BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention pertains to the field of onsite repair. More particularly, this invention relates to predicting parts for onsite repair. [0003] 2. Art Background [0004] It is common in a wide variety of business arrangements to provide onsite product repair. For example, it is common to provide onsite repair of computer systems, instruments, and appliances to name just a few examples. [0005] An onsite repair of a product usually includes the replacement of one or more parts of the product. A service technician usually travels to the repair site and takes along one or more replacement parts for possible use in the repair. [0006] Typically, the cost of performing an onsite repair is increased if a poorly chosen set of replacement parts is sent to the repair site with a service technician. For example, if parts essential to a repair are not available to a service technician at the site then the service technician usually makes a return trip to the repair site, thereby increasing the cost of the onsite repair. In addition, if a service technician takes an unneeded part to a repair site then the unneeded part is usually returned to an inventory facility and re-stocked which also increases the cost of the onsite repair as well as inventory costs. [0007] In prior methods, repair parts are usually chosen based on the judgment of personnel such as call qualifiers or service technicians. Unfortunately, such methods typically do not provide a systematic solution that takes into account the costs associated with choosing the wrong replacement parts. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] A method is disclosed for predicting parts for onsite repair which takes into account a repair history and the costs associated with mis-predictions. Parts for onsite repair of a product are predicted by determining an expected waste for one or more parts of the product. The parts having a lowest expected waste are selected and sent to the onsite repair. The expected waste indicates parts that are responsible for high support costs and highlights the mistakes being made and scores the mistakes by actual cost. [0009] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the detailed description that follows. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] The present invention is described with respect to particular exemplary embodiments thereof and reference is accordingly made to the drawings in which: [0011]FIG. 1 shows a method for predicting parts for onsite repair according to the present teachings; [0012]FIG. 2 shows steps in one embodiment for determining expected waste by analyzing a repair history for a product; [0013]FIG. 3 shows a system for determining expected waste according to the present techniques. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0014]FIG. 1 shows a method for predicting parts for onsite repair according to the present teachings. At step 102, an expected waste is determined for each part of a product that may be replaced during the repair of the product. Step 102 may also include determining an expected waste for sets of parts. [0015] An expected waste for a part or set of parts includes waste which is caused by unnecessarily sending a part or set of parts to a repair site and waste which is caused by not sending a needed part or set of parts to the repair site. The expected wastes may be based on symptoms. [0016] At step 104, the parts having the lowest expected waste are selected to be sent to the repair site with a service technician. [0017]FIG. 2 shows steps in one embodiment for determining expected waste by analyzing a repair history for a product. At step 110, the repair history is examined to determine a number of times that each part of the product was under-predicted. At step 112, the repair history is examined to determine a number of times that each part was over-predicted. Then at step 114, the repair history is examined to determine a number of times that each part was correctly predicted. At step 116, the numbers determined at steps 110-114 are combined with a cost associated with under-predicting the parts and a cost associated with over-predicting the parts. [0018]FIG. 3 illustrates a system for determining the expected waste at step 102 according to the present techniques. The expected waste for individual parts or sets of parts is included in a set of waste metrics 16 which are generated by a metric calculator 14 in response to a repair history 10 and a set of cost data 12. [0019] The repair history 10 includes an identification of parts that were sent to repair sites in prior onsite repairs and a list of the actual parts that were needed in the prior onsite repairs. Each part may be identified with a corresponding part number (P). [0020] The repair history 10 may be derived from data that is routinely collected. For example, repair technicians may routinely record when parts are sent on a repair trip but not used and when parts are needed on site but were not in the set of parts that was sent to the site. In addition, records of additional repair trips for the same onsite repair case may be used to determine which parts were actually needed. Also, replaced parts may be sent to a repair center and data may be recorded on the actual part defects. [0021] The metric calculator 14 uses the repair history 10 to tally up separately for each part P the number of times that part P was under-predicted (XP), the number of times that part P was over-predicted (YP), and the number of times that part P was correctly predicted (ZP). [0022] A part was under-predicted if it was needed for a repair but was not sent on the initial trip to the repair site. A part was over-predicted if it was not needed for a repair but was sent to the repair site. A part was correctly predicted if it was needed for a repair and was sent on the initial trip to the repair site. [0023] The cost data 12 includes the cost associated with over-predicting a part (CO,P)and the cost associated with under-predicting a part (CU,P). [0024] The costs in the cost data 12 may be average cost figures. For example, the cost associated with under-predicting a part may be an average cost of an extra trip to a repair site to transport the needed part. The cost associated with over-predicting a part may be an average cost of restocking an unneeded part after being returned from the repair site. [0025] Alternatively, the cost of over-predicting a part may include the cost of the part, the cost of storing the part in inventory, the cost of transporting the part, etc. For example, the cost of unnecessarily transporting larger and/or heavier parts may be greater than the cost of unnecessarily transporting smaller and/or lighter parts to a repair site. [0026] Similarly, the cost of under-predicting a part may be adapted in response to a variety of factors. For example, the cost of under-predicting a part may be adjusted for the distance between a repair site and a repair center, i.e. the greater the distance the greater the cost of transporting the needed part to the repair site in a subsequent trip to the repair site. The cost of under-predicting a part may be adjusted for the nature of the support contracts involved. For example, the cost of under-predicting a part for a customer with a 24 hour guarantee support contract may be higher than the cost of under-predicting for a 30 day guarantee contract. The cost of under-predicting may be adjusted on the basis of part type—for example a part used in a high-end system in air-traffic control versus a part used in a home printer, etc. [0027] All of these costs may also be customized based on additional information about a case such as a problem description. [0028] The waste metrics 16 include the total waste for each part P (TWP) which is given by the following.
[0040] where XP,S is the number of trips where symptoms s were reported, parts p were sent, and at least one part not in p was needed to complete the repair, Yp,s is the number of trips where symptoms s were reported, parts p were sent, and p included at least one part that was unnecessary in the repair, and Zp,s is the number of trips in which symptoms s were reported, parts p were sent, and all parts in p and no other parts were needed to complete the repair. [0041] Another use for the waste metrics 16 is to decide for which parts the training of call qualifiers should be upgraded. For example, call qualifiers may undergo retraining for parts which have a relatively high rate of mis-prediction. [0042] Another use for the waste metrics 16 is to decide which parts to have a computer flag to the call qualifiers. Such flagged parts may have, for example, the most over-predicted waste cost. [0043] Yet another use for the waste metrics 16 is to decide which parts are the best to stock in a repair vehicle using the most under-predicted waste cost. This may also help, for example, in the development of standard part kits. [0044] Another use for the waste metrics 16 is to decide which products are least desirable to support, i.e. product models with greatest waste. [0045] Another use for the waste metrics 16 is to decide which call qualifiers and/or repair technician to target for additional training. For example, persons with greatest total waste may be targeted for retraining. [0046] In some embodiments, computational time may be reduced by not applying the above analysis to all possible sets of parts p. Instead, a reasonable level of confidence in the quality of a solution may be found by using heuristics. For example, starting with an empty set, the expected waste of not sending any parts given these symptoms is computed. Thereafter, the expected waste of sending one single part for each individual part given the symptoms is computed. This is computed for all individual parts. All possible combinations of two parts may be considered starting with the combinations of the parts with the lowest individual expected waste given the symptoms. Combinations of three parts, etc., are then considered until computational time is exhausted or until a point is reached where adding parts only increases expected waste or until all possible sets of parts are considered. [0047] The present techniques for identifying costly repair parts and for determining parts to send to a repair site may be performed by automated means such as a computer system. [0048] The cost information generated may be used to improve and/or focus the training of call qualifiers or focus the attention of management as well as in the design of future products. For example, these methods may be used to identify parts that are difficult to predict, parts that call qualifiers normally do not think of, etc. [0049] The techniques disclosed herein may be performed by a human being or an automated system such as a computer or a combination thereof. For example, the functions of the metric calculator 14 may be implemented in software for a computer system and the repair history 10 and/or cost data 12 may be obtained from computer system files including data bases. [0050] The foregoing detailed description of the present invention is provided for the purposes of illustration and is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiment disclosed. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

On the basis of molecular analysis of a series of patients with hemizygous deletions of the long arm of chromosome 13, we have defined a discrete region in band 13q32 where deletion leads to major developmental anomalies (the 13q32 deletion syndrome). This approximately 1-Mb region lies between markers D135136 and D13S147. Patients in which this region is deleted usually have major congenital malformations, including brain anomalies such as HPE or exencephaly, and digital anomalies such as absent thumbs. We now report that human ZIC2 maps to this critical deletion region and that heterozygous mutations in ZIC2 are associated with HPE. Haploinsufficiency for ZIC2 is likely to cause the brain malformations seen in 13q deletion patients.PMID: 9771712 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] SharePublication Types, MeSH Terms, Substances, Secondary Source ID, Grant SupportPublication TypesResearch Support, U.S. Gov't, P.H.S.MeSH TermsAmino Acid SequenceAnimalsBase SequenceChromosomes, Human, Pair 13*DrosophilaDrosophila Proteins*ExonsFemaleFrameshift MutationGene LibraryHoloprosencephaly/genetics*Homeodomain Proteins/genetics*HumansInfantIntronsMaleMiceMolecular Sequence DataMutation*Polymorphism, Single-Stranded ConformationalSequence AlignmentSoftwareTranscription Factors/genetics*Zinc Fingers/genetics*SubstancesDrosophila ProteinsHomeodomain ProteinsOpa protein, DrosophilaTranscription FactorsSecondary Source IDGENBANK/AF104902Grant SupportHD28732/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/United StatesHD29862/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/United StatesHD32467/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/United StatesLinkOut - more resourcesFull Text SourcesNature Publishing GroupEBSCOMedicalClinicalTrials.govHoloprosencephaly - Genetic AllianceMuenke syndrome - Genetics Home Referencenonsyndromic holoprosencephaly - Genetics Home ReferenceZIC2 Gene - Genetics Home ReferenceMiscellaneousMouse Genome Informatics (MGI)PubMed Commons home

On March 1, 1954, the U.S. exploded a hydrogen bomb at Bikini in the South Pacific. The fifteen-megaton bomb was a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, and its fallout spread far beyond the official “no-sail” zone the U.S. had designated. Fishing just outside the zone at the time of the blast, the Lucky Dragon #5 was showered with radioactive ash. Making the difficult voyage back to their home port of Yaizu, twenty-year-old Oishi Matashichi and his shipmates became ill from maladies they could not comprehend. They were all hospitalized with radiation sickness, and one man died within a few months. The Lucky Dragon #5 became the focus of a major international incident, but many years passed before the truth behind U.S. nuclear testing in the Pacific emerged. Late in his life, overcoming social and political pressures to remain silent, Oishi began to speak about his experience and what he had since learned about Bikini. His primary audience was schoolchildren; his primary forum, the museum in Tokyo built around the salvaged hull of the Lucky Dragon #5. Oishi’s advocacy has helped keep the Lucky Dragon #5 incident in Japan’s national consciousness.
Oishi relates the horrors he and the others underwent following Bikini: the months in hospital; the death of their crew mate; the accusations by the U.S. and even some Japanese that the Lucky Dragon #5 had been spying for the Soviets; the long campaign to win government funding for medical treatment; the enduring stigma of exposure to radiation. The Day the Sun Rose in the West stands as a powerful statement about the Cold War and the U.S.–Japan relationship as it impacted the lives of a handful of fishermen and ultimately all of us who live in the post-nuclear age.

Day of Two Suns: U.S. Nuclear Testing and the Pacific Islanders Paperback
"This is a compelling account of an incident that few of us remember today, but which had an impact far beyond the few fishermen on the Lucky Dragon #5 who were irradiated in the Bravo test sixty-some years ago. It is a glimpse of the world situation at the time through the lens of the unfortunate fate of the ship and its crew. The author captures the tension between Japan and the U.S. over the incident, which occurred soon after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the anti-nuclear testing crusade that was beginning even back then, the self-righteous insistence of a nuclear power on continuing nuclear tests even while asserting limited responsibility for damages, and so much more." --Francis X. Hezel, S.J., director of Micronesian Seminar
Oishi Matashichi was born in 1934 and went to sea as a boy of fourteen. On March 1, 1954, the ship on which he was sailing encountered what one crewman called "the day the sun rose in the west." The Bikini test ("Bravo") of the U.S. hydrogen bomb contaminated the ship and its crew with radioactive fallout. Once he had recovered from the dire immediate effects on his health, Oishi left the sea and became the proprietor of a laundry shop. Late in life he became a peace advocate--telling his story to groups of schoolchildren throughout Japan. In 2010 he traveled to New York to appear at the nuclear non-proliferation treaty conference.
Richard H. Minear is professor emeritus of history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a prominent translator of survivor accounts of Hiroshima.

Distribution of Campylobacter cases per day. When averaged for 1989 to 2002, the epidemic begins at approximately day 130, peaks at approximately day 160, and gradually declines through the rest of the year.
Emerg Infect Dis. 2005 Mar;11(3):361-364.
Cases of Campylobacter infection in England and Wales based on the patient specimen date. Figure shows broadly similar changes in patterns of infection across the country as measured by laboratory reporting per town or city (cases as a percentage of the annual total) by day of year. Laboratories were ordered by the total number of cases reported over the 14-year period (Appendix).
Campylobacter cases by week and Musca domestica larval growth times. Campylobacter cases per day are plotted against the minimum M. domestica growth times for the 14 days before the date for weeks from January 1989 to December 1999. The time taken for M. domestica larvae to develop was based on understood growth temperatures (145 days divided by the number of degrees above 12°C, up to an optimum of 36°C) (). The temperatures were based on a maximum temperature in 47 temperature sampling sites across England and Wales in the 2 weeks before (Appendix).

Tepco, as the company is known, expects the cooling system to resume operating by the end of today, it said in an e-mailed statement. It would take about two weeks for the pool to reach 65 degrees Celsius (149 degrees Fahrenheit), the regulatory safety limit, from the 15.1 degrees Celsius recorded at 2 p.m., it said.
The earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 caused three meltdowns and a massive release of radiation at the Fukushima plant, forcing about 160,000 people to evacuate and leaving neighboring areas uninhabitable for decades. Last month, a rat caused a blackout at the plant, highlighting the vulnerability of its power and cooling systems more than a year after the government said its damaged reactors had been brought into a stable state, known as cold shutdown. The cooling system for the spent fuel pool at the No. 3 reactor was found to have stopped after a power supply alarm went off at 2:27 p.m. today, Tepco said. The utility is investigating the cause, it said.
The utility concluded last week that the rat had short-circuited a switchboard at the plant, causing a power outage at four pools used to cool spent nuclear fuel rods. Power was mostly restored the next day before the spent fuel rods started overheating and releasing radiation, according to Tepco.

Showing 1-4 of 233 reviews
5.0 out of 5 starsGood device that works well for its price point
For what it is, this device is a 5. Personally I would prefer a larger, sturdier device for more money like $75, but for the $35 they have built a useful device with a great, high visibility display. Maybe someday they make a rugged Premier model.
Operation is simple. Plug in the 32-pin connector at bottom. Turn on power supply. Press button on tester. If your 32-pin is good, then you can switch in and out other connectors. When multiple connectors are plugged in, press button to cycle through results. Each result shows the different voltages supplied by the connector. There are 5 ports and support the following connection types:
32-pin motherboard main supply
8-pin or 6-pin PCI-E (red)
molex 4-pin peripheral power supply
molex 4-pin or 8-pin CPU power supply
The SATA connector does not have the little L-shaped key, so you have to look closely to fit it the right way.
This device has already proven very useful to me because I have a power supply that testing reveals works perfectly fine except for one connector, so I can now re-use the supply by just ignoring that one bad spare connector. Note that power supplies have a protection circuit that causes the entire power supply to shut down if one connector shorts. So, if you have one bad connector and you have it plugged in, then it will seem as though the entire power supply is bad because it will shut down. However, if you identify that bad connector, then you can just make sure it is not plugged in, and you are good to go.
Since I can now re-use my power supply, this device has already saved me $100.
3.0 out of 5 starsGood, not perfect.
Pros: Simple and straightforward to operate. No guess work. LCD turns one color for pass, one for fail.
Only gripe I have is the cheap plastic housing. Was inserting molex cable (and we all know how cheaply and ill fitting those are), and the moderate amount of force I used popped open the housing. Fortunately it just snapped back into place and did appear to break the connector. You'd think for $30 they could at least put a few screws in to keep this flimsy thing together.
Deducted 1 star for the cheapness of build, another for the price not reflecting this. Overall seemed to work and satisfy my concern of a bad PSU.
5.0 out of 5 starsWorth it! Don't go cheap unless you love regret
Super easy to use. I love that it has two test modes. You can either let it auto-cycle through all the plugs or manually test each one. Also the failure of a rail will be indicated three ways so that it can't be missed or mistaken. First is the big "F" where the rail voltage should read. Next, the soft blue LED screen goes to red. And finally you get a disturbing audio key. So, if you set it to auto you can do something else. If you hear a beep (after the start beep) you know you have a problem.
Construction is nice. Most people said it was sturdy while a few actually thought it was flimsy. I'm in the sturdy category.
All in all I think the price point is just right for this tool. I ordered a cheap one a few days ago from Amazon that only had leads for each rail. It was super cheap but highly rated. I plugged it in and the sata "clicked" or popped and then smelled burnt. Great. Almost lit the joint on fire. I immediately ordered this one because I couldn't put any faith into the cheap unit.
Added bonus: this times the response in milliseconds; a component to the psu that could be helpful in determining if a psu could become problematic in the near future but is still technically ok at the current time ( at least I was told that a borderline very high timing could be a sign of coming trouble)
Here is why it's a 5 Star item:
3) Auto and manual testing modes
4) Auto shut off for both the unit itself plus it auto shuts off psu when done testing in auto
5) Clarity: LCD is very easy to read even when out of arms reach
6) Plug design makes sense. VGA are red(like a lot of psus) Plus it fits 8 pin pcie whereas the cheap one only fit the 6pin pcie. ( I know the other two are grounds but with the cheap ones I couldn't test my custom cables because unlike the stick plug, the last two pins can't be split from the plug. So if I just had a faulty custom.cable I would've never diagnosed the problem with the cheap one.
That's all folks! I think this was well worth the money and glad I can add it to my sizeable list of pc tools
5.0 out of 5 starsI like this little thing.
This is made by Thermaltake who, in my opinion, is no stranger to power supplies and other PC components.
The box feels sturdy and comfortable in my hand. The LCD is nice and bright and easy to read. The instructions are well written and easy to understand.
To use this thing, you basically:
remove AC power from power supply
plug in the main 20 or 24 pin lead from power supply to bottom of tester
plug in additional rails to test, such as pci-e (2/4), old fashioned molex, cpu rail (2/4) or sata power
provide AC power to power supply
hit the button on the tester to power up the power supply and press again to cycle thru the different rails
the LCD is blue if all is well and turns red and beeps if all isn't well
at the end of the tests it turns the power supply back off
you can also hold the button to automatically test each connected rail for 5 seconds
I have tested about 4 power supplies so far and found one bad one. The nice thing about the LCD is that it shows you the voltage reading as well as what it should be right next to it. Easy identification of what you are looking at/testing.
The only concern I have is that I don't think this particular tester puts the power supply under load. I think this could be an important test. And of course this won't tell you if your power supply is overloaded - you should be able to figure that out on your own. But - it certainly is a nice and easy (and professional looking) way to test a power supply.

Nasa reveals bacteria that can live on arsenic instead of phosphorus | Science | The Guardian
The bacteria, christened GFAJ-1, appear to incorporate arsenic into their DNA, lipids and proteins, forcing a rethink of how life might look on other planets
Use our story tracker to comment on this story and suggest updates and further sources of information
Thursday 2 December 2010 12.45 EST First published on Thursday 2 December 2010 12.45 EST
For the past week, websites have been buzzing with rumours that Nasa was about to unveil something big, something to do with extraterrestrial life – maybe even a real-life alien. Had they found evidence that we are not alone?
The reality is nowhere near as epoch-making, but is a fascinating discovery that if confirmed will force a rethink of life on Earth and have implications for how we identify it on other planets.
A bacterium discovered in a Californian lake appears to be able to use arsenic in its molecular make-up instead of phosphorus – even incorporating the toxic chemical into its DNA. That's significant because it goes against the general rule that all terrestrial life depends on six elements: oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus. These are needed to build DNA, proteins and fats and are some of the biological signatures of life that scientists look for on other planets.
Christened GFAJ-1, the microbe lends weight to the notion held by some astrobiologists that there might be "weird" forms of life on Earth, as yet undiscovered, that use elements other than the basic six in their metabolism. Among those who have speculated is Prof Paul Davies, a cosmologist at Arizona State University and an author on the latest research.
"This organism has dual capability – it can grow with either phosphorus or arsenic," said Davies. "That makes it very peculiar, though it falls short of being some form of truly 'alien' life belonging to a different tree of life with a separate origin. However, GFAJ-1 may be a pointer to even weirder organisms. The holy grail would be a microbe that contained no phosphorus at all."
In a research paper published in the journal Science, Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a Nasa astrobiology research fellow in residence at the US Geological Survey, described a bacterium she found in California's highly salty and arsenic-rich Mono Lake. It is a strain of the Halomonadaceae family of "gamma proteobacteria".
Although the microbe grew better when fed phosphorus, Wolfe-Simon successfully grew it in the laboratory on a diet that was very low in phosphorus and high in arsenic. Wolfe-Simon was surprised to find that the microbe appeared to have incorporated the arsenic molecules into its DNA, in place of phosphorus.
Davies said that GFAJ-1 "is surely the tip of a big iceberg, and so has the potential to open up a whole new domain of microbiology".
Wolfe-Simon said the discovery was about more than the contents of Mono Lake. "If something here on Earth can do something so unexpected, what else can life do that we haven't seen yet? Now is the time to find out."
Arsenic and phosphorus are chemically similar. In fact arsenic is toxic precisely because biological cells cannot always tell the difference. They use arsenic instead of phosphorus, but because the arsenic-based compounds are less stable in water, cells are unable to function properly and die.
Zita Martins, an astrobiologist at Imperial College London, said the research indicated the breadth of life on Earth. "The thing people have to remember is that it has been known for a long time that we have organisms we call extremophiles – organisms that live in so-called weird conditions. In that sense, life as we know it is not only the normal organisms but also organisms that live in conditions of extremely high temperature or really low temperature or acidic conditions. These are conditions you'd think that no organisms could grow. In that sense, this discovery could fit into that category ... because it is an organism that lives in conditions that are toxic."
The discovery could have implications for the way scientists look for life on other planets. "For future space missions that try to detect life, if we are just concerned about the elements we should follow, we always included carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur and phosphorus," said Martins. "Now we have one more element we should follow."
But she said that planned missions to look for signs of life, mainly to Mars, were not following individual elements but rather the more complex molecules that form the building blocks of life, such as amino acids and nucleic acids.
Some researchers are not convinced that the study proves the microbe is incorporating the toxic element into its proteins and DNA. Steven Benner, an astrobiologist at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Florida, told Science that this conclusion was "not established by this work".

Agency Wants U.S. Waiver On Rent Rules - The New York Times
N.Y. / Region|Agency Wants U.S. Waiver On Rent Rules
Agency Wants U.S. Waiver On Rent Rules
By CLIFFORD J. LEVY APRIL 10, 1997
Seeking to remake itself in an era of shrinking government subsidies, the New York City Housing Authority said yesterday that it would ask Federal officials for a far-reaching waiver from most of the regulations that restrict how much rent it can charge and what kind of people it must house.
The waiver would give new impetus to the Housing Authority's effort to generate more money by turning over some of its high-rise buildings to private managers and increasing the number of tenants with jobs, who can pay more rent. It would, for example, allow the authority to charge tenants more than 30 percent of their incomes for rent, which is currently forbidden under a landmark Federal rule.
The request to Washington marks an important moment in the 63-year history of the Housing Authority, an attempt to cope with sharp cuts in Federal housing aid being pushed by the Republican majority in Congress. But the application is also stirring opposition from some advocacy groups, which contend that the Federal Government needs to closely monitor the Housing Authority to protect the interests of tenants.
The groups also maintain that the authority is abandoning its historic mission of providing housing to those with no place else to go. They said that if the authority opens its doors only to those with higher incomes, then more poor people will end up homeless.
The authority, which houses 600,000 tenants in 331 projects, is the largest and one of the most highly regarded public housing agencies in the nation. In the last three years, Congress has cut its Federal subsidies by hundreds of millions of dollars, and the authority's top officials expect aid to drop even further by the end of the decade.
Under current law, the authority must charge tenants rents that are equal to 30 percent of their incomes. With a waiver, the authority would be required to set ''reasonable'' rents, meaning that it could charge some tenants more than 30 percent of their income. But the authority has not yet decided how often it would invoke that power.
The authority could also use a waiver to lower the percentage for some tenants.
Hilly Gross, a spokesman for the authority, said officials believed that the waiver would particularly help the authority prepare for the Federal welfare law, which is likely to reduce benefits that some tenants get to pay rent. Under current rules, welfare recipients who make additional money from jobs must pay 30 percent of the extra earnings to the authority as rent, a structure that some see as a disincentive to work. With the waiver, the authority could let welfare recipients keep a higher percentage or even all of those earnings. It could also use some of its subsidies from the Housing and Urban Development Department to establish job training programs for welfare recipients, officials said.
''What we hope to gain in applying is more flexibility to help those who under the welfare reform act are in danger of losing supportive services currently available,'' Mr. Gross said.
Mr. Gross emphasized that the authority was still writing its application for the waiver, and would hold public hearings and solicit the views of tenants before submitting it. The application is due next month.
The authority is seeking the waiver under a new Federal program called Moving to Work, being administered by HUD. Officials from HUD will choose up to 30 of the most successful housing authorities in the nation for the program. The authorities picked will be asked to devise their own set of regulations, which HUD officials will evaluate, suggest changes to and then approve.
Authorities that receive waivers must continue to seek Washington's approval to demolish public housing.
The waiver ''says that the rules and regulations of the public housing law generally don't apply,'' said Rod Solomon, a senior HUD official. ''It has some safeguards to make sure that low-income people continue to be served and that rents continue to be reasonable and that as many people are served as were served before. But it gives them much more flexibility than the public housing laws do to deliver housing assistance.''
The authority is believed to have a good chance of receiving one of the waivers, in part because of its strong reputation. And the HUD Secretary is Andrew Cuomo, who has worked on housing issues in the city and is expected to pay close attention to the authority's application.
Republicans in Congress say that with the waivers, the best housing authorities will serve as testing grounds for innovative strategies that then can be used in the many poorly performing authorities. The Republicans assert that Federal housing policy has largely been a failure, which is why they have cut the subsidies and tried to free local housing agencies of regulations that the Republicans see as burdensome.
Some advocacy groups in New York City disagreed, saying the authority needed to be supervised by Washington. They said it had a history of ignoring tenants' rights, even when there has been Federal oversight.
''Who is going to be looking over their shoulder to make sure that they are doing the right thing?'' asked Judith Goldiner, a housing lawyer with the Legal Aid Society.
Wayne H. Sherwood, an expert on public housing, noted that a waiver for the New York City authority would have far greater impact than one in most other places, largely because there is such a housing shortage in the city. There are at least 130,000 people on the waiting list for the authority's apartments.
If granted a waiver, the authority could try to lure more higher-income tenants, people who might never consider public housing in another city.
''In most other cities, the demand just isn't there,'' Mr. Sherwood said. ''In New York, you might start seeing a major turnover in the public housing population very quickly.''
