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) 1–09, Structural Plywood. The standard, prepared by the Committee for PS 1, establishes requirements (for those who choose to adhere to the standard) for the principal types and grades of structural plywood and provides a basis for common understanding among producers, distributors, and users of the product. This standard covers the wood species, veneer grading, adhesive bonds, panel construction and workmanship, dimensions and tolerances, marking, moisture content and packaging of structural plywood intended for construction and industrial uses. 
DATES : Written comments regarding the 
proposed revision to PS 1–09 should be submitted to the Standards Services Division, NIST, no later than October 7, 2019. 
ADDRESSES : An electronic copy of the 
proposed revision to the standard, PS 1–09, can be obtained at the following website: https://www.nist.gov/ 
standardsgov/voluntary-product- standards-program. This site also includes a summary of the significant changes. Written comments on the proposed revision should be submitted to David F. Alderman, Standards Coordination Office, NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2100, Gaithersburg, MD 20899–2100. Electronic comments may be submitted via email to david.alderman@nist.gov.

David F. Alderman, Standards Coordination Office, 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). The Committee for PS 1 is responsible for maintaining, revising, and interpreting the standard, and is comprised of producers, distributors, users, and others with an interest in the standard. Committee members voted on the revision and approved. The Committee then submitted a report to NIST along with the voting results and the draft revised standard. NIST has determined that the revised standard should be issued for public comment. 
Voluntary Product Standard PS 1–09

After conducting a review of the current standard, PS 1–09, the Committee for PS 1 determined that updates were needed to reflect current industry practices and developed the proposed revision to the standard. The proposed revision includes the following changes: editorial corrections, new and revised definitions, and updated references. A complete list of proposed changes can be found at https://www.nist.gov/ standardsgov/voluntary-product- standards-program.
