Proposed Voluntary Product Standard 
20–15, American Softwood Lumber Standard 
AGENCY : National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST), Commerce. 
ACTION : Notice and request for 
comments. 
SUMMARY : The National Institute of 
Standards and Technology (NIST) is soliciting public comment on a proposed revision to Voluntary Product Standard (PS) 20–15, American Softwood Lumber Standard. This standard, prepared by the American Lumber Standard Committee, serves the procurement and regulatory needs of numerous federal, state, and local government agencies by providing for uniform, industry-wide grade-marking and inspection requirements for softwood lumber. The implementation of the standard also allows for uniform labeling and auditing of treated wood and wood packaging materials. As part of a five-year review process, NIST is seeking public comment and invites interested parties to review the revised standard and submit comments. 
DATES : Written comments regarding the 
proposed revision should be submitted to the Standards Services Division, NIST, no later than April 29, 2019. 
ADDRESSES : An electronic copy (in PDF) 
of the current standard, PS 20–15, can be obtained at the following website https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/2017/06/13/doc_ ps_20-15_
american_ softwood_ lumber_ standard- 
final-2-25-15.pdf. 
Written comments on the standard 
should be submitted to David F. Alderman, Standards Services Division, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2100, Gaithersburg, MD 20899–2100; fax (301) 975–4715. Electronic comments may be submitted via email to david.alderman@nist.gov.

David F. Alderman, Standards Services Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, telephone (301) 975– 4019; fax: (301) 975–4715, email: david.alderman@nist.gov. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The 
proposed revision of the standard has been developed and is being processed in accordance with Department of Commerce provisions in 15 CFR part 10, Procedures for the Development of Voluntary Product Standards, as amended (published June 20, 1986). Under 15 CFR part 10, the American Lumber Standard Committee (Committee) acts as the Standing Committee for PS 20–15. The Committee is responsible for maintaining, revising, and interpreting the standard, and is comprised of producers, distributors, users, and others with an interest in the standard. 
PS 20–15 establishes standard sizes 
and requirements for developing and coordinating the lumber grades of the various species of lumber, the assignment of design values, and the preparation of grading rules applicable to each species. Its provisions include implementation of the standard through an accreditation and certification program; establishment of principal classifications and lumber sizes for yard, structural, and factory/shop use; classification, measurement, grading, and grade-marking of lumber; definitions of terms and procedures to provide a basis for the use of uniform methods in the grading inspection, measurement, and description of softwood lumber; commercial names of the principal softwood species; definitions of terms used in describing standard grades of lumber; and commonly used industry abbreviations. The standard also includes the organization and functions of the Committee, the Board of Review, and the National Grading Rule Committee. 
NIST invites public comments on the 
current standard, PS 20–15, which is available at https://www.nist.gov/sites/ default/files/documents/2017/06/13/ doc_ ps_20-15_ american_ softwood_
