197990557Washington DC: U. S. Government Printing Office 1979. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. 52 4 pages This Report expresses the approval of the Senate of the Department of Energy Standby Gasoline Rationing Plan No. 1. It addresses the Purpose of the Measure; Background and Need Legislative History and Committee Recommendation Cost and Budgetary Considerations Regulatory Impact Evaluation and Executive Communications. Rationing Plan No. 80-1 issued by the Office of Regulations and Emergency Planning Economic Regulatory Administration U.S. Department of Energy. The objectives of the rationing plan are to provide a mechanism capable of maintaining an orderly and equitable market for gasoline in a severe supply shortfall and capable of rapid implementation; and to comply with requirements of EPCA which mandates the development of a contingency rationing plan. Eligibility for ration allotments will be based principally on motor vehicle registration records maintained in a national vehicle registration file. Supplemental allotments will be granted for certain priority activities to ensure the maintenance of essential public services. Supplemental allotments will also be granted to businesses and government organizations with significant off-highway gasoline requirements. Local rationing boards or other offices will be established by states to provide special allotments to hardship applicants within DOE guidelines. The background and history of the plan are described. The Economic Regulatory Administration issues rules with respect to standby gasoline rationing. The plan is designed for and would be used only in the event of a severe gasoline shortage. The plan provides that eligibility for ration allotments will be primarily on the basis of motor vehicle registrations. DOE will mail government ration checks to the parties named in a national vehicle registration file to be maintained by DOE. Ration recipients may cash these checks for ration coupons at various designated coupon issuance points. Retail outlets and other suppliers will be required to redeem the ration coupons received in exchange for gasoline sold. Supplemental gas will be given to high-priority activities. A ration banking system will be established with two separate and distinct of ration accounts: retail outlets and other suppliers will open redemption accounts for the deposit of redeemed ration rights; and individuals or firms may open ration rights accounts which will operate in much the same manner as monetary checking accounts. A white market will be permitted for the sale of transfer of ration rights. A percentage of the total ration rights to be issued will be reserved for distribution to the states as a State Ration Reserve to be used by the states primarily for the relief of hardship. A National Ration Reserve will also be established. U. S. Government Printing Office paperback

US Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Civil Service, Post Office, and General Services U SBiblio.com

Implementation of the Nine-Digit Zip Code; Hearing before the Subcommittee on Civil Service Post Office and General Services of the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Ninety-seventh Congress First Session on S. J. Res 11 S. 539 and S. 678 February 24 and April 29 1981

198191175Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1981. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iv 120 1 pages. Wraps. Tabular Data. The 1981 Senate hearings regarding the implementation of the nine-digit ZIP code ZIP4 were marked by intense debate over automation costs and mandatory versus voluntary usage. The hearings primarily held before the Subcommittee on Civil Service Post Office and General Services aimed to address public and Congressional concerns that the system was premature and overly burdensome. A major focus was ensuring the new longer code would be voluntary specifically for residential users to alleviate public fear of forced compliance. Postmaster General Bolger testified that he supported making it voluntary except for bulk mailers seeking discounts. Critics in the Senate such as Senator David Durenberger and Senator Roger Jepsen argued that the system was not fully tested might increase costs and that the public did not want it. The program was designed to cut costs through automated mail sorting using optical character readers OCRs. In April 1981 Congress considered legislation to block the June 1 1981 implementation date proposed by the Postal Service with leaders calling for a cost-benefit analysis. Despite the contention the Senate moved forward with the program with the legislative battle continuing through the end of the year eventually leading to the authorization of the program by late 1981 with full implementation planned for subsequent years. The hearings highlighted the transition from manual to automated mail processing and the friction caused by requiring the public to adopt a more detailed addressing system. The nine-digit zip code ZIP4 was introduced by the USPS in 1983 to improve mail sorting automation and speed up delivery. It adds a four-digit suffix to the original five-digit code identifying specific geographic segments—such as a city block apartment building or individual high-volume receiver. The first five digits define the region and local post office. The added 4 indicates a sector several blocks and a segment one side of a street. The system allows automated machinery to sort mail to smaller more precise delivery areas reducing manual handling. While proposed earlier the extended code was officially introduced in 1983. Initial uptake was slow due to a at the time small incentive for large-scale mailers. It provided increased accuracy faster delivery times sometimes up to two days faster and reduced costs for bulk mailers. While not mandatory for citizens it is heavily used by businesses for address verification mailing efficiency and better logistical analytics. The system evolved from the original 1963 five-digit Zone Improvement Plan ZIP to handle growing mail volumes. U.S. Government Printing Office paperback

Transfer of Authorities For Implementation of Building Energy Performance Standards; Hearing before the Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Ninety-sixth Congress First Session s. 1604 November 20 1979

198091177Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 1980. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 196 pages. Wraps. The Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs held a hearing on November 20 1979 regarding the transfer of authorities for implementing Building Energy Performance Standards BEPS. This hearing often linked to S. 1604 focused on shifting responsibility for implementing energy standards for new buildings mandated by the 1976 Energy Conservation and Production Act. The hearing addressed the transfer of authority for implementing mandatory energy performance standards for new commercial and residential buildings. The discussions related to implementing energy conservation measures to reduce petroleum and natural gas dependence often associated with the oversight of standards mandated by Congress in the mid-1970s. The debate followed the 1976 Act Pub.L. 94-385 which required energy standards for new buildings. This period was characterized by federal attempts to strengthen energy conservation in the built environment through mandated standards which were later further developed in the early 1980s. Among the witnesses were Donald Carter Richard Fleming William Hanna Jr. Clinton Phillips Richard Rowberg Maxine Savitz John Sawhill Herman Smith and Grant Thompson. The transfer of authorities for implementing Building Energy Performance Standards BEPS involves shifting regulatory oversight to specialized environmental agencies such as in Maryland where the Department of the Environment establishes standards or in Montgomery County where the Department of Environmental Protection DEP manages compliance to achieve net-zero goals. These actions often transition authority from local departments to specialized energy/environmental departments to ensure adherence to energy reduction goals such as mandatory retrofits by 2040 and phased reporting for owners. These transfers often occurring through state or local legislation are intended to provide the necessary legal technical and regulatory infrastructure to achieve local or federal climate goals such as those mandated by Executive Order 14057 for federal buildings.

Berlin - die deutsche Hauptstadt (Ausstellung 1962). - Senat der Stadt Berlin (Herausgeber)Biblio.com

Dokumentation der Wanderausstellung "Berlin - die deutsche Hauptstadt" aus den Jahren 1962-1964.

19628221C1962. Berlin/West. 1962. Verschiedene Formate. 34 Photographien. Original-Photographien montiert auf Karton im zeitgenössischen dunkelroten Plastik-Sammelordner. Trägerkarton mit geringen Gebrauchsspuren sonst gut erhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Dokumentation der mittlerweile historischen Wanderausstellung "Berlin - Die deutsche Hauptstadt" aus dem Jahr 1962. Verantwortet vom West-Berliner Senat ging die Ausstellung in den Jahren nach 1962 vielfach auf Reisen durch die damalige Bundesrepublik West-Deutschland und darüber hinaus. Die Berliner Ausstellung bestand aus Photographien Texten Schautafeln Karten Plänen und zahlreichen Exponaten aus der Berliner Stadt- und Kulturgeschichte in Vitrinen. Ziel der Ausstellung war die Darstellung der Berliner Entwicklung von der einst bedeutenden Reichshauptstadt bis zum zerstörten Berlin nach 1945 und zur seit 1961 sogar geteilten Stadt. Die Photographien stammen aus dem Nachlaß des Berliner Gebrauchsgrafikers Werner Gruschke. Er hatte diese auf Karton montiert und in einem Ordner zur Berliner Ausstellung sortiert. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit war Werner Gruschke zeitgenössisch an der Gestaltung der umfassenden Ausstellung mitbeteiligt und legte deshalb auch Wert auf eine Dokumentation der temporären Ausstellung. Da die Berlin-Ausstellung in zahlreichen Städten Westdeutschlands gezeigt wurde seit 1962 musste sie auch mehrfach ausgebessert ersetzt und durch neue Materialien verstärkt werden. Vermutlich hat sich die genaue Zusammensetzung der Ausstellung in den Jahren 1962-1964 auch verändert. Auch ist die Ausstellung unter dem Titel "Berlin - Bollwerk der Freiheit" in den Niederlanden und möglicherweise auch in anderen europäischen Ländern gezeigt worden. Wahrscheinlich ist daß es sich hier nur um einen bestimmten Teil - zum Beispiel um den Fokus "Berliner Teilung" - gehandelt hat. Enthalten sind insgesamt vierunddreißig Original-Photographien in verschiedenen Formaten: 104 x 14 cm / 115 x 175 cm / 172 x 235 cm. Die Aufnahmen zeigen mehrere der damaligen Ausstellungsräume mit Blick auf Tafeln und ihre Inhalte Vitrinen und sonstige Visualisierungen. Die Ausstellung reichte damals von preußisch-berlinischer Geschichte bis hin zur geteilten Stadt und umfasste auch Bereiche wie Architektur Kunst oder Porzellan. Die Wanderausstellung über das Berlin von 1962 - damals nur noch ein Schatten der einstigen Reichshauptstadt - wurde von weit über einer Million Menschen gesehen. Enthalten in der Dokumentation Gruschkes sind auch zwei zeitgenössische Zeitungsberichte über die Ausstellung und ihre Präsentation zwischen Schwarzwald und Den Haag. Von heute gesehen ein interessantes Stück neuerer Berliner Geschichte denn der Senat von West-Berlin präsentierte hier der bundesdeutschen und europäischen Öffentlichkeit auch ein neues Selbstverständnis der Stadt welche für Monarchie und NS-Herrschaft vor Augen stand und für letztere auch mit ihrer Zerstörung und sogar einer Teilung zahlte. Sehr interessante Dokumentation aus den 1960er Jahren! unknown
