it is so long since I have seen my dear mother, whom 1
long to embrace."
" This time, child, you will have ample leisure to do so, for I propose leaving you
with your mother."
"Then I shall not return to Guadalajara with you ? "
" No, child : you will live at my large hacienda, with your mother and servants,
during my absence ; for so soon as 1 have ended the urgent business that demands
my presence at San Bias, I shall go to Mexico and join General Santa Anna."
" Oh ! " she said, clasping her hands in entreaty, " you ought to take me with
you to the ciudad."
" Uttle madcap, you know perfectly well that is impossible ; but on my return I
will bring you and your mother the finest things from the Portaies des Mercaderes
and the Parian, in order that you may eclipse the mcst coquettish senoras of Tepic."
" Oh ! that is not the same thing," she said with a charming pout ; " and yet,"
she added, suddenly regaining her good humour, " I thank you, father ; for you are
kindyou love me."
"I am glad tnat you recognise tht fact, and at length do me justice, little rattle-
brain."
The girl began laughing, and by a sudden impulse lening her reins fall, she
thiew her arms round hei father's neck and kissed him several times."
" Take care what you are about," the colonel said, at once happy and alarmed.
*' If R brcca were to bolt you would be killed.**
" Nonsense I " she said, laughing ; " Rebecca is too well trained to behave in such
a way."
Still she caught up her reins and settled herself in her saddle.
** Angelita mia," the father continued, " you are no longer a child. You ought
<o begin to grow more reasonable."

16 December 2003, 9am -- 4pm
Notes taken by: Kerrie Pipal
Attendees: TRT Members: Gordie Reeves, Tom Lisle, Chuck Huntington, Tom
Nickelson, Mike Rode, Greg Bryant, George Kautsky, Tom Wainwright, Walt
Duffy, Tommy Williams, Pete Lawson. Staff: Heather Stout, Rosemary
Furfey, Justin Mills, Kerrie Pipal.
The meeting was called to order at 9:15 am.
1\. Introductions.
2\. Minutes Approval, ONCC (Sept), Oregon Workgroup (Nov)
3\. Agenda Revision -- moved Rosemary's update to occur after SONCC
discussion.
4\. Discussion of SONCC population delineation method, results (Tommy
Williams).
-Tommy discussed updates to the Intrinsic Potential (IP) model,
including 1) combining Applegate and the Middle Rogue River to represent
a single unit, 2) counting Humboldt Bay tributaries as a single unit,
and 3) splitting the lower and upper Trinity River into separate units,
with the North Fork Trinity inclusive of the upper Trinity. Tommy
distributed plots using logit vs. Integrated IP values, along with a
corresponding table of IP values for SONCC basins. Tommy explained use
of the centroid method for use in the distance matrix for within basin
analysis. Tom Lisle suggested a different method for finding the center
of the 'best habitat' by using a plot (Cumulative IP vs. Distance from
River Mouth). Group agreed that using Tom L.'s 'width function' method
is worth exploring.
-Chuck Huntington is interested in knowing how stray rates are affected
by small vs. large basins as related to their distance from on another;
also, how direct an effect will river mouth to river mouth straying
function have on model accuracy? Justin Mills suggested that it might be
possible to include a factor on within-basin straying and its variance
between basins to try and further define gray areas present in the
model. Placement of the plot's vertical line was discussed, and Pete
Lawson recommended adding confidence bars to the vertical line. This
would allow an estimate of uncertainty. Tommy will add 50% confidence
bars to the plot and determine a break based on these. Tommy emphasized
that at this point, Eric (Bjorkstedt) needs well thought-out ideas to
incorporate into the model to increase efficiency when running and
re-running the model. Group agreed that model process should remain
simplified at this point and details could be added/investigated as the
model progresses.
Action Items:
a\. Tom L. will write up more information on the 'width function' method
for the
group to review.
b. Recalculate the centroid for each basin.
c. Tommy will add 50% confidence bars to vertical line on logit vs.
Integrated IP plots.
Skipped to 11c on agenda
Coordination with State, outreach update, etc. -- Rosemary Furfey
-Rosemary will attend and present information at the next Oregon Coastal
Zone Management meeting. The Internal Domain Team has been formed. Four
meetings with the state have taken place to assess the development of
the Oregon plan. Plan strategy and process of how to form a stakeholder
group for recovery planning were major topics. The next meeting is in
mid-January. The second draft of the Recovery status and strategy report
is ready for review and comments. Draft is also being shared with the
Internal Domain Team and outside reviewers. Draft was distributed to TRT
for review.
6\. No public comments.
7\. Discussion of Oregon Workgroup population method, results,
Population Draft Document
-Tom Nickelson presented data and plots he used to determine Estimated
Potential Historical Abundance based on smolt counts (assuming 40%
harvest rate). Instead of using IP in his analysis, he used adult
abundance, as Estimated Potential Historical Abundance estimates were
similar when based on either catch or IP. Tom N. agreed to work with the
equation to try and find possible improvements. Chuck noted the need to
find citation support for some of the constants used in the equation.
Tom N. added confidence intervals around the vertical line (+/- 50%),
which affected 5 of the 46 basins.
Action Items:
a. Tom N. will review the equation principles to look for further
improvements.
b. Chuck will review his library for citations supporting equation
constants; he will pass any citations along to Tom N. Tom N. will
keep the +/- 50% confidence lines around the vertical line.
Break for lunch.
Skipped to 11a on agenda
TRT Coordinator Update
-Tommy Williams and Gordie Reeves provided an update on the RSRP review
of the IP model from meetings taking place at Santa Cruz Lab earlier
this week. RSRP seemed to accept the use of the IP model and commented
on what other issues it might be applied to in the future. RSRP
identified IP as a tool that could be used in the restoration aspect
(Phase II) of recovery planning.
10\. TRT approval of Oregon Coast Coho Historical Populations or with
needed revisions (Heather Stout and Pete Lawson). Heather started
discussion on this draft document with a review of Figure B (p. 8 in
Figures section) -- "Conceptual model of ESU Population Structure."
Changes to the model included 1) emphasize that it is only representing
part of an ESU, and 2) improve the figure's caption by adding additional
details and explanation. Group discussed using the term 'persistence' in
the draft document. Most of group feels that the document should be more
consistent in its wording and referencing. Group is generally
comfortable with the methods and figures presented in the document.
Action Items:
a. Heather and Pete will make changes to Figure B (should emphasis that
figure represents only part of an ESU and improve caption).
b. Heather will make revisions to the Table on populations (add
vertical lines to split the two sides and change to abbreviations --
FI, PI, D).
c. Tommy will send Heather an email copy of the SONCC document for
table comparison.
d. Tom N. and Tom Wainwright will discuss the usage of the term
'persistence' and determine its appropriateness in reference to the
horizontal axis. They will send the group an email after this matter
is further discussed.
e. Tommy will re-post several documents on Docushare (working paper
written by TRT chairs regarding use of Viable Salmonid Populations
in 'real world' situations, plus relevant papers by Eric Bjorkstedt
and Steve Lindley).
f. Oregon work group will meet on Dec 22 (9am at ODFW) to further
discuss and review the draft document.
g. TRT members should complete document review and forward all
revisions and suggestions to Heather ASAP (preferably by Dec 22).
h. Tommy to check if one or two documents are required for the 2 ESU's.
i. Pete suggested the final deadline for the document (before being
released to the public) could be changed to the end of February
2004.
11b. Oregon Coast Coho Critical Habitat Analysis -- Using the Decision
Support System (DSS). Justin Mills presented his work on ranking 5^th^
field watersheds included in the Oregon Coast ESU using DSS. Results are
still considered in DRAFT format. Justin is nearing completion on his
final review of the results.

RELEASE: 96-83
SPACE COMMERCIALIZATION AND TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS
HIGHLIGHT SHUTTLE MISSION STS-77
NASA's fourth Shuttle mission of 1996 is devoted to the
continuing effort to help open the commercial space frontier.
During the flight, designated STS-77, Endeavour and a
six-person crew will perform microgravity research aboard
the commercially owned and operated SPACEHAB Module.
Endevour's crew also will deploy and retrieve a research
satellite and perform rendezvous operations with a test satellite.
Launch of Endeavour is currently targeted for May 16, 1996 at
approximately 6:32 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center's
Launch Complex 39-B. The STS-77 mission is forecast to last
10 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes. The actual STS-77 flight duration
will be determined by power consumption and the amount of cryogenic
fuel available to support Endeavour's electrical power system
depending on how close to the target launch date Endeavour actually
begins its mission. Mission Control in Houston will closely monitor
power consumption along with cryo reserves. Shuttle managers will
have the option of shortening the mission one day if necessary. An
on-time launch and full 10-day mission duration will result in a landing on May
26 at 7:09 a.m. EDT at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility, FL.
The STS-77 crew is commanded by John Casper, making his
fourth Shuttle flight. The pilot for the mission, Curt
Brown, is making his third flight. There are four mission
specialists assigned to the flight. Andrew Thomas, serving
as Mission Specialist-1, is making his first flight.
Mission Specialist-2 is Dan Bursch is making his third
flight. Mario Runco, serving as Mission Specialist-3, also
is making his third flight. Mission Specialist-4 is
Canadian astronaut Marc Garneau, who is flying in space for
the second time.
Over 90 percent of the payloads aboard Endeavour are
being sponsored by NASA's Office of Space Access and
Technology, Washington, DC, through its Commercial Space
Centers and their industrial affiliates. Primary payloads
include experiments flying aboard the pressurized,
commercially-developed SPACEHAB Module, the Inflatable
Antenna Experiment to be deployed aboard the free-flying
Spartan-207 carrier spacecraft, and a suite of four
technology experiments known as "TEAMS," in the Shuttle's
payload bay.
Additionally, secondary experiments on the flight will
include a "Brilliant Eyes" cryo-cooling experiment, a
facility for examining the effect of microgravity on small
aquatic creatures, and a small facility for examining the
microgravity effects on simple living systems.
In 1990 NASA contracted SPACEHAB, Inc. for the lease of
their SPACEHAB Space Research Laboratories for a series of
flights. STS-77 marks the fourth flight of the SPACEHAB
under this contract.
The SPACEHAB single module will be carrying nearly
3,000 pounds of experiments and support equipment for 12
commercial space product development payloads in the areas
of biotechnology, electronic materials, polymers and
agriculture as well as several experiments for other NASA
payload organizations. One of these, the Commercial Float
Zone Facility (CFZF) has been developed through
international collaboration between the U.S., Canada and
Germany. It will heat various samples of electronic and
semi-conductor material through the float zone technique.
Another facility on SPACEHAB will be the Space
Experiment Facility (SEF), which will grow crystals by vapor
diffusion. This experiment is expected to yield large,
defect-free crystals that are important for electronic
applications and remote sensing.
In addition to the SPACEHAB module, the Goddard Space
Flight Center's deployable Spartan 207 is another one of the
primary payloads on this flight and the most ambitious
Spartan mission to date. It will deploy and test the
Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE). The IAE experiment is
meant to lay the groundwork for future technology
development in inflatable space structures and will be
launched and inflated like a balloon on orbit. The
experiment will validate the deployment (inflation) and
performance of a large inflatable antenna during a ninety-
minute mission. The antenna structure then will be
jettisoned and the Spartan spacecraft recovered at mission end.
Inside Endeavour's cargo bay will be four experiments
called Technology Experiments for Advancing Missions in
Space (TEAMS): The Global Positioning System (GPS) Attitude
and Navigation Experiment (GANE) will determine to what
accuracy the GPS system can supply attitude information to a
space vehicle; the Vented Tank Resupply Experiment (VTRE)
will test improved methods for in-space refueling; the
Liquid Metal Thermal Experiment (LMTE), which will evaluate
the performance of liquid metal heat pipes in microgravity
conditions, and the Passive Aerodynamically Stabilized
Magnetically Damped Satellite (PAMS) payload will be a
technology demonstration of the principle of aerodynamic
stabilization in the upper atmosphere of low-Earth orbit.
Cameras on the Shuttle will record the PAMS satellite as it
is deployed. Later during the mission the Shuttle will
rendezvous with the satellite on two separate days and will
point the PAMS measuring system, while cameras aboard the
Shuttle record the satellite's movements.
The Brilliant Eyes Ten Kelvin Sorption Cryocooler
Experiment (BETSCE) carries an instrument that can quickly
cool infrared and other sensors to near absolute zero using
the evaporation of hydrogen. BETSCE is a technology
demonstration experiment to show that cryocoolers of this
type, called "sorption coolers," can operate in the absence
of gravity. Sorption coolers have essentially no vibration,
are very efficient at these cold temperatures, and can
operate reliably for over 10 years.
NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and
Applications, Washington, DC, is responsible for two
experiments. The two experiments are the Aquatic Research
Facility (ARF), and the Biological Research In a Canister
(BRIC).
The ARF is a joint Canadian Space Agency/NASA project
and will be making its first flight into space on Endeavour.
The ARF allows sophisticated investigations with a wide
range of small aquatic species. The facility will permit
scientists to investigate the process of fertilization,
embryo formation and development of calcified tissue and
feeding behaviors of small aquatic organisms while in
microgravity.
The BRIC payload has flown several times. The focus on
this flight will be on the tobacco hornworm during its
metamorphosis period. This study will examine the synthesis
of protein necessary to form muscle. Analysis will be made
using the hemolymph (blood), flight muscle, intersegmental
muscles and cuticle of the insect. This study will clarify
the mechanism(s) behind one endocrine system in insects
which may aid in research on endocrine systems in general,
including those of humans when subject to microgravity effects.

OPINIONS BELOW
The decision of the court of appeals (App., infra, 1a-7a) is
reported at 792 F.2d 1376. /1/ The order of the district court as
modified (App., infra, 9a-15a) is unreported.
JURISDICTION
The judgment of the court of appeals (App., infra, 20a) was entered
on April 28, 1986. By order dated July 17, 1986, Justice Rehniquist
extended the time for filing a petition for a writ of certiorari to
and including August 26, 1986. The jurisdiction of this Court is
invoked under 28 U.S.C. 1254(1).
STATUTE INVOLVED
Section 810 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act,
16 U.S.C. 3120, is set forth in the appendix to this petition (at
40a-41a).
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
1. Whether a district court must, except in unusual circumstances,
enter a preliminary injunction whenever it finds a likely violation of
a procedural requirement of an environmental statute.
2. Whether Section 810 of the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA), 16 U.S.C. 3120, which requires federal land
managers to determine whether proposed dispositions of public lands in
Alaska "would significantly restrict subsistence uses" and, if so, to
follow certain procedures and make certain findings prior to any such
disposition, applies to the outer continental shelf (OCS), when the
Act defines "public lands" as lands which are "in Alaska" and "the
title to which is in the United States."
3. Whether, even if Section 810 applies to the OCS, the Secretary
may not proceed with OCS leasing until the Secretary of the Interior
complies with Section 810's procedural requirements for all stages of
the OCS program, including development and production.
4. Whether, even though the Secretary has found that significant
restrictions on subsistence uses are unlikely, the Secretary still
must follow the procedures mandated by Section 810 for disposition of
public lands that "would significantly restrict subsistence uses"
because of the possibility that such effects could nevertheless occur.
STATEMENT
This case concerns the application of Section 810 of the Alaska
National Interest Land Conservation Act (ANILCA), 16 U.S.C. 3120, to
the Secretary of the Interior's decision to hold Lease Sale 92 in the
North Aleutian Basin area of the outer continental shelf (OCS)
offshore Alaska. This case also concerns the appropriate judicial
standard for determining whether injunctive relief is appropriate to
redress a violation or a likely violation of Section 810. Both issues
are currently pending before the Court in Hodel v. Village of Gambell,
cert. granted, No. 85-1406 (June 2, 1986), and Amoco Production Co. v.
Village of Gambell, cert. granted, No. 85-1239 (June 2, 1986).
1. In November 1974, the Secretary of the Interior first announced
a lease sale in the Lease Sale 92 area (App. infra, 22a). The
Secretary, however, postponed the lease sale to respond to concerns
expressed by the State of Alaska. In March 1984, in response to those
concerns, the Secretary reduced the sale area by 83 percent (from 32.5
to 5.6 million acres) and adopted stringent mitigation measures to
provide extra protection for fishery habitats, commercial fishing, and
biological resources (1 Minerals Mgmt. Service, Alaska OCS Region,
U.S. Dep't of Interior, Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)
I-A-3 (1985); see Secretary of the Interior, Statement of Reasons for
the Decision on Sale 92, 71 (Dec. 1985)).
Although the Secretary was of the view that Section 810 of the
ANILCA does not apply to the OCS, he prepared a thorough pre-sale
Section 810 evaluation of the impacts on "subsistence uses" /2/ both
of the lease sale and of possible future activities at the exploration
and development and production stages; the Secretary incorporated the
evaluation into the draft and final environmental impact statements
prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. (& Supp. II) 4321 et seq. (see FEIS, at
IVK-1-IVK-10). In addition, the Secretary prepared a formal 72-page
Statement of Reasons for the Decision on Sale 92 (Statement of
Reasons). The Statement of Reasons concluded based on a careful
evaluation of subsistence uses and consideration of the proposed oil
and gas activities, that neither leasing, exploration, nor production
resulting from Lease Sale 92 would significantly restrict subsistence
uses (App. infra, 24a). Because the Secretary recognized, however,
that findings concerning possible future activities, particularly
those regarding activities at the development and production stage,
necessarily involve substantial speculation, the Secretary added that
he would conduct new Section 810 analyses prior to his approval of any
exploration plan, as well as prior to his approval of any development
and production plan (App., infra, 26a).
2. In December 1985, respondents, including the State of Alaska,
Trustees for Alaska, and the Tribal Village of Akutan, filed three
lawsuits (later consolidated) in the United States District Court for
the District of Alaska to enjoin the Secretary from conducting Lease
Sale 92, which was scheduled to commence with the opening of sealed
bids on January 15, 1986 (50 Fed. Reg. 51372 (1985)). Respondents
alleged, inter alia, that the Secretary had violated Section 810 of
ANILCA by construing Section 810 to inquire implementation of its
notice, hearing and findings provisions (see 16 U.S.C. 3120(a)(1)-(3))
only when a proposed disposition of public lands "would" significantly
restrict subsistence uses. /3/ According to respondents, those
additional procedural requirements are triggered where, as in this
case, the proposed activity "may," but is unlikely to, restrict
subsistence uses.
On January 13, 1986, the district court granted respondents' motion
for a preliminary injunction and enjoined the Secretary from holding
Lease Sale 92 (App., infra, 10a-15a). The court relied on the Ninth
Circuit's decisions in Kunaknana v. Clark, 742 F.2d 1145 (1984), and
Village of Gambell v. Hodel, 774 F.2d 1414 (1985), cert. granted, No.
85-1239 (June 2, 1986), in concluding both that the Secretary's
second-tier procedural duties under Section 810 were triggered by a
showing of a mere "possibility" or "threat" of significant restriction
of subsistence uses and that a preliminary injunction was required
(App., infra, 11a-13a). The court ruled that Ninth Circuit precedent
compels the issuance of a preliminary injunction where, as here, the
moving parties had established a strong likelihood of success on their
ANILCA claim (id., at 13a). Later that day, the district court
granted the Secretary's and the oil companies' applications for a
partial stay of the injunction to allow the Secretary to receive all
bids and to retain them unopened after midnight deadline on January
15, 1986 (id. at 16a-17a).
3. On April 28, 1986, the court of appeals affirmed. The court of
appeals framed the legal issue presented as whether "the notice and
hearing requirements under ANILCA section 810(a) apply * * * (only
when) the Secretary find(s) that a proposed action 'would
significantly restrict subsistence used' (16 U.S.C. Section 3120(a)
(emphasis added)) (o)r is a finding that significant restrictions
'may' result sufficient, even though such restrictions are deemed
unlikely" (App., infra, 4a-5a). The court concluded that a
determination that a significant restriction on subsistence is
unlikely, but may occur, is sufficient to trigger Section 810's
additional requirements. The court reasoned the dictum to the effect
in its prior decision in Hodel v. Village of Gambell, supra, was
"plainly controlling," notwithstanding that both the plain meaning of
the statutory language and deference to agency construction supported
an interpretation of Section 810 that limited its additional
requirements to instances when the Secretary determined that such
significant restrictions "would" occur (App., infra, 7a). The court
acknowledged that in the absence of the Gambell dictum, these two
competing considerations "might be compelling" (ibid.). Finally, the
court of appeals affirmed the district court's issuance of a
preliminary injunction on the ground that "(a)bsent unusual
circumstances, irreparable damage is presumed and an injunction is
required when an agency violates ANILCA Section 810(a)" (id. at 4a
(citing Village of Gambell v. Hodel, 774 F.2d at 1422-1423)). See
App., infra, 7a.
Pursuant to a joint motion of the parties, the district court on
May 21, 1986, issued an order continuing its stay of the preliminary
injunction and premitting the Secretary to continue to hold the
unopened bids pending this Court's disposition of Hodel v. Village of
Gambell, No. 85-1406, and Amoco Production Co. v. Village of Gambell,
No. 85-1239.
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
1. The Court has granted certiorari in Hodel v. Village of Gambell,
No. 85-1406 (June 2, 1986), and Amoco Production Co. v. Village of
Gambell, No. 85-1239 (June 2, 1986), to consider the application of
Section 810 of ANILCA to an OCS lease sale, including: (1) whether
Section 810 of ANILCA applies to the OCS; (2) whether OSC leasing may
proceed before the Secretary complies with Section 810's procedural
requirements for later stages of the OCS process; and (3) whether a
finding that significant subsistence restrictions "may" occur,
triggers the additional procedural requirements of Section 810. The
Court will also consider in those cases the standards for granting
injunctive relief to redress violations or likely violations of
Section 810. Because the same issues are presented here as well, the
Court should hold the petition in this case and dispose of it as
appropriate in light of its decision in Village of Gambell.
2.a. In addition to repeating the errors of Village of Gambell, the
decision of the court of appeals in this case exacerbates these
errors. In Village of Gambell, the Secretary had determined that
significant subsistence restrictions would not occur at either the
lease or exploration stage, but were likely to occur in certain areas
at the development and production stage, should that stage be reached,
which the Secretary concluded was unlikely. The court of appeals in
that case held (erroneously, in our view) that the possibility of such
later restrictions was sufficient to trigger Section 810's additional
procedural requirements, although Section 810 expressly provides that
those procedures must be followed only when a proposed disposition of
public lands "would" significantly restrict subsistence uses. The
court, in effect, ruled that the statutory term "would" means "may."
Here, the court compounded its error by ruling that the "would"
standard was met even where, as here, the Secretary had found that
significant restrictions on subsistence resources were unlikely to
occur at any stage, including development and production. Hence, the
court has further diverged from the plain meaning of Section 810,
which by utilizing "would" and not "may", requires some likelihood of
significant subsistence restrictions. Cf. Immigration &
Naturalization Service v. Stevic, 467 U.S. 407, 422 (1984) (use of
"would" in statute denotes standard of "likelihood").
b. Although we believe that the court of appeals erred in this
additional respect, we do not seek review at this time on the issue.
The basic issue of statutory construction is already before the Court
in Village of Gambell and its decision in that case may well be
controlling here.
CONCLUSION
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be held and disposed
of as appropriate in light of the Court's decision in Hodel v. Village
of Gambell, No. 85-1406, and Amoco Production Co. v. Village of
Gambell, No. 85-1239.
Respectfully submitted.

/1/ The decision was originally issued as a memorandum opinion not
for publication. On July 1, 1986, the panel issued an order
redesignating the decision as a signed opinion (792 F.2d 1376). See
App., infra, 8a.
/2/ The term "subsistence uses" is defined in Section 803 of
ANILCA, 16 U.S.C. 3113, as "the customary and traditional uses by
rural Alaska residents of wild, renewable resources for direct
personal or family consumption as food, shelter, fuel, clothing,
tools, or transportation; for the making and selling of handicraft
articles out of nonedible byproducts of fish and wildlife resources
taken for personal or family consumption; for barter, or sharing for
personal or family consumption; and for customary trade."
/3/ Respondents also alleged that the Secretary's decision to
conduct the lease sale violated Section 19 of the Outer Continental
Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA), 43 U.S.C. 1345, NEPA, 42 U.S.C. (& Supp. II)
4321 et seq., and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, 16
U.S.C. 1536.

determined that the petition contains data or information regarding the
elements set forth in section 408(d)(2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has
not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time
or whether the data supports granting of the petition. Additional data
may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.
*A. Residue Chemistry*
1\. *Plant metabolism*. **\[The fate of fluopicolide in plants is
clearly understood. Metabolism studies were conducted with grapes,
potato, and lettuce. The metabolic profile of fluopicolide was similar
in all three crops and demonstrated that fluopicolide is degraded by
oxidation and hydrolysis. The primary residue found in all crops, and
the only residue of concern, is the parent molecule fluopicolide. \]**
2\. *Analytical method*. **\[A practical analytical method utilizing
liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry detection is available and
has been validated for detecting and measuring levels of fluopicolide in
and on crops. The validated limit of quantitation is 0.01 ppm.\]**
3\. *Magnitude of residues*. **\[Residue data for the use of
fluopicolide on the commodities listed within this notice has been
submitted.\]**
*B. Toxicological Profile*
1\. *Acute toxicity*. **\[**
A battery of acute toxicity studies places technical fluopicolide in
toxicity category IV. No evidence of sensitization was observed in
guinea pigs. In an acute neurotoxicity study in rats, only statistically
lower body temperature was observed 6 hours after dosing at the limit
dose of 2000 mg/kg. No other treatment-related changes were noted in the
study, and the NOAEL was considered to be 100 mg/kg.
**\]**
2\. *Genotoxicty*. **\[**
Fluopicolide has been evaluated for genotoxicity using a battery of
tests, including bacterial reverse mutation tests, a mammalian cell gene
mutation (HPRT) assay, an *in vivo* mouse micronucleus assay, an *in
vitro* chromosome aberration test, and an *in vivo* unscheduled DNA
synthesis test. The weight of evidence from all of these assays shows
that fluopicolide is not genotoxic.**\]**
3\. *Reproductive and developmental toxicity*. **\[**
i\. In a developmental toxicity study in rats gavage dosed from
gestation days 7 to 20 at levels of 0, 5, 60 or 700 mg/kg/day, evidence
of maternal and fetal toxicity was observed at 700 mg/kg/day, the
highest dose tested. The maternal and fetal NOAEL was 60 mg/kg/day based
on statistically lower body weights in dams and fetuses, and skeletal
findings in fetuses that included delayed ossification of some bones and
slight increases in the incidence of various rib and thoracic vertebrae
anomalies.
ii\. In a developmental toxicity study with rabbits, pregnant animals
were given oral doses of 0, 5, 20 or 60 mg/kg/day on gestation days 6 to
28. At the high dose, 15 animals were sacrificed following spontaneous
abortions and 3 animals were found dead. The few surviving animals in
this group had live fetuses at cesarean sectioning but other than lower
fetal weight and crown/rump length, no treatment-related findings were
observed upon external, visceral and skeletal examinations of these
fetuses. The NOAEL for maternal and fetal toxicity was 20 mg/kg/day.
iii\. In a 2-generation reproductive toxicity study, fluopicolide was
administered to rats at dietary levels of 0, 100, 500, or 2000 ppm. The
NOAEL was 500 ppm (equivalent to 26 and 33 mg/kg/day for males and
females, respectively) for developing offspring and for
parental/systemic toxicity. The LOAEL was 2000 ppm based on decreased
body weight and organ weight changes in both F0 and F1 adults and F1 and
F2 pups. The reproductive NOAEL was 2000 ppm. **\]**
4\. *Subchronic toxicity*. **\[**
Ninety-day feeding studies were conducted in dogs, mice and rats.
i\. No evidence of toxicity was observed in dogs up to the limit dose of
1000 mg/kg/day. The NOAEL in dogs is 1000 mg/kg/day.
ii\. In 90-day feeding studies in both CD-1 and C57BL/6 mice, liver was
the only target organ identified with hepatocellular hypertrophy seen at
dietary levels of 320 ppm and higher. The NOAEL in C57BL/6 mice was 200
ppm (equivalent to 37.8 and 52.8 mg/kg/day in males and females,
respectively).
iii\. In a 90-day rat study with dietary levels of 100, 1400 and 20,000
ppm, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was exceeded at 20,000 ppm based
on body weight gain of 30 to 40% below control. The target organs
identified in rats were the liver (centrilobular hypertrophy) in both
sexes and the kidneys in males (accumulation of hyaline droplets, single
cell death at the proximal tubule epithelium, slight foci of basophilic
tubules and granular casts) at 1400 ppm and 20000 ppm. The NOAEL was 100
ppm, equivalent to 7.4 and 8.4 mg/kg/day, in males and females,
respectively.
iv\. In a subchronic neurotoxicity study, rats were treated with 0, 200,
1400 or 10000 ppm in the diet for 13 weeks. The NOAEL for systemic
toxicity is 1400 ppm (107 mg/kg/day in males and 125 mg/kg/day in
females) based on findings in the liver and kidney. There were no
neurotoxicity findings. The NOAEL for neurotoxicity is 10,000 ppm (781
mg/kg/day in males and 866 mg/kg/day in females).
iii\. In a subchronic dermal toxicity study, male and female rats were
treated with fluopicolide at dose levels of 0, 100, 250, 500 and 1000
mg/kg/day. There were no effects at any dose level. The NOAEL of the
study is 1000 mg/kg/day.**\]**
5\. *Chronic toxicity*. **\[**
i\. Lower body weight gain at the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg/day was the
only treatment-related effect noted in a 52-week dog study performed at
70, 300, and 1000 mg/kg/day by gavage. Thus, the NOAEL in dogs was
established at 300 mg/kg/day.
ii\. Chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity was assessed in rats at dietary
levels of 50, 200, 750 and 2500 ppm. The NOAEL was 200 ppm (8.4
mg/kg/day in males and 10.8 mg/kg/day in females) based on microscopic
changes in the liver and kidneys similar to those observed in the 90-day
rat study. No evidence of carcinogencity was observed in rats up to 2500
ppm.
iii\. The oncogenic potential of fluopicolide was investigated in
C57BL/6 mice at dietary levels of 0, 50, 400, or 3200 ppm. Significantly
lower body weight gain was seen at 3200 ppm in conjunction with a slight
decrease in food consumption. Increased liver weight and centrilobular
hepatocellular hypertrophy were observed at 400 and 3200 ppm in both
sexes. In addition at 3200 ppm, an increased incidence of hepatocellular
adenomas was noted in both sexes, but the incidence of hepatocellular
carcinomas was not affected. The NOAEL was 50 ppm (equivalent to 7.9 and
11.5 mg/kg/day in males and females, respectively). Subsequent
mechanistic work demonstrated a marked transient hepatocellular
proliferation, which returned to control levels after 28 days of
treatment. This was accompanied by a clear induction of total cytochrome
P-450 and related enzymes. These results parallel findings with
Phenobarbital, which has a well understood threshold-based mechanism of
rodent tumor formation commonly known to be of no relevance to humans.
**\]**
6\. *Animal metabolism*. **\[**
The animal metabolism of fluopicolide is well understood. Fluopicolide
is rapidly absorbed and excreted when administered to rats and the
resulting tissue residues are very low. The metabolic pathway for
fluopicolide is similar in rodents, goats and hens. Metabolism in
livestock proceeded primarily via hydroxylation and hydrolysis.**\]**
7\. *Metabolite toxicology*. **\[**
Four metabolites (AE C653711, AE C657188, AE C657378, and AE 1344122)
were identified as low-level plant and/or soil metabolites of
fluopicolide. Several of the metabolites were identified at low levels
in the rat following fluopicolide or AE C653711 administration and were
therefore covered by the tox studies conducted with the parent molecule.
All compounds were tested for acute, subchronic (28-day) and genetic
toxicity and AE C653711 and AE C657188 were additionally studied in *in
vivo* ADME studies. All were found to be equally or less toxic than the
parent molecule itself. These metabolites are therefore considered not
toxicologically relevant to the overall assessment of fluopicolide human

8\. *Endocrine disruption*. **\[**
The toxicology database for fluopicolide is current and complete. No
special studies to evaluate the potential endocrine effects of
fluopicolide have been conducted. However, the studies in this database
include evaluation of the potential effects on reproduction and
development, and an evaluation of the pathology of the endocrine organs
following short- or long-term exposure. These studies revealed no
endocrine-related effects.**\]**
*C. Aggregate Exposure*
1\. *Dietary exposure*. **\[An assessment was conducted to evaluate
potential risks due to chronic and acute dietary exposure of the U.S.
population subgroups to residues of fluopicolide. This analysis covers
all pending crop uses. \]**
i\. *Food*. **\[**
**Acute: No appropriate toxicological endpoint attributable to a single
exposure was identified in the available toxicology studies conducted
with fluopicolide. Since no acute toxicological endpoints could be
established, the acute aggregate risk is considered to be negligible.**
**Chronic: Chronic assessments were conducted to evaluate potential
risks due to chronic dietary exposure to the U.S. population and
selected population subgroups to residues of fluopicolide. This analysis
was conducted using the Cumulative and Aggregate Risk Evaluation System
(CARES) using actual field trial residue and estimated percent crop
treated. \]**
ii\. *Drinking water*. **\[**
**Acute: Since no acute toxicological endpoints could be established,
the acute aggregate risk is considered to be negligible.**
**Chronic: A tier II PRZM/EXAMS assessment was conducted to determine
the EECs in the standard EPA pond and the EDWCs in the Standard Index
Reservoir associated with fluopicolide on crops. The EXPRESS, PRZM/EXAMS
shell was used to conduct the modeling. The worst case scenario was used
in the drinking water exposure assessment and a refined chronic drinking
water exposure risk analysis was conducted using the CARES Water Wizard.
\]**
2\. *Non-dietary exposure*. **\[There is a potential residential
exposure to adults applying , and adults and children entering
residential turf areas treated with fluopicolide. Based on the
application of fluopicolide to residential turf, conservative estimates
of exposure were calculated for both children and adults. All estimates
resulted in calculated margins of exposure in excess of 100.\]**
*D. Cumulative Effects*
**\[Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) requires that, when considering whether to
establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider "available
information" concerning the cumulative effects of a particular
pesticide's residues and "other substances that have a common mechanism
of toxicity". EPA does not have, at this time, available data to
determine whether fluopicolide has a common mechanism of toxicity with
other substances or how to include this pesticide in a cumulative risk
assessment. For the purposes of this tolerance action, EPA has not
assumed that fluopicolide has a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances.\]**
*E. Safety Determination*
1\. *U.S. population*. **\[**
**Acute: No appropriate toxicological endpoint attributable to a single
exposure was identified in the available toxicology studies conducted
with fluopicolide. Since no acute toxicological endpoints could be
established, the acute aggregate risk is considered to be negligible.**
**Chronic: The aggregate risk of the US population to fluopicolide was
determine and the resultant exposure value was expressed in terms of
margin of exposure (MOE), which was calculated by dividing the no
observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) by the exposure for each
population subgroup. In addition, exposure was also expressed as a
percent of the chronic reference dose (%cRfD). The results of the
chronic dietary and drinking water exposure and risk analyses presented
here, demonstrate that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to the U.S. population or sensitive sub-populations, including
infants and children, from chronic dietary exposure resulting from the
proposed uses of fluopicolide.\]**
2\. *Infants and children*. **\[**
**Acute: No appropriate toxicological endpoint attributable to a single
exposure was identified in the available toxicology studies conducted
with fluopicolide. Since no acute toxicological endpoints could be
established, the acute aggregate risk is considered to be negligible.**
**Chronic: The results of the chronic dietary and drinking water
exposure and risk analysis demonstrate that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to the U.S. sub-populations of
infants and children from chronic dietary exposure resulting from the
proposed uses of fluopicolide. The percentile of chronic dietary
exposure (food) was highest among children 1 to 2 years of age. The
percentile of chronic drinking water exposure was highest among infants
"0\" years of age. The percentile aggregate chronic exposure from food
and water was highest among infants "0\" years of age.**
**The maximum chronic exposure from food and water for each population
sub-group was estimated to be less than 1 % of the c-PAD.\]**
*F. International Tolerances*
**\[There are no CODEX tolerances for residues of fluopicolide\]**

Data from the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) show that efforts to
raise the productivity of the sugar industry through the use
higher-yielding varieties, adoption of new technology and rehabilitation
of antiquated milling facilities resulted in a 32.6-percent growth in
production over the last four years.
After more than a decade of experiencing production shortfalls, sugar
production is projected to hit a high of 2.158 million metric tons for
crop year 2002-03, more than enough to meet the domestic requirement of
about 2.0 million metric tons and to supply the country's sugar export
quota of 142,160 metric tons to the United States. No sugar was imported
this year, not even the Minimum Access Volume of 59,780 MT.
In the island of Negros, the country's sugar bowl, the 29-percent
increase in sugar production over a four-year period (1999-2003) is
considered quite substantial, especially in light of the fact that the
area dedicated to sugarcane planting on the island dropped by 2.8
percent.\
\
Based on SRA data, sugar production in Mindanao increased by almost 100
percent, which was attributed to a 52-percent increase in hectarage, a
9.59-percent increase in mill recovery and an 82-percent improvement in
yield per hectare by major sugar producers in Bukidnon.
In Luzon, there was a significant increase of 16.57 percent in
production largely due to higher sugar content of cane and better mill
recovery. Area planted to sugarcane and cane tonnage also increased at
2.69 percent and 3.35 percent, respectively.
Given the positive production situation for next year, the country will
likely not import any sugar including the Minimum Access Volume of over
60,000 MT. The Philippine Department of Agriculture has been studying
the possibility of exporting Philippine sugar to countries other than
the United States. For CY 2004, the US will be importing a total of
142,160 MT from the Philippines under a tariff-rate quota agreement with
the country.

The Office of the Philippine President issued on August 7, 2003,
Executive Order No. 230 (EO 230), setting tariffs for all raw and
refined sugar, including cane and beet sugar, imported from all
Southeast Asian countries at 48 percent. This order was dated July 26,
2003 and took effect immediately. The new order, which reduces sugar
tariffs by two percent from the current 50 percent in-quota Most Favored
Nation (MFN) tariff, follows the decision of the Tariff and Related
Matters (TRM) Committee to grant the tariff concession to ASEAN members
in exchange for the transfer of Philippine sugar to the sensitive list.
The Philippine government notified the WTO earlier this year of its
intention to break its tariff binding for raw and refined sugar, which
raised the bound rate and out-of-quota tariff to 80 percent. Under the
Uruguay Round, the Philippines committed to unifying both in-quota and
out-of-quota sugar tariffs at 50 percent beginning January 2003.
Principal supplying country to the Philippines, by WTO definition, is
Thailand. (see Gain RP3048)

**Description of Problem/Issue:**
During TCAS flight testing nuisance failures of the barometric altitude
credibility monitor have been observed. They have occurred during
vertical rate maneuvers approaching 1g in acceleration. This is in
excess of the standard RA maneuver that Air Transport category aircraft
are likely perform. However, it is not unlikely that business jets and
military aircraft with TCAS would perform maneuvers such as this on a
regular basis.
Discussion with Mitre indicates that the baro altitude credibility
monitor was designed to handle approximately ½ g accelerations maximum.
It is believed that if not corrected this monitor design will result in
regular occurrences of TCAS system failures during climbout and during
resolution advisories where the pilot responds aggressively.
**Proposed Resolution:**
Intruder altitude tracking was affected similarly.
Constants only changed in Pcode and CRS. Changes attached.
Three new tests, EN04TS49.dat, EN03TS79.dat, and EN03TS80.dat, were
produced to cover the CRS transitions 3.92-C2, 3.98-C2, and 3.57-C1,
respectively. The RWG verified that the tests do, in fact, cover these
transitions. TSIM was updated with the constant modifications and used
to produce an updated set of expected outputs and transition files for
all existing tests. The updated expected outputs were successfully
compared to the outputs generated by several of the TCAS manufacturer's
implementations.

## Proposed Change to the Airdata-Tracker Credibility Window
Rockwell-Collins recently identified an issue with the altitude tracker
used in TCAS II Version 7 to track own aircraft altitude when finely
quantized altitude measurements are available. This tracker is referred
to as the airdata-tracker in the Version 7 pseudocode.
# Issue
During a flight test in which the pilot responded very aggressively to a
Climb RA (post-flight data analysis showed that the vertical
acceleration reached 1.0g for a very short time), the airdata-tracker
declared the altitude measurements "not credible" during the
acceleration. The track was then coasted. The track continued to coast
until the altitudes measurements were re-captured by the credibility
window 19 seconds later.
The MOPS require that TCAS be taken down by the System Performance
Monitor when the own aircraft track is coasted for 5 seconds. Thus, if a
similarly aggressive maneuver was executed by a pilot during an
operational flight, the TCAS function would be terminated. This would
not only result in a serious nuisance, since a TCAS unit taken down by
the System Performance Monitor needs to be pulled off the airplane and
sent to maintenance, but could also raise a safety issue, if the TCAS
function was terminated during an RA.
# Background
Originally, the CAS logic did not include a specific credibility check
for own aircraft altitude. A comment in the pseudocode simply stated
that the credibility of the altitude measurements should be checked
before being passed to the tracker, presumably by the System Performance
Monitoring function. In May 1996, the Requirements Working Group decided
that the credibility check of altitude measurements supplied by the
airdata computer (or other source of finely quantized altitude
measurements) should be performed by the logic itself (altitude tracker)
rather than by the System Performance Monitor. CRF257 was generated to
address this new requirement. However, the specific requirements to
which the credibility check should be designed were left wide open.
A first credibility check intended to capture altitude measurements
corresponding to a vertical acceleration of up to 0.35g was implemented
in the logic. (The largest acceleration assumed by the logic when a
pilot responds to an RA is 0.35g.) Shortly thereafter, the value of one
credibility check parameter (CREDZADC) was slightly increased to improve
the ability of the airdata-tracker to maintain track during short
vertical accelerations of up to 0.5g.
The purpose of the credibility check is to ensure that bad altitude
measurements (i.e., measurements having a measurement error much larger
than that anticipated in the tracker design) will not be passed to the
tracker. Altitude tracks recorded during the TCAS Transition Program and
analyzed by the FAA Technical Center were found to have a few, rare bad
measurements characterized by very larger errors (3,000 to 5,000 ft).
However, comments made by one avionics manufacturer indicated that a
measurement error as small as 300 ft was seen on at least one occasion.
In the absence of further characterization of bad altitude measurements,
the design of the credibility window should thus be aimed at rejecting
bad measurements characterized by measurement errors as small as 300 ft.
# Discussion
A few simulations were performed with the currently specified
credibility window (parameters: CREDZDAC = 35 ft; MINSOFT = 2; MAXSOFT =
10). They confirmed that, with the current credibility window, the
airdata-tracker was capable of maintaining track during accelerations
reaching 0.5g for a short duration (change in vertical rate no greater
than 3,000 fpm) when none of the altitude measurements are bad. However,
the airdata-tracker starts failing to properly maintain track when the
acceleration increases beyond 0.5g, or even when a maximum acceleration
of 0.5g is maintained for more than about 2 seconds (resulting in a
change in the vertical rate larger than 3,000 fpm). Also, the ability of
the current credibility window to capture a good measurement following a
bad one is relatively poor when the bad measurement happens to occur in
the middle of a moderate to large acceleration. In short, these new
performance simulations confirmed that a further widening of the
credibility window was necessary to raise the probability that the track
for own aircraft will be maintained during an aggressive maneuver.
# Analysis
The attached spreadsheet contains a quick analysis of the sizing of the
credibility window. The analysis is based on a worst-case scenario.
In this worst-case scenario, own aircraft initially descends at 6,000
fpm, then, after a short time, reverses its vertical rate with an
acceleration that builds up at the high rate of 8 ft/s^3^ (jerk) to a
maximum acceleration of 40 ft/s^2^ (1.25g). The first 4 columns of the
spreadsheet show the time, acceleration, vertical rate, and altitude for
every second of this short scenario.
The next four columns show the response of an alpha-beta tracker similar
to that specified for the airdata-tracker. Note that in this simple
spreadsheet model, the measurements, which are the same as the true
altitudes, do not include a measurement error.
The column entitled \"residual\" shows the build up of the tracker lag
during the acceleration. The maximum residual (difference between the
measured altitude and the predicted altitude) is 130 ft. To maintain
track during this scenario, the credibility window should thus be sized
so as to accommodate a residual of at least 130 ft. In fact, the
credibility window should be somewhat larger than that in order to
simultaneously accommodate an adequate amount of random measurement
error (or noise). Assuming a worst random measurement error standard
deviation (sigma) of 10 ft and aiming at a 3-sigma margin leads to a
credibility window with a half-width of at least 160 ft.
A credibility window with a half-width of 160 ft will in fact not be
quite sufficient. Indeed, the error in the predicted altitude, which is
one component of the residual, is the result of not only the tracker lag
accumulated during the acceleration but also of the random error in the
tracked vertical rate (which itself is caused by the random measurement
errors on the previous cycles). Increasing the window half-width by
another 20 to 30 ft should accommodate the latter source of error. This
leads to a credibility window with a half-width of about 180 ft to 190
ft.
Note that a credibility window with a half-width of about 180 ft will
accommodate an even large acceleration (\>1.25g) when the standard
deviation of the measurement random error is less than the assumed 10
ft. However, a scenario with an acceleration that is worse than the one
assumed in this analysis is hard to imagine for the simple reason that,
in the physical world, the acceleration itself cannot increase
instantaneously, but needs to be gradually built up (jerk).
In the above scenario, a constant jerk of 0.25g/s has been assumed. Even
with such a large jerk, it takes 5 seconds to reach an acceleration of
1.25g. By the time this acceleration is reached, the accumulated change
in the vertical rate (since the beginning of the acceleration) is
already 4,800 fpm. Keeping the 1.25g acceleration for 1.0 second, then
reducing the acceleration back down to zero with the same 0.25g/s jerk,
results in a total change in the vertical rate of 12,000 fpm. A scenario
worse than that would probably not be credible. In fact, this worst-case
scenario may very well already be somewhat beyond the envelope of what
would be considered an "aggressive" aircraft maneuver in a civilian
airspace.
The next issue to be considered in designing the credibility window is
its ability to capture a good measurement following a bad one. The worst
time for a bad measurement to occur is on the cycle where the residual
would normally be the largest (if the measurement was good). This
happens at time 12 seconds in the worst-case scenario. When the bad
measurement is rejected, the track is coasted (i.e., the vertical rate
estimate is not updated), which causes the tracker lag to increase even
further. In the worst-case scenario, a rejected measurement at time 12
seconds results in a residual equal to 228 ft on the next cycle. Thus,
to ensure with a high probability that a good measurement on that cycle
will be captured by the credibility window, the window half-width should
be at least 228 ft. In reality, a window half-width of about 260 to 270
ft will probably be necessary to accommodate the two sources of
additional random errors discussed above.
Finally, the question of how large the window should be at track
initialization needs to be examined. For this purpose, the following
worst-case scenario is defined. The aircraft has a maximum climb rate of
9,000 fpm when the track is initialized and the second measurement is a
bad one. How wide should the window be to capture the third measurement?
The altitude displacement over 2 seconds at that vertical rate is 300
ft. This suggests that the credibility window half-width should be of
the order of 300 + 1.41\*30 = 340 ft to accommodate the random
measurement errors in the first and third measurements.
How should the current credibility window in the Version 7 pseudocode be
modified? To summarize the above considerations, the credibility window
should have a half-width of about 180 to 190 ft when track softness
(inverse of track firmness) is at its minimum, a half-width of about 260
to 270 ft following one track coast, and a half width of about 340 ft
when softness is at its maximum. These three requirements can be met
with the following credibility window parameters: CREDZADC = 65 ft,
MINSOFT = 3, and MAXSOFT = 5. This combination of parameters results in
a credibility window with a half-width of 195 ft when softness is
minimum, 325 ft when softness is maximum, and 260 ft in-between.
# Testing Requirements
The operation of the airdata-tracker is, for all practical purposes,
independent of the remainder of the CAS logic. The interface between the
airdata-tracker and the remainder of the logic is simple and
straight-forward. The airdata-tracker receives altitude inputs from some
barometric altitude measuring device (airdata computer or gyro),
estimates the altitude and vertical rate of own aircraft on each
tracking cycle, and passes these two estimates to the remainder of the
logic. The airdata-tracker does not receive any input or feedback from
the logic; it does not have multiple modes of operations that depend on
the states of the logic. Thus, a comprehensive type of end-to-end
testing of the proposed change that would involve the entire CAS logic
is not absolutely necessary.
New Safety Study simulations and new Operational Evaluation simulations
are similarly not absolutely necessary in this case. Neither the
scenarios used in the Safety Study simulations nor those used in the
Operational Evaluation simulations have aircraft maneuvering with
accelerations larger than 0.5g. The current airdata-tracker with the
current credibility window tracks such maneuvers without problem.
Therefore, the proposed credibility window change would not affect the
result of these simulations.
Given the above considerations, the following testing was performed.
Simulation-based testing was performed at the module level using the
airdata-tracker (with the proposed credibility window) and a driver
capable of generating quantized altitude measurements that include an
adequate amount of random measurement error (maximum quantization level
= 10 ft; maximum error sigma = 10 ft). Altitude profiles with maximum
accelerations between 0.5g and 1.25g (0.5g, 0.75g, 1.0g, and 1.25g) were
simulated. Simulated accelerations were built up gradually (maximum jerk
= 0.25g/s). For each profile, three cases were simulated. In the first
case, all measurements were good; in the second case, an isolated bad
measurement was introduced at the worst possible time; and in the third
case, two successive bad measurements were introduced starting on a
cycle randomly selected in an interval beginning 8 cycles (seconds)
before the beginning of the acceleration and ending 8 cycles (seconds)
after the end of the acceleration. (Note that this interval is centered
on the period of acceleration and includes the worst possible cycle for
a bad measurement to occur.)
Simulations were performed both for the worst-case scenario used in the
analysis and for a less extreme scenario in which the aircraft is
initially in level flight. Simulations were also performed to test the
initialization performance of the proposed credibility window. The
results of all these simulations are summarized in an attached
spreadsheet. They show that, for the worst-case scenario simulated, the
proposed design was able to maintain track 100% of the time for all
maximum accelerations up to 1.25g when none of the altitude measurements
were bad. They also show that the ability of the tracker to maintain
track when one isolated bad measurement occurs at the worst possible
time or when two successive bad measurements occur at a random time
remains very good for accelerations of less than 1.0g and fairly good
for accelerations of 1.0g or more.
[Note:]{.underline} In this analysis, a track is considered "maintained"
when fewer than 5 successive altitude measurements are rejected by the
credibility window. When testing the ability of the window to capture a
good measurement following two successive bad ones, the first bad
measurement is generated at least 8 cycles prior to the end of the
simulated track to allow sufficient time for determining whether the
track has been maintained or not. The geometry of the simulated
scenarios is such that, when the credibility window rejects the first
good measurement following one or more bad ones, it continues to reject
the following good measurements as well.
The ability of the credibility window to reject bad measurements was
examined as follows. In a first set of simulation runs, bad measurements
were simulated by adding 1,000 ft to the true altitude. Given the size
of the credibility window such bad measurements are always rejected.
Then, the amount of error defining a bad measurement was progressively
reduced and the percentages of tracks maintained throughout were
compared to those obtained when the error defining a bad measurement was
1,000 ft. Identical performance was taken to indicate that all bad
measurements were correctly rejected. Identical performance was obtained
for all acceleration scenarios with the following error magnitudes:
- one isolated bad measurement: +200 ft and --400 ft,
- two successive bad measurements: +600 ft and --600ft.
Identical performance was obtained for all initialization scenarios with
the following error magnitudes:
- one isolated bad measurement: +400 ft and --600 ft,
- two successive bad measurements: +400 ft and --600ft.
Note that the tracker lag causes the rejection performance of the
credibility window to depend on the sign of the error when one isolated
bad measurement is generated at the worst possible time.
Under much more common operating conditions, when the vertical rate of
own aircraft is constant or when a mild vertical acceleration is taking
place (0.25g or less), the credibility window, which has a half-width of
195 ft when softness is at its minimum and 260 ft after one cycle of
coasting, would reject all isolated bad measurements and all pairs of
successive bad measurements characterized by a positive or negative
error of 300 ft or more. (The maximum tracker lag accumulated during a
sustained 0.25g acceleration is equal to 17 ft.)

# Proposed Change to the 100-ft and 25-ft Altitude Tracker Credibility Window
The proposed change widens the credibility window used by both the
100-ft and the 25-ft altitude trackers. Its purpose is to ensure that
altitude reports generated during a vertical accelerations of up to
1.25g will be accepted, and thus, that track will be maintained on
aircraft performing such maneuvers.
## Background
The Requirements Working Group (RWG) agreed in March 1999 to widen the
credibility window of the alpha-beta tracker used to track own aircraft
altitude (airdata-tracker) to ensure that the tracker would be able to
maintain track on own aircraft during a 1.25g vertical acceleration (see
Change Proposal to the Airdata-Tracker Credibility Window). This change
prompted a re-examination the credibility window used by the 100-ft and
25-ft altitude trackers. Two considerations motivated the additional
effort. First, since the 100-ft tracker is used in some TCAS
installations to track own aircraft altitude (when the only source of
altitude information available is the altitude encoder of the Mode A/C
transponder), the same track maintenance requirements driving the design
of the airdata-tracker should also drive the design of the 100-ft
tracker. Second, since high performance aircraft are not limited to
playing role of own aircraft, but can also act as intruders to other
TCAS-equipped aircraft, the capabilities of the altitude trackers used
to track intruders should match those of the altitude tracker used for
own aircraft.
New simulations performed with both the 100-ft and the 25-ft altitude
trackers using the same worst-case scenario used to verify the track
maintenance performance of the airdata-tracker (see Change Proposal to
the Airdata-Tracker Credibility Window and below) revealed that neither
tracker was able to maintain track on an aircraft maneuvering with a
sustained acceleration greater than 0.5g. In light of these results, the
RWG agreed that a change to the credibility check of the 100-ft and
25-ft altitude trackers was necessary.
## Test Conditions
The worst-case scenario used to verify the track maintenance performance
of the altitude trackers is as follows. The tracked aircraft initially
descends at 6,000 fpm, then, after a short time, reverses its vertical
rate with an acceleration that builds up at the high rate of 8 ft/s^3^
(jerk) to a maximum acceleration of 40 ft/s^2^ (1.25g).
Since the function of associating successive altitude reports with
intruders is performed by the surveillance subsystem of TCAS and the
function of the 100-ft and 25-ft altitude trackers is limited to
estimating altitude and altitude rate, the notion of track maintenance
is vague when applied to these trackers. However, it is clear that
neither tracker would fulfill its function of providing accurate
altitude and altitude rate estimates if the credibility check was to
reject many successive valid altitude reports. In the absence of a
precise set of requirements, it seemed reasonable to adopt the same
track maintenance criterion that was used in the analysis of the
airdata-tracker. Specifically, a track is considered "maintained" when
fewer than 5 successive altitude measurements are rejected by the
credibility window.
The purpose of the credibility check is to ensure that bad altitude
reports (i.e., reports containing an erroneous altitude measurement or
reports mis-correlated by the surveillance function) will not be passed
to the tracker. Statistics characterizing bad reports are not available;
however, it is generally agreed that the credibility check should be
designed to reject isolated bad reports with an altitude error of 300 ft
or more whenever possible.
## Analysis
The width of credibility window used by the 100-ft and 25-ft altitude
trackers once the track has been initialized (i.e., after the first 5
seconds of the track's live) is controlled by two parameters, CREDZDERR,
which characterizes the largest credible error in the altitude rate
estimate, and CREDACCDIV2, which characterizes the largest credible
instantaneous acceleration. The current values of these two parameters
are CREDZDERR = 20 ft/s and CREDACCDIV2 = 8 ft/s^2^. Note that
CREDACCDIV2 in fact corresponds to one-half of the largest credible
acceleration during which the tracker is required to maintain track.
The new requirement for maintaining track during an acceleration of up
to 1.25g strongly suggests that the value of CREDACCDIV2 should be
changed to 20 ft/s^2^. It also suggests that the value of CREDZDERR may
also have to be increased. A first set of simulations were performed
after changing the value of CREDACCDIV2 as indicated, but without
changing the value of CREDZDERR. They showed that the ability of the
100-ft tracker to maintain track during accelerations peaking at 1.25g
was still weak (of the order of 70%). As a result, an increase to the
value of CREDZDERR seemed desirable.
Thus, the proposed change is to increase the values of CREDZDERR and
CREDACCDIV2 as follows: CREDZDERR = 30 ft/s and CREDACCDIV2 = 20
ft/s^2^.
Plots of the current and proposed windows as a function of the number of
successive coasts are shown in Figure 1. A plot of the credibility
window used in Version 6.04A is also shown. A "coast" is here defined as
a tracking cycle during which the track is coasted (i.e., the altitude
rate estimate is not updated) because either no altitude report was
received or the received altitude report was deemed not credible and
therefore rejected. Since all credibility windows are symmetric with
respect to zero, it is sufficient and convenient to plot their
half-widths instead of their total widths.
As the plot indicates, the ability of the credibility window to reject
bad altitude reports with an altitude error of 300 ft is limited to two
successive bad reports, or one bad report following one missing report.
Following the second coast, the half-width of the credibility window
becomes larger than 300 ft. However, the latter fact was also true with
the credibility window used in Version 6.04A.

## Simulation Results
The simulation results obtained with the proposed credibility window
using the worst-case scenario and various accelerations are shown in the
attached spreadsheet. Simulation results were also obtained for a less
extreme scenario in which the aircraft is initially level, then
accelerates to a vertical rate of 6,000 fpm.
As for the testing of the airdata-tracker (see Change Proposal to the
Airdata-Tracker Credibility Window for further details), the track
maintenance performance of the 100-ft and 25-ft trackers were examined
under three different conditions: (1) no bad altitude report, (2) one
bad altitude report at the worst possible time, and (3) two successive
bad altitude reports starting on a cycle randomly selected in an
interval beginning 8 cycles (seconds) before the beginning of the
acceleration and ending 8 cycles (seconds) after the end of the
acceleration. (In these simulations, a bad altitude report was a report
with a 5,000 ft error.)

## “Identification of Type Ia Supernovae at Redshift 1.3 and Beyond with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on HST”
- Riess, Strolger, Tonry et al
- astro-ph/0308185
## SN GO Piggyback Program
- subtraction within 6-18 hrs of GOODS repeat visit to identify candidates
- Keck and Magellan spectroscopy for most candidates with f850lp < 24 mag
- ACS (grism), NICMOS ToO follow-up if:
- host galaxy photometric redshift > 1.2
- UV deficit at host redshift
- 43 total Sne candidates reported in IAU Circulars
- 15 Sne Ia identified via UV deficit
## SNe Types
- Type I have no H2 Balmer lines near maximum
- Ia show silicon line at 6150; white dwarf progenitor
- scattering of UV off iron group metals => “UV deficit”
- Ib: no Si, but He 5876 (CC stripped of H)
- Ic: no Si or He (CC stripped of H and He)
- Type II show emission and/or absorption at Balmer hydrogen energies near max
- IIP plateau in intensity, magnitude varies widely
- IIL decline in linear fashion, ~2.5 mag fainter than Ia
- II-n have narrow features in spectrum
- All but Ia are core collapse of massive stars
- also have weak UV,
- but less common
- than II, and fainter
## Typical Light Curves(Filippenko, AARA 1997)
## Fig. 1: blue = SNII, green = SNII, red = SNIa
- Si(6150)
- Purity of Ia sample
- identified with UV
- deficit signature
- is estimated at 90%
- for z > 1
## includes R=100
- grism
## obs = rest (1 + z)
- obs = rest (1 + z)
- for z=1, Balmer lines
- have obs < 8000 angstroms
## Fig. 3: SN Ia 2002fw (z=1.3) observed in ACS grism (red curve) and SNIa 1981B with hi-res spectroscopy
- CaII
- SiII(4120)
## ACS Filters
- f850lp
- used for image reference and discovery exposures
- survey limit ~25.8 mag
- 8000 - 10000 A covers B band for z ~ 1
- f775w
- used for follow-up of lower redshift objects
- 7000 -8500 covers B band for z ~ 0.7
- f606w
- narrow band at 6000 A
- Colors are used to identify SN Ia for z > 1
- f775w-f850lp ( i - z)
- f606w - f850lp (v - z)
## Fig. 2: Colors of Ia and II vs redshift ( from SEDs of Fig 1) and
- observed colors of 15 confirmed Ia’s
- f775w - f850lp
- f660w - f850lp
- UV deficit ID
- spectroscopic conf
## 0.2 < z< 1
- 4 SNe spectroscopically confirmed on ground
- 3 SNe confirmed with ACS grism
- but f606w bandpass is redward of 330 nm at z<1, so do not sample UV region and cannot use colors for Ia type identification
## 1 < z < 1.5
- 5 candidates had colors and host photo-z’s consistent with Ia and inconsistent with II
- ACS bandpasses sample UV region
- 4 of 5 were spectroscopically confirmed
## z > 1.5
- 2 candidates with colors and photo-z’s consistent with Ia
- f775w-f850lp between 2 and 2.5 mag
- absent in f606w to detection limit; f606w-f850lp > 3.2 mag
## Conclusions of Paper
- UV deficit is a useful tool to discriminate SNeI from Sne II at z > 1.
- MC simulations indicate < 10% false ID; no details shown in this paper
- Can also calculate likelihood of mis-ID for each candidate; not included in this paper
- No colors shown for non-Ia SNe
- To obtain light curves (needed to constrain epoch of observations, determine extinction via color excess, and to calibrate peak magnitude) requires near-IR observations with NICMOS. | en |

**Happy Birthday, George Washington!**
Imagine a cold day **in the past** in late February. It was more than
275 years ago. It was lambing season at the Popes Creek Plantation on
the Northern Neck of Virginia. That's when the baby lambs were being
born. It was 1732 and Mary and Augustine Washington were looking forward
to the birth of their own baby. In a little house overlooking the water,
Mary had a little boy on February 22. She named him George: George
Washington.
![](media/image10.jpeg){width="1.83125in" height="2.75in"}
George Washington grew up to do many great things to help our country
get started. He led the army in the Revolutionary War. This war caused
our country to be separate from England. George Washington became a
national hero, somebody that people looked up to. He also became the
first president of our country. He helped our country get started, just
like fathers help children get a good start in life. That's why he's
called the **Father of Our Country**.
![](media/image11.png){width="2.3375in" height="1.75in"}Before George
Washington did all these great things, he was a child just like most
other children of his time. We call the time in the past when George was
a child the **colonial times**. The Popes Creek plantation where George
was born later became a national park that we can all visit. When you
come to the park, look for ways that life was different in the **past**.
What do you think has **changed**?
Popes Creek Plantation was like a small town, or a **community**. George
Washington's ***family***, servants and slaves raised everything for
their **basic needs** on the plantation. These were the things they
needed to live, like food, clothing, and shelter. Gardens were important
on the plantation because there were no grocery stores. Peas, carrots,
beets, cabbages and squash were part of the garden when George
Washington was a child. The people living on the plantation wanted to
avoid **scarcity**![](media/image12.png){width="2.35in"
height="1.761111111111111in"}, or not having enough.
The Washingtons and their slaves grew tobacco on the Popes Creek
Plantation. Most of their neighbors grew tobacco too. Virginia was a
good place for colonists like the Washingtons to settle. There were lots
of **natural resources** here, like good soil that would grow tobacco,
waterways that could be used for **transportation**, and plants that
could be used for food, medicine and even clothing.
![](media/image13.jpeg){width="1.5208333333333333in"
height="2.0208333333333335in"}
Tobacco could be used instead of **money**. Colonists could trade
tobacco for things they wanted to buy. This is called **bartering**. The
Washingtons **bartered** their tobacco for fine clothes, spices, glass,
medicines and tools from England. Some of these were things they
**needed** and some were things they **wanted**. What's the difference?
![](media/image14.jpeg){width="2.5in" height="1.65625in"}Are you looking
forward to seeing animals when you visit the park? The colonial farm
you'll see when you visit the park is almost like it was when George
Washington was a child there in the **past**. Animals had a lot of space
and a lot of people to take care of them, mostly slaves. In the
**present**, there are only a few workers on factory farms and the
animals are crowded.
![](media/image15.jpeg){width="1.7916666666666667in"
height="1.2069444444444444in"}
Just like when George Washington was a child, there are wild animals at
the park today. You might see deer, squirrels, snakes, swans, rabbits,
foxes, woodchucks, turtles, lizards, eagles, or raccoons.
![](media/image16.jpeg){width="1.9458333333333333in"
height="1.3027777777777778in"}
![](media/image18.jpeg){width="1.6388888888888888in"
height="1.2277777777777779in"}You'll also see domestic, or farmed,
animals. They are different from wild animals. Farmed animals depend on
us to take care of them. They are much like your pet cats or dogs at
home. They are smart, they recognize each other, and they can be happy
or sad, contented or scared. They can't live in the wild. Instead they
count on us to feed them and treat them well.
![](media/image19.jpeg){width="1.8333333333333333in"
height="1.375in"}There were many more farmed animals on the plantation
in the **past** when George Washington was a child. Pigs are very smart
and curious. When George was a child, they roamed free. They found
roots, nuts and other food to eat under the trees and around the
plantation grounds. Sheep recognize their own babies, even in a large
flock. They have feelings just like your dog or cat. Sheep are afraid of
predators, happy to get attention, and get upset if they're separated
from ones they know.
![](media/image21.jpeg){width="1.8430555555555554in"
height="1.382638888888889in"}
![](media/image23.jpeg){width="2.375in" height="1.78125in"}Horses were
George's favorite. His father had over 40 horses on this plantation.
George was an excellent rider. Horses and boats were the best ways to
travel when George was little. They were used for transportation. The
Washingtons kept chickens too. Chickens are very gentle animals. They
need to scratch in the grass outside to find food. In the **past**,
colonists needed to eat animals and their milk and eggs for food. In the
**present**, we have many other choices for our **basic needs**. Cows
give milk that their babies need to survive. When George was a child,
all cows had horns. Now people cut cows' horns off, even though it
hurts. The older boy cattle are oxen: they're very strong. When George
was a child, farmers used oxen to pull carts.
![](media/image24.jpeg){width="1.8611111111111112in"
height="2.7916666666666665in"}The colonists made many of the things they
needed, such as tools. A blacksmith made iron tools such as hooks,
nails, spoons, and screwdrivers on a forge, which is like a giant
fireplace. The Washingtons' slaves cooked the **family's** food over a
wood fire. The kitchen was in a separate building from the house, in
case it caught on fire.
![](media/image25.jpeg){width="2.4034722222222222in"
height="3.6597222222222223in"}
There are many stories about George Washington as a child. The story of
George Washington chopping down the cherry tree probably did not happen.
It probably is ***make believe***. However, other stories are . What is
the difference between ***make*** ***believe*** and ***real*** stories?
Do you like it when people remember your birthday? We remember the
birthdays of people that are important to us: our friends, our families,
and our heroes. In the **present**, we remember George Washington's
birthday each year because he was so important to our country.
![](media/image26.jpeg){width="2.225in" height="1.66875in"}George
Washington Birthplace National Memorial is a national park. It protects
the place where George Washington was born and spent his younger years.
The park protects plants and animals like the ones George knew when he
was here. The park helps us think of George Washington. His story is
part of our country's **history**, or **past**. You can celebrate the
birthday of **The Father of Our Country** any day just by visiting the
park.
