 Explanation The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive departments and agen- cies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further sub- divided into parts covering specific regulatory areas. Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows: Title 1 through Title 16 .............................................................. as of January 1 Title 17 through Title 27 ................................................................. as of April 1 Title 28 through Title 41 .................................................................. as of July 1 Title 42 through Title 50 ............................................................. as of October 1 The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each volume. LEGAL STATUS The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510). HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used together to deter- mine the latest version of any given rule. To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its revision date (in this case, January 1, 2007), consult the "List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA)," which is issued monthly, and the "Cumulative List of Parts Affected," which appears in the Reader Aids section of the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule. EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal Reg- ister since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication dates and effective dates are usu- ally not the same and care must be exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In instances where the effective date is beyond the cut- off date for the Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be inserted following the text. OMB CONTROL NUMBERS The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information collection request. V

Page:Title 3 CFR 2006 Compilation.djvu/6

 Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as amend- ments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting requirements. OBSOLETE PROVISIONS Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before January 1, 2001, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected, 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1988, or 1986-2000, published in 11 separate volumes. For the period beginning January 1, 2001, a "List of CFR Sections Affected" is published at the end of each CFR volume. CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR INDEX AND FINDING AIDS. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in this volume. An index to the text of "Title 3--The President" is carried within that volume. The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. This index is based on a consolidation of the "Contents" entries in the daily Federal Reg- ister. A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to the revision dates of the 80 CFR titles. REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL There are no restrictions on the republication of textual material appearing in the Code of Federal Regulations. INQUIRIES For a legal interpretation or explanation of any regulation in this volume, contact the issuing agency. The issuing agency's name appears at the top of odd-numbered pages. For inquiries concerning CFR reference assistance, call 202-741-6000 or write to the Director, Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC 20408 or e-mail fedreg.info@nara.gov.

 Explanation of This Title This volume of "Title 3--The President" contains a compilation of Presidential documents and a codification of regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President. The 2006 Compilation contains the full text of those documents signed by the President that were required to be published in the Federal Register. Signature date rather than publication date is the criterion for inclusion. With each annual volume, the Presidential documents signed in the previous year become the new compilation. Chapter I contains regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President. This section is a true codification like other CFR volumes, in that its contents are organized by subject or regulatory area and are updated by individual issues of the Federal Hegister. Presidential documents in this volume may be cited "3 CFR, 2006 Comp." Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for Proclamation 7859 appearing on page 1 of this book, is "3 CFR, 2006 Comp., p. %" Chapter I entries may be cited "3 CFR." Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for section 100.1, appearing in chapter I of this book, is "3 CFR 100.1." This book is one of the volumes in a series that began with Proclamation 2161 of March 19, 1936, and Executive Order 7316 of March 13, 1936, and that has been continued by means of annual compilations and periodic cumulations. The entire Title 3 series, as of January 1, 2007, is encompassed in the volumes listed on page iv. For readers interested in proclamations and Executive orders prior to 1936, there is a two-volume set entitled Proclamations and Executive Orders, Herbert Hoover (March 4, \177929, to March 4, \177933). Codified Presidential documents are published in the Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders (April \1773, i945--January 20, \177989).

 2006 Compilation Presidential Documents P ROC LAMATI ON S Proclamation 7973 of January 13, 2006 Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation As we observe the 20th anniversary of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, we reflect on the history of civil rights in America and honor Dr. King for the power of his intellect, the truth of his words, and the example of his courage. Dr. King created a powerful and enduring legacy for all Americans by calling upon our Nation to ensure equal iustice under law and uphold our founding ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- ness for all people. Dr. King became an active leader in the civil rights movement in the 1950s, strengthened in his resolve by the quiet courage of Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. He advocated non-violent action as a means to overcome the evil of racism in America, and he led the effort that resulted in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Dr. King later said that the legislation was the work of every citizen who took to the streets and marched for iustice and equality. The Voting Rights Act, which became law the next year, guaranteed all citizens the right to vote, regardless of race, and helped our country realize the promise of the 15th Amendment to our Constitution. Dr. King believed that all people are made in God's image and created equal. He dedicated his life to empowering people, no matter their cir- cumstances, and challenged them to lift up their neighbors and commu- nities. He broke down barriers within our society by encouraging Ameri- cans to look past their differences and refused to rest until our Nation ful- filled its pledge of liberty and iustice for all. 1

 Proc. 7974 Title 3--The President As we observe and honor Dr. King's birthday, we are reminded that great causes often involve great sacrifices. In the five decades since Dr. King and Mrs. Parks stood together in Montgomery, Alabama, our country has made great progress toward equality for every citizen. Yet more work remains. In the words of Dr. King, "We will not be satisfied until 'iustice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.'" NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Monday, }anuary 16, 2006, as the Martin Luther King, }r., Federal Holiday. I encourage all Americans to observe this day with appropriate civic, community, and service pro- grams and activities in honor of the memory and legacy of Dr. King. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of }anuary, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7974 of January 13, 2006 Religious Freedom Day, 2006 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation The right to religious freedom is a foundation of America. On Religious Freedom Day, our Nation celebrates the passage of the 1786 Virginia Stat- ute for Religious Freedom and the protection of religious freedom in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Our Founding Fathers knew the importance of freedom of religion to a sta- ble democracy, and our Constitution protects individuals' rights to worship as they choose. We reject religious discrimination in every form, and we continue our efforts to oppose prejudice and to counter any infringements on religious freedom. Today, we are also working to advance freedom of religion abroad. The De- partment of State's Office of International Religious Freedom plays an im- portant role in these efforts, advocating for religious freedom and actively working against religious persecution around the world. In recent years, we have seen important progress, including in Vietnam, Laos, India, Georgia, and the United Arab Emirates, and with the release of many individuals in countries throughout the world who had been imprisoned because of their faith. By helping to secure the religious freedom of people in other countries, we promote the spread of liberty and human dignity. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim }anuary 16, 2006, as Reli- gious Freedom Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the great blessing of religious liberty, endeavor to preserve this freedom for future genera- tions, and commemorate this day with appropriate events and activities in their schools, places of worship, neighborhoods, and homes. 2

 Proclamations Proc. 7975 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7975 of January 20, 2006 National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation was founded on the belief that every human being has rights, dignity, and value. On National Sanctity of Human Life Day, we underscore our commitment to building a culture of life where all individuals are wel- comed in life and protected in law. America is making great strides in our efforts to protect human life. One of my first actions as President was to sign an order banning the use of tax- payer money on programs that promote abortion overseas. Over the past 5 years, I also have been proud to sign into law the Born-Alive Infants Pro- tection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, and a ban on partial-birth abortion. In addition, my Administration continues to fund abstinence and adoption programs and numerous faith-based and community initiatives that support these efforts. When we seek to advance science and improve our lives, we must always preserve human dignity and remember that human life is a gift from our Creator. We must not sanction the creation of life only to destroy it. Amer- ica must pursue the tremendous possibilities of medicine and research and at the same time remain an ethical and compassionate society. National Sanctity of Human Life Day is an opportunity to strengthen our resolve in creating a society where every life has meaning and our most vulnerable members are protected and defended--including unborn chil- dren, the sick and dying, and persons with disabilities and birth defects. This is an ideal that appeals to the noblest and most generous instincts within us, and this is the America we will achieve by working together. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 22, 2006, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recog- nize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to reaffirm our commitment to respecting and defending the life and dignity of every human being. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

 Proc. 7976 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7976 of }anuary 27, 2006 National African American History Month, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation As we celebrate National African American History Month, we recognize the many contributions of African Americans to our country and reinforce our commitment to be a Nation of opportunity and hope for every citizen. Throughout our history, African Americans have courageously worn our Nation's uniform while defending peace and liberty around the globe. Patri- ots like Thurgood Marshall and Rosa Parks broke down racial barriers and inspired our Nation to make good on the promise of equal iustice under law. Educators like Mary McLeod Bethune and Dr. Frederick Patterson transformed the academic world, with the goal of ensuring that every child has access to a good education. Athletes such as ]esse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and entertainers such as Ossie Davis and Ray Charles have brought pride and ioy to generations of Americans. Today, the accomplish- ments of African Americans in every aspect of our society continue to en- courage people to reach as far as their vision and dreams may take them. African-American organizations have played a vital role in achieving ius- tice and equal rights, and they have helped make communities across our country stronger and better. This year's theme of African American History Month, "Celebrating Community: A Tribute to Black Fraternal, Social, and Civic Institutions," recognizes the African-American groups that have worked to confront iniustices and expand opportunities. These organiza- tions believe in the potential and worth of every person, and they have worked to help all Americans receive a quality education, to feed the hun- gry and house the homeless, to encourage youth to make healthy choices, and to reach out to others in need. By answering the call to love a neighbor as we would like to be loved ourselves, these groups have set a positive example, and we continue to be inspired by their compassion and service to others. Working together, Federal, State, and local government, community organi- zations, and individual citizens will continue to foster hope and build a better tomorrow for all our children and grandchildren. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 2006 as National African American History Month. I call upon public officials, educators, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appro- priate programs and activities that honor the significant contributions Afri- can Americans have made to our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of ]anuary, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

 Proclamations Proc. 7977 Proclamation 7977 of January 30, 2006 Fourth Anniversary of the USA Freedom Corps, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Americans enjoy great liberty and prosperity, and with these blessings comes an obligation to reach out to those in need. Over the past 4 years, USA Freedom Corps has worked to rally America's armies of compassion and bring together individuals and organizations committed to volunteer service. More than 65 million people volunteered in 2005, an increase of 6.5 million since 2002. As we celebrate the fourth anniversary of USA Free- dom Corps, we recognize the many Americans who have stepped forward to help others, and we underscore our commitment to serving our Nation and people around the world. USA Freedom Corps was created to build on the countless acts of service, sacrifice, and generosity that followed the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In the wake of the devastating tsunami of 2004 and hurricanes of 2005, Americans have continued to demonstrate that the true strength of our Nation lies in the hearts and souls of our citizens. By reaching out to aid the victims of these tragedies, people across our country helped rebuild shattered lives and communities. Their acts of service again demonstrated that by loving our neighbors as ourselves, we can offer hope and healing to those who suffer. USA Freedom Corps is dedicated to expanding volunteer service and ex- tending the goodwill of the American people. To help support our commu- nities, respond to crises at home, and spread compassion around the globe, USA Freedom Corps works to strengthen public service programs such as the Peace Corps, Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Citizen Corps. USA Free- dom Corps encourages and promotes the good work of non-profit, faith- based, and community organizations. Through the President's Greeter Pro- gram and the President's Volunteer Service Award, USA Freedom Corps and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation recognize Americans who have made serving their neighbors a central part of their lives. USA Freedom Corps has also created a comprehensive network of volunteer opportunities to help more Americans find ways to get involved in serving their communities. Through USA Freedom Corps, my Administration will continue to build a culture of service, citizenship, and responsibility in our country. To learn more about opportunities for volunteering, citizens can visit the USA Free- dom Corps website at www.volunteer.gov. By working together for a cause greater than self, we can strengthen our Nation, one person, one neighbor- hood, and one community at a time. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the Fourth Anniversary of USA Freedom Corps. I call upon the citizens of this great country to find ways to volunteer and help their fellow Americans. I commend the efforts of USA Freedom Corps and all those who have already answered the call 5

 Proc. 7978 Title 3--The President to serve, and I encourage all Americans to donate their time, energy, and talents to the work ahead. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7978 of February 1, 2006 American Heart Month, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation More than 70 million Americans live with some form of heart disease, and this disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. During American Heart Month, we reinforce our commitment to fighting heart dis- ease by promoting awareness about its risks, its causes, and the ways to reduce the chance of developing this deadly illness. Many of the factors that lead to heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and obesity, can be controlled with commonsense steps and healthy lifestyles. Through the HealthierUS Initiative, my Admin- istration encourages Americans to work toward four simple goals that can lead to a healthy heart: exercise daily; develop good eating habits; avoid tobacco, drugs, and excessive alcohol; and take advantage of preventive screenings to detect problems early. First Lady Laura Bush helps lead "The Heart Truth" campaign through her Women's Health and Wellness Initiative. The campaign was launched by business, non-profit, and government organizations, including the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, to educate women about the risks of heart disease and to encourage them to make their cardiovascular health a pri- ority. Along with the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign, these initiatives use the red dress as a symbol to remind women to make healthy choices and talk with their doctors about heart disease. As a result of the Medicare Modernization Act, our seniors have more choices to prevent, diagnose, and treat potential problems before they be- come worse. Medicare now covers preventive screenings, a "Welcome to Medicare" physical for new beneficiaries, and innovative programs to help seniors fight chronic threats. I urge all Medicare beneficiaries to take ad- vantage of these measures as part of a healthy lifestyle. All Americans can improve their heart health and live longer, better lives by taking an active role in their health care decisions and consulting their physician for the latest information. As we observe American Heart Month, we recognize those battling heart disease; we express gratitude to the fam- ily members and friends who are a source of love and encouragement; and we commend the medical professionals and researchers who provide assist- ance and work to find cures and improve treatments. 6

 Proclamations Proc. 7979 In acknowledgement of the importance of the ongoing fight against cardio- vascular disease, the Congress, by Joint Resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 843; 36 U.S.C. 10\177), has requested that the President issue an annual proclamation designating February as "American Heart Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim February 2006 as American Heart Month, and I invite all Americans to participate in National Wear Red Day on Feb- ruary 3, 2006. I also invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of other areas subject to the iurisdiction of the United States, and the American people to join me in recognizing and re- affirming our commitment to combating heart disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of Feb- ruary, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7979 of February 3, 2006 National Consumer Protection Week, 2006 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation During National Consumer Protection Week, we highlight the importance of consumer education in the ongoing fight against fraud and encourage consumers to make wise decisions. Each year, nearly 25 million adults are victims of consumer fraud. These crimes damage lives and shake consumer confidence. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and other organizations recommend several steps that Americans can take to help protect themselves against fraud. First, con- sumers should be cautious about giving out personal information such as Social Security and account numbers. Second, they should be aware of the credentials of an organization before making a transaction, especially through the mail, over the phone, or on the Internet. Third, before final- izing a purchase or agreement, the FTC suggests considering offers with care, avoiding immediate decisions, and requesting to have information in writing. In addition, when using the Internet, the FTC recommends that consumers exercise caution in responding to solicitations and that con- sumers use and regularly update their anti-virus software and firewall. My Administration is committed to vigorous enforcement of the consumer protection statutes, and the Department of Justice's Office of Consumer Liti- gation and other Federal agencies are working diligently to that end. The FTC is working to fight unsolicited e-mail under the Controlling the As- sault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act and is establishing new rules under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act to further protect against identity theft. We are protecting American consumers through the National Do-Not-Call Registry. Millions of Americans have reg- istered already, and individuals may call 1-888-382-1222 or visit the Do- 7

BUSH Proclamation 7980 of February 6, 2006 Death of Coretta Scott King By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation As a mark of respect for the memory of Coretta Scott King, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that on February 7, 2006, the day of her interment, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval sta- tions, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and pos- sessions until sunset on such day.

 Proclamations Proc. 7981 Proclamation 7981 of February 22, 2006 To Modify the Duty Free Treatment Under the Genera]ized System of Preferences By the President o/the United States o/America A Proclamation 1. Section 502 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the "\177974 Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 2462), authorizes the President to designate countries as beneficiary developing countries, and to designate any beneficiary developing country as a least-developed beneficiary developing country, for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program. 2. Pursuant to section 502 of the \177974 Act, and taking into account the fac- tors set forth in section 502(c) (\1779 U.S.C. 2462(c)), I have determined that the suspension pursuant to Proclamation 6123 of April 26, \177990, of pref- erential treatment for Liberia as a beneficiary developing country under the GSP should be ended. 3. Pursuant to section 502 of the \177974 Act, and having considered the fac- tors set forth in sections 50\177 (\1779 U.S.C. 2461) and 502(c), I have also deter- mined that Liberia should be designated as a least-developed beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. 4. Section 604 of the \177974 Act (\1779 U.S.C. 2483), as amended, authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) of the United States the substance of relevant provisions of that Act, or other acts affecting import treatment, and of actions taken thereunder. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including title V and section 604 of the \177974 Act (\1779 U.S.C. 2461-67, 2483), do proclaim that: (\177) In order to reflect in the HTS the restoration of preferential treatment for Liberia as a beneficiary developing country under the GSP, general note 4(a) is modified by adding in alphabetical order "Liberia" to the list enti- tled "Independent Countries." (2) In order to reflect in the HTS the designation of Liberia as a least- developed beneficiary developing country under the GSP, general note 4(b)(i) is modified by adding in alphabetical order "Liberia."

 Proc. 7982 Title 3--The President IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7982 of February 24, 2006 American Red Cross Month By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation Throughout our Nation's history, Americans have worked together to care for those in need. The work of the American Red Cross exemplifies this tradition and reflects the good heart of our country. This year during Amer- ican Red Cross Month, we recognize this organization for its 125 years of faithful service to our Nation and for its continued mission to help those in need at home and abroad. Since Clara Barton founded the organization in 1881, the American Red Cross has offered aid and disaster relief to millions of individuals. From conducting blood drives and arranging family communications and other forms of support for our troops to providing relief for victims of natural disasters, the American Red Cross carries out emergency response around the globe. Local chapters help American communities respond to regional catastrophes and promote emergency preparedness with American Red Cross First Aid and CPR courses. Members of these chapters serve their communities by visiting homebound seniors, mentoting youth, distributing hot lunches, volunteering at homeless shelters, and offering transitional housing. They also educate young people on violence and substance abuse prevention and help in hospitals and nursing homes. In 2005, a devastating hurricane season left millions displaced and home- less. The American Red Cross network of more than 800 chapters and thou- sands of volunteers provided food, shelter, counseling, and care to more than a million Gulf Coast families. Working in coordination with the Inter- national Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, the American Red Cross has also assisted with relief efforts for victims of hurricanes and landslides in Latin America and the recent earthquake in South Asia. By donating their time and energy to selfiessly serve others, American Red Cross volunteers demonstrate the compassion and generosity for which Americans are known. Their service paves the way to a brighter future for our citizens and people around the world. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American Red Cross, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2006 as American Red Cross Month. I commend the good work of the American Red Cross, and I encourage all Americans to continue to help the recovery efforts in the Gulf Coast region and around the world through volunteering their time, energy, and talents for others. 10

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7983 of February 24, 2006 Irish-American Heritage Month By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The histories of Ireland and the United States are deeply intertwined. For generations, the sons and daughters of Ireland have come to America with a spirit of determination and optimism that has strengthened our Nation's character and enriched our history. During Irish-American Heritage Month, we celebrate Irish Americans and the significant contributions they have made to our Nation. During the Great Potato Famine of the 19th century, approximately 1 mil- lion Irish came to America. And over the last 150 years, millions more have come from Ireland to the United States. In this country, Irish Ameri- cans have ably served in their communities, in the government, and in the Armed Forces. They have achieved great success in all walks of life. Ac- tress Grace Kelly entertained us and influenced our culture; industrialist Henry Ford transformed factory production and transportation; and Presi- dent Ronald Reagan dedicated himself to the spread of peace, liberty, and democracy, helping to change our country and the world. This month, we recognize the proud history and many accomplishments of Irish Americans. Our Nation is grateful for the role they have played in de- fending and renewing the ideals that we cherish. Their hard work, firm val- ues, and strong faith have made our Nation a better place. NOW, THEREFORE I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2006 as Irish-Amer- ican Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month by celebrating the contributions of Irish Americans to our Nation.

 Proc. 7984 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7984 of February 27, 2006 Establishment of the African American Burial Ground National Monument By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation In Lower Manhattan, at the corners of Duane and Elk Streets, lies an unde- veloped parcel of approximately 15,000 square feet that constitutes a re- maining portion of New York City's early African Burial Ground. The site is part of an approximately 7-acre National Historic Landmark established on April 19, 1\365\3653. From the 16\3650s to the 17\3650s, the African Burial Ground served as the final resting place of enslaved and free Africans in New York City, New York. It contains the remains of those interred, as well as the archeologica] resources and artifacts associated with their burials.

 Proc. 7985 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7985 of February 27, 2006 Women's History Month By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation For generations, women across our great land have helped make our coun- try stronger and better. They have improved our communities and played a vital role in achieving justice and equal rights for all our citizens. During Women's History Month, we celebrate the many contributions women make to our society. At the end of the 19th century, pioneers ]ane Addams and Ellen Starr opened the doors of Hull House to serve impoverished and immigrant fami- lies in the Chicago community. Presidential Medal of Freedom winner Annie Dodge Wauneka worked to educate her native Navaio community about preventing and treating disease. In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, helping to inspire a nationwide movement for equal iustice under the law. Recently, our Nation said goodbye to another remarkable American woman and courageous civil rights leader, Coretta Scott King, who helped call America to its founding ideals. Today, the United States of America remains a country that offers the great- est freedom on Earth and believes in the promise of all individuals. Women continue to strengthen our Nation and the world by excelling as leaders in all walks of life, including business, law, politics, family life, education, community service, science, medicine, and the arts. The brave women who wear the uniform of the United States Armed Forces are helping to lay the foundations of peace and freedom for generations to come. This month, I encourage all Americans to ioin me in celebrating the extraordinary achievements and contributions of American women. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2006 as Women's His- tory Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with appro- priate ceremonies and activities to honor the history, accomplishments, and contributions of all American women. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

 Proclamations Proc. 7986 Proclamation 7986 of February 27, 2006 Save Your Vision Week, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Many Americans suffer from diseases and disorders of the eye that can af- fect their vision and quality of life. During Save Your Vision Week, we highlight how basic eye care and protection can help citizens maintain and enioy healthy eyesight. An important part of ensuring physical well-being includes making healthy choices and adopting habits that can prevent disease and iniury. Many of the problems that lead to blindness each year can be avoided with simple steps to protect the eyes, such as wearing sunglasses and using protective eyewear while working in hazardous environments or participating in sports. Because the first noticeable symptom of many eye diseases is often vision loss, early detection is vital. As a result of the Medicare Modernization Act, diabetes screenings and glaucoma tests for eligible beneficiaries are now covered by Medicare as a part of an initial physical exam for new Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare also covers glaucoma screenings for beneficiaries with diabetes who are at high risk or have a family history of the disease. I encourage America's seniors to act to preserve their vision by taking ad- vantage of this health care benefit. And I urge all Americans to have regular eye examinations as part of their health care routines. By raising awareness about the importance of preventing eye problems and the measures citizens can take to protect their vision and by providing greater access for the detection and treatment of eye diseases, we can con- tinue to work toward a healthier Nation where more Americans enioy the gift of healthy vision. The Congress, by ioint resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. 138), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as "Save Your Vision Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 5 through March 11, 2006, as Save Your Vision Week. I encourage all Americans to make eye care and eye safety an important part of their lives. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

 Proc. 7987 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7987 of February 28, 2006 To Implement the Dominican Republic-Central America- United States Free Trade Agreement By the President of the United States o/America A Proc]amation 1. On August 5, 2004, the United States entered into the Dominican Repub- lic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (the "Agreement") with Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, E1 Salvador, Guatemala, Hon- duras, and Nicaragua (the "Agreement countries"). The Agreement was ap- proved by the Congress in section 10\177(a) of the Dominican Republic-Cen- tral America-United States Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (the "Act")(Public Law ]09-53, ]]9 Stat. 462)(19 U.S.C. 400] note). 2. Section \17705(a) of the Act authorizes the President to establish or des- ignate within the Department of Commerce an office that shall be respon- sible for providing administrative assistance to panels established under Chapter Twenty of the Agreement. 3. Section 20\177 of the Act authorizes the President to proclaim such modi- fications or continuation of any duty, such continuation of duty-free or ex- cise treatment, or such additional duties, as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out or apply Articles 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.2% 3.26, 3.27, and 3.28, and Annexes 3.3 (including the schedule of United States duty reductions with respect to originating goods), 3.27, and 3.28 of the Agreement. 4. Consistent with section 201(a)(2) of the Act, each Agreement country is to be removed from the enumeration of designated beneficiary developing countries eligible for the benefits of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) on the date the Agreement enters into force with respect to that country. 5. Consistent with section 20\177(a)(3) of the Act, each Agreement country is to be removed from the enumeration of designated beneficiary countries under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA)(]9 U.S.C. 270] et seq.) on the date the Agreement enters into force with respect to that country, subiect to the exceptions set out in section 20\177(a)(3)(B) of the Act. 6. Consistent with section 213(b)(5)(D) of the CBERA, as amended by the United States-Caribbean Basin Trade Partnership Act (CBTPA)(Public Law ]06-200), each Agreement country is to be removed from the enumeration of designated CBTPA beneficiary countries on the date the Agreement en- ters into force with respect to that country. 7. Section 203 of the Act provides certain rules for determining whether a good is an originating good for the purpose of implementing preferential tariff treatment under the Agreement. I have decided that it is necessary to include these rules of origin, together with particular rules applicable to certain other goods, in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). 8. Section 203(0) of the Act authorizes the President to determine that a fabric, yarn, or fiber is not available in commercial quantities in a timely 18

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7988 of March 10, 2006 National Poison Prevention Week By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation National Poison Prevention Week helps raise awareness about the dangers of poison exposure. Our Nation has made great progress in reducing the number of poison-related deaths and injuries since the first National Poison Prevention Week in 1962, yet poisonings remain a threat to the health and safety of many Americans. Approximately 1 million of our Nation's children under the age of 5 are exposed to poisonous substances each year. Most of these instances are pre- ventable and result from the ingestion of household products. The Con- sumer Product Safety Commission requires child-resistant packaging for many medicines and household chemicals, and it is important for parents and adults to remember to act responsibly by storing these substances out of the reach of children. The most common cause of death due to accidental poisoning results from exposure to carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless gas that is produced by products such as grills, gas stoves, water heaters, and automobiles. Every year, more than 500 Americans die from carbon monoxide poisoning, usually during winter months. Knowledge is the key to preventing this kind of poisoning. Placing a carbon monoxide alarm on each level of a home, and especially near bedrooms, is a good way to monitor air quality and remain alert to potentially high levels of carbon monoxide. Information about poison exposure and how homes can be made safer is available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, www. cdc.gov/health/poisoning.html, and the Poison Prevention Week Council website, www.poisonprevention.org. In case of emergency, families can contact their nearest Poison Control Center, 24 hours a day, 7 days a 21

 Proc. 7989 Title 3--The President week, by calling 1-800-222-1222. By working together and taking the ap- propriate precautions, we can help to prevent deaths and injuries caused by accidental poisonings. To encourage Americans to learn more about the dangers of accidental poisonings and to take appropriate preventive measures, the Congress, by joint resolution approved September 26, 1\36561, as amended (75 Stat. 681), has requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week of March each year as "National Poison Prevention Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 19 through March 25, 2006, as Na- tional Poison Prevention Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week by participating in appropriate activities and by learning how to pre- vent poisonings, especially among children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7989 of March 17, 2006 Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On Greek Independence Day, we celebrate the proud heritage of Greek Americans, recognize the longstanding friendship between the United States and Greece, and reaffirm our shared desire to spread freedom to peo- ple around the world. Greece is the birthplace of democratic principles, and the story of modern Greek independence demonstrates the power of liberty. On March 25, 1821, Greek revolutionaries declared their independence from the Ottoman Em- pire after centuries of imperial rule. This bold action began an 11-year war to secure their freedom and gain recognition as a sovereign country. Ameri- cans at the time identified with the Greek struggle and provided support to aid the effort. Leaders such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and ]ames Madison encouraged the Greek cause and supported the desire for a rep- resentative government that would ensure liberty and justice for all its citi- zens, and they offered our Constitution as a model for consideration. A strong cooperation and friendship has developed between Greece and America, and our Nation has benefited from the contributions of Greek im- migrants. The hard work of Greek Americans has made our country strong- er and influenced our literature, arts, businesses, politics, education, and entertainment. The faith, traditions, and patriotism of Greek Americans have enriched our society. 22

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7990 of March 23, 2006 Small Business Week, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The entrepreneurial spirit of America is robust and strong, and small busi- nesses are thriving throughout our great Nation. The opportunity to own a business is an important part of the American dream. During Small Busi- ness Week, we celebrate small business owners and employees who are willing to take risks and work hard in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their families. Our economy has created almost 5 million jobs since August 2003. Small businesses create most new jobs in our country, and small businesses have been a driving force behind America's tremendous economic growth and job creation. By adopting sound economic policies that help small busi- nesses continue to grow and expand, we will keep our economy moving forward and create more jobs for American workers. My Administration remains committed to fostering an environment where innovation succeeds and small businesses can flourish. We are working with the Congress to make the tax relief permanent and to pass Association Health Plans to allow small businesses to join together and buy insurance at the same discounts big businesses receive. We are encouraging small business owners and employees to consider health savings accounts, which help small businesses provide health insurance for their workers and give consumers greater flexibility in how they spend their dollars. We also are continuing to work to open new markets for American products and serv- ices abroad. Putting a stop to the frivolous lawsuits that drive up the cost of doing business will further help small businesses enhance the quality of life for their employees and their communities. 23
