SSI Markings — Security plans must be marked as Security Sensitive Information (SSI) as required by 49 CFR 15.13. Security plans on paper must include the protective marking SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION at the top and the distribution limitation warning at the bottom of ... 

The distribution limitation warning must read as follows ... 

Non-paper security plans must be clearly and conspicuously marked with the protective marking and distribution limitation warning so that a viewer or listener is reasonably likely to see or hear them when obtaining access to the security plan. 

To determine the standard deviation for the warning and control limits, it is necessary to calculate the variance for each sample, sf. 

Statistical Factors for the Upper Warning Limit and Upper Control Limit... 

Interpreting Control Charts The purpose of a control chart is to determine if a system is in statistical control. This determination is made by examining the location of individual points in relation to the warning limits and the control limits, and the distribution of the points around the central line. If we assume that the data are normally distributed, then the probability of finding a point at any distance from the mean value can be determined from the normal distribution curve. The upper and lower control limits for a property control chart, for example, are set to +3S, which, if S is a good approximation for O, includes 99.74% of the data. The probability that a point will fall outside the UCL or LCL, therefore, is only 0.26%. The... 

The upper and lower warning limits, which are located at +2S, should only be exceeded by 5% of the data thus... 

The same rules apply to precision control charts with the exception that there are no lower warning and lower control limits. 

Another important quality assessment tool, which provides an ongoing evaluation of an analysis, is a control chart. A control chart plots a property, such as a spike recovery, as a function of time. Results exceeding warning and control limits, or unusual patterns of data indicate that an analysis is no longer under statistical control. 

Saccharin. Sacchatin [81-07-2] C H NO S, which is approximately 300 times as sweet as sucrose ia coaceatratioas up to the equivaleat of a 10% sucrose solutioa, has beea used commercially as a nonnutritive sweeteaer siace before 1900, predomiaanfly ia carboaated soft drioks, tabletop sweeteaers, and dietetic foods marketed primarily to diabetics. In 1977, the FDA proposed a ban on sacchatin because of its association with bladder cancer ia laboratory animals. At the time, it was the only commercially available nonnutritive sweetener, and pubflc outcry led to a delay of the ban, which was officially withdrawn ia 1991. Instead, the FDA required that warning labels be placed on all foods that contained the iagredient. Although sacchatin is heat stable, the pubflc debate over its safety, as well as the fact that approximately one-third of the population perceives it to have a bitter aftertaste, has limited its use. 

The TLV is set at 0.1 ppm (hydraziae) 0.2 ppm (MMH) and 0.5 ppm (UDMH). The TLV is weU below the olfactory limit of 3—5 ppm (hydraziae). The latter does aot provide adequate warning when exposure exceeds the TLV therefore, monitoring the working environment by suitable means and providing adequate ventilation is necessary. 

Health and Safety. Halosilane vapors react with moist air to produce the respective hydrohalogen acid mist. Federal standards have not set exposure to halosilanes, but it is generally beheved that there is no serious risk if vapor concentrations are maintained below a level that produces an irritating concentration of acid mist. The exposure threshold limit value (TLV) for HCl is 5 ppm, expressed as a ceiling limit. Because most people experience odor and irritation at or below 5 ppm, HCl is considered to have good warning properties. 

Health and Safety Factors. Sulfur monochloride is highly toxic and irritating by inhalation, and is corrosive to skin and eyes (156). The OSHA permissible exposure limit is 1 ppm (6 mg/m ). Pulmonary edema may result from inhalation. Because its vapor cannot be tolerated even at low concentrations, its presence serves as a warning factor. Sulfur monochloride is not highly flammable, having flash poiats of 118°C (closed-cup) and 130°C (open-cup) and an auto-ignition temperature of 234°C. 

Inhalation. The threshold limit value of HCN is 4.7 ppm. This is defined as the maximum average safe exposure limit for a 15-min period by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Exposure to 20 ppm of HCN in air causes slight warning symptoms after several hours 50 ppm causes disturbances within an hour 100 ppm is dangerous for exposures of 30 to 60 min and 300 ppm can be rapidly fatal unless prompt, effective first aid is adininistered. There is always a small concentration of cyanide (0.02 to 0.04 mg/L) in the blood, and the body has a mechanism for continuous removal of small amounts, such as from smoking, by converting it to thiocyanate, which is discharged in the urine.
