American National StandardsMaintained Under ContinuousMaintenanceThe ANSI Procedures for the Development and Coordination ofAmerican National Standards (ANSI Procedures) provide two optionsfor the maintenance of American National Standards (ANS): periodicmaintenance (see clause 4.4.1) and continuous maintenance (seeclause 4.4.2). Continuous maintenance is defined as follows:

The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standardsdeveloper. A documented program for periodic publication ofrevisions shall be established by the standards developer.Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with theseprocedures. The published standard shall include a clear statementof the intent to consider requests for change and information on thesubmittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established fortimely, documented consensus action on each request for changeand no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revisionprocess. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of fouryears, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken inaccordance with 4.4.1 and 4.4.3.

The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that forstandards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option,separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSIAccredited Standards Developers have formally registered standardsunder the Continuous Maintenance option.

• AAMVA

• AGRSS

• ASC B109 (AGA)

• ASHRAE

• ASME

• ASTM

• NACE

• NBBPVI

• NSF International

• TIA

• Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

To obtain additional information with regard to these standards, suchas contact information at the ANSI accredited standards developer,please visit ANSI Online at www.ansi.org, select STANDARDS INFO,and choose "American National Standards Maintained UnderContinuous Maintenance". This information is also available directlyat http://web.ansi.org/public/ans_main/default.htm.

Alternatively, you may contact the Procedures & StandardsAdministration Department (PSA) at [email protected] or via fax at212-840-2298. If you request that information be provided via E-mail,please include your E-mail address; if you request that information beprovided via fax, please include your fax number. Thank you.

Proposed Foreign Government Regulations

Call for Comment

U.S. manufacturers, exporters, regulatory agencies and standards developing organizations may be interested in proposed foreign technical regulations issued by members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In accordance with the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement), members are required to report proposed technical regulations that may significantly affect trade to the WTO Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, who in turn disseminates the information to all WTO members. The purpose of this requirement is to provide trading partners with an opportunity to review and comment on the regulation before it becomes final.

To distribute information on these proposed foreign technical regula-tions, the National Center for Standards and Certification Information

(NCSCI), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), provides an on-line service - Export Alert! - that allows interested parties to register and obtain notifications, via e-mail, for countries and industry sectors of interest to them. To register, go to http://ts.nist.gov/ncsci and click on "Export Alert!".

NCSCI serves as the U.S. WTO TBT inquiry point and receives copies of all notifications, in English, to disseminate to U.S. industry. To obtain copies of the full text of the regulations or for further information, contact NCSCI, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2160, Gaithersburg, MD 20899-2160; telephone (301) 975-4040; fax (301) 926-1559, e-mail - [email protected].

NCSCI will also request an extension of the comment period and transmit comments to the issuing foreign agency for consideration.
