Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Procedures
require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards
developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected
to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early
notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS
and in some instances a PINSrelated to a national adoption is
optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is
referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,see
clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process
Requirements for American National Standards.
Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have
been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in
Standards Action entitled"American National Standards Maintained
Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable
information with regard to standards maintainedunder the continuous
maintenance option. To view information about additional standards
for which a PINS has been submitted and to search approvedANS,
please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards
information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.
Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive
more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the
standards developer directlywithin 30 days of the publication of
this announcement.

American National StandardsMaintained Under
ContinuousMaintenanceThe ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process
Requirements forAmerican National Standards provide two options for
the maintenanceof American National Standards (ANS): periodic
maintenance (seeclause 4.7.1) and continuous maintenance (see
clause 4.7.2).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 the procedures contained in the
ANSI EssentialRequirements.
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.

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 Member
countries 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. In turn, the Secretariat disseminates the information
to all WTO Members. The purpose of this requirement is to provide
global trading partners with an opportunity to review and comment
on the regulations before they become final.
The National Center for Standards and Certification Information
(NCSCI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), distributes these proposed foreign technical regulations
to U.S. stakeholders via an online service, Notify U.S. Notify U.S.
is an e-mail and Web service that allows interested U.S. parties to
register, obtain notifications, and read full texts of regulations
from countries and for industry sectors of interest to them. To
register for Notify U.S., please go to Internet URL:
http://www.nist.gov/notifyus/ and click on “Subscribe”.
NCSCI is the WTO TBT Inquiry Point for the U.S. and receives all
notifications and full texts of regulations to disseminate to U.S.
Industry. For further information, please contact: NCSCI, NIST, 100

Information Concerning
American National Standards INCITS Executive Board
ANSI Accredited SDO and US TAG to ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information
Technology The InterNational Committee for Information Technology
Standards (INCITS), an ANSI accredited SDO, is the forum for
information technology developers, producers and users to create
and maintain formal de jure IT standards. INCITS' mission is to
promote the effective use of Information and Communication
Technology through standardization in a way that balances the
interests of all stakeholders and increases the global
competitiveness of the member organizations.
The INCITS Executive Board serves as the consensus body with its
oversight of programs of its 30+ Technical Committees.
Additionally, the INCITS Executive Board exercises international
leadership in its role as the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to
ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information Technology.
The INCITS Executive Board seeks to broaden its membership base
and is recruiting new participants in all membership
categories:
- special interest (user, academic, consortia)
- non-business (government and major/minor SDOs)
- business (large/small businesses and consultants)
Membership in the INCITS Executive Board is open to all directly
and materially affected parties in accordance with INCITS
membership rules. To find out more about participating on the
INCITS Executive Board, please contact Jennifer Garner at
