| waiho ma te whakamā rātou e patu, waiho hei kōrero i a tātou kia atawhai ki te iwi | of mercy). Te Tahi landed on a rock by the mouth of the Whakatāne River named Rukupō and could be seen by the returning canoes. Te Tahi then travelled to the rock Te Toka a Houmea, further inland along the Whakatāne River, where he rested. Later he was killed and his body then taken up the Rangitaiki River to Ōpuru (Te Ōpurunga o Te Tahi—The place where the body of Te Tahi was buried). His kaitiaki, the whale monster Tūtarakauika, swam up the Rangitaiki River and excavated a channel to Ōpuru, retrieved the body of Te Tahi and turned the body into a taniwha. There are several places along the Whakatāne River that are named after Te Tahi. Te Tahi is represented as a Marikihau in several carved houses of Ngāti Awa. The Whakatāne River and its banks have been occupied by the ancestors of Ngāti Awa since before the arrival of Mātaatua. More recently in the 18th and 19th centuries the chiefs Te Pūtarera, Tohi Te Ururangi, Toihau, Hokimōana, Te Ngārara, and their people resided at Te Whare o Toroa, the area around the present day Wairaka Marae which was located originally up against the banks of the river. Since this time there has been reclamation due to the change in the river's course. Cultivations and sites of houses were well established in this region. Throughout this period a number of hapū of Ngāti Awa resided along the Whakatāne River including Ngāti Maumoana, Ngai Te Hapū, Ngāti Ikapuku, Te Patuwai, Ngāti Pūkeko, Te Whānau a Taiwhakaea, Ngāti Hinanoa, Ngāti Kama, Ngai Tāpiki, and Ngāti Hokopū. The Whakatāne River was a life and spiritual source for those people. All of these hapū had various pā, kāinga, and wāhi tapu along the banks of the river. |  New Zealand | 2005 No 28 |

| will, | that, at a minimum, VA would consider the identification of an issue, such as a “shoulder disability,” sufficient for purposes of meeting this criterion for a complete appeal form, even if the form on its face requires additional information. While the current standard appeals form for compensation claims instructs claimants to list each specific issue of disagreement, it also provides selections for more detailed description in association with each issue. For each issue of disagreement, claimants can select an area of disagreement, e.g., service connection, effective date of an award, evaluation of disability, or other and claimants can also provide a percentage of the evaluation sought if applicable. However, VA would consider this form complete if the claimant provides biographical information, the specific issue(s), and the claimant's signature. It would not be necessary for a claimant to describe the area of disagreement or percentage of the evaluation sought for each issue in order for VA to consider the form complete. Once VA receives the complete NOD, it will make the appropriate readjudication determinations necessary for those specific issues listed such as determining whether the correct evaluation percentage or effective date was assigned or if other benefits should have been granted based on the evidence. However, we believe it is valuable for the form to solicit information pertaining to the specific nature of the disagreement, even if claimants can complete the form by providing less information. We note that claimants will facilitate the timely consideration of their appeals if they provide VA with as much information as possible regarding the nature of their disagreement as early in the process as possible. | United States | 79 FR 57659 |

| worksite | a specific area such as a machine shop, engineering space, or fabrication area where one or more employees are performing job tasks. A shipyard may have hundreds of work areas, with only one or a few employees working in any one of those areas. In this final rule, a shipyard “worksite” refers to a group of work areas that are in near proximity to each other. For instance, all of the work areas in a small, concentrated shipyard may constitute a single worksite, even though some areas may be located on a vessel and others landside. By contrast, a large shipyard that has multiple piers, docks, large vessels, and landside facilities that are spread across a wide area would be considered to have multiple worksites. In these shipyards, it is unlikely that a first aid provider located in one worksite would be able to reach all worksites within the shipyard quickly enough to provide effective intervention. Accordingly, OSHA believes that each worksite must have an adequate number of first aid providers to ensure that timely intervention is provided to injured/ill employees working at a work area within that worksite. By comparison, a single work area distantly located from other work areas may, of necessity, be considered a worksite because first aid providers in other work areas would not be able to reach the area quickly enough to effectively aid an injured/ill employee. | United States | 76 FR 24575 |
