NOAA FISHERIES DESIGNED ASM PROGRAM. 1. BACKGROUND OVERVIEW 33 The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration ’s (NOAA) mission is to 34 understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and conserve and manage coastal 35 and marine resources to meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. NOAA’s 36 National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) supports the overall NOAA mission by focusing on 37 stewardship of living marine resources through science‐based conservation and management 38 and the promotion of healthy ecosystems. 39 NMFS is responsible for the management, regulatory compliance, economic data and protection 40 of living marine resources within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone. NMFS also plays a 41 supportive and advisory role in the management of living marine resources in coastal areas 1 under state jurisdiction. It provides scientific and policy leadership in the international arena, 2 and implements international conservation and management measures as appropriate. Under 3 this mission, the goal is to optimize the benefits of living marine resources to the Nation through 4 sound science and management. This requires a balancing of multiple public needs and 5 interests in the sustainable benefits and use of living marine resources, without compromising 6 the long‐term biological integrity of coastal and marine ecosystems. Many natural and human‐ 7 related factors affect the status of fish stocks, protected species and ecosystems. Although 8 these factors cannot all be controlled, available scientific and management tools enable the 9 agency to have a strong influence on many of them. Maintaining and improving the health and 10 productivity of these species is the heart of the NMFS mission. These activities will maintain and 11 enhance current and future opportunities for the sustainable use of living marine resources as 12 well as the health and biodiversity of their ecosystems.

  • Unbundled Copper Loop – Non-Designed (UCL-ND 2.4.3.1 The UCL–ND is provisioned as a dedicated 2-wire metallic transmission facility from AT&T’s Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to a customer’s premises (including the NID). The UCL-ND will be a “dry copper” facility in that it will not have any intervening equipment such as load coils, repeaters, or digital access main lines (DAMLs), and may have up to six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap between the End User’s premises and the serving wire center. The UCL-ND typically will be thirteen hundred (1300) Ohms resistance and in most cases will not exceed eighteen thousand (18,000) feet in length, although the UCL-ND will not have a specific length limitation. For Loops less than eighteen thousand (18,000) feet and with less than thirteen hundred (1300) Ohms resistance, the Loop will provide a voice grade transmission channel suitable for Loop start signaling and the transport of analog voice grade signals. The UCL-ND will not be designed and will not be provisioned with either a DLR or a test point. 2.4.3.2 The UCL-ND facilities may be mechanically assigned using AT&T’s assignment systems. Therefore, the Loop Makeup (LMU) process is not required to order and provision the UCL-ND. However, Covad can request LMU based on existing procedures for LMU on other Loop types, for which additional charges would apply. 2.4.3.3 For an additional charge, AT&T also will make available Loop Testing so that Covad may request further testing on the UCL-ND. Rates for Loop Testing are as set forth in Exhibit A. 2.4.3.4 UCL-ND Loops are not intended to support any particular service and may be utilized by Covad to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services as long as those services do not adversely affect AT&T’s network. The UCL-ND will include a NID at the customer’s location for the purpose of connecting the Loop to the customer’s inside wire. 2.4.3.5 OC will be provided as a chargeable option and may be utilized when the UCL-ND provisioning is associated with the reuse of AT&T facilities. OC-TS does not apply to this product.

  • Unbundled Copper Loop – Designed (UCL-D) 2.4.2.1 The UCL-D will be provisioned as a dry copper twisted pair (2- or 4-wire) Loop that is unencumbered by any intervening equipment (e.g., filters, load coils, range extenders, digital loop carrier, or repeaters). 2.4.2.2 A UCL-D will be 18,000 feet or less in length and is provisioned according to Resistance Design parameters, may have up to 6,000 feet of bridged tap and will have up to 1300 Ohms of resistance. 2.4.2.3 The UCL-D is a designed circuit, is provisioned with a test point, and comes standard with a DLR. OC is a chargeable option for a UCL-D; however, OC is always required on UCLs where a reuse of existing facilities has been requested by Azul Tel. 2.4.2.4 These Loops are not intended to support any particular services and may be utilized by Azul Tel to provide a wide-range of telecommunications services as long as those services do not adversely affect BellSouth’s network. This facility will include a Network Interface Device (NID) at the customer’s location for the purpose of connecting the Loop to the customer’s inside wire. 2.4.2.5 Upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, Unbundled Copper Loop – Long (UCL-L) elements will no longer be offered by BellSouth and no new orders for UCL-L will be accepted. Any existing UCL-Ls that were provisioned prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement will be grandfathered at the rates set forth in the Parties’ interconnection agreement that was in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. Existing UCL-Ls that were provisioned prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement may remain connected, maintained and repaired according to BellSouth’s TR73600 and may remain connected until such time as they are disconnected by Azul Tel or BellSouth provides ninety (90) calendar days notice that such UCL-L must be terminated.

  • Training and Professional Development 11.1 The Employer will develop and maintain an employee training and development plan and provide such plan to the Union upon request. Staff training is intended to provide an opportunity for classified staff employees for training sponsored by the University Training and Development and the UW Medical Centers Organizational Development and Training. Education/Professional Leave is intended to facilitate employee access to continuing education opportunities. Training and educational/professional leave may be used for the purpose of improving job performance, maintaining and increasing proficiency, preparing staff for greater responsibility, or increasing promotional opportunities within the framework of staff positions available at the University. 11.2 Any release time for training for employees accepted for such classes shall be in accordance with the Executive Order (currently No. 52) governing this matter. In the event that two or more employees request the same training period and supervision must limit the number of persons who may participate at one time due to work requirements, the selection will be made on a mutually agreeable basis within the department. 11.3 The training program is a proper subject for discussion by either departmental or University-wide Joint Union/Management Committees. 11.4 If the Employer requires an employee to receive training, reimbursement will be provided in accordance with the University travel rules. Employee attendance at Employer required training, either during or outside working hours, will be considered time worked and compensated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 11.5 Employee attendance at training not required by the Employer and not covered by Executive Order 52, either on approved leave from or outside of working hours, will be voluntary and not considered time worked.
