Newport Rhode Island Lodging

The NPS Associate Director for Park Planning, Facilities and Lands wrote, “We have reviewed the subject draft statement and find it to be an excellent analysis and presentation regarding the level of significance of the route followed by the allied American-French armies in their movement from Newport, Rhode Island to Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. The surrender of the British forces at Yorktown has always been recognized as the culminating event of the American Revolutionary War, and this report makes a compelling case that the movement of the allied army over this vast distance was no mean accomplishment. It was, of course, integral to the successful siege at Yorktown and the forced surrender of Lord Cornwallis. Consequently, we agree with the conclusion of the report that the route meets the test of national significance as defined in Criterion 2 of the National Trails System Act.” ... [Read More]

26 FLRA No. 35 FEDERAL UNION OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES Union and DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, NAVAL UNDERWATER SYSTEMS CENTER NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND Agency Case No. 0-NG-1036 DECISION AND ORDER ON NEGOTIABILITY ISSUE I. Statement of the Case This case is before the Authority because of a negotiability appeal filed by the Union under section 7105(a)(2)(D) and (E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and presents issues concerning the negotiability of the following proposal. We find that the proposal is nonnegotiable. II. The Proposal The Union proposed that, effective immediately, the Agency use the "Runzheimer Meal-Lodging Cost Index," rather than the Agency's Joint Travel Regulations (JTRs), to determine the reasonableness of claims for meal expenditures by unit employees. The record shows that the Runzheimer Index is an index, published quarterly by an independent resource service, that reflects the meal cos ... [Read More]

NOAA Corps Recruiting
The class will travel as a group to the Newport Naval Station, in Newport, Rhode Island, to purchase uniforms at their Naval Exchange Facility. NOAA Corps staff will be present to help you through this process. ...

The day trip to Newport will be the only scheduled opportunity for purchasing uniforms during BOTC. If you choose to delay the purchase of some articles, you will be required to make future purchases on your own time. There is a small uniform shop on campus, though selections are often limited and prices are somewhat higher. The Navy Exchange does offer phone orders and internet shopping if you are confident in what sizes to buy. ... [Read More]
