Summary and Recommendations. 3.1 Summary The aim of the task 6.3 was to formulate recommendations to support deinstitutionalisation and to promote, and sustain, the development of community living for all people with disabilities. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability (UN CRPD), Article 19, states that supporting disabled people to live in the community as equal citizens is an issue of human rights. In addition, living in the community and not in congregative settings such in institutions is a key pre-requisite for Active Citizenship. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx- Xxxxx, et al (2010)5 noted that institutions were originally defined in general as large 4 Xxxxxxx J, Xxxxx M, Xxxxxx-Xxxxx J and Xxxxxxx, J (2007).

Summary and Recommendations. Based on its review, the appraisal team recommends continuation of the existing cooperative agreement between the NRC and the State of Wisconsin. Overall, the program has operated well and satisfied the objectives and conditions of the agreement. Improvements have been made since the previous NRC appraisal (January 1985). The gamma-counting procedure has been completed and implemented. The laboratory moved to more spacious quarters, and the data management system has been expanded and computerized. The report production has been simplified by accumulating the data in spreadsheets; the reports have been submitted in a timely manner. | | , =
Summary and Recommendations. Cultural resource assessments associated with the proposed Port MacKenzie Rail Extension project, a federal undertaking, would involve an integrated process for satisfying NEPA and Section 106. The NEPA documentation would include a description of the affected environment, based on predictive modeling, with a description of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects from the proposed project on cultural resources. This level of analysis would provide an effective means for comparing the potential impacts of different project alternatives and provide mitigation strategies for addressing adverse impacts to cultural resources from the proposed project. As part of the NEPA process, a ground truthing survey will be conducted in Summer 2008. The ground truthing survey will focus on a sample of areas with high and/or medium potential for cultural resources for all proposed project alternatives. A report describing the probability method, ground truthing survey method and survey results will be submitted to SHPO following completion of the surveys. The results will be the basis for the EIS chapters on affected environment and environmental consequences. The subsequent completion of the Section 106 assessment will include a review of available information regarding cultural resources, consultation, field surveys with subsurface testing in areas not surveyed during ground truthing, and determinations of eligibility for the NRHP for any cultural resource that could be affected by the proposed project. This report will be submitted to SHPO for their review and concurrence prior to the start of any project construction.

Summary and Recommendations. The development impact fees of $974 per single family residential dwelling unit, $825 per multifamily residential dwelling unit, and $0.81 per non-residential square foot that BBC recommends for FFFPD’s consideration represent maximum defensible amounts, and we recognize that the District may choose not to adopt fees as high as those amounts. BBC offers the following recommendations: ⯀ FFFPD should maintain its impact fee fund separate and apart from its general fund and make withdrawals from the former only to pay for growth-related infrastructure. ⯀ FFFPD should adhere to a written policy governing its expenditure of monies from its impact fee fund. The District should be prohibited from paying for operational expenses with impact fees, including the repair and replacement of existing infrastructure not necessitated by growth. In cases when FFFPD expects new infrastructure to partially replace existing capacity and to partially serve new growth, cost sharing between its general fund (or capital fund) and its impact fee fund should be allowed on a proportional basis as determined by the District’s board. ⯀ FFFPD’s impact fees should be updated periodically as it invests in additional infrastructure beyond what is listed in this report or the District’s population or inventory of commercial square footage changes substantially. ⯀ FFFPD’s fees should be updated annually based on established inflation indices, such as the Consumer Price Index or the Engineering News Record.

Summary and Recommendations. The implementation of the CARIFORUM-EU economic partnership agreement will pose some challenges for the region. Many of these challenges are not new especially since most CARIFORUM States are already members of the WTO and have otherwise committed themselves to a process of trade liberalization. This is one context of which the EPA must be kept in mind when trying to access its merits. It involves a high degree of liberalization on the part of CARICOM States in both goods and services over an extended period of time. Also, smaller States will have to shift away to more indirect taxes rather than tariffs. The example of Mauritius is cited as a case in which this was successfully done, and can be emulated. CARIFORUM States will have to significantly improve their production processes and technical know-how in order to fully take advantage of the greater access to EU markets. Some improvement in the rules of origin may also serve to boost exports to the EU for certain products. There are numerous clauses in the agreement that can be used in order to safeguard domestic producers and labour. The challenge will be to insist that these be invoked in cases of injury to the domestic market, or social dislocation brought about by surges in imports. On the other hand, there are those who firmly believe that the agreement does not go far enough. For example, to support regional integration, the EPA provisions should not only stop at references to regional integration, but should systematically aim to attract FDI into the East African Community (EAC) region in line with the priorities of the region (Mangeni, 2008, p. 23).17 There also could be a strengthening of the dispute settlement facility by insisting that all matters be resolved internally, not just those relating to safeguards.
Summary and Recommendations. The primary goal of this report is to inform the ProSafe White Paper. Therefore, each of the recommendations in this section should be taken in light of the intentions of the overall ProSafe project outcomes and how they would feed into development of actions and policies to support implementation of SbD approaches for MNM uses.

Summary and Recommendations. This SRA identifies the research lines to be pursued in order to ensure that suitable structural and fuel materials are available for the design, licensing, construction and safe long-term operation of GenIV systems, with emphasis on the fast neutron spectrum systems considered in ESNII, namely SFR, HLM-cooled systems (ADS and LFR), and GFR. These create more fuel than they burn and operate at high temperature using passive safety systems, so increasing enormously the sustainable use of resources and guaranteeing safe energy production for centuries, significantly reducing waste production. The materials considered here cover as priority the needs of the ESNII prototypes and demonstrators, but attention is put also on materials solutions that are intended for FOAK and commercial GenIV systems, in which higher energy efficiency and longer burnups than in the prototypes are targeted. Importantly, the content of this SRA is fully consistent with other relevant strategic documents and roadmaps compiled by other platforms and in other frameworks. The research activities are organized in blocks that result from the application, for structural and fuel materials, of a well-established materials science approach based on the combination of three classes of activities: (1) materials testing and characterization for full qualification and definition of design rules in a pre-normative spirit; (2) development of mechanistic and physical models in support of materials behaviour correlations used in design rules and improvement of materials properties; (3) development of advanced materials through experimental screening of solutions, also assisted by models rooted in the understanding of the physical processes that govern materials behaviour. Effort has been devoted to identify issues addressed in a GenIV materials research framework that are also of common interest for other nuclear and also non-nuclear energy technologies. This is done with a view to optimising the use of available resources, whenever possible, by joining forces with other research communities. The document addresses also issues that are necessary corollaries to the proposed research activities, namely: infrastructures needed, need for education and training and mobility schemes, industry and regulators involvement, importance of international cooperation, estimate of resources required. Concerning the latter issues, and besides the obvious need of adequate financial resources in order to address the ...
