Commission Guidance Regarding Client Commission Practices Under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The Securities and Exchange Commission is publishing for comment this interpretive release with respect to client commission practices under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''). Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act establishes a safe harbor that allows money managers to use client funds to purchase ``brokerage and research services'' for their managed accounts under certain circumstances without breaching their fiduciary duties to clients. In light of the Commission's experience with Section 28(e) and in recognition of changing market conditions, the Commission is proposing to provide further guidance on money managers' use of client assets to pay for research and brokerage services under Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. This release also reiterates the statutory requirement that money managers must make a good faith determination that commissions paid are reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided by broker-dealers and that broker- dealers must be financially responsible for the brokerage and research products that they provide to money managers and must be involved in ``effecting'' the trade.
Strategic Advisory Group Meeting of the U.S. Strategic Command
The Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) will meet in a closed session on December 8 and 9, 2005. The mission of the SAG is to provide timely advice on scientific, intelligence, technical, and policy- related issues to the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, during the development of the Nation's strategic war plans. Full development of the topics will require discussion of information classified in accordance with Executive Order 12958, dated April 17, 1995, as amended March 25, 2003. Access to this information must be strictly limited to personnel having the requisite security clearances and the specific need-to-know. Unauthorized disclosure of the information to be discussed at the TAG meeting could cause serious damage to our national defense. In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C., App. 2), it has been determined that this SAG meeting concerns matters listed in 5 U.S.C. Section 552b(c), and that, accordingly, this meeting will be closed to the public.

Preparation of Environmental Impact Statement for the Downtown Birmingham/University of Alabama Birmingham Activity Centers (a.k.a. In-town Transit Partnership Project)
The Federal Transit Administration and the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham are conducting an alternatives analysis and preparing a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for transit improvements in the Downtown Birmingham/University of Alabama Birmingham Activity Centers. The FTA is the lead federal agency and the DEIS will be prepared in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the applicable regulations for implementing NEPA, as set forth in 23 CFR part 771 and 40 CFR parts 1500-1508, as well as applicable laws and regulations including section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, the Clean Air Act, and Executive Order 12898 on Environmental Justice. The project will consider the following alternatives: (1) A No- Build Alternative consisting of improvements included in the Birmingham MPO 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan; (2) Transportation System Management (TSM) Alternative that includes all reasonable cost- effective transit service improvements in the study area short of the major investment in a New starts project; (3) Build Alternative: Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project using rubber tired vehicles operating either in mixed traffic or along an exclusive right-of-way; and (4) Build Alternative: Streetcar using light rail technology operating along tracks embedded in the pavement operating in either mixed traffic or along an exclusive right-of-way. The type, location, and need for ancillary facilities such as maintenance facilities will also be considered for each alternative. In addition, alternatives that are identified during the scoping process will be evaluated in the AA. Scoping will be accomplished through correspondence and discussions with interested persons; organizations; and Federal, State, and local agencies; and through public and agency meetings. Depending on the outcome of the scoping process and the analysis of a range of transit alternatives in the DEIS, a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) will be selected and addressed in the Final EIS (FEIS). The FEIS will address the potential impacts of the selected investment strategy and a No- Build Alternative.

Wet Lease Policy Guidance
It has long been contrary to Federal Aviation Regulations for an air carrier to ``wet lease'' an aircraft from an individual or entity that is not separately authorized to engage in common carriage. By this notice, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeks comment on proposed policy guidance identifying those commercial arrangements that would be considered to be unlawful wet lease arrangements under these regulations as well as those that would be permissible. Additionally, we seek comment on our proposed treatment of certain other commercial arrangements between air carriers and aircraft owners thatwhile not amounting to illegal wet leasescould nevertheless result in the air carrier impermissibly ceding operational control of flight to non-certificated entities.

Airworthiness Directives; Gippsland Aeronautics Pty. Ltd. Model GA8 Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gippsland Aeronautics Pty. Ltd. (Gippsland) Model GA8 airplanes. This AD requires you to repetitively inspect the upper and lower grooves of the forward cargo door slide for cracks, excessive wear, and excessive width. This AD also requires you to replace the forward cargo door slide if any of the above conditions are found during any inspection. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the airworthiness authority for Australia. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the forward cargo door slide caused by cracks, excessive wear, or excessive width. This failure could result in the cargo door detaching from the airplane in flight, potentially causing damage by hitting the back end of the airplane.

Preliminary Results of Five-year Sunset Review of Suspended Antidumping Duty Investigation on Ammonium Nitrate from the Russian Federation
On April 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on ammonium nitrate from the Russian Federation (``Russia'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). See Notice of Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 16800, (April 1, 2005) (``Initiation Notice''). On the basis of notices of intent to participate filed on behalf of domestic interested parties and adequate substantive comments filed on behalf of domestic and respondent interested parties, the Department is conducting a full (240-day) review. As a result of this review, the Department preliminarily finds that termination of the suspended antidumping duty investigation on ammonium nitrate from Russia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the Preliminary Results of Review section of this notice.
