FRANKFURT, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The euro zone's bank sector as a whole would remain relatively robust even in the case of a severe economic downturn, the European Central Bank said on Friday, as part of a biennial stress test of the bloc's top lenders.
Examining 33 of the currency bloc's banks, the ECB said that their common equity tier 1 capital (CET1) would fall 3.8 percentage point to 9.9 percent in a so-called adverse scenario, staying comfortably above the 5.5 percent level it considers acceptable.
The ECB did not publish results for individual lenders and said there is no particular threshold it would consider as failing but will use the data to set capital requirements for each bank as part of a regular review called SREP.
The last similar exercise two years ago indicated a capital depletion of 3.3 percentage point to 8.8 percent, but the current exercise is based on an even more severe.
"The larger capital depletion reflects not only a more severe macroeconomic scenario, but also the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standard 9," the ECB added.
The ECB is increasingly applying tailor-made capital requirements based on each bank's risk profile and plans to give lenders their new capital guidance sometime in January.
The stress test was part of a wider European Union exercise conducted in cooperation with the European Banking Authority (EBA), aimed at covering about 70 percent of the bloc's banking assets. The ECB also tested about 60 more banks but did not release figures for this part of the exercise.

Hillary Clinton makes a cameo in 'Murphy Brown' reboot
By Judy Kurtz - 09/27/18 11:00 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham ClintonHillary Clinton slams Trump rally: 'The time has come again' to fight for democracy Trump blasts minority Democrats, rally crowd chants 'send her back' The Memo: Democrats debate Trump response – 'Being righteous and losing sucks' MORE is trying out for a new job...as a secretary — making a surprise primetime TV cameo on the premiere of "Murphy Brown."
The CBS comedy returned on Thursday with actress Candice Bergen reprising her role as the show's television journalist titular character.
In the premiere episode, Brown is tasked with interviewing a candidate to be her secretary as she gears up to launch a new TV news program.
"Hello, I'm here to interview for the secretarial position," Clinton said to applause as she made her surprise appearance.
When Brown suggested she looked just like Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee replied in character, "I know, Hillary Clinton. I get that a lot. But my name's spelled with one 'L.'"
"I want you to know I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm qualified, and ready on day one," Clinton told Bergen's character.
"I also assume you've had previous secretarial experience?" asks Brown.
"Absolutely, for four years I was the secretary of a very — I was the secretary of a very large organization," the former secretary of State quipped.
Asked if she had computer and email experience, Clinton made a tongue-in-cheek reference to the controversy in 2016 surrounding her use of a private email server as secretary of State.
"Emails – I do have some experience with emails," said Clinton.
"Well you are very impressive — maybe a little overqualified," Brown remarked after meeting with Clinton, before reading a business card with an email address: "Hillary@youcouldvehadme.com."
There was some speculation that Clinton or another high-profile political figure could appear on the "Murphy Brown" launch.
Last month, creator Diane English teased that an "enormously famous person" would be making a cameo on the politically-charged show — which originally ran from 1988 to 1998 — but was mum about the VIP's identity.

October 2, 2017 will go down as 'one of those days' for emergency crews around east central Alberta as they coped with the aftermath of yesterday's storm.
Drumheller RCMP responded to more than 60 requests for assistance, mostly from motorists who became stranded when they couldn't proceed further.
"There were weather warnings and road condition warnings and people still elected to travel," noted Staff Sergeant Kevin Charles. "Even with comments to the media saying police don't recommend travel people still hit the roads and, unfortunately, many of them went into the ditch."
A social media comment mentioned vehicles that appeared to have been broken into after they were abandoned. Charles was not surprized.
"It's the same thing going back to the floods a few years ago," he recalled. "When we had the flooding in the valley and we had these criminals from, I think, the Calgary area who came out here and started doing break and enters in the evacuated areas."
"Again, that boils back to if you're leaving your vehicle make sure all your valuables are hidden or taken with you: don't leave them in your vehicle."


The highest honor went to Martin Lowery, board chairman of the National Cooperative Bank and executive vice president emeritus of NRECA.
The award, named in honor of NRECA's first CEO, honors those who have made exemplary contributions that promote the principles and progress of rural electrification and the development and use of natural resources.
Lowery, who was inducted into the Cooperative Hall of Fame in May 2014, is the elected U.S. representative to the board of the International Cooperative Alliance. He is chairman of the ICA's Principles Committee and serves on the Membership Committee.
Lowery also is NRECA's representative to the board of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, where he advocates for diplomacy and development as key to U.S. international affairs.
"Martin is extraordinarily dedicated to the cooperative purpose and stands out among the leaders within our industry," said former NRECA President Phil Carson. "His contribution to the success of NRECA and its members is unparalleled."
Lowery said it was "a great honor to receive this award and be recognized for contributing to a cause I care so deeply about."
Two co-op leaders dedicated to expanding rural broadband service won this award: Ken Johnson, former CEO and general manager of Co-Mo Electric Cooperative in Tipton, Missouri, and Bob Hance, president and CEO of Midwest Energy & Communications in Cassopolis, Michigan.
Johnson was honored for his role in creating Co-Mo Connect, which makes broadband service available in rural central Missouri.
"Ken is a standard-bearer and a wealth of knowledge for electric cooperatives that are working to bridge the digital divide," Carson said.
Hance was honored for his state and national advocacy on behalf of bringing high-speed internet service to rural America. He has testified before Congress about the issue and was the force behind passage of the 2018 NRECA members' resolution calling for federal funding for co-ops to help bring broadband to unserved and underserved areas.
"Bob has been a change agent," Carson said. "Through his advocacy efforts and sheer willpower, he has helped bring rural broadband and the needs of rural communities to the fore."
Dakota Electric Association won this award, which recognizes co-ops for meaningful contributions to their local community.
The Farmington, Minnesota-based co-op was honored for deploying the first all-electric school bus in the Midwest and introducing new technology to boost energy efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve safety.
The all-electric bus was part of a partnership the co-op had with Great River Energy and Schmitty & Sons. The bus, which began transporting students in the fall of 2017, can go 100 miles without a recharge in the brutally cold Minnesota winters.
"Innovative projects like this require outstanding leadership and an impressive ability to leverage new partnerships to improve lives. Dakota Electric clearly has both," Carson said.
Lyn Opalka, former longtime board president of Mohave Electric Cooperative in Bullhead City, Arizona, won this award for outstanding achievement in mobilizing grassroots advocacy among co-op consumer-members.
She was deeply involved in grassroots campaigns to fight the repeated threat of electricity deregulation in Arizona and gather support to press state regulators to approve a co-op rate decrease for generation and transmission cooperatives. She also led local efforts to gather more than 11,000 comments opposing the Environmental Protection Agency's greenhouse gas rules.
"Lyn's 35 years on Mohave Electric Cooperative's board—27 years as president—were marked by a sincere dedication to the cooperative and its members," Carson said. "She also demonstrated a strong commitment to grassroots advocacy, working tirelessly to advance the interests of the cooperative and her community."
Ohio Cooperative Living magazine, published by Ohio's Electric Cooperatives, won this award for the co-op publication that demonstrates the most forthright, concise and balanced presentation of ideas advancing co-ops and their consumer-members.
NRECA CEO Jim Matheson congratulated editor Jeff McCallister and the entire staff for "beautifully telling the co-op story."
"They have the perfect balance it takes to deliver a polished, professional magazine," he said.

Kumano Kodo Ise Route: Crossing the Magose Pass
The Kumano Kodo Ise Road is a World Heritage Site and part of the Kumano Kodo, a religious route that connects two of Japan's most sacred sites, the Kumano Sanzan and Ise Shrine.
The Magose Pass goes through Ise-ji and is one of the most popular hiking trails along the Kumano Kodo. Its well-preserved stone paths give the impression that this is a Kumano Kodo route. This article introduces the hike over the Magose Pass, stopping at two spectacular viewpoints, Tengukurayama and Binishiyama.
Recommended Hiking Trails in Magome Pass
From Michi-no-eki Miyama to the top of Magose Pass
Magose Pass to Mt. Tengurayama
Magome Pass to Mt. Binishiyama
From Magose Pass to Owase City
From in front of Prefectural Owase Office Building to Miyama Roadside Station
Approximate Time Required
For this itinerary, we parked our car at the parking lot of Michi-no-eki Miyama, crossed the Magose Pass on the Kumano Ancient Road, passed through downtown Owase, and then returned to the parking lot by local bus. It is a 10-minute walk from Michi-no-eki Miyama to the top of Magose Pass.
Start from the parking lot of Michi-no-eki Miyama
Entrance to the climb up to Magose Pass
Michi-no-eki Miyama
As you pass the sign for Magose Pass and step off the busy national highway onto the Kumano Kodo, the atmosphere changes immediately, creating the sensation of stepping through time to the Edo period. The ancient road is breathtaking, with moss-covered cobblestones paving the way amidst the thick cypress trees that stretch straight ahead.
Stone pavement continues deep into the woods
Night weeping Jizo watch over travelers to ensure their safety
The Kishu Clan maintained the stone pavement in this section during the Edo period. The paths fit the width of the Kishu Clan's baskets, approximately 2.7 meters wide, so it was broader than other roads of that time.
Quietly walking along the cobblestones creates a sense of being in the Edo period
The cobblestone pavements were not just for decoration but were unique to the region. The design prevented heavy rainfall from washing out the road. When the newly constructed National Route 42 collapsed and was closed to traffic due to Typhoon No. 21 in 2004, the cobblestone pavements of the Magose Pass were not affected, and disaster relief volunteers could cross the pass on foot.
Follow the old road, surrounded by thick ferns
A rest area with an open view
After 30 minutes of walking up the path, being careful of the slippery cobblestones, you will eventually come to an open area where you can see the surrounding mountains. Here, benches are placed for visitors to rest.
The light becomes brighter as we approach the summit
Huge cypress trees are growing roots
Another 20 minutes from the rest area to the top of Magose Pass at an altitude of 325 meters. The elevation of Michi-no-eki Miyama, today's starting point, is 17 meters above sea level, so you'll have climbed just over 300 meters by this point.
Unfortunately, the summit of Bakoshi Pass is forested, so there is not much of a view, but there are many benches where you can take a break and recharge your batteries.
The sign "13/22" on the Magoshi Pass marks the top of the pass
At the top of the pass, there are three options. (1) Continue on the Kumano Kodo route and descend to downtown Owase, (2) go to Mt. Tengurayama on the left, or (3) go to Mt. Binishiyama on the right. Routes (2) and (3) leave the Kumano Kodo but offer pleasurable climbing and spectacular views. If you are physically fit, you should take this side trip.
Steep climbing continues
First, we head for the 522-meter-high Mt. Tengurayama on the left side of the mountain. The atmosphere changes from the cobblestone trail of the Magose Pass as we enter the Tengukurayama trail, crawling with tree roots. The information board says it takes about 30 minutes from Magose Pass, but the 200-meter difference in elevation makes it a strenuous hike.
Looking up at the huge rock is astonishing!
A solid metal ladder leans against the big rock
It is very steep as you climb, and soon a large rock will enter your line of sight. It is the summit of Tengurayama. If you turn back in the direction you came, you will find a metal ladder that allows you to climb up to the top of the rock.
An unexpectedly large space on top of the rock
A shrine dedicated to En no Gyoja
At the bottom of the ladder is a shrine dedicated to En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo in Japan. Climbing the ladder, you will find an open space with enough room for about ten people to relax and a modest plaque. The trees in front of you will block your view, so to get a better look try the ledge below the big rock.
Owase city center and the Kumano-nada Sea seen from the summit of Mt. Tengurayama
From the summit of Mt. Tengurayama, we headed back to the Magose Pass and onwards to the other peak, Binishiyama. Binishiyama is about 600 meters above sea level (598.9 meters, to be exact). From the Magose Pass, you must go down and then ascend Mt. Binishiyama, making for a longer climb.
A beautifully maintained trail
A panoramic view of Mt. Binishiyama
As you descend from the Magose Pass, you get a panoramic view of Mt. Binishiyama. From this point on, we climbed up a beautifully maintained stairway, and the walk was not difficult, but the length made it quite challenging.
The slope gets steeper as you approach the summit
Many trees crowd the summit
As you approach the summit, you will see several large rocks placed here. Go past them, and you are at the top of the mountain. The time it takes to reach the summit of Mt. Binishiyama from Magose Pass is about 2 hours for the ascent and about 1 hour for the return descent.
Only a modest plaque is at the summit of Mt. Binishiyama, but this is where the real fun begins. A few minutes further is the Elephant's Back, a spot with a spectacular view. From the Elephant's Back, you can see everything from Tengurayama, which we just climbed, to downtown Owase and the calm waters of the Sea of Kumano.
The Elephant's Back is a spectacular view perfect for social media
The Elephant's Back is a huge rock jutting out from the mountain that looks just like an elephant's back in color and shape. Of all the scenic places in Japan, there are few where you can get a view like this, let alone stand on the back of an elephant, to enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Take this chance to get some superb photos. (*If you are afraid of heights, you might feel like your feet are sinking.)
When the excitement of seeing the spectacular view from the Elephant's Back, we descended Mt. Binishiyama and returned to Magose Pass for the third time. There are two options for the return route from here: one is to turn back to the Magose Pass that we climbed in the morning and return to Mt. Miiyama, and the other is to continue on the Kumano Kodo and descend to downtown Owase.
Sakura Jizo
Owase City from the Magose Pass observatory
We continued on the Kumano Kodo, heading toward downtown Owase. Compared to the morning's ascent on the north side, the descent on the south is gentler, but be careful as water gushes out of the ground making the cobblestones wet and slippery in some sections. About 20 minutes downhill from the Magose Pass, there is an observatory overlooking the city of Owase, where you can rest.
The viewpoint at Umaokoshi Pass, the finish is just around the corner
After passing the observation deck, you will soon arrive at Magose Park, the southern starting point for the climb up the Magose Pass. A stylish mountain lodge-style café, Yama-Korai, is near the park, but as of October 2022, the café is closed for business.
Sankirai
Take the Mie Kotsu bus from downtown Owase back to your car at Michi-no-eki Miyama.
It takes about 2 kilometers from Magose Park to the Owase Prefectural Office Building Bus Stop next to the Mie Prefectural Owase Office Building. If you miss your scheduled bus, you may have to wait for more than an hour, and there aren't many places to kill time. Please check the latest timetable of Mie Kotsu and plan your trip accordingly
Mie Prefecture's Owase Town Hall
Mt. Tengurayama viewed from the bus stop
Take a bus bound for Kiinagashima Station, Shimakatsu, Matsusaka Station, or Matsusaka Chuobyo, and get off at the Washige bus stop one stop away. The fare is ¥320, and you can get off right in front of the entrance to the Magose Pass.

If you are driving from Nagoya to Michi-no-eki Miyama, the base for hiking the Magose Pass, take the Higashi-Meihan Expressway, then the Ise Expressway, Kisei Expressway, and Kumano Owase Road, and exit at the Miyama IC. From the Miyama IC, it is a short drive to Michi no Eki Miyama, and the entire trip takes about 2 to 2 hours and 30 minutes.
The hiking trails of the Magose Pass described in this article will take a full day to complete, but we recommend that you take the time to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the World Heritage Kumano Kodo Trail and its spectacular natural scenery. There are no vending machines along the way, so bring plenty of water and good shoes (preferably hiking shoes) to avoid slipping on the trail.

Home Insights New Section 301 Tariffs Target Numerous Automotive-Sector Imports: Coping Strategies and Prospects for Product-Specific Relief
New Section 301 Tariffs Target Numerous Automotive-Sector Imports: Coping Strategies and Prospects for Product-Specific Relief
09 August 2018 Legal News: Automotive Industry Publication
Authors: Gregory Husisian Robert H. Huey John R. Trentacosta Vanessa L. Miller Ashley A. Gifford
The automotive sector is getting a quick primer on the various ways in which the international trade laws can target automotive imports. In addition to the announcement of a potential Section 232 tariffs or other trade measures on imported automobiles and automotive parts (an investigation that is still ongoing), the Trump Administration now has announced a list of $200 billion in special Section 301 tariffs on over 6000 types of products imported from China. Although automotive parts are not specifically targeted, numerous products found in Chapters 39, 84, 85, and 90 – such as various polyvinyl chlorides, DC motors, antennas and antenna reflectors, electronic integrated circuits, and electric synchros – are commonly used by the automotive sector. Under the proposal, these and other identified products that fall within the $200 billion in identified tariff lines are being targeted for additional duties equal to 25 percent (adjusted upwards from the initial announcement of 10 percent) of the value of each import that falls within the listed HTS tariff lines.
At the same time, the U.S. Trade Representative has announced an exemptions process that allows companies to petition for product-specific exemptions from an earlier round of tariffs on an additional $34 billion of products that were targeted for 25 percent tariffs. It is highly likely that a similar process will be put in place for the second round of announced tariffs (totaling $16 billion in annual trade, at a 25 percent rate), as well as the third list targeting the additional $200 billion in annual trade.
This Client Alert describes the current state of play for the Section 301 tariffs and outlines strategies that importers and consumers of Chinese goods, parts, and components can take to help deal with both the newly announced Section 301 tariffs (10 or 25 percent for the new $200 billion in trade, depending on the final decision of the USTR after receiving comments) and the initial and second target list (25 percent).
The Trump Administration has imposed duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to counter what the Administration claims is China's forced technology transfer rules and other industrial policies that are designed to give Chinese companies access to the R&D and business know-how of U.S. companies that operate in China.1 The duties have been imposed to date on $34 billion of Chinese imports at the rate of 25% of the ad valorem value of the imported merchandise (with the U.S. Trade Representative being in the middle of choosing the goods for an additional $16 billion in goods).
On July 6, 2018 China responded by imposing increased duties on goods of the United States. In light of what Mr. Lighthizer has called China's "retaliation and failure to change its practices,"2 on July 10, 2018 the U.S. Trade Representative proposed a modification to maintain the original $34 billion and the proposed $16 billion actions while also taking further action on an additional $200 billion of Chinese imports (initially at a 10% ad valorem duty rate, later adjusted to 25%), including potentially the Chapter 39, 84, 85, and 90 HTS tariff lines that are often used by the automotive sector.3
Under the Section 301 process, these special tariffs are imposed on entire categories of merchandise, as defined by the 10-digit harmonized tariff system code. Whereas the initial $34 billion action and the proposed $16 billion action together would account for products classified under 1102 tariff lines (10-digit HTS sub-headings), the new additional tariffs announced account for a significantly larger number of products classified under 6031 tariff lines.4
Many U.S. companies, however, have argued that their particular imports are not available from U.S. producers – or even from sources other than China – and thus should be exempted. Others have argued that their own products are not appropriate targets for retaliation as they have not been the subject of the complained about Chinese IP practices or because of the importance of their products to the U.S. economy. To handle these complaints, the U.S. Trade Representative has established two recourses for U.S. importers and consumers. The first – related to the initial set of duties – is to give importers and consumers the right to seek an exclusion on a product-by-product and product-specific basis. The second – related to the newly announced set of 6031 tariff lines – allows companies to comment on the selected tariff lines regarding whether they are appropriate for inclusion in the newly announced round of Section 301 tariffs. (A similar comment period on the second set of tariff lines recently ended and resulted in changes to just five tariff lines.) Each action is discussed in turn below.
Newly Announced Exclusions Process
The U.S. Trade Representative has announced a Section 301 tariff exclusion process, which allows U.S. companies to petition the government for specific products to be exempted from the duties. According to the U.S. Trade Representative, the government is "providing an opportunity for the public to request exclusion of a particular product from the additional duties to address situations that warrant excluding a particular product within a subheading, but not the tariff subheading as a whole."5
The U.S. Trade Representative has indicated that in determining which requests to grant it will consider a number of factors, including whether the product in question is available from non-Chinese sources and whether the new 25 percent Section 301 tariff would cause "severe economic harm" to the importer or other U.S. interests.
Like the section 232 exclusions process, the process is envisioned as requiring exclusions requests on a product-specific basis for specific products (although trade associations also can file). Unlike the section 232 process, however, the process here will be open only for a limited time. Companies seeking exclusions must file the request within ninety days (i.e., by October 9, 2018).6 Following a public posting of the request on Regulations.gov (under docket number USTR-2018-0025), the public will have fourteen days to file a response to the request. After the close of that fourteen-day period, any interested person will have any additional seven days to reply (either in support of or in opposition to the request).7 The last rebuttal stands in contrast to the section 232 exclusions process, where there is only an opportunity to file an exclusions request and to respond a single time.8
If the U.S. Trade Representative issues an exclusion for List 1, it will apply for one year (retroactive to July 6th).9 This means that companies that are filing an exclusions request while actively importing the product should carefully keep track of all entries, since they may need to seek a refund on an individual-entry basis of any section 301 tariffs paid should the exclusion request succeed. In all likelihood, a similar exclusions process will be set for Lists 2 and 3.
At this point it is not clear how the process will work internally. Such questions as whether the U.S. Trade Representative will perform the evaluations (when it does not really have the personnel to do so), what criteria it will apply, and whether it will in fact be able to complete the evaluations on a timely basis are at this time unknown. The most obvious solution – to farm out the exclusions evaluation to the Department of Commerce, which already is building an expertise in evaluating Section 232 exclusion requests – is quite problematic. The ongoing section 232 exclusions process – already up to 25,000 or so exclusion requests – is bogged down and unlikely to yield timely exclusions. Notably, unlike with the Section 232 exclusions process, the USTR has not indicated any timetable for providing its response to any filed requests.
Automotive companies that import products from China should carefully review the various lists of products to determine whether their imports are covered by the imposed or prospective tariff lists. Companies also should evaluate whether they have valid reasons to seek an exclusion. Potential winning arguments can include the lack of any U.S. or non-Chinese suppliers of certain components, the need to import specialized forms of the merchandise that are not reasonably available from other sources (such as material made with dedicated tools and dies), a national security interest in the use of the product imported from China, the support of large downstream U.S. value added by the Chinese imports, the support of a large amount of downstream product exports, the lack of any connection of the particular Chinese imports with any of the alleged Chinese intellectual property intrusions, that the particular imports are not "strategically important or related to the 'Made in China 2025,'" or any demonstrable economic hardship flowing from the tariffs, particular for small- and medium-sized firms.
How to Submit an Exclusions Request
Both individual companies and trade associations may submit requests for exclusions; several automotive-sector trade associations already are in the process of preparing comments and have submitted requests to appear at the hearing. Requests can be made based upon public or confidential information; if confidential information is submitted then the request must also submit a public version (with only the latter being posted on regulations.gov). Only one product can be addressed per exclusions request. The file name must include the ten-digit subheading of the HTS applicable and the name and person of the company or person submitting the request. Any exclusion request "must specifically identify a particular product, and provide supporting data and the rationale for the requested exclusion." Specifically, the request "must include the following information":
The ten-digit subheading of the HTS applicable to the exclusion request.
Identification of the particular product "in terms of the physical characteristics (e.g., dimensions, material composition, or other characteristics) that distinguish it from other products within the covered 8-digit subheading."
The "annual quantity and value of the Chinese-origin product that the requester" or trade association purchased "in each of the last three years."
A certification that the information submitted is complete and correct.10
In addition, each exclusion request "should address" the following factors:
Whether the particular product is available only from China. In addressing this factor, requesters should address specifically whether the particular product and/or a comparable product is available from sources in the United States and/or in third countries.
Whether the imposition of additional duties on the particular product would cause severe economic harm to the requester or other U.S. interests.
Whether the particular product is strategically important or related to "Made in China 2025" or other Chinese industrial programs.11
Notably, the USTR specifically states that it "will not consider requests that identify the product at issue in terms of the identity of the producer, importer, ultimate consumer, actual use or chief use, or trademarks or tradenames."12 These restrictions will make it difficult or impossible to argue that companies that import from affiliates, subsidiaries, or joint ventures located in China should be exempted solely because the company brings over branded products or those that it has tailored to its own use in downstream production. Instead, companies will need to develop information grounded in the general product characteristics to support an exclusions request.
The Federal Register notice indicates that the USTR will be placing a request form on the USTR website under "Enforcement/Section 301 investigations" and on regulations.gov in the "Supporting Documents" section; the form can also be found on the USTR website.13 The USTR "strongly encourages interested persons to use the form to submit requests."
After a requests is posted on regulations.gov under Docket USTR-2018-0025, interested parties will have fourteen days to file a response. After the fourteen-day response period has ended, interested parties will then have an additional seven days to reply to those initial responses submissions, either in support of or opposition to the request. No timing is set as to when the USTR will respond, other than a promise that the "USTR will periodically announce decisions on pending requests."
How to Seek Clarification
According to the Federal Register notice, companies seeking further information should contact USTR Assistant General Counsel Arthur Tsao or Director of Industrial Goods Justin Hoffmann at (202) 395–5725 or Traderemedy@cbp.dhs.gov for Customs-related questions. U.S. Customs also has issued guidance to help importers determine how to deal with the tariffs. According to U.S. Customs guidance:
Any product covered in Annex A of the U.S. Trade Representative notice of Action Pursuant to Section 301 is required to pay the special duties, as per the initial notice. Any special section 301 tariffs are entirely in addition to normal tariff duties.
The additional tariffs are imposed by reporting two tariff classifications: the normal tariff found under chapters 1-97 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule and an additional tariff classification to account for the section 301 tariffs (HTS 9903.88.01).
The application of the duties is based upon the country of origin of the goods (i.e., where they were last substantially transformed), not the country of export. This means that the duties cover any Chinese goods even if they are first shipped to another country.
Any goods that are entered into a foreign trade zone generally must be admitted using "privileged foreign status" pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 146.41, meaning that the products will be subject to any applicable duty rates or quantitative limitations related to the classification. This is to prevent companies from using foreign trade zones to try to evade any payment of the section 301 duties.14
Unlike with the section 232 duties, duty drawback is possible for section 301 duties.
Additional Section 301 Tariffs
The existing section 301 duties are not the only minefield that U.S. imports of components from China need to navigate. For the second round of section 301 tariffs (the $16 billion in annual trade, as found in Annex C of the U.S. Trade Representative's Federal Register notice), the U.S. Trade Representative on August 8th announced a final list of tariff lines.15 For HTS entries covered by the Second (and First) Lists, the only coping mechanism for imports from China of the covered products is to seek a product-specific exclusion. The current status of each list is provided on a special Section 301 website, found here: https://ustr.gov/issueareas/enforcement/section-301-investigations/china-forced-technology-transfer-investigation.
For the third round of tariffs, the USTR has proposed increasing the level of tariffs from 10 to 25 percent, and accordingly established an extended timetable for submissions:
August 13, 2018: Due date for filing requests to appear and a summary of expected testimony at the public hearing, and for filing pre-hearing submissions.
September 6, 2018: Due date for submission of written comments.
August 20-23, 2018: The Section 301 Committee will convene a public hearing in the main hearing room of the U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington DC, 20436 beginning at 9:30 am.
September 6, 2018: Due date for submission of post-hearing rebuttal comments.16
As with the first two rounds of tariffs, the comments can cover the full range of issues raised by implementing the $200 billion in tariffs, including with regard to whether the products chosen achieve the stated goal and whether it is appropriate to implement a 10 or 25 percent tariff level. USTR specifically requests comments regarding:
The propriety of the listed tariff lines, including whether any listed tariff lines should be retained or removed.
The level of the increase, if any, in the rate of duty.
The appropriate level of trade that should or should not be covered by additional duties.
Whether imposing duties on a particular tariff line or proposed tariff line would be practicable or effective to eliminate or counteract China's acts, policies and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property, and innovation.
Whether maintaining or imposing duties on a particular tariff line would cause disproportionate economic harm to U.S. interests, including small- or medium-size businesses and consumers.
The USTR will make its final determination after reviewing the comments. Comments on the first round resulted in the removal of 515 tariff lines from the initial list of 1,333 proposed tariff lines, illustrating that the comments were taken seriously. Comments on the second round, however, resulted in only five tariff lines being removed.17 Whether similar changes as the first or second lists will occur in the final go-around is not yet known. Unlike the first go-around, which involved only around 10 percent of Chinese imports, the current proposal adds $200 billion in annual trade, making for a total that is near half of total annual imports from China. In these circumstances, there is a lot less leeway for mixing and matching tariffs while minimizing the harm to U.S. economic interests.
Not to be overlooked is that the process also allows an opportunity for U.S. companies to increase tariffs, including on U.S.-based competitors that rely on Chinese inputs. Thus, the exclusions process is useful not only for companies looking to avoid a sharp increase in their input costs, but also as a means of "leveling the playing field" for companies that believe their competitors are benefiting from low-cost inputs that may have benefited from the types of intellectual property issues that are the target of the Section 301 process. Companies in this posture might want to consider participating in the third round hearing and comment period.
Coping With the Section 301 Tariffs
In addition to looking for opportunities to request a section 301 exclusion, or to comment on the latest round of tariffs, automotive-sector companies should consider evaluating these trade strategies to mute the impact of these tariffs:
Evaluate When Acting As Importer of Record. Although the section 301 tariffs are aimed at Chinese manufacturers, the duties imposed actually are collected from the importer of record as a percentage of the ad valorem value of each entry of the subject merchandise. Importers who are not paying attention to the impact of the new section 301 duties can find themselves on the hook for the full payment of these duties. Companies need to be aware of contractual arrangements where they have agreed to be the importer of record or have agreed to reimburse for the payment of any Customs duties.
Establish Contingency Measures in Long-Term Supply Agreements. Companies highly reliant on imported goods need to evaluate whether their long-term contracts cover the contingency of which party acts as the importer of record, the delivery terms (terms of delivery like CIF and FOB can impact who is responsible for paying for duties), whether reimbursement of duties occurs, whether the possibility of increasing tariffs is even addressed, and whether the parties have the right to terminate the contract based upon the imposition of unanticipated duties. Force majeure clauses may not meet legal requirements for contract termination on the basis of unanticipated duties. Companies finding themselves unexpectedly paying section 301 duties should evaluate whether they have legal options to update their contractual terms, particularly as contracts come up for renewal.
Check Entries Carefully Against Orders. The new procedures announced by Customs depend upon self-classification of goods under the new section 301 rules. Failure to properly declare the new tariff classification where required will result in both a backbill for the duties owed (and any interest), but also additional penalties. Relying on customs brokers or freight forwarders to handle the new duties without oversight often can be inadequate, as these third parties generally are not given the responsibility of knowing what products are planned for importation. Once the goods have reached the customs territory of the United States, it is too late to do anything because the duties become owed upon entry. Because the liability of customs brokers is generally limited by contract to the modest value of the fee paid for the processing of the goods, companies should take steps to independently follow which goods become subject to new orders as part of their customs compliance.
Know the Correct Classification of Entries. Section 301 duties are imposed based upon the HTS tariff line. Thus, the liability for duties pre-supposes and accurate HTS classification. In any situation where entries are in a gray area, special attention should be paid to get the classification correct and determine whether the good falls within the scope of the order. Some orders have complicated scopes that can make classification, such as the aluminum extrusions order (which is the subject of approximately eighty scope determinations by the DOC). If certainty is not possible through self-classification, importers should consider filing a request for an advisory opinion to get a binding ruling from Customs.
Be Aware of Potential Circumvention Red Flags. Because duty rates can be high, some less scrupulous exporters will misclassify their goods, such as by claiming different product attributes or classifications than in fact exist, by claiming an erroneous country of origin, or otherwise. Allegations of Chinese exporters using such strategies to avoid antidumping or countervailing duty orders aimed at China are common. Any importer noticing red flags that indicate potential circumvention should check into it before CBP does.
Conduct a Risk Assessment Review of Critical Supply Contracts that May Be Impacted. Work with the company's sales and procurement teams to identify key longterm contracts and purchase orders that will be impacted by the new section 301 tariffs. Specific contract terms that should be examined include provisions that pertain to: (a) raw materials increases and any applicable pricing formulas; (b) other requests for cost increases; (c) force majeure; (d) notice requirements; and (e) termination rights.
Investigate Alternative Sources of Supply. As noted above, the duties are based upon the country of manufacture, not whether the products are directly exported from China. If there are alternate sources available, the company many work to line up and qualify a replacement supplier. However, this many not be feasible if the goods are specially manufactured products that require testing and a lengthy validation process. The company should ascertain how much product it has in stock and identify when an interruption in supply would cause a shutdown in the manufacturing line. The company can then determine whether its best course of action is to acquiesce to the payment of the section 301 duties or to proceed with qualifying an alternate supplier.
Even after the comment period has ended, it is highly likely that certain inputs used by many automotive-sector companies will remain on any final list. As with any raw materials or component cost increases, these tariffs will create many issues across the automotive-sector manufacturing supply chains. Automotive-sector companies likely will see an impact from these new tariffs, including:
The exercise of any applicable price adjustment clauses in supply contracts;
Unilateral demands for price increases or for price surcharges;
Demands that consumers take over responsibility for duties, including through shifting responsibility for which company acts as the importer of record;
Product shortages and allocation issues;
Claims of commercial impracticability under U.C.C. § 2-615;
Claims of force majeure and the exercise of force majeure provisions in contracts (particularly if the force majeure clause contains broad catch-all language such as "or any other events or circumstances that may affect the Company's ability to deliver products");
Refusals to ship product that could trigger duties; and
Court challenges and international arbitration actions in the case of international supply contracts.
Companies should update their procurement and sales teams regarding these developments and their potential impact across the manufacturing supply chain. Companies may want to proactively conduct a review and risk assessment of all three Section 301 lists for a variety of reasons, including determining whether they should comment on the List 3 of $200 billion in new prospective Section 301 duties; seek product-specific exclusions for Lists 1 and 2; and evaluate whether they should see alternative commercial and supply arrangements for prospective Section 301 duties.

Mommy's Free Reads: Awesome Board Book!
With a little 7 month all over the place, I am always looking for great board books. These are great for her, especially since she wants to put EVERYTHING into her mouth. With board books, all I have to do is clean them off with a wipe, and we go on our merry way. Problem is though, there aren't too many quality Christian board books out there.
I was thrilled when I discovered "God Gave Us You" came in a board back form. We have all of the "God Gave Us..." books by Lisa Bergren, but since my daughter is so little, I don't like giving paper books to her since I know it will just get eaten.
This book is about a little cub who learns that he was a gift from God. Mama bear goes into detail telling the cub all that she and Papa bear did preparing for little cubs arrival. At the end of each page she says, "Yes, my special child. God gave us you." I always want my children to know that and be reminded of the fact that they are a special gift from God. My daughter and I have already read this several times. Even though she is only 7 months old, I don't think I could tell her enough.
I would highly, highly recommend this book to all parents of young children or expectant parents!


Copied for us in high definition from its archives by Swedish Radio, here is, as you have never heard it before, this German Requiem with its extreme emotionality, and notably with superlative choruses and details of orchestration that leap out! We have preserved the lengthy pauses between the movements.
Two Swedish correspondents have prepared a presentation (8 pages!) that alone justifies the download!
The booklet includes a very comprehensive presentation of these concerts, the biographies of the performers, translations of all the corresponding press articles, a list of the orchestral musicians and many photos, not forgetting the biblical texts of the Requiem in three languages.

Game Review #466: Romancing SaGa 3 (Nintendo Switch)
Reviewer: WoodmanFLG
Developer: Square Enix
Category: jRPG
Price: $28.99 (Digital) } $44.99 (Physical)
Buy Romancing SaGa 3 from the Nintendo Switch eShop here.
Buy the Asia English physical release from Playasia here. (Save 5% with code SWITCHMANIA)
A Long-Running Saga
I love the SaGa games… mostly! There are a few stinkers here and there—mostly the post-PS1 attempts at the series—but overall, it's a very unique and beloved franchise of jRPGs that is made by the titans of the genre: Square.
Before the PS1 entry, SaGa Frontier, the series never had a release under the SaGa name in America, and the PS1 game really bought a lot of attention to the series. A lot of people sought out translation patches to play Romancing Saga 2 and 3 on emulators. The games Final Fantasy Legend 1, 2 and 3 are also actually SaGa games—and feature many of the same kind of mechanics—but Romancing Saga 1-3 for the Super Nintendo is when the series started to really draw attention. I actually own a reproduction copy of Romancing Saga 3 that is translated, and works on an American Super Nintendo, if that says anything about how much I love this series.
The SaGa series tends to share a few major elements between entries, major elements being its early version of an open world, multiple selectable characters, and the system used in battle to learn new techniques! Let's talk a little more about Romancing SaGa 3 and the upgrades it has received with this HD remaster!
8 Heroes, 8 Stories
Romancing Saga 3 is set in a world where, every 300 years, an event happens that basically means that everyone born that year will die before it's over; but eventually, there was a time where a sole child survived the cataclysmic event and went on to grow powerful. One day, however, he vanished without a word, and no one knew what had happened to him. 300 years later, another child was able to live through the event, and she came to be known as the Matriarch. It has been around 300 years since the last event, and the world is on edge waiting for the next disaster. Will another child rise up against all odds and live through this cataclysm, or will fate not be defied?
Well, we have 8 different characters with different stories; although, some of them come from similar backgrounds, so there is the occasional overlap, but that just gives you more appreciation as you progress and see the full picture the game presents with its story! We have Julian, Sarah, Thomas, and Ellen, who are all settlers, then Mikhail, Monica, and Katharina, who are all from Loanne Castle, and lastly, Harid, who is a mercenary better known by his alias, Tornado! Each of these characters have their own set of events, story, bosses, and more, in addition, some other characters are only recruitable by certain main characters. In this game, you are definitely nudged along to try and beat the game with every character in order to get the full story.
Sparking A New Way of Thinking
Combat is turn-based, with you having a party of up to 5 active characters to fight a variety of monsters, people, demons, and more! Getting stronger isn't done in the traditional jRPG sense of just gaining experience points and leveling up, instead using one of the series' main elements of gaining stat points based on performance in battle. Taking hits? Your HP will go up. Using lots of techniques with a sword? Your sword skill and SP will go up, so you hit harder and can use more powerful techniques more often. Even moreso, using weapons in battle will cause you to spark a new technique, which can turn the tide of battle and lead to even stronger moves.
You can also learn magic, which consists of multiple different schools of magic that each generally have an opposite school from which you can't learn any magic. Think of it like a fire mage couldn't learn water magic, essentially. When it comes to sparking techniques, sometimes using advanced techniques has a better chance to spark a specific skill than just attacking normally. Your characters are healed after every battle, but if you fall in battle, you will lose a Life Point. If you run out of those, you will be unable to use the character for a time. This combat system is very rewarding, and there's not much else like the feeling when you spark a super strong technique at the perfect time, saving your butt!
The SaGa Special
The SaGa series has a quirk where you can't always grind to overcome something, sometimes you really do have to take a little bit, back up, and revisit areas to find new equipment, or maybe a different objective. Being that the game is very light on healing magic and such, your job is to figure out how to do the most damage output in an encounter, while minimizing the damage you take per round when it comes to strong foes. Weaker ones are nice, because you heal all your damage after the battle is over, so unless you use a lot of WP or SP, or you lose an LP, random encounters are 90% good for you, so don't be afraid to fight! This remake features some awesome new additions, like a new dungeon, as well as animation for some battle sprites being improved in battle effects. The visuals really do look great, and anyone who's played the OG version will find this breathes new life into a classic that launched a series!
Romancing SaGa 3 is a fantastic remaster of a beloved game, and with this, it's the first official way we have to play this game in English that doesn't involve a little bit of legal grey area, and I couldn't be happier for people to get to experience this game. If you find yourself enjoying this, FIND A WAY TO PLAY SAGA FRONTIER on PS1, because I feel that is the SaGa formula fully realized, and at its best! RS3 is a great jRPG that can show its age here and there in the mechanics and design, but it's still a massive game packing hundreds of possible hours in it, for less than $30! I give Romancing SaGa 3, a super solid 8.5/10, which is special, because I never add the .5, but it just REALLY deserved it!

As I had long ago decided that Color Me Obsessed would cover The Replacements from when that first demo tape went from Paul's to Peter Jesperson's hands, through to their breakup at Grant Park on July 1st, 1991, my biggest predicament with Minehan came when he recalled an amazing tale about touring with Paul in London and running into Joe Strummer at an outdoor flea market. Luckily, we have a lot of knobs on that old answering machine on the CMO website. Click the volume control and you can hear the story.
If I wasn't sure after interviewing Jack Rabid, that I indeed did have a movie here. Dave cemented it. We talked for over 90 minutes, and I left feeling that I had found my musical twin. The guy's got great tastes in bands!
Over the holidays last year, two old friends joined the production team: Dean Falcone, whom I've known for about three decades, and who co-wrote the score for FRIENDS (WITH BENEFITS), and Ed Valauskas, whom I first met when he played bass so many eons ago in amazing band Gravel Pit. Both have countless connections in the music industry. They would get us to many of the rockers who would so make this film work.
First up: George Skaubitis, who worked radio promotions for Warner Brothers. George was very quiet and subdued, but he gave me one amazing quote, part of which you can see in the second trailer right here, calling the band a "glorious mess." It was a short interview, but I'll always take quality over quantity.
Ok…time to get sidetracked, as I was just in Cleveland for a few last minute cmo interviews and I finally had the opportunity to visit the rock n roll hall of fame, and ok, look, the Springsteen section was amazing, to see his old Tele (the one from the cover of Born To Run) was like seeing Van Gogh's Starry Night for the first time. Goddamn, did I want to touch it. The blacken neck gave me goosebumps. Every crack in the body's finish seemed to bleed rock and roll. In my opinion it's the most important guitar of all time. And I feel honored to have stood in its presence.
Supposedly the remodeling will be complete in 2012, so anyone thinking of visiting should wait.
Ultimately was as the Hall of Fame disappointing? Yes. But would I go back? Sure, I'd give it one more chance to get it right.
Now I had tried indiegogo.com before for another project. It's a place where you put your project online, and seek backers. NOT investors. Backers. People who donate money to your film in return for a dvd, a poster, an associate producer credit, a day on set, a role as an extra, anything you can think of really. But unlike investors, they do not own any part of your finished film. They own no part of the profits. They will never be paid back. And likewise you do not have to register with state banking commissions, you do not need a securities lawyer. (Filmmakers, if you're looking for investors, be careful and check with the laws of individual state. Fines are not fun.) If you can find people who believe in your project this is very much the way to go. But to be honest, I had no luck with indiegogo, and I think most people who tried them at the start were in the same boat. Checking their site now, they seem to have completely changed format, basically copying the much more successful KickStarter.com.
When I first put up COLOR ME OBSESSED on KickStarter back in October 2009, it was mostly an exclusive club. You needed either an invite from one of the people who had projects on the site, or from one of the site's founders. So I sent said founders an email, explaining who I was, and what I was making, and within a few days received an invite to make CMO a KickStarter project.
You can see the original CMO KickStarter page here, including the listing of what I was offering backers at what price. As you can see it proved tremendously successful. And I knew that when time came to find Mats fans outside of the tri-state area in which I resided, I be able to pack up my crew and go.
As an aside, I can't say enough great things about KickStater. Everything about it is professional, well thought out, and easy to use. They truly have some amazing projects, and have helped many artists like myself achieve goals which might have otherwise been out of reach. KickStarter rocks!

as a mexican-american. i've had personal experiences with old white witches like this one. when i was an insurance salesman (about as honest a one at that), she would not let me return to her shack to write her policy b/c she did not want "any mexicans in her house". an older white woman (whose granddaughter is half mexican-american) from my office had to go write it but gave the old hateful bat a mouthful. it doesn't bother me so much when it comes from an old person, cause they'll be insignificant and will die soon anyway. i think that the woman maybe doesn't know or doesn't feel that there is a difference betw americans of mex descent and stinky illegals. it's her loss.
The older rural generations are very closed minded and set in their ways. Ignorance plays a big role. My in-laws are the worst when it comes to racist views. They live in a small town, where the N word still flies freely. Your not going to change them, you may not like what they are saying, but they have every right to say what they feel. I have to deprogram my daughter when we go visit.
Since my bio mother married 'outside the family'; I suspect that there was some prejudice against at least my father due to him being from Eastern Europe----------never mind that in appearance I am the spittin' image of her people.
My point being that many rural folks tend to be bigots against even certain Anglos let alone people of color.
Interesting about BentBow's case being he is a technically a Mestizo due to his Apache, etc. heritage.
This is VERY true...words like D a g o and Mick fly around here all the time...the difference is,I'M not sensitive and do not care nor does anyone else.....I've heard all the drunk Irish jokes and have never gotten mad at the "teller" of the joke....I guess only certain ethnicities are thin skinned.
You're quite correct...there are 'cranky' old folks, many of whom have racist views, and for some reason, it seems there are more 'cranky old women' than 'cranky old men'...perhaps the women live longer.
My wife and I have had run-ins with 'cranky old racist ladies', too..(including one years ago in a supermarket who admonished my wife that she "shouldn't scold other people's kids"...as she scolded our light-skinned middle daughter.....and another elderly dental receptionist who told my wife "well YOUR husband isn't HERE"...as I sat there, just around the corner, 5 feet away. Seems she and I were not a proper 'match' in the old gal's eyes, and she 'assumed').
As far as your statement that she may have felt there is "no difference" between Mexican-Americans and illegals...quite possibly you're right. Unfortunately, though, she has plenty of company there...for not only every white-racist 'wacko' under the sun feels this way, in addition, so do MOST illegal-support groups, and many 'Hispanic activists' as well....when they make such statements as "there are NO illegal humans"....and "we didn't cross the border...the border crossed us". these people, too, in their own way, are blurring the lines, and minimizing the meaning of citizenship...and, in essence, they too, are saying that there's REALLY no difference between an illegal Mexican immigrant, a LEGAL Mexican immigrant, an English-speaking American of Mexican ancestry, and a descendant of the original inhabitants of the US Southwest, because "we're ALL one people". That's the same way the KKK sees it, I would imagine.
I own a grocery store and diner and I have two signs in there that I take literally...."We reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE" and "English Only".
I am not a racist,but I understand english only and I'm not going to hire an interpreter nor am I going to have the cashier line held up while trying to learn another language.My place,my right and I pay the taxes on it.....don't like it,go somewhere else.
EXCELLENT post! Everyone should read it more than once.
Absolutely! While I abhor all forms of bigotry, the illegal alien apologists who deliberately conflate legal/illegal have exacerbated the problem of illegal immigration. How is the average citizen supposed to differentiate between legal "Hispanics" and illegal, when their advocacy groups refuse to make a distinction? Case in point: La Raza (NCLR) is demanding illegal aliens be included in the health insurance bill, because there is no difference between an illegal alien Hispanic, and a U.S. citizen Hispanic. According to them, they are ALL Hispanics in need of medical insurance, and citizenship status should not be a determining factor. I'm sorry, but there IS a difference, and it should be acknowledged and emphasized.
