approve, or recommend any of the 

proposals or other information 

contained in this notice or in the 

publications produced by the NCWM. 

The NCWM is an organization of 

weights and measures officials of the 

states, counties, and cities of the United 

States, and representatives from the 

private sector and federal agencies. 

These meetings bring together 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 65635 

government officials and representatives 

of business, industry, trade associations, 

and consumer organizations on subjects 

related to the field of weights and 

measures technology, administration, 

and enforcement. NIST participates to 

encourage cooperation between federal 

agencies and the states in the 

development of legal metrology 

requirements. NIST also promotes 

uniformity in state laws, regulations, 

and testing procedures used in the 

regulatory control of commercial 

weighing and measuring devices, 

packaged goods, and for other trade and 

commerce issues. 

The NCWM has established multiple 

committees, task groups, and other 

working bodies to address legal 

metrology issues of interest to regulatory 

officials, industry, consumers, and 

others. The following are brief 

descriptions of some of the significant 

agenda items that will be considered by 

some of the NCWM Committees at the 

NCWM Interim Meeting. Comments will 

be taken on these and other issues 

during several public comment sessions. 

At this stage, the items are proposals. 

This meeting also includes work 

sessions in which the Committees may 

also accept comments, and where 

recommendations will be developed for 

consideration and possible adoption at 

the NCWM 2019 Annual Meeting. The 

Committees may withdraw or carryover 

items that need additional development. 

These notices are intended to make 

interested parties aware of these 

development projects and to make them 

aware that reports on the status of the 

project will be given at the Interim 

Meeting. The notices are also presented 

to invite the participation of 

manufacturers, experts, consumers, 

users, and others who may be interested 

in these efforts. 

The Specifications and Tolerances 

Committee (S&T Committee) will 

consider proposed amendments to NIST 

Handbook 44, ‘‘Specifications, 

Tolerances, and other Technical 

Requirements for Weighing and 

Measuring Devices.’’ Those items 

address weighing and measuring 

devices used in commercial 

applications, that is, devices that are 

used to buy from or sell to the public 

or used for determining the quantity of 

products or services sold among 

businesses. Issues on the agenda of the 

NCWM Laws and Regulations 

Committee (L&R Committee) relate to 

proposals to amend NIST Handbook 

130, ‘‘Uniform Laws and Regulations in 

the area of Legal Metrology and Engine 

Fuel Quality’’ and NIST Handbook 133, 

‘‘Checking the Net Contents of Packaged 

Goods.’’ 

NCWM S&T Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 44: 

GEN—General Code 

Item GEN–3 G–A.1. Commercial and 

Law-Enforcement Equipment and G– 

S.2. Facilitation of Fraud 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would expand the 

application of NIST Handbook 44 to 

include accessory equipment (e.g., 

credit/debit card ‘‘skimmers) that can be 

used to defraud or collect unauthorized 

personal or financial information from a 

user when that accessory equipment is 

used in connection with a commercial 

weighing or measuring device. The 

proposal would also expand paragraph 

G–S.2. Facilitation of Fraud by requiring 

credit/debit card readers and other 

devices capable of customer initiated 

electronic financial transactions used in 

conjunction with weighing and 

measuring equipment to: (1) Be 

designed and constructed to restrict 

access and tampering by unauthorized 

persons; and (2) include an event 

counter that records the date and time 

of access. 

In 2018 the S&T Committee assigned 

this item to a NCWM Task Group for 

further development. The Task Group is 

expected to provide an update on its 

development of this item at the 2019 

NCWM Interim Meeting. 

SCL—Scales 

Item SCL–2 S.1.8.5. Recorded 

Representations, Point of Sale Systems 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal requiring additional sales 

information to be recorded by cash 

registers interfaced with a weighing 

element for items that are weighed at a 

checkout stand. These systems are 

currently required to record the net 

weight, unit price, total price, and the 

product class, or in a system equipped 

with price look-up capability, the 

product name or code number. The 

change proposed would add ‘‘tare 

weight’’ to the list of sales information 

currently required. This change has 

been proposed as a nonretroactive 

requirement with an enforcement date 

of January 1, 2022. If the proposal is 

adopted, the additional information 

(i.e., the tare weight) would be required 

to appear on the sales receipt for items 

weighed at a checkout stand (Point of 

Sale Systems) on equipment installed 

into commercial service as of January 1, 

2022. This proposed change would not 

affect equipment already in service. The 

further development of this item was 

assigned to an NCWM Task Group in 

2018 at the request of the S&T 

Committee. The Task Group is expected 

to provide an update on its development 

of this item at the 2019 NCWM Interim 

Meeting. 

SCL–3 Sections Throughout the Code 

To Include Provisions for Commercial 

Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Vehicle Scale 

Systems 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal to amend various sections of 

NIST Handbook 44, Scales Code to 

address WIM vehicle scale systems used 

for commercial applications. This 

‘‘Carry-Over’’ item has appeared on the 

S&T Committee’s agenda since 2016. An 

NCWM Task Group (TG) was formed in 

2016 at the request of the S&T 

Committee to consider a proposal that 

would expand the NIST Handbook 44, 

Weigh-In-Motion Systems Used for 

Vehicle Enforcement Screening— 

Tentative Code to also apply to legal-fortrade (commercial) and law enforcement 

applications. The TG, that is still active 

today, is made up of representatives of 

WIM equipment manufacturers, NIST 

Office of Weights and Measures, state 

weights and measures agencies, and 

others. Members of the TG agreed in 

2016 to eliminate from the proposal any 

mention of a law enforcement 

application and focus solely on WIM 

vehicle scale systems intended for use 

in commercial applications. Members of 

the TG later agreed that commercial 

application of WIM vehicle scale 

systems should be addressed by the 

Scales Code of NIST Handbook 44, 

rather than the Weigh-In-Motion 

Systems Used for Vehicle Enforcement 

Screening—Tentative Code. Recent 

activity by the TG has focused on 

providing evidence supporting the 

claims of WIM scale manufacturers 

regarding the performance capabilities 

of these devices. The TG has requested 

this evidence to indicate whether 

devices being manufactured at this time 

can comply with commercial device 

tolerance applied to comparable static 

weighing devices. The submitter of this 

proposal (a WIM manufacturer) has 

initiated a process where preliminary 

testing can be done to provide the TG 

with data to substantiate the claims 

regarding device performance. 

An additional focus of the TG, since 

its formation in 2016, has been to 

concentrate on the development of 

official test procedures that can be used 

to verify the accuracy of a WIM vehicle 

scale system given the different axle and 

tandem axle configurations of vehicles 

that will typically be weighed by a 

system and a proposed maintenance and 

acceptance tolerance of 0.2 percent on 

gross (total) vehicle weight. The TG is 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
65636 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 

expected to provide an update on its 

development of this item at the 2019 

NCWM Interim Meeting. 

Item SCL–6 UR.3.11. Class II Scales 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal to add a new paragraph to the 

Scales Code of NIST Handbook 44 

requiring users of Accuracy Class II 

scales equipped with a different 

verification scale division value (e) than 

the displayed division value (d) to base 

all commercial transactions on the 

verification scale division (e). When 

these two scale divisions (identified as 

‘‘e’’ and ‘‘d’’) are different, a difference 

in scale’s resolution is established. The 

variation in scale divisions within a 

scale’s capacity range will produce 

either a reduced, or a greater resolution 

in the representation of values for loads 

applied to the scale. According to NIST 

Handbook 44, when these division 

values aren’t equal on Class II scales, the 

value of ‘‘e’’ is required to be larger than 

the value of ‘‘d.’’ This proposal will 

require that all commercial transactions 

conducted using Class II scales will be 

based on ‘‘e’’ (the larger of the two 

divisions). 

Item SCL–7 T.N.3.6. Coupled-InMotion Railroad Weighing Systems; 

T.N.4.6. Time Dependence (Creep) for 

Load Cells During Type Evaluation; 

UR.5. Coupled-In-Motion Railroad 

Weighing Systems; and Appendix D— 

Definitions: Point-Based Railroad 

Weighing Systems 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

new proposal (which replaces one from 

the same submitter that appeared on the 

Committee’s agenda in 2018) to amend 

the Scales Code of NIST Handbook 44 

to allow for the use of point-based, inmotion railroad weighing systems in 

commercial applications. The current 

proposal has eliminated many of the 

changes proposed in the previous 

proposal but has retained recommended 

changes listed below. 

—Increase the tolerance allowed during 

official testing of these types of 

commercial devices used for dynamic 

weighments of unit trains. 

—Provide an exemption for ‘‘pointbased’’ in-motion railroad weighing 

systems from the performance of 

‘‘creep tests’’ during official 

evaluations. 

—Require the user of dynamic weighing 

systems for railway cars to provide a 

suitable static weighing scale, located 

in close proximity to the dynamic 

system to use as a reference scale 

during dynamic scale testing. 

Provide a definition for ‘‘point-based’’ 

railroad weighing systems. 

BCS—Belt-Conveyor Scales 

Item BCS–1 S.1.3. Value of the Scale 

Division; S.1.9. Zero-Ready Indicator; 

S.4. Accuracy Class; S.5. Marking 

Requirements; N.1. General; N.2. 

Conditions of Test; T.1. Tolerance 

Values; T.2. Tolerance Values; and 

UR.3. Maintenance Requirements— 

Scale and Conveyor Maintenance 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal amending the Belt-Conveyor 

Scale Systems Code of NIST Handbook 

44 in multiple sections of the code. This 

proposal has been submitted by the U.S. 

National Work Group on Belt-Conveyor 

Scales and recommends several changes 

to the existing code. Many of the 

recommended changes are intended to 

clarify the application of tolerances to 

material tests that are either performed 

under the same or under varying 

conditions. These changes specify that a 

less stringent application of tolerances 

is to be used when comparing results of 

totalization operations that are 

performed under different flow rates of 

material. Additional recommended 

changes would establish two different 

accuracy classes for these systems. In 

addition to the currently recognized 

systems, an accuracy class would be 

added to the code to encompass systems 

capable of complying with more 

stringent performance requirements 

(tolerance of 0.1%) as compared to the 

existing tolerance (0.25%). 

ABW—Automatic Bulk Weighing 

Systems 

Item ABW–3 A. Application; S. 

Specifications; N. Notes; UR. User 

Requirements; and Appendix D— 

Definitions: Automatic Bulk Weighing 

System 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal to amend the Automatic Bulk 

Weighing Systems Code that would 

broaden the scope of the code to 

encompass additional automated 

weighing systems. This proposal would 

eliminate language in the Application 

Section of the code that currently 

constrains the code’s use to automatic 

weighing systems that operate only as 

specified. The proposal would also 

amend the definition of ‘‘automatic bulk 

weighing system’’ in Appendix D of 

NIST Handbook 44 by broadening its 

application to encompass additional 

automatic weighing systems that do not 

meet the current definition. 

Additionally, the proposal would 

update the code in recognition of more 

recent designs and technology that has 

evolved and is being used in automated 

weighing systems. 

LMD—Liquid Measuring Devices 

Item LMD–5 UR.3.4. Printed Ticket 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would provide an 

exemption to the requirement that the 

identification of liquid measuring 

devices (e.g., dispenser #1) be included 

on a customer’s receipt. This exemption 

would apply to establishments with a 

single dispenser having multiple meters 

or not more than one dispenser with a 

single meter for each product delivered. 

LPG—Liquefied Petroleum Gas and 

Anhydrous Ammonia Liquid-Measuring 

Devices 

Item LPG–2 S.2.5. Zero-Setback 

Interlock, Stationary and Vehicle 

Mounted Meters, Electronic 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal to add a new nonretroactive 

paragraph (effective date to be 

determined) that requires both 

stationary and vehicle mounted 

electronic LPG and anhydrous ammonia 

liquid-measuring devices be designed 

with an automatic interlock system that 

must engage following completion of a 

delivery. The proposal specifies that the 

interlock system must prevent a 

subsequent delivery from occurring 

until such time the indicating elements 

and recording elements, if so equipped, 

have been reset to zero. The proposal 

also requires the automatic interlock 

system to activate within three minutes 

of product flow cessation and this 

‘‘timeout’’ feature be sealable at the 

indicator. 

HGM—Hydrogen Gas-Measuring 

Devices 

Item HGM–6 Tentative Code Status 

and Preamble; A.2.(c) Exceptions; N.2 

Test Medium; N.3. Test Drafts; N.4.1. 

Master Meter (Transfer) Standard Test; 

N.4.2. Gravimetric Tests; N.4.3. PVT 

Pressure Volume Temperature Test; 

N.6.1.1. Repeatability Tests; T.3. 

Repeatability; T.6. Tolerance— 

Minimum Measured Quantity (MMQ) 

and Appendix D. Definitions Where 

Applicable 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would remove the 

tentative status of the existing code and 

make this a permanent code. With 

several amendments throughout this 

tentative code and in the Appendix D 

definitions relative to these devices, the 

proposal states this code has been 

sufficiently vetted and should now be 

made permanent.

GMA—Grain Moisture Meters 

Item GMA–2 Table S.2.5. Categories of 

Devices and Methods of Sealing 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would require (on or after 

the effective date—TBD) grain moisture 

meters approved under the National 

Type Evaluation Program to comply 

with ‘‘Category 3’’ sealing methods. This 

electronic type of sealing would require 

an event logger and the ability to 

generate a printed copy of audit trail 

information that is available through the 

device or through another on-site 

device. 

Item GMA–3 Table T.2.1. Acceptance 

and Maintenance Tolerances Air Oven 

Method for All Grains and Oil Seeds 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would reduce the 

tolerances applied to official grain 

samples used as reference standards 

established when using the Air Oven 

Reference Method. 

MDM—Multiple Dimension Measuring 

Devices 

Item MDM–2 S.1.7. Minimum 

Measurement 

The S&T Committee will consider a 

proposal that would amend requirement 

S.1.7. Minimum Measurement to also 

provide an exemption from that 

requirement for ‘‘mobile tape-based’’ 

MDMD devices. This proposal would 

allow measurements of less than 12 

divisions made using mobile tape-based 

devices to be used in the calculation of 

charges for shipping of parcels. 

NCWM L&R Committee 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbook 130 or NIST 

Handbook 133: 

NIST Handbook 130, Section on 

Uniform Method of Sale (MOS) of 

Commodities 

Item MOS–7 Section 2.4. Firewood 

and Stove Wood 

The L&R Committee will address the 

request to extend the effective date of 

Section 2.4.3.(a) Packaged natural wood 

sold in packaged form in quantities less 

than 0.45 m3 (1⁄8 cord or 16 ft3). This 

could change the effective date of 

enforcement from 2019 until 2021. 

NIST Handbook 130—Section on 

Uniform Open Dating Regulation (ODR) 

Item ODR 1 and ODR NEW Section on 

Uniform Open Dating Regulation 

The L&R Committee will consider a 

proposal under Item ODR 1 to make 

changes to the language within the 

Open Dating Regulation. The Open 

Dating regulation provides requirements 

for standardized date formats found on 

perishable or semi perishable packaged 

foods. The proposed revisions replace 

‘‘Sell By’’ with ‘‘Use By’’ which 

provides consumers with clearer 

guidance to avoid spoilage or loss of 

value for perishable or semi perishable 

foods. 

Under Item ODR NEW, the L&R 

Committee will consider a 

recommended proposal to remove the 

Open Dating Regulation in its entirety 

from NIST Handbook 130. 

NIST Handbook 130 and NIST 

Handbook 133 

The following items are proposals to 

amend NIST Handbooks 130 and 133: 

Block 1 (B1) Items NIST Handbook 

133, ‘‘Checking the Net Contents of 

Packaged Goods,’’ and NIST Handbook 

130, Section on Uniform Packaging and 

Labeling Regulation (PLR), 2.8. 

Multiunit Package 

The L&R Committee will consider a 

proposal for to add a test procedure in 

NIST Handbook 133 for addressing the 

total quantity declaration on multiunit 

or variety packages. In addition, in NIST 

Handbook 130, it will clarify the 

definition of Section 2.8. multiunit 

package.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for new information 

collection. The title will be ‘‘Marine 

Recreational Information Program Social 

Network Analysis In-Person Survey’’. 

In its 2017 review of NOAA Fisheries’ 

Marine Recreational Information 

Program (MRIP), the National 

Academies of Sciences, Engineering, 

and Medicine recommended the 

program enhance its communications 

and outreach activities, particularly 

among the recreational fishing 

community. To address this 

recommendation, MRIP will administer 

two voluntary surveys; (1) the MRIP 

Social Network Survey (a mail survey, 

see 60d FRN published February 2, 1918 

(83 FR 4909)) and (2) the MRIP Social 

Network Analysis In-Person Survey. 

This data collection will help identify 

relationships, networks, and channels 

through which information flows among 

the recreational fishing community. 

This survey will help MRIP more 

effectively engage with its audiences by 

identifying key influencers and 

information pathways, and the areas of 

greatest need and opportunity for 

relationship-building. 

The MRIP Social Network Analysis 

In-Person Survey will interview 

saltwater anglers in three communities 

that are particularly representative as 

revealed by the MRIP Social Network 

Survey (mail survey). The identification 

of these communities can be based on 

the distribution of licensed anglers, 

level of angler fishing avidity, level of 

awareness of state and Federal 

recreational fisheries management
