PRODUCT NEWS
Now available by e-mail—
Insights: The Corporate and Securities Law Advisor newsletter
Internet subscribers to this outstanding monthly newsletter can now enjoy the added benefit of e-mail delivery. The latest newsletter will be sent as a PDF file attachment as soon as it is available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork.
To start e-mail service immediately, contact your Account Representative to provide your e-mail address.
Investment Lawyer: Covering Legal and Regulatory Issues of Asset Management
The archive of this monthly newsletter—part of the CCH Investment Management Integrated Library—now includes issues dating back to 2000.
Availability of newsletter pdfs on the CCH Internet Research NetWork
Because newsletters can be made available more quickly in electronic format than in print, you may occasionally not see a Printable Version of This Issue link for the most recent issue. However, this is temporary as the pdf of the print version will always be posted online as soon as it is available.
NASD Manual now updated on a monthly basis
With the Exchange implementing rule changes at an accelerated pace, we wanted to keep our loose-leaf subscribers up to date, so the NASD has agreed to a monthly update schedule. Subscribers will now receive updates every month instead of every quarter.
FERC and GPO discontinue printing of FERC documents;
CCH’s printing of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Reports continues
Effective May 1, 2007, FERC and the GPO have ended their agreement with CCH to serve as the print publisher of FERC’s official publications: FERC Statutes and Regulations and FERC Reports, also known as the Federal Energy Guidelines program.
CCH will continue to provide these printed materials as it has for the past 25 years. Subscribers will see no change in content or update frequency. In case you are not aware, these materials are also available on the CCH Internet Research NetWork; please contact your rep to convert to online service.
If you have any questions, contact CCH Customer Service at 800-344-3734.
Enhancements to Topic Navigator research tool
Topic Navigator, the new research tool for use with the CCH Federal Securities Law Reporter and Securities Regulation by Loss, Seligman and Parese, now offers these new features:
Selection check boxes. These boxes now appear next to topics in the left browsing pane. This allows the user to narrow the scope of keyword searches. There is also a “Select All Topics” checkbox which allows selecting/deselecting all topics with one click.
Search preferences. These preferences for “all terms,” “any term,” “phrase,” and “thesaurus” are now available on the main page.
Expand/collapse symbols [+]/[-]. These symbols allow the user to easily expand or collapse topics in the left browsing pane. They replace the “book” and “page” icons.
Document pane results. Enhancements to the display of the right document results pane include:
Publication titles shown in bold
Document groups collapsed by publication, with the number of documents displayed in brackets
Click “Expand All/Collapse All” buttons to change the setting for all document results during the research session
Extra white space and italics eliminated in the document list for improved display
Blue arrows added to denote each document more clearly
Internet Explorer 6.0 users will see improved response times and smoother functionality.

NEW PRODUCTS
Environmental Compliance Portfolio
This new portfolio is ideal for corporate counsel responsible for complying with environmental laws and regulations. It covers three core areas: Air Quality Compliance, Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Substances, Wastewater and Water Quality Compliance. Users may subscribe to any or all three areas.
The Environmental Compliance Portfolio gathers information from multiple sources. Regulatory analysis articles are issued as EPA regulatory actions appear in the Federal Register, and are linked to full text of Federal Register actions. Court case descriptions are also linked to the full text of the cases and regulations. And the thousands of U.S. EPA guidance documents are linked to the full text of regulations.
In the coming weeks, coverage will include state-specific analysis, statutes, regulations and guidance documents for states with the largest number of industrial facilities, as identified by the EPA.
For more information about the new Environmental Compliance Portfolio, contact your Account Representative or go to: http://hr.cch.com/environmental
