The bench-scale experimentation and pilot-scale testing required to develop new flue gas treatment technology entail large expenditures. The funding sources available to meet this need are the state and federal governments, the combined utility industry through the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and the major boiler and flue gas treatment system manufacturers. Each must play a productive role in the conduct of this research. 

This market is being plagued by environmental constraints imposed by local, state, and federal governments. The key concerns of government regulators and consumers include ... 

Checklist techniques have been widely used. Lee and Rose (1971) proposed a system which utilizes a standardized survey form for use by local, state, and federal governments. The data were collected in a format which allowed for it to be coded and recorded on tape for future computer analysis. Erke et al. (1983) developed a checklist on occupational safety for use in military settings. Tuttle et al. (1974) provided a summary of checklists to aid independent observers in detecting potentially hazardous situations and in developing programs to eliminate them. Checklists cover such broad areas as the mental and physical demands of work, space requirements, the mental and physical demands of the work, information flow, environmental load, and the organization of work. 

In addition, the decreasing scientific hteracy among the U.S. general pubhc, in the national media, and in state and federal government raises concerns over the society s ability to assess and balance technological risks and rewards objectively, and to put them in perspective with other needs. 

In view of this, the Court noted The Framers rejected the concept of a central government that would act upon and through the States, and instead designed a system in which the State and Federal Governments would exercise concurrent authority over the people. The Federal Government s power would be augmented immeasurably and impermissibly if it were able to impress into its service—and at no cost to itself—the police officers of the 50 States. ... 

The HRM process is influenced by laws and regulations passed by local, state, and federal governments. These laws and regulations were put in place to protect workers from certain employer practices and biases. The Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 is the primary piece of legislation affecting HRM practices (Donnelly, Gibson, and Ivancevich, 1995). The act and subse-... 

There is a need to continue to perform research on methods of recycling tires, such as the use of crumb rubber in rubber products and plastics. Existing research on rubberized asphalt should be summarized, and a decision made regarding its feasibility for more widespread use, or if there are still technical or economic questions, determining exactly what additional research is needed to answer these questions, and then perform this research. States and Federal government, and environmental and transportation agencies, should coordinate research efforts so that fewer, more comprehensive research projects (particularly related to rubberized asphalt) can be performed. 

Education and promotion is an important component of any program to alleviate the problems of waste tires. Audiences that may need to be informed about one facet or another of the scrap tire problem include individual citizens, environmental groups, tire dealers, corporations, those who are or would like to be involved in businesses related to scrap tires, potential users of scrap tire material, and representatives of local, state and Federal government. 

The act established two goals in this area—having alternative fuels replace at least 10 percent of petroleum fuels in 2000 and at least 30 percent in 2010. The act mandated that a portion of new vehicles purchased for state and federal government fleets, as well... 

In 1996, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) set up a federal advisory committee composed of members with interests ranging from the environmental and agricultural communities to state and local governments. The committee s objective was to recommend ways to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state, territorial, tribal, and USEPA total maximum daily load (TMDL ) programs. 

The National Disaster Response Framework includes emergency management authorities, policies, procedures, and resources of local, state, and federal governments, as well as voluntary disaster relief agencies, the private sector, and international resources to provide assistance following a disaster. 

Planning is an ongoing feature of all Red Cross disaster activities. The Red Cross disaster response plan documents what it will take to respond to each type of disaster, what resources will be needed, how the resources will be coordinated and used, and contains policies, procedures, and protocols to ensure a systematic management of each facet of response, including those related to health (see Appendix I). The role of the Red Cross in disaster relief is that the Red Cross supplements the resources and services of the local, state, and federal government and does not override or substitute for the local, state, and federal governments responsihilities in times of disasters. The American Red Cross is not a first responder—all disasters are local—hut its services can be activated when the local need exceeds the availahle resources. 

Also called sanitarians, many environmental health inspectors work for local, state, and federal governments. They analyze air, water, and food to identify possible contaminants. They might inspect dairies, restaurants, hospitals, processing plants, and industries. When they find contaminants, they look for the source, stop the pollution, and require the polluter to clean it up. 

Advise federal, state and local governments, the private sector and other interested bodies regarding the quality, safety and regulatory provisions on foods drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, bottled water and chemicals. 

Either (-)-ephedrine or (+)-pseudoephedrine can be used to make methamphetamine by reductive dehalogenation using red phosphorus as a catalyst. If (-)-ephedrine is used as the starting material, the process will generate (+)-methamphetamine. If psuedoephedrine is used, the result will be dextromethamphetamine (136). As this synthetic route has become nearly universal, both state and federal governments have enacted laws limiting the amount of pure ephedrine or pseudoephedrine that can be purchased. 

The financial conundrum. There are a myriad of choices for funding the prescription benefit. Costs could be financed as they are right now with Part B participation. Beneficiaries and the government contribute to the benefit. Workers and retirees enrolled in employer-sponsored heath plans will have to be taken into account. Beneficiaries who are on Medicaid will present issues that the state and federal governments will have to resolve. Recent drug benefit proposals for the low-income participants have indicated a strong preference for full or partial subsidies for the premium payments and cost sharing for the prescriptions and pharmaceutical services utilized.
