 Hazardous Materials: Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading, and Storage; Final Rule
When performed by shipper personnel, loading of packaged or containerized hazardous material onto a transport vehicle, aircraft, or vessel and filling a bulk packaging with hazardous material in the absence of a carrier for the purpose of transporting it is a pre-transportation function as that term was defined in the October 30, 2003 final rule.
Thus, the carrier's responsibility for the hazardous material provides the most reliable method to distinguish between loading, unloading, and storage that is incidental to the movement of property in commerce and loading, unloading, and storage that is being performed for some other purpose unrelated to the movement of property in commerce.
A hazardous materials transportation security plan need not cover hazardous materials stored at a facility for use at the facility or prior to their preparation for transportation; similarly, a security plan need not cover hazardous materials delivered to a facility for use at the facility.

In the case of hazardous materials transportation security, the flexibility provided by a performance standard permits a company to implement a security plan that is tailored to its specific circumstances and operations.
Factors that may be considered are the type or types of materials transported, the quantity of material transported, the area from or to which the material is shipped, and the mode of transportation used.
Because many hazardous materials transported in commerce may potentially be used as weapons of mass destruction or weapons of convenience, it is critical to the assurance of public safety that training for persons who offer and transport hazardous materials in commerce include a security component.

One way to discriminate between the two models of human origins is to place all of the relevant fossil material on a time chart according to the probable dates for each of the fossil individuals and to evaluate the results as to whether the evidence favors an evolutionary or a morphological continuum.

 Sexual Harassment Guidance 1997
By having a strong policy against sex discrimination and accessible, effective, and fairly applied grievance procedures, a school is telling its students that it does not tolerate sexual harassment and that students can report it without fear of adverse consequences.
In cases involving secondary students, there will be a strong presumption that sexual conduct between an adult school employee and a student is not consensual.
If the student continues to ask that his or her name not be revealed, the school should take all reasonable steps to investigate and respond to the complaint consistent with that request as long as doing so does not preclude the school from responding effectively to the harassment and preventing harassment of other students.
