Regulator purchasing

Specifications for raw cane sugar are set by purchase contracts. There are no international specifications, although the Codex JUimentarius is composing a draft specification. Because raw sugar is not sold as a food product in the United States (it is transported in bulk, like grain or coal), it is not subject to food regulations. Purchase contracts outside the United States are generady based only on pol U.S. contracts are discussed in the Hterature (6). 

An air bag from a 1991 Chevy was tom down in preparation for this book. As presently constructed, air bag detonators are sealed in such a manner that their removal and deployment is an arduous, often unrewarding Chore. At 800 each as dealer replacement parts, these caps are probably not practical for this use. Nevertheless, it seems typically inconsistent for the government to attempt to regulate purchase of blasting caps and then require that between one and four of them be permanently mounted in a vehicle carrying one s family about town. 1 won t even aDow my wife and children to ride in the same vehicle with commercial blasting caps ... 

Cla.ssifica.tlon, In commerce, several classifications of flavoring and compounded flavorings are Hsted according to composition to allow the user to conform to state and federal food regulations and labeling requirements, as well as to show their proper appHcation. Both suppHer and purchaser are subject to the control of the FDA, USD A, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). The latter regulates the alcohoHc content of flavors and the tax drawbacks on alcohol, ie, return of a portion of the tax paid on ethyl alcohol used in flavoring. 

DMF can be purchased ia steel dmms (DOT 17E, UNlAl, 410 lbs net = 186 kg), tank tmcks, and railcars. On Oct. 1, 1993, new regulations in the United States were estabUshed for DMF under HM-181 the official shipping name is /V, /V- dim ethyl form am i de (shipping designation UN 2265, Packing Group III, Flammable Liquid). Formerly, it was classified as a Combustible Liquid in bulk quantities, but as "Not Regulated" in dmms (49 CFR). International overseas shipments have an IMCO classification of 3.3. 

Vehicle manufacturers must build cars and tmcks that operate well on available fuels. They also specify the fuel requirements of their vehicles. Euel marketers must produce fuels that operate in both new and old vehicles. The consumer, the purchaser of the fuel and the vehicle, wants the fuel to be affordable, readily available, and able to provide a high level of performance. Regulators check that fuels are labeled properly and meaninghilly and that no unwarranted claims are made. They also regulate emissions from vehicles as well as the fuels used. 

U.S. regulations define two types of gin distilled gin and compounded gin. Distilled gin is produced from the original mash or the redistikation of neutral spirits with juniper berries and other botanicals. Distiked gin may retain this labeling as long as juniper berries are present during distikation and other aromatics used in the formula may be added as Hquid concentrates purchased or produced by the distiker. 

Completely Denatured Alcohol. Completely denatured alcohol (CD A) escapes the involved financial and administrative controls required of the other classifications of industrial ethanol. No tax is appHed, no bond is required, no permit is needed to enable a customer to purchase CD A. Requirements for records by both producer and user are minimal. These simplified regulations are possible because CDA is denatured with substances that render it totally unfit for beverage purposes. It is also unsuitable where odor is objectionable. CDA and products made from it are, however, governed by special labeling requirements of the BATE. Repackaging of completely denatured alcohol is permitted as long as labeling requirements are met. 

The submitters used a transformer purchased from the Franklin Transformer Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota, for 25-30. It was provided with taps so that secondary voltages of 5500, 6600, 7700, 8800, 9900, and 11,000 could be obtained. These transformers do not always deliver the rated voltage and hence should be calibrated by actual measurement. The checkers used a luminous tube transformer obtained from the Jefferson Electric Company, Bellwood, Illinois, Cat. No. 721-411. Cap. 825 VA. Primary 115 V.A.C. 60 cycles. Secondary 15,000 V. 60 M.A. Price 19.60. The variable transformer used to regulate the voltage should be rated at 7.5 amperes and may be a Varitran, Adjustavolt, or Variac. 

Efficiency of the control equipment is normally specified before the equipment is purchased. If a plant is emitting a pollutant at 500 kg/rir and the regulations allow an emission of only 25 kg/hr, it is obvious that at least 95% efficiency is required of the pollution control system. This situation requires the regulation to state "at least 95% removal on a weight basis." The regulation should further specify how the test will be made to determine the efficiency. Figure 28-4 shows the situation as it exists. 

The first major federal regulatory event affecting natural gas pipelines was the Natural Gas Act of 1938, which gave the Federal Power Commission jurisdiction to regulate three areas (1) pipeline sales of gas purchased from producers and resold to local distribution companies in interstate commerce (2) transportation m interstate commerce and (3) the facilities used for such sales and such transportation. 

Further government regulation that totally changed how natural gas was distributed resolved this difficulty. Historically, pipeline companies were required to act as purchasers and resellers of gas. The new approach ol the 1980s limited pipelines to selling transmission seiwices. Customers of the pipelines purchase the gas directly from producers. By exiting from gas purchasing, the pipelines could similarly hack out of unattractive contracts. 

Inspection is also an important activity in the regulation of international trade through the certification of vehicles and containers used for transporting hazardous products and for providing foreign purchasers with evidence that manufactured goods comply with specification before they leave the country of origin. The essential characteristics of and requirements for an inspection authority are ... 

Other inspection services available include the examination of steel structures (new and existing), electrical wiring installations, containers (to meet Statutory Instm-ment No. 1890), dangerous substances (carriage by road in road tankers or tank containers) to meet Statutory Instmment No. 1059, examination of second-hand plant prior to purchase, plant undergoing repair or modification, the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazard Regulations (CIMAH) Statutory Instmment No. 1902 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and Pressure Systems Regulations. 

Tliis law, passed in 1914, regulated the sale of narcotic drugp. Before the passage of this act, any narcotic could be purchased without a prescription. This law was amended many times. In 1970, the Harrison Narcotic Act was replaced with the passage of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act.
