About the foresight gained Sample Clauses

About the foresight gained. The complexity of the undertaking and the difficulty in navigating the combinations of physical and analysis factors to be considered was itself a lesson regarding the complexity of making judgements about SbD for nanomaterial uses in general. The expertise disciplines, application areas, and stakeholder perspectives alone were challenging to navigate. Adding a layer of foresight regarding markets and regulatory policies on top of this complexity is a further challenge. Therefore, a lesson learned regarding foresight for SbD application to MNM uses is that general principles applied to all future nanomaterial uses at any particular SbD decision step are probably rare. Furthermore, general statements about sufficiencies and gaps in methods or management capabilities should be taken as broad advice about avarages with a clear expectation that the exceptions will be many. For example, decisions to shift research funding proportionately to a greater emphasis on exposure through environmental pathways may follow from the expert advice about averages in the current Delphi forum. However, dramatic shifts and categorical exclusion of toxicology research would not be called for from these results. Approaches to address complexity as new materials and new understanding emerges appears to call for a stepwise decision process, like SbD, where each step considers the context for the use and the implications of alternative material and use choices. Foresight for methods needs to support this would seem to favour understanding of exposure in step with understanding of hazard. The clear implication of many of the responses and comments in the Delphi forum was that support of SbD decision steps for future use developments may face exposure uncertainties that preclude decisions of risk.

  • How Are Distributions From a Traditional IRA Taxed for Federal Income Tax Purposes Amounts distributed to you are generally includable in your gross income in the taxable year you receive them and are taxable as ordinary income. To the extent, however, that any part of a distribution constitutes a return of your nondeductible contributions, it will not be included in your income. The amount of any distribution excludable from income is the portion that bears the same ratio as your aggregate non-deductible contributions bear to the balance of your Traditional IRA at the end of the year (calculated after adding back distributions during the year). For this purpose, all of your Traditional IRAs are treated as a single Traditional IRA. Furthermore, all distributions from a Traditional IRA during a taxable year are to be treated as one distribution. The aggregate amount of distributions excludable from income for all years cannot exceed the aggregate non-deductible contributions for all calendar years. You must elect the withholding treatment of your distribution, as described in paragraph 22 below. No distribution to you or anyone else from a Traditional IRA can qualify for capital gains treatment under the federal income tax laws. Similarly, you are not entitled to the special five- or ten-year averaging rule for lump-sum distributions that may be available to persons receiving distributions from certain other types of retirement plans. Historically, so-called “excess distributions” to you as well as “excess accumulations” remaining in your account as of your date of death were subject to additional taxes. These additional taxes no longer apply. Any distribution that is properly rolled over will not be includable in your gross income.
