Two fed. agencies -- the Dept. of Health & Human Services (HHS) & the Social Security Admin. (SSA) -- play a role in resolving Medicare appeals, but neither agency manages the entire process. In Dec. 2000, an Act mandated appeals reform, including stricter time frames for processing Medicare appeals. Another Act in 2003 mandated that SSA transfer its Medicare appeals workload to HHS in 2005 to consolidate Medicare appeals within a single federal agency. This report: (1) assesses the agencies' progress in preparing to implement the transfer; & (2) determines how HHS spent funds appropriated for transferring the appeals workload from SSA to HHS & related activities in FY 2004 & the first half of FY 2005.

This report presents a cost analysis of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from acetone, ammonia and natural gas. The process examined is similar to Evonik Aveneer process. In this process, hydrogen cyanide, acetone and methanol are used as raw materials for the production of MMA. Different from the conventional acetone cyanohydrin (ACH) process, this process does not use sulfuric acid. The hydrogen cyanide used is generated from ammonia and natural gas in an on-site unit. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 8569539, issued to Evonik in 2013 (2) US Patent 20120232305, issued to Evonik in 2012 (3) US Patent 20080194875, issued to Evonik in 2008 Keywords: Propanone, Hydrolysis, Transesterification, Dehydration, Prussic Acid
