The Court tells us nothing about Bracker itself, its reasoning, or its limits. Perhaps understandably so, for Bracker never purported to claim for this Court the raw power to 'balance' away tribal sovereignty in favor of state criminal jurisdiction over crimes by or against tribal members-let alone ordain a wholly different set of jurisdictional rules than Congress J., dissenting GORSUCH, already has. 143-144. With these rules in mind, the State's tax based on a Bracker involved a relatively minor civil dispute. Arizona sought to tax vehicles used by the White Mountain Apache Tribe in logging operations on tribal lands. See Bracker, 448 U. S., at 138-140. The Tribe opposed the effort, pointing to a federal law that regulated tribal logging but did not say anything about preempting the State's vehicle tax. See id., at 141, 145. The Court began by recognizing that the usual rules of preemption are not 'properly applied' to Tribes. Id., at 143. Instead, the Court started with the traditional ''backdrop'' presumption that States lack jurisdiction in Indian country. Ibid. And the Court explained that any ambiguities about the scope of federal law must be 'construed generously' in favor of the Tribes as sovereigns. Id., at the Court proceeded to turn back 'particularized inquiry into the nature of the state, federal, and tribal interests at stake.' Id., at 145.

Therefore, the question of whether the State of Oklahoma retains concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute non-Indian on Indian crimes in Indian country has suddenly assumed immense importance. The jurisdictional question has now been called. In light of the newfound significance of the question, it is necessary and appropriate for this Court to take its first hard look at the text and structure of the General Crimes Act, rather than relying on scattered dicta about a question that, until now, was relatively insignificant in the real world. After independently examining the question, we have concluded that the General Crimes Act does not preempt state jurisdiction over crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country. Castro-Huerta next invokes Public Law 280 as a source of preemption. That argument is similarly unpersuasive. Indian country. Indeed, the Public Law 280 affirmatively grants certain States broad jurisdiction to prosecute state-law offenses committed by or against Indians in Indian country. See 18 U. S. C. §1162.

But Public Law 280 does not preempt any preexisting or otherwise lawfully assumed jurisdiction that States possess to prosecute crimes in Court has already concluded as much: 'Nothing in the language or legislative history of Pub.

C., 467 ## Opinion of the Court"", ""Under the Court's precedents, as we will explain, a State's jurisdiction in Indian country may be preempted (i) by federal law under ordinary principles of federal preemption, or (ii) when the exercise of state jurisdiction would unlawfully infringe on tribal self-government. In Part III-A, we consider whether state authority to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country is preempted by federal law under ordinary principles of preemption. In Part III-B, we consider whether principles of tribal self-government preclude the exercise of state jurisdiction over crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country. A S. C. §1162; 25 U. S. C. §1321. NeiCastro-Huerta points to two federal laws that, in his view, preempt Oklahoma's authority to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country: (i) the General Crimes Act, which grants the Federal Government jurisdiction to prosecute crimes in Indian country, 18 U. S. C. §1152; and (ii) Public Law 280, which grants States, or authorizes States to acquire, certain additional jurisdiction over crimes committed in Indian country, 67 Stat. 588; see 18 U. ther statute preempts preexisting or otherwise lawfully assumed state authority to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country.

Id., at 142-143. Under Bracker's balancing test, the Court considers tribal interests, federal interests, and state interests. Id., at 145. Here, the exercise of state jurisdiction would not infringe on tribal self-government. And because a State's jurisdiction is concurrent with federal jurisdiction, a state prosecution would not preclude an earlier or later federal prosecution.

An OSHA Fact Sheet entitled Laboratory Safety - Noise has been developed to supplement this section and is available online at www.osha.gov. ## Safety Hazards Employers must assess tasks to identify potential worksite hazards and provide and ensure that workers use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as stated in the PPE standard, 29 CFR 1910.132. Employers must require workers to use appropriate hand protection when hands are exposed to hazards such as sharp instruments and potential thermal burns. Examples of PPE which may be selected include using oven mitts when handling hot items, and steel mesh or cut-resistant gloves when handling or sorting sharp instruments as stated in the Hand Protection standard, 29 CFR 1910.138. ## Autoclaves and Sterilizers Workers should be trained to recognize the potential for exposure to burns or cuts that can occur from handling or sorting hot sterilized items or sharp instruments when removing them from autoclaves/ sterilizers or from steam lines that service the autoclaves. In order to prevent injuries from occurring, employers must train workers to follow good work practices such as those outlined in the QuickCardTM highlighted below. ## An OSHA QuickFacts entitled Laboratory Safety - - Autoclaves/Sterilizers has been developed to supplement this section and is available online at www.osha.gov. ## Centrifuges Centrifuges, due to the high speed at which they operate, have great potential for injuring users if not operated properly. Unbalanced centrifuge rotors can result in injury, even death. Sample container breakage can generate aerosols that may be harmful if inhaled.', ""## Noise OSHA's Occupational Noise Exposure standard, 29 CFR 1910.95, requires employers to develop and implement a hearing conservation program that includes the use of PPE (e.g., hearing protectors), if workers are exposed to a time-weighted average (TWA) of ≥ 85 dBA over an 8-hour work shift. In addition, when workers are exposed to noise levels ≥ 85 dBA, the employer must develop a monitoring program to assess noise levels. The monitoring program must include the following components: - · All continuous, intermittent, and impulsive sound levels from 80-130 dBA must be included in noise measurements, 29 CFR 1910.95(d)(2)(i); - · Instruments used to measure worker noise exposure must be calibrated to ensure measurement accuracy, 29 CFR 1910.95(d)(2)(ii); and - · Monitoring must be repeated whenever a change in production, process, equipment, or controls increases noise exposures, 29 CFR 1910.95(d)(3). Laboratory workers are exposed to noise from a variety of sources. Operation of large analyzers (e.g., chemistry analyzer), fume hoods, biological safety cabinets, incubators, centrifuges (especially ultracentrifuges), cell washers, sonicators, and stirrer motors, all contribute to the noise level in laboratories. Further sources of noise in laboratories include fans and compressors for cryostats, refrigerators, refrigerated centrifuges, and freezers. As an example, a high-speed refrigerated centrifuge alone can generate noise levels as high as 65 dBA. To provide some further context, a whisper registers approximately 30 dBA; normal conversation about 50 to 60 dBA; a ringing phone 80 dBA and a power mower 90 dBA. If noise levels exceed 80 dBA, people must speak very loudly to be heard, while at noise levels of 85 to 90 dBA, people have to shout."", ""If noise levels exceed 80 dBA, people must speak very loudly to be heard, while at noise levels of 85 to 90 dBA, people have to shout. In order to determine if the noise levels in the laboratory are above the threshold level that damages hearing, the employer must conduct a noise exposure assessment using an approved sound level monitoring device, such as a dosimeter, and measuring an 8-hour TWA exposure. If the noise levels are found to exceed the threshold level, the employer must provide hearing protection at no cost to the workers and train them in the proper use of the protectors. The potential dangers of miscommunicating instructions or laboratory results are obvious, and efforts should be made to improve the design of clinical laboratories and to evaluate new instrumentation with regard to the impact of these factors on worker noise exposure. The employer should evaluate the possibility of relocating equipment to another area or using engineering controls to reduce the noise level below an 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA in order to comply with OSHA's Occupational Noise Exposure standard. While most laboratories' noise levels do not equal or exceed the 8-hour TWA of 85 dBA, certain accrediting agencies are implementing special emphasis programs on noise reduction in the laboratory. Because noise is becoming more of a concern in the clinical setting, the College of American Pathologists has added evaluation of noise in the laboratory under their general checklist for accreditation (GEN.70824). ## Health Effects Exposure to continuous noise may lead to the following stress-related symptoms: - · Depression; - · Irritability; - · Decreased concentration in the workplace; - · Reduced efficiency and decreased productivity; - · Noise-induced hearing loss; - · Tinnitus (i.e., ringing in the ears); and - · Increased errors in laboratory work.

At noise levels of 85 to 90 dBA, people typically have to shout to be heard, which is when hearing protection becomes mandatory.

Unlike traditional health insurance, an HMO sets out guidelines under which doctors can operate. On average, an HMO costs less than comparable traditional health insurance, with a trade-off of limitations on the range of treatments available. Unlike many traditional insurers, HMOs do not merely provide financing for medical care. The HMO actually delivers the treatment as well. Doctors, hospitals and insurers all participate in the HMO business arrangement. The NAIC has adopted a model law and regulation that governs the licensure of HMOs: the Health Maintenance Organization Model Act (#430) and the Model Regulation to Implement Rules Regarding Contracts and Services of Health Maintenance Organization (#432). In most cases, access to an HMO is only available to employer group plans. ## Preferred Provider Organizations A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a group of doctors and/or hospitals that provides medical service only to a specific group or association. The PPO may be sponsored by a particular insurance company, one or more employers, or some other type of organization. PPO physicians provide medical services to the policyholders, employees or members of the sponsor(s) at discounted rates, and they may set up utilization review programs to help control the cost of medical care. In some states, managed care providers may be licensed by an agency outside the insurance department. 9 S ## Chapter 24 ## Managing General Agents A managing general agent (MGA) is an insurance producer authorized by an insurance company to manage all or part of the insurer's business in a specific geographic territory. Activities on behalf of the insurer may include marketing, underwriting, issuing policies, collecting premiums, appointing and supervising other agents, paying claims, and negotiating reinsurance. Many states regulate the activities and contracts of MGAs."", 'Many states regulate the activities and contracts of MGAs. The NAIC has adopted the Managing General Agents Act (#225) to guide the states in regulating MGAs. Under the model, an MGA is defined as any person who engages in all of the following: - 1. Negotiates and binds ceding reinsurance contracts on behalf of an insurer or manages all or part of the insurance business of an insurer-including the management of a separate division, department or underwriting office-and who acts as an agent for such insurer whether known as a managing general agent, manager or other similar term or title. - 2. With or without authority and either separately or together with affiliates, directly or indirectly produces and underwrites an amount of gross direct written premium equal to or greater than 5% of the policyholder surplus in any one quarter or year, as reported in the last annual statement of the insurer. - 3. Engages in either or both of the following: - (a) Adjusts or pays claims in excess of an amount determined by the insurance commissioner. - (b) Negotiates reinsurance on behalf of the insurer. Under the model, an MGA does not include any of the following: - 1. An employee of the insurer. - 2. A manager of a U.S. branch of an alien insurer who resides in this country. - 3. An underwriting manager who, pursuant to contract, manages all insurance operations of the insurer, who is under common control with the insurer, subject to [cite to state law] relating to the regulation of insurance holding company systems, and who is not compensated based upon the volume of premiums written. - 4. An insurance company, in connection with the acceptance or rejection of reinsurance on a block of business. - 5. The attorney-in-fact authorized by or acting for the subscribers of a reciprocal insurer or interinsurance exchange under a power of attorney. In most states, MGAs must be licensed as producers and are not allowed to place business until a written contract exists among all parties. Under Model #225, insurers are required to monitor the financial stability of MGAs under contract. 1 S ## Chapter 25 ## Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements', 'Members of the board are also policyholders. Individuals who sell products for small mutuals should be licensed as producers, as outlined in Model #218 and the Uniform Licensing Standards (ULS). 5 ## Chapter 22 ## Insurance Consultants An insurance consultant is a person who charges a fee for giving advice about insurance products. Not all states require a separate consultant license. In those states, the individual can obtain a producer license and abide by the disclosure provisions for insurance consultants. In states that do require a special license, the applicant is usually required to pass an examination. The exam may be either one of the same subject-matter examinations that insurance producers must pass or an examination specific to consultants. In states that require an examination, a waiver may be granted if the applicant can demonstrate a specified amount of insurance experience. States usually adopt exemptions from the consultant licensing requirement. The exemptions are available as long as the person is acting in his or her professional capacity or in the normal course of business. Common exemptions are: - 1. A licensed attorney. - 2. A trust officer of a bank. - 3. An actuary or certified public accountant. - 4. A risk manager who consults for his or her employer only. If a state requires appointments for insurance producers, appointments should not be required for insurance consultants. The consultant represents the insured and is not an agent of the insurance company. Some states prohibit an individual from holding both an insurance producer license and an insurance consultant license. Other states allow an insurance producer to function in either capacity with full disclosure. In all cases where an individual is acting as an insurance consultant, a written contract should be used to clearly explain the terms of the consultant arrangement. In states that have a separate insurance consultant license, it is a common practice to have a continuing education (CE) requirement that mirrors the CE requirement for insurance producers. 7 S ## Chapter 23 ## Managed Care Providers ## Health Maintenance Organizations']",medium,answer,"The 'golden rule' for doctors in an HMO is to operate under the guidelines set by the HMO.

In 2001, in response to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens standard. The revised standard clarifies the need for employers to select safer needle devices and to involve workers in identifying and choosing these devices. The updated standard also requires employers to maintain a log of injuries from contaminated sharps. OSHA estimates that 5.6 million workers in the healthcare industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, HBV, HCV, and others. All occupational exposure to blood or OPIM places workers at risk for infection with bloodborne pathogens. OSHA defines blood to mean human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood. OPIM means: (1) The following human body fluids: semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, pericardial fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, saliva in dental procedures, any body fluid that is visibly contaminated with blood, and all body fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids; (2) Any unfixed tissue or organ (other than intact skin) from a human (living or dead); and (3) HIV- or HBV-containing cell or tissue cultures, organ cultures, and HIV- or HBVcontaining culture medium or other solutions; and blood, organs, or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV.', ""| | Formaldehyde | Formaldehyde | Formaldehyde | |-------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Exposure routes | Symptoms | Target Organs | | Inhalation; Ingestion; Skin and/or eye contact. | Irritation of eyes, skin, nose, throat, respiratory system; Tearing; Coughing; Wheezing; Dermatitis; Potential occupational nasal carcin- ogen. | Eyes; Skin; Respiratory system. | ## Employers must provide the following to workers to prevent exposure: - · Appropriate PPE, 29 CFR 1910.132, 29 CFR 1910.133, and 29 CFR 1910.1048(h). - · Acceptable eyewash facilities within the immediate work area for emergency use, if there is any possibility that a worker's eyes may be splashed with solutions containing 0.1 percent or greater formaldehyde, 29 CFR 1910.1048(i)(3). ## Latex One of the most common chemicals that laboratory workers are exposed to is latex, a plant protein. The most common cause of latex allergy is direct contact with latex, a natural plant derivative used in making certain disposable gloves and other products. Some healthcare workers have been determined to be latex sensitive, with reactions ranging from localized dermatitis (skin irritation) to immediate, possibly life-threatening reactions. Under OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment standard, 29 CFR 1910.132, the employer must ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is accessible at the worksite or issued to workers. Latex-free gloves, glove liners, powder-free gloves, or other similar alternatives are obtainable and must be readily accessible to those workers who are allergic to latex gloves or other latex-containing PPE, 29 CFR 1910.1030(c)(3)(iii). Latex allergy should be suspected in workers who develop certain symptoms after latex exposure, including:"", '- n Hazard Communication: Foundation of Workplace Chemical Safety Programs http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/MSDSenforcementInitiative.html - n Hazard Communication - HAZCOM Program http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/solutions.html - n Hazardous Drugs http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/hazardousdrugs/index.html ## The Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories standard (29 CFR 1910.1450), commonly referred to as the Laboratory standard, requires that the employer designate a Chemical Hygiene Officer and have a written Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP), and actively verify that it remains effective.

Once a worker becomes allergic to latex, special precautions are needed to prevent exposures. Certain medications may reduce the allergic symptoms, but complete latex avoidance is the most effective approach. Appropriate work practices should be used to reduce the chance of reactions to latex. If a worker must wear latex gloves, oil-based hand creams or lotions (which can cause glove deterioration) should not be used unless they have been shown to reduce latex-related problems and maintain glove barrier protection. After removing latex gloves, workers should wash their hands with a mild soap and dry them thoroughly.

Strategies aimed at the general population are often less effective among racial/ethnic minority groups and those of low socioeconomic status. Initiatives must address the unique challenges and barriers that certain groups often face when attempting to modify lifestyle behaviors, with culturally appropriate tailoring and equitable support to promote healthy behaviors. Trends in excess body weight among youth are also a significant public health concern; children with obesity are more likely than normal-weight children to become adults with obesity, and their obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. 136 Promoting obesity prevention and positive lifestyle behaviors during youth is more effective, and often more successful, than efforts to change unhealthy patterns of behavior in adult populations. 137 Therefore, creating health-promoting and antiobesogenic environments that make it easier for children to establish positive eating and physical activity behaviors early in life are critical. ## Improving Healthy Eating and Active Living-Related Environments Effective strategies are being tested to address healthy ating and active living by numerous organizations that have e reated c evidence-based recommendations, including the WHO, 138 the National Academy of Medicine, 139 the CDC, the WCRF/AICR, and the American Heart Association. 4 140 A consensus among these recommendations is a call for policy and systems change, the identification of key environments to promote change, and the need for multiple sectors to work collaboratively to reduce barriers to healthy eating and active living, particularly among lower income and racial/ethnic minority and rural communities. Thus, health promotion considerations should be incorporated into urban, rural, and regional planning and development. To reduce health-related inequities among specific population groups, communitybased approaches should be adapted to meet the needs of the target community. 139', 'theco mmuni tygui de.org/topic/ exces sive-alcoh ol-consu mptio n?field\\_recom menda tion\\_tid = All&items\\_per\\_page = 5 - 146.

Although few programs have comprehensive uptake across systems, the Exercise Is Medicine (exerc iseis medic ine.org/) and Park Prescriptions America (parkr xamer ica.org) initiatives provide a prototype of how routine screening of physical activity behaviors and exercise prescriptions may support individual improvements in physical activity behaviors. Incorporation of questions about exercise as a vital sign-asked during routine visits just as blood pressure and weight are measured-has been associated with modest weight loss and lower hemoglobin A1c levels, 146 with growing evidence of these effects. 147 The Walk with a Doc program also promotes community-clinical linkages by encouraging providers to start doctor-led walking groups to promote walking as a health-enhancing behavior among their patients (walkw ithad oc.org). Screening for food insecurity is also an important factor to identify those individuals at risk of dietary patterns inconsistent with cancer prevention. Health care providers can be a valuable referral source to community efforts designed to support food insecure community members, such as food assistance programs, food banks, voucher programs to retail stores and farmers markets, and more. 148 Inclusion of questions related to food choices as a vital sign during routine clinical encounters may also promote healthful eating behaviors. Furthermore, health care insurance communities provide a resource to support new program initiatives with a focus not only on changes in diet and activity behaviors but also on cost incentives and savings that are critical to the sustainability of health promotion programs.

Initiatives in nutrition assistance programs, including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children Program (WIC) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which allow for and provide incentives for healthy food purchases such as vegetables and fruit, have resulted in healthier food purchases and dietary patterns 152 and could result in substantial health benefits. 153 Standards for foods and beverages served in schools and in early childcare and education settings help to ensure youth are exposed to nutrient-dense options and that energy-dense options are limited. 154 And, although research is mixed regarding the results of the overall impact of menu labeling legislation, it is possible that labeling is more effective in specific types of restaurants and that restaurants are reformulating menu items in part because of this legislation. 155 Numerous recommended policy approaches to promote more lifelong physical activity among Americans include a variety of policies designed to impact youth: comprehensive school physical activity programing, including high-quality physical education and daily recess; requirements for physical activity in afterschool and in early childcare programs; and active transport opportunities to school, among others, all have the potential to increase physical activity levels among youth. 152 Funding that continues to expand and support community design that facilitates active transport (eg, complete streets policies), that expands and improves zoning policies that encourage mixed-use development, and that invests in more public transportation options will also be important to facilitate more physically active lifestyles. 111 Finally, it is well established that raising excise taxes on tobacco products leads to higher prices, which, in turn, cause declines in consumption, and recent research suggests that raising excise taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol also can reduce consumption of these products. 156,157 Tax revenues, in turn, can be reallocated back to promote societal well-being. 158', ""Frequently, a plethora of 'fast-food' restaurants and convenience stores also is readily available in these communities. 125,126 Thus residents with limited access to neighborhood supermarkets often purchase foods at local convenience stores, where fewer perishables, such as fresh produce, and more highly processed convenience items are readily available. Even in neighborhoods where supermarkets are readily available, low-income residents may continue to purchase less expensive, energy-dense foods; studies have suggested that foods of lower diet quality make up a greater proportion of the dietary patterns of lower income individuals compared with individuals who have higher incomes. 127-129 The neighborhoods where people live can also affect their alcohol consumption. This is especially true in neighborhoods in which convenience and liquor stores are overconcentrated 128,129 and where alcohol is heavily promoted by commercial interests 130,131 Disparities in the built environment also affect physical activity patterns. Safe and inviting access to parks, playgrounds, schools, sidewalks and trails, bicycle paths, and workout facilities and gyms as well as the availability of public transit all provide additional opportunities for daily physical activity. Sidewalks and bicycle paths within close proximity and connected to residential areas with common or everyday destinations, retail stores, jobs, schools, childcare, and recreation centers also promote more physically active lifestyles 132-134 Yet significantly fewer sports areas, parks, greenways, well-maintained sidewalks, and bike paths are available in areas of poverty compared with more affluent areas. Even when these facilities are available, transportation and financial barriers often provide challenges to use for lower-income populations. Connecting public transportation systems to everyday destinations can promote active travel, 134 and connecting public transportation to jobs may help address, in part, economic disparities and poverty. Efforts to be inclusive of persons with disabilities will also require that built environment and programmatic opportunities to be physically active are both available and accessible to all people regardless of age and abilities. Campaigns and initiatives to promote walking and walkable communities should be inclusive of those who walk and those who rely on assistive equipment or wheelchairs for mobility. 135"", ""121 Therefore, the ability of an individual to avoid many unhealthy lifestyle factors, including those related to food and beverage intake and physical inactivity, is often influenced by factors outside of his or her direct control. The factors contributing to trends in excess body weight specifically are complex and multifaceted, and reversing these trends will require a broad range of innovative, coordinated, and multilevel strategies that engage a variety of stakeholders; involve multiple systems and sectors (food and agriculture, transportation, urban planning, childcare centers, schools, employers, health care, and more); and emphasize policy, system, and environmental changes. 113 Therefore this guideline addresses the importance of public, private, and community organizations working collaboratively at national, state, and local levels to develop, advocate for, and implement policy, system, and environmental changes to reduce obesogenic environments and promote access to affordable, nutritious foods and provide safe, enjoyable, and accessible opportunities for physical activity for all individuals. Although most Americans face obstacles to engaging in health-promoting behaviors, these challenges are often compounded for lower income individuals, racial and ethnic minority groups, persons with disabilities, and those residing in rural communities, who frequently face additional barriers to the adoption of cancer-preventive behaviors. 122 Importantly, these barriers contribute in part to the greater health disparities documented among certain populations. 123 For instance, access to supermarkets has been associated with improved diet quality, increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and a lower prevalence of obesity. 124 Communities with a greater proportion of ethnic minorities and residents with low socioeconomic status are often also identified as low-income and lowaccess areas, characterized by fewer supermarkets with healthy, affordable, high-quality foods. In these areas, residents may not have the economic resources to purchase adequate and nutritious food to feed themselves and their families. Frequently, a plethora of 'fast-food' restaurants and convenience stores also is readily available in these communities.""]",hard,answer,"The environment significantly influences activity levels through various factors. Safe and inviting access to parks, playgrounds, schools, sidewalks, trails, bicycle paths, and workout facilities, as well as the availability of public transit, provides opportunities for daily physical activity. Sidewalks and bicycle paths connected to residential areas with common destinations like retail stores, jobs, schools, and recreation centers promote more physically active lifestyles. However, disparities exist, with fewer sports areas, parks, greenways, well-maintained sidewalks, and bike paths available in low-income areas compared to more affluent ones. Additionally, transportation and financial barriers can hinder the use of these facilities by lower-income populations.

The certificates should be sent only to the state insurance department in the event of a dispute. - · Provide access for producers and insurers to department records to monitor CE credits on file. - · Implement an audit program to observe and evaluate CE providers and instructors. - · Participate in the NAIC Personalized Information Capture System (PICS) to receive alerts or monitor actions against existing licensees. 5 ## Chapter 15 ## Reporting of Actions and Compensation Disclosure ## Reporting of Actions Section 17 of the Producer Licensing Model Act (#218) requires a producer to report, to all states in which the producer is licensed, any administrative action taken against the producer in another jurisdiction or by another governmental agency in this state within 30 days of the final disposition of the matter. Producers are also required to report any criminal prosecution of the producer taken in any jurisdiction within 30 days of the initial pretrial hearing date. The challenge for producers is that it can be difficult to ensure that all relevant states received the report. The National Insurance Producer Registry (NIPR) has created an electronic solution, called Reporting of Actions (ROA), to facilitate the distribution of one report to multiple states. States should encourage the use of this electronic process to save time and create an electronic record of timely submission. State licensing directors should have a method to receive these reports and refer them for investigation. The director should consider giving staff limited authority to review and clear reports that include violations such as traffic citations or certain misdemeanors. ## Recommended Best Practices for State Insurance Regulators - · Use the Attachment Warehouse/ROA system to receive electronic notifications to alert a state when an individual or business entity producer has added information into the Attachment Warehouse since their initial entry regarding administrative, criminal or civil actions. ## Compensation Disclosure', ""- · Resident vs. Nonresident If the application is for a resident producer license, it is incumbent upon the resident state to scrutinize all 'yes' answers on the application and to request and obtain documentation and a detailed explanation for all criminal charges. Nonresident applicants' criminal histories should also be documented and explained with consideration given the fact that the resident state has already issued a license to the applicant. - · Severity and Nature of the Offense Felony convictions should always be considered in determining whether to issue a license to an individual and may require the applicant to apply for a 1033 consent waiver prior to application (see the section on 1033 consent waivers). A criminal conviction is only relevant to the licensing decision if the crime is related to the qualifications, functions or duties of an insurance producer. Examples include theft; burglary; robbery; dishonesty; fraud; breach of trust or breach of fiduciary duties; any conviction arising out of acts performed in the business of insurance; or any actions not consistent with public health, safety and welfare. Special scrutiny should be given to financial and violent crimes. - · Frequency of Offenses While a producer's past criminal history is a red flag and may be a predictor of future behavior, the frequency of offenses should be considered, with more weight given to a pattern of illegal behavior than to a one-time minor indiscretion. - · Date of the Offense The application form requires the applicant to disclose all criminal charges, except minor traffic offenses. A reviewer should consider when the offenses occurred and the age of the applicant at the time of the offense. - · Completion of Terms of Sentencing Applicants should provide evidence that they have completed all the terms of their sentences, including paying restitution or completing any probationary periods or community service. - · Evidence of Rehabilitation The applicant should be required to provide evidence of rehabilitation. Completion of the terms of sentencing alone does not demonstrate rehabilitation. A state may request a statement from the applicant's probation officer or other appropriate official. ## Statutory Obligations and Discretion"", ""When a producer's license has been suspended for a period of time that extends beyond the producer's license expiration date, reinstatement is not an option. The producer must request reissuance of a license and should not be allowed to merely apply for a new license by passing an examination and submitting a new application. The producer's request for reinstatement or reissuance must include sufficient information to allow the insurance department to determine whether the basis of the revocation, suspension or forfeiture of the applicant's license no longer exists and whether it will be in the public interest to grant the request for a new or reinstated license. The burden of proof to establish such facts is on the producer. In most states, the producer will have a right to an administrative hearing if the reinstatement request is denied. Some states allow a license to be voluntarily forfeited in lieu of compliance with an order of the insurance commissioner. In this scenario, a request for voluntary forfeiture of a license should be made in writing to the insurance commissioner. The written consent of the insurance commissioner is usually required. Forfeiture of a license is effective upon submission of the request, unless a contested case proceeding is pending at the time the request is submitted. If a contested case proceeding is pending at the time of the request, the forfeiture becomes effective when and upon such conditions as required by order of the insurance commissioner. A forfeiture made during the pendency of a contested case proceeding is usually considered a disciplinary action subject to reporting to the Regulatory Information Retrieval System (RIRS). ## Collaboration and Referrals Among State Insurance Regulators There are several NAIC tools to facilitate communication about enforcement actions among state insurance regulators. The NAIC's Market Actions (D) Working Group identifies and reviews insurance companies that are exhibiting or may exhibit characteristics indicating a current or potential market regulatory issue that may affect multiple jurisdictions. The Working Group determines if regulatory action should be taken and supports collaborative actions in addressing problems identified."", ""Model #218 contains two key sections that clarify when a license is not required. When considering whether to require a license, the states should carefully review Section 4 and Section 13 of Model #218. Section 4 of Model #218 contains a specific list of exceptions from the licensing requirement. The states should take special note of Section 4(B)(6), which provides an exception for producers placing commercial insurance for a multistate risk with an incidental exposure in several states. As the section provides, in this situation a license is only required in the state where the insured maintains its principal place of business and the contract of insurance insures risks located in that state. The following is a summary of types of persons and entities that are exempted from licensing: - 1. An officer, director or employee of an insurer or insurance producer, provided that the officer, director or employee does not receive any commission on policies written or sold to insure risks residing, located or to be performed in the state. - 2. A person who secures and furnishes information for, or enrolls individuals in, group life insurance, group property/casualty (P/C) insurance, group annuities, or group or blanket accident and health insurance. - 3. An employer or association; its officers, directors and employees; or the trustees of an employee trust plan. - 4. Employees of insurers or organizations employed by insurers who are engaging in the inspection, rating or classification of risks. - 5. A person whose activities in a state are limited to advertising without the intent to solicit insurance in that state. - 6. A person who is not a resident of a state who sells, solicits or negotiates a contract of insurance for commercial P/C risks to an insured with risks located in more than one state insured under that contract. - 7. A salaried, full-time employee who counsels or advises the employer relative to the insurance interests of the employer. ## Recommended Best Practice for State Insurance Regulators - · For uniformity purposes, states that still use a 'transaction-based licensure' approach should eliminate that standard and change to the Model #218 standard. ## Chapter 6 ## Prelicensing Education"", ""- · Defines the terms 'home state,' 'limited lines insurance,''sell,''solicit,' 'negotiate,' and other pertinent terms. ## Section 3: License Required ## Section 4: Exceptions to Licensing - · Lists the persons and entities that do not need licenses, even though they participate in the insurance industry. ## Section 5: Application for Examination - · Requires that producers must pass an examination in the LOAs for which applications are made. - · Allows the use of outside testing services to administer examinations. ## Section 6: Application for License - · Sets forth the qualifications for licensure as an individual or business entity. - · Provides that limited line credit insurers must provide instruction to individuals who will sell credit insurance. ## Section 7: License - · Sets forth the six major LOAs, the limited line of credit insurance, and any other line of insurance permitted under state laws or regulations. - · Provides guidelines for license continuation and reinstatement. - · Provides for hardship exemptions for failure to comply with renewal procedures. - · Lists the information the license should contain. - · Requires licensees to notify the insurance commissioner of a legal change of name or address within 30 days of the change. ## Section 8: Nonresident Licensing - · Requires states to grant nonresident licenses to persons from reciprocal states for all LOAs held, including limited lines and surplus lines insurance, if those persons are currently licensed and in good standing in their home states. - · Requires a nonresident licensee who moves from one state to another to file a change of address and certification from the new resident state within 30 days with no fee or application. ## Section 9: Exemption from Examination - · Exempts licensed individuals who change their home state from prelicensing and examination. - · Requires a licensed nonresident who becomes a resident to register in the new home state within 90 days of establishing legal residence, unless 'the commissioner determines otherwise by regulation.' ## Section 10: Assumed Names - · Requires a producer to notify the insurance commissioner prior to using an assumed name.""]",medium,answer,"According to the provided context, a reviewer should assess an applicant's single minor offense differently from multiple offenses.

These healthy dietary pattern scores have also been associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer 22,64 and total cancer incidence 65,66 in meta-analyses of observational studies. Two randomized clinical trials found lower overall cancer or breast cancer 8 risk among those randomized to follow the Mediterranean diet. Thus, these studies provide consistent and compelling evidence that healthy dietary patterns are associated with a decreased risk of cancer, all-cause mortality, and other chronic disease endpoints. These healthy dietary patterns are associated not only with improved health but also with a lower environmental impact, such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions and energy, land, and water use compared with the average US diet. 67 Environmentally sustainable diets emphasize fruits and vegetables, whole grains, plant-sourced protein foods, unsaturated plant oils, and more limited (optional) quantities of animal-based protein foods, dairy products, and sugar. 68 Attention to complex issues of food production practices and distribution will be needed to identify approaches to further reduce the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of dietary sources. Regardless, achieving recommended dietary patterns, such as those recommended herein, may lead to improved food security and environmental sustainability for future generations. Healthy dietary patterns may reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases through multiple mechanisms. For example, plant-based diets are associated with lower levels of inflammation, improved insulin response, and less oxidative DNA damage. 69 Plant-based diets are also associated with higher concentrations of beneficial gut bacteria compared with mostly animal-based diets high in saturated fat and sugar. 70,71 Additional research on the relationship of dietary factors with these metabolic and microbial biomarkers and with health outcomes will continue to help in elucidating the role that diet plays in carcinogenesis. ## Vegetables and fruit', 'The glycemic load gives a truer picture of how blood glucose is elevated in relation to the intake of a specific food item. Much research has been conducted examining the potential impact of the glycemic load of a diet on cancer risk. 170 Most recent comprehensive reports indicate that eating a dietary pattern high in glycemic load is associated with a higher risk of endometrial cancer. More research is needed to determine the impact on additional cancer sites. ## Inflammation and Anti-Inflammatory Strategies Do anti-inflammatory diets reduce cancer risk? Inflammation has long been recognized as a physiological response to tissue injury, and its relationship to microbial infection was recognized hundreds of years ago. However, the role of inflammation in carcinogenesis was recognized more recently, and the relationships of diet, inflammation, and risk of cancer (as well as cardiovascular disease and overall mortality) are still an evolving area of research. A combination of laboratory experimentation and epidemiological research has identified certain foods and their chemical components that promote systemic inflammation as well as chronic inflammation of certain tissues. 171,172 This information is the basis of anti-inflammatory dietary patterns, which share some characteristics with the recommendations in this guideline, such as high intake of vegetables and fruit and low intake of red and processed meat. ## Irradiated Foods ## Why are foods irradiated, and can these foods increase cancer risk? Food irradiation (the application of ionizing radiation to food) is a technology that improves the safety and extends the shelf life of foods by reducing or eliminating microorganisms and insects. Similar to pasteurizing milk and canning fruits and vegetables, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer. Irradiation does not make foods radioactive; compromise nutritional quality; or noticeably change the taste, texture, or appearance of food. In fact, changes made by irradiation are so minimal that it is not easy to tell if a food has been irradiated.', ""## Dietary patterns as a modern and more appropriate focus Because of accumulating evidence on healthy dietary patterns in relation to chronic disease risk reduction, an emphasis on dietary patterns is now highlighted in the 2015 to 2020 US DGA. 56 This is particularly relevant because, although the associations of individual nutrients and foods with cancer may be small, additive and interactive effects could be important. Several comprehensive 4 reviews support recommendations to follow healthy dietary patterns. The 2015 Dietary Guidelines Scientific Report concluded that there is moderate evidence that dietary patterns rich in plant foods and lower in animal products and refined carbohydrates are associated with a lower risk of postmenopausal breast cancer, and plant-based patterns low in red and processed meat and added sugars are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer. In addition, 7 the WCRF/AICR concluded that a Mediterranean diet is 'convincingly' associated with a lower risk of weight gain, overweight, or obesity, whereas a 'Western'-type dietary pattern is 'probably' associated with an increased risk of these outcomes. The Diet Patterns Methods Project, 4 57 a multicenter study of dietary patterns and cause-specific mortality, reported an 8% to 17% lower risk of cancer mortality among women and a 17% to 24% lower risk among men whose diets were most (vs least) concordant with 4 healthy dietary pattern scores. The dietary patterns examined included the Mediterranean Diet, 58,59 the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, 60,61 the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Healthy Eating Index, 62 and the Harvard Alternate Healthy Eating Index. 63 Although these and other healthful dietary patterns have unique features, they share a foundation of mostly plant foods (including nonstarchy vegetables, whole fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds) and healthy protein sources (higher in legumes and/or fish and/or poultry, and lower in processed meats and red meat), and include unsaturated fats (eg, monosaturated and/or polyunsaturated fat); these""]",hard,answer,"The main sources of evidence about diet and cancer prevention include: @@ -394,9 +394,9 @@ These measures are implemented to enhance navigation safety, protect the marine 1647,Identify the populations that require different efforts and resources to improve their health.,"['135 In general, fewer opportunities exist for engaging in health-promoting dietary and physical activity patterns among marginalized populations (e.g., people living in poverty, people of color, LGBTQ, people who have a disability or who live in a rural community, and others who have historically been excluded), thus further increasing health inequities. Strategies aimed at the general population are often less effective among racial/ethnic minority groups and those of low socioeconomic status. Initiatives must address the unique challenges and barriers that certain groups often face when attempting to modify lifestyle behaviors, with culturally appropriate tailoring and equitable support to promote healthy behaviors. Trends in excess body weight among youth are also a significant public health concern; children with obesity are more likely than normal-weight children to become adults with obesity, and their obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. 136 Promoting obesity prevention and positive lifestyle behaviors during youth is more effective, and often more successful, than efforts to change unhealthy patterns of behavior in adult populations. 137 Therefore, creating health-promoting and antiobesogenic environments that make it easier for children to establish positive eating and physical activity behaviors early in life are critical. ## Improving Healthy Eating and Active Living-Related Environments Effective strategies are being tested to address healthy ating and active living by numerous organizations that have e reated c evidence-based recommendations, including the WHO, 138 the National Academy of Medicine, 139 the CDC, the WCRF/AICR, and the American Heart Association. 4 140 A consensus among these recommendations is a call for policy and systems change, the identification of key environments to promote change, and the need for multiple sectors to work collaboratively to reduce barriers to healthy eating and active living, particularly among lower income and racial/ethnic minority and rural communities. Thus, health promotion considerations should be incorporated into urban, rural, and regional planning and development. To reduce health-related inequities among specific population groups, communitybased approaches should be adapted to meet the needs of the target community. 139', '158 Ensuring that all individuals have access to affordable, healthy food choices and opportunities for safe physical activity will require multiple strategies and bold action, ranging from the implementation of community, worksite, school, childcare, and other health promotion programs to policies that affect community planning, architecture, transportation, school-based physical education, food advertising and marketing, and food services. Special attention must also be paid to recognizing that individuals and populations with the greatest needs, the least resources, and/or those facing increased and unique burdens and challenges require different, not equal, effort and resources to improve their health. Policies, programs, and services should be explicit about prioritizing these populations to achieve health equity. Public, private, and community organizations at local, state, and national levels should consider the implementation and testing of new policies and the reallocation or expansion of resources to weight management, greater physical activity, and healthful diet choices (including avoidance of alcohol) that will improve health. Health care professionals; school, business, faith group, and other community leaders; and elected officials and policy makers are in unique and critical positions to provide leadership and advocate for purposeful changes in public policy and in community environments that are necessary to help all individuals maintain a healthy body weight and remain physically active throughout life, and to engage community members in the design, implementation, and evaluation of these strategies within the aforementioned sectors. 111 ## Common Questions and Answers This section is intended to assist clinicians, public health professionals, and policymakers in addressing questions that commonly arise within the general public. ## Acrylamide ## What is acrylamide, and is it associated with an increased risk of cancer? Acrylamide is a chemical used in industrial processing and is also found in food and tobacco smoke. Acrylamide in food is formed as a by-product of the Maillard reaction, in which the amino acid asparagine reacts with certain sugars when heated to high temperatures. The major sources of acrylamide in our diets are French fries and potato chips; crackers, bread, and cookies; breakfast cereals; canned black olives; prune juice; and coffee.']",medium,answer,"The populations that require different efforts and resources to improve their health include marginalized groups such as people living in poverty, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, people with disabilities, those living in rural communities, and others who have historically been excluded.

Brucellosis in cattle is an example. This zoonotic disease was eradicated in Sweden in the 1950s based on the robust diagnostics available at that time (Cerenius 2010). This was made possible because communal grazing and mixing of herds were limited, engagement in farmers' organizations was strong, and the veterinary authority and service interacted closely with the farmers. These institutional factors made compliance with external biosecurity measures effective. The opposite conditions still apply in many countries where brucellosis is an issue (Plumb et al. 2013). In such cases, where animal productivity is generally low and where the disease is endemic and symptoms vague, farmers may be reluctant to invest in control measures such as vaccination. A lack of compensation for culled animals further increases resistance to control measures. The development and strengthening of institutions, both state and non-state, in such areas are vital to improving control of livestock diseases. Stronger groups of livestock keepers make it easier for government organizations and veterinary services to interact with larger numbers of local people, learn about their opinions and needs, and provide them with the information and services they require. It also makes compliance with disease-control measures more possible (FAO, 2020). ## Monitoring and surveillance Advances in technology are making it possible to detect and respond to livestock diseases more quickly. Improved testing and control have made it possible to eradicate diseases such as bovine brucellosis and porcine pseudorabies in the United States (USDA 2019a, 2019b). For some diseases it is now possible to perform a rapid diagnosis on the farm itself. To be practicable, such tests must be cheap and quick. Currently, some 'pen-side' tests and several basic laboratory tests are in common use in HICs."", '## Use One Health to control zoonotic and food-borne diseases Zoonotic and food-borne diseases are best tackled using a One Health approach. Resources should be allocated where they most reduce the risk of zoonotic and foodborne diseases. Interventions must be based on knowledge of the socio-economic situations of farmers, food business operators and consumers. A combination of crosscompliance and soft law approaches may work best. Improving animal husbandry and welfare is important for reducing the risks of zoonotic and food-borne diseases. Data on the occurrence of food-borne diseases and the disease burden in the human population are crucial to assess the costs and benefits of diseasecontrol measures in the livestock production and processing systems. Postharvest interventions are also required to reduce the risk of the pathogens surviving, multiplying and contaminating food. In HICs, efficient control and monitoring of targeted diseases are needed by well-functioning regulatory bodies using command-and-control, crosscompliance and market approaches. In low-income countries, such approaches are less likely to be useful; there, soft laws in the form of recommendations and guidance will probably be more effective. ## Reduce use of antimicrobials Not all governments have the capacity to impose command-and-control measures to restrict antimicrobial use, and overly harsh regulations could jeopardize the profitability and livelihoods of livestock producers. It also risks pushing antimicrobial use into a poorly regulated black market dominated by sub-standard products that are administered inappropriately. The cross-compliance approach also requires the capacity to enforce regulations, and the market approach relies on consumers demanding food produced without excessive use of antimicrobials. Such approaches will probably work only in HICs. Soft law - guidelines and persuasion - along with education and information, also has a place in HICs, but may be the only realistic option in LMICs. ## Promote animal welfare']",hard,answer,"Command-and-control measures to restrict antimicrobial use might be ineffective in low-income countries due to several reasons.

See, 15 U.S.C. §2064(b) and 16 CFR part 1115. If a firm elects to conduct an investigation in order to evaluate the existence of reportable information, the 24-hour period begins when the firm has information which reasonably supports the conclusion that its consumer product: - · fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule or voluntary consumer product safety standard upon which the Commission has relied under section 9; - · fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban under the CPSA, or any other Act enforced by the Commission; - · contains a defect which could create a substantial risk of injury to the public; or, - · creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. Thus, a firm could report to the Commission before the conclusion of a reasonably expeditious investigation and evaluation if the reportable information becomes known during the course of the investigation. In lieu of the investigation, the firm may report the information immediately. 13 ## REPORTING PROCEDURES The Commission considers a firm to have knowledge of product safety information when such information is received by an employee or official of the firm who may reasonably be expected to be capable of appreciating the significance of that information. Under ordinary circumstances, five days is the maximum reasonable time for that information to reach the chief executive officer or other official assigned responsibility for complying with the reporting requirements. Weekends and holidays are not counted in that timetable. 16 C.F.R. §§ 1115.11(a) and 1115.14(b). The Commission will evaluate whether and when a firm should have reported. This evaluation will be based, in part, on what a reasonable person, acting under the circumstances, knows about the hazard posed by the product. Thus, a firm shall be deemed to know what it would have known if it had exercised due care in ascertaining the accuracy of complaints or other representations. 16 C.F.R. § 1115.11(b). ## PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO REPORT', ""Section 15(b) of the CPSA defines responsibilities of manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products. Each is required to notify the Commission immediately if it obtains information that reasonably supports the conclusion that a product: - 1. fails to comply with a consumer product safety rule or a voluntary consumer product safety standard upon which the Commission has relied under section 9 of the CPSA; - 2. fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban under the CPSA or any other statute enforced by the Commission; - 3. contains a defect which could create a substantial product hazard described in section 15(a)(2) of the CPSA; or - 4. creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. The Commission's interpretative regulation (16 C.F.R. part 1115) explains the firm's obligations and those of the Commission.

Although the CPSC relies on sources other than firm reports to identify substantial product hazards, reporting by companies under the reporting provisions is invaluable because firms often learn of product safety problems long before the Commission. For this reason, any firm involved in the manufacture, importation, distribution, or sale of consumer products should develop a system of reviewing and maintaining consumer complaints, inquiries, product liability suits, and comments on the products they handle. If a firm reports to the Commission under section 15 of the CPSA, it does not necessarily mean that a substantial product hazard exists. Section 15 requires firms to report whenever a product: (1) fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule or with a voluntary consumer product safety standard upon which the Commission has relied under section 9; (2) fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban under the CPSA or any other Act enforced by the Commission; (3) contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard; or (4) creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. Thus, a product need not actually create a substantial product hazard to trigger the reporting requirement. ## WHEN TO REPORT UNDER SECTION 15 OF THE CPSA It is the Commission's view that a firm should take the all-important first step of notifying the Commission when the information available to the firm reasonably indicates that a report is required. It is in the firm's best interest to assign the responsibility of reporting to someone in executive authority. A firm should report immediately (within 24 hours) after a firm has obtained information which reasonably supports the conclusion that its consumer product: - · fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule or voluntary consumer product safety standard upon which the Commission has relied under section 9; - · fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban under the CPSA, or any other Act enforced by the Commission; - · contains a defect which could create a substantial risk of injury to the public; or, - · creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death."", ""§ 1015.18(c), the following information must be included with the request for exemption: - 2. state whether the information claimed to be confidential has ever been released in any manner to a person who was not an employee or in a confidential relationship with the firm; - 1. identify specifically the exact portion(s) of the document claimed to be confidential; - 3. state whether the information so specified is known commonly within the industry or is readily ascertainable by outside persons with a minimum of time and effort; - confidentiality on behalf of the person or organization concerned. - 4. state how release of the information so specified would be likely to cause substantial harm to the firm's competitive position; and 5. state whether the submitter is authorized to make claims of If the Commission determines that information marked as confidential may be disclosed because it is not confidential, the Commission must provide written notice that it intends to disclose this information, 15 U.S.C. § 2055(a)(5).
