Notice of Public Meeting on the

Fastener Quality Act (FQA)

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology (NIST), Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NIST will hold an open

meeting on June 16, 1998, to provide

details and interpretations on the

regulations related to the Quality

Assurance System (QAS) of fastener

manufacturing contained in the April

14, 1998, final regulation under the

Fastener Quality Act (FQA) (Public Law

101–592, as amended by Public Law

104–113). The purpose of this meeting

is to provide information on

requirements relevant to the registration

of manufacturing facilities practicing

QAS, accreditation of registrars, and

recognition of registrar accreditation

bodies. Fastener manufacturers, major

end users of fasteners (automobile,

aerospace, heavy machinery, and

others), registrar accreditation bodies,

quality system registrars, consensus

standards bodies, and academics with

interest in this subject may want to

participate in this meeting.

DATES: The meeting will be held on June

16, 1998, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Individuals wishing to participate must

register with NIST not later than June

10, 1998. Questions on the QAS
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 104 / Monday, June 1, 1998 / Notices 29703

regulations to be addressed at the

meeting should be sent to Dr. Subhas G.

Malghan, by June 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in

the Red Auditorium, Administration

Building (Building 101), at NIST, in

Gaithersburg, Maryland.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: All

questions related to this meeting should

be directed to Dr. Subhas G. Malghan,

FQA Program Manager, Building 820,

Room 306, NIST, Gaithersburg, MD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

agenda for the meeting is as follows:

1. Welcome and opening remarks

2. Overview of QAS regulations

3. Overview of requirements of the

registrar accreditation bodies and

registrars

4. Overview of the requirements of the

QAS manufacturing facilities

requiring registration

5. Discussion/answers to questions sent

to NIST by participants by June 5,

1998

6. Closing

Following issuance of the final

regulations on September 26, 1996, the

automobile industry expressed concern

to the Department of Commerce

(Department) that the Act and the

implementing regulations did not

recognize modern manufacturing

methods using prevention-based QAS

employing statistical process controls

(SPC). On February 4, 1997, a public

workshop was held at NIST to solicit

information from all interested parties.

The Department published a notice of

proposed rule making in the Federal

Register on September 8, 1997, seeking

public comments on proposed

amendments to the regulations that

recognize the use of prevention-based

QAS under the FQA. The final rule

published on April 14, 1998, is based on

comments received in response to the

notice of proposed rulemaking

published in the Federal Register on

September 8, 1997, (62 FR 47240–

47260)(1997) amending regulations

found at 15 CFR Part 280 implementing

the FQA. This final rule established the

procedures for registration of in-process

inspection activities of qualifying

manufacturing facilities that use QAS,

revised definitions and related sections

for clarity, and corrected editorial

errors. These changes will facilitate the

implementation of the Act and will

better accommodate modern industry

practices by incorporating these

practices into the certification process of

fasteners covered by the Act.

The purpose of the meeting is to

address issues relevant to the

implementation of the final regulations

specific to QAS and provide a forum for

discussion of questions on QAS. To

facilitate coverage of issues raised by the

participants, NIST is requesting that all

questions be sent to NIST by June 5,

1998. Every attempt will be made to

address these questions at the meeting.

Other questions not related to QAS may

be sent, and if time permits, these

questions will also be addressed.

on all living marine resource matters to

ensure that the Nation’s living marine

resource policies and programs meet the

needs of commercial and recreational

fishermen and environmental, state,

consumer, academic, and other national

interests. The Secretary continues to

rely on the expertise of MAFAC for the

development of national fisheries policy

and program initiatives. This advice is

essential to meet the needs of the

fisheries and of those concerned with

the fisheries.

Membership

MAFAC will consist of at least 15, but

not more that 21, members to be

appointed by the Secretary to assure a

balanced representation among

commercial and recreational fishermen

and environmental, state, consumer,

academic, and other national interests.

Function

MAFAC will function solely as an

advisory body and in compliance with

provisions of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act. Copies of MAFAC’s

revised charter have been filed with the

appropriate committees of the Congress

and with the Library of Congress.
