	Close the Stormwater Rule Loophole!
		In order to close a loophole, DEP has issued a revised stormwater rule that grandfathers and allows developments having preliminary local approval AND one of four state land use permits to be EXEMPT from the stormwater rules.
		I urge you to make the language changes necessary to the proposed regulations to ensure that development projects which do not have all final approvals and permits in hand cannot in any way be grandfathered and/or exempted from the necessary requirements of the new proposed stormwater regulations.
		Environmentalists said they were glad the DEP was closing the loophole, but irked at the delay and wary that the new grandfathering clause would also be too broad.

	MapCruzin - Summary of Recycling Loophole Report
		This "recycling loophole" in right-to-know reporting is diminishing the value of one of the nation's only multi-media laws governing toxic pollution.
		Thus, the recycling loophole serves as a disincentive for companies to achieve genuine pollution prevention and could easily mislead both government and the public about the true extent of pollution prevention progress.
		However, the recycling loophole deprives the public of critical information needed to assess the effectiveness of these laws, and conceals information needed to assess the effectiveness of recent pollution prevention initiatives.

	BESS's Secret LOOPHOLE (censorware vs. privacy & anonymity)
		And silly as it sounds, from the point of view of trying to leave the prisoner no conceivable way to harm themselves (that is, harm themselves by reading forbidden sites), they have to fllist the equivalent of toilet paper.
		Because of this feature, they provide a "loophole" that can be used to get around filtering software, i.e., they display a URL that is different from the one that appears on the filtering company's control list.
		The practice of blocking loophole sites necessarily results in a significant amount of overblocking, because the vast majority of the pages that are cached, for example, do not contain content that would match a filtering company's category definitions.

	VPC - Closing the Gun Show Loophole
		Overall, the gun show debate in the Senate and the subsequent debate in the House provided valuable insight into the most effective means to close the gun show loophole, as well as a road map to the routes most likely to be traveled by those working to sabotage these efforts.
		It will simply be unproductive to try to close the gun show loophole with legislation that has the effect only of opening new loopholes in federal law.
		Criminals are sure to exploit a "let's step outside" loophole that would allow unscrupulous gun sellers to use gun shows as venues for arranging sales and then finalizing them off-site to avoid background checks.

	USATODAY.com - Closing tax loophole could spur SUV sales (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		But as word spreads that the tax loophole is ending, sales could pick up among businesses looking for year-end tax breaks.
		Congress passed and President Bush is expected to sign into law a corporate tax bill that — among other things — would make sport-utility vehicles weighing more than 6,000 pounds subject to the same $25,000 tax break as other vehicles used by businesses.
		The measure would close a loophole that lets business owners deduct up to $100,000 of the cost of an SUV if the vehicle was primarily used for business.

	Close the Gun Show Loophole! [Free Republic]
		A loophole, by definition, is a portion of law which "slipped through the cracks", an unintentional result of poorly-written legislation.
		The very idea of such a "loophole" did not even enter into American parlance until years after the passage of the Brady Bill into law, and then only due to the efforts of anti-firearms lobbying groups.
		These groups, with a vested financial interest in maintaining fear and loathing amongst the general public towards firearms and their owners, cannot be allowed to direct public policy with their hatred, fear, and narrow-mindedness.

	AlterNet: Loopholes Big Enough To Drive Through
		The rub, the infamous "loophole," is that the law makes no distinction between an accountant commuting in a Hummer and a contractor updating a fleet of pickups.
		The deduction, up to $25,000 until May, was raised to $100,000 as a part of President Bush's recent "economic stimulus package." This 300 percent increase passed despite widespread criticism that the loophole clearly encourages the purchase of unnecessary gas-guzzling SUVs like the rugged Lincoln Navigator and that trusty workhorse, the Mercedes ML-55.
		With all this political clout behind the loophole it's difficult to envision politicians, without a significant outcry from their constituents, lining up to close it.

	WorkingForChange-Closing the loophole

	THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX LOOPHOLE
		However, one type of investment income – capital gains, income from sale of stock or commercial property – is either tax free or taxed at a much lower rate.
		The law creating this loophole was passed without debate or even public notice in the closing hours of the 1994 legislative session.
		The top one percent of taxpayers, with an average income of over $1 million, receives three-quarters (76%) of the benefits of the loophole, three times as much as all the rest of us combined.

	Op-Ed: The Gun Show "Loophole" Fraud -- Part III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bennett says the "most persuasive" data concerning the "loophole" problem is that the ATF has said that gun shows are the second leading source of guns recovered in firearms trafficking investigations.
		The case for closing the gun show "loophole" must be dismissed for a lack of evidence showing that this "loophole" is a problem.
		In my next and final column, for now, regarding the gun show "loophole," we'll peer, in some excruciating detail, into the mind of Arnie Grossman, who reveals in an interview that a mind is, indeed, a terrible thing to waste.

		Doctors are set to exploit a loophole in the Federal Government's MedicarePlus scheme by restructuring fees to give patients cheaper medical care, courtesy of the taxpayer.

	Statement on the Bush Administration's Dual-Fuel Loophole Extension (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Bush administration is touting this hypocritical loophole as an incentive "to spur the continued development and use of alternate-fuel-powered vehicles." What is disturbing is that just two weeks ago the Bush Administration announced that it was ending a program that required private and local government fleets to acquire alternative fuel vehicles.
		Because automakers use the dual-fuel loophole to evade federal fuel economy standards by getting extra credits towards meeting federal fuel economy standards.
		The loophole allows automakers to build more gas-guzzlers, increasing America’s oil dependence and putting more heat-trapping global warming pollution into the atmosphere.

	Could U.S. give terrorists green cards?(Weldon, Atta)
		An immigration reform group says a loophole in a "mini-amnesty" bill favored by the Bush administration and already passed by the House could allow terrorists to apply for and receive permission to be in the United States.
		According to a briefing provided to Congress by the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the loophole exists in legislation passed by one vote in the House March 12.
		"The legal issues raised by this loophole have national security implications" that could be far-reaching, the group asserted.

	NRDC Press Archive: Court Rejects EPA Appeal to Resurrect Clean Air Act Loophole
		If you are not a member of the press, please write to us at nrdcinfo@nrdc.org or see our contact page.
		Three judges on the court had ruled on March 17 that a loophole the EPA adopted for the new source review program violated the law by allowing thousands of aging power plants and other facilities to avoid installing modern-day pollution controls and emit more air pollution.
		The loophole the court rejected in March was a clear violation of the Clean Air Act and would have allowed industrial facilities across the country to pump out millions of tons of additional air pollution.

	washingtonpost.com: Businesses Jump on an SUV Loophole
		The "SUV loophole" once seemed to be just a quirk in the tax code -- deplored by environmental activists but ignored by most everyone else.
		Now it is shaping up to be a marketing bonanza for financial planners, accountants and auto dealers eager to snap up commissions and drive up sales of heavy vehicles, ranging from workhorse Ford F-250 pickup trucks to elite Hummer H2s, BMW X5s and Mercedes-Benz ML55s.
		The Senate Finance Committee voted to plug the loophole in a little-noticed provision in a broader corporate tax bill that it approved last month.

	sketch show, loophole
		Quite incredible album from Sketch Show, a project that has risen from the ashes of the legendary Yellow Magic Orchestra (Haruomi Hososno and Yukihiro Takahashi).
		"Loophole" evolves through its delicate popping microscopic clicks and pop structures into what sounds like a singer songwriter fairytale album fed through a laptop and spat out covered in velvet and loose wires.
		It sounds like an album that took a lifetime to record, not a glitch or scratch out of place, the threadbare vocals judged to perfection : fragile, vulnerable, touched.

		H.R. 5746 would address the ILC loophole by prohibiting any additional commercial firms from directly or indirectly controlling an industrial bank.
