Understanding a sham: when is recycling, treatment?
Article Abstract:
The EPA, in enforcing the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, has failed to adopt standards to distinguish hazardous waste treatment facilities, which require operational licenses, from recycling facilities, which can operate independently as long as engaged in hazardous waste conversion. The EPA's omission encourages hazardous waste facilities to call themselves recyclers to avoid the stringent and costly environmental regulations they would otherwise have to meet. Such "recycling facilities" must be brought under EPA monitoring to ensure safe burning, storing and disposal of hazardous wastes.

It's a bird, it's a plane - what is it? Understanding Customs classifications
Article Abstract:
Apple Computer, Inc v United States provided a test case for importers who are planning to oppose their goods classification under the Tariff Schedules of the US (TSUS). However, the US Court of International Trade used a very limited, narrow standard to classify imports which limits the ability of TSUS to encompass new technological developments. The Court used the eo nomine designation and noscitur a sociis to determine that x-y plotters were not drafting machines while a better reasoning would have used their 'chief use' and would have provided a clearer application to other cases.

Tuberculosis and HIV infection: utilization of public programs to fund treatment
Article Abstract:
Responses on questionnaires mailed to directors of state health departments were analyzed to determine the role of public programs in financing tuberculosis (TB) and HIV-related health services. The results revealed that public health departments in all of the states have followed the programs suggested by TB experts. This finding, together with the increase in funding for TB control and prevention from the federal government, accounted for the decrease in the number of reported TB cases.
