Announcement of the American

Petroleum Institute’s Standards

Activity

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of intent to develop a

voluntary standard and request for

public comments and participation in

standard’s development.
9670 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 1995 / Notices

SUMMARY: The American Petroleum

Institute (API), with the assistance of

other interested parties, continues to

develop standards, both national and

international, in several areas. This

notice list the standardization effort

currently being conducted. The

publication of this notice by the

National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST) on behalf of API is

being undertaken as a public service.

NIST does not necessarily endorse,

approve, or recommend the proposed

standard being referenced in this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

American Petroleum Institute is

developing a voluntary standard on

which to base a voluntary program to

accredit laboratories that perform testing

on petroleum products [Petroleum Test

Laboratories Accreditation Program

(PTLAP)]. The program objective is to

assist users in identifying laboratories

which meet specific industry standards

and to improve the quality of petroleum

testing results. The proposed standard

and subsequent program will consist of

the following elements:

• Accredited laboratories having a

quality system based on the

requirements of ISO Guide 25, General

Requirements of the Competence of

Calibration and Testing Laboratories.

• Labortories submitting to an on-site

assessment by API-qualified assessors to

establish compliance with program

requirements. This assessment includes

witnessing of test methods, evaluation

of technical competence, and a quality

system review.

• Laboratory participation in the

ASTM Interlaboratory Crosscheck

Program and the successful completion

of one unannounced on-site assessment

evaluation during the three-year

accreditation period.

DATES: The voluntary standard is

expected to be completed by March

1995 following peer review and an open

meeting.

ADDRESSES: Comments regarding this

proposal should be submitted to Roland

Goodman, American Petroleum

Institute, 1220 L Street NW.,

Washington, DC 20005, Telephone (202)

682–8189.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

[Docket Number 950130031–5031–01]

Proposed Voluntary Product Standard;

PS 1–95 ‘‘Construction and Industrial

Plywood’’

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards

and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of circulation of

proposed Voluntary Product Standard

PS 1–95 ‘‘Construction and Industrial

Plywood.’’

SUMMARY: This is to advise the public

that the National Institute of Standards

and Technology is circulating a revision

of Voluntary Product Standard PS 1–83

‘‘Construction and Industrial Plywood’’

for review and comment. The revised

standard, PS 1–95 ‘‘Construction and

Industrial Plywood,’’ is being processed

in accordance with the provisions of the

Department of Commerce ‘‘Procedures

for the Development of Voluntary

Product Standards’’ (15 CFR part 10, as

amended; published June 20, 1986).

DATES: Written comments regarding the

standard should be submitted to the

Standards Management Program, Office

of Standards Services, on or before May

8, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

requests for copies of PS 1–95 should be

directed to the Standards Management

Program, Office of Standards Services,

National institute of Standards and

Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Barbara Meigs, Office of Standards

Services, National Institute of Standards

and Technology, telephone: 301–975–

4025, FAX: 301–963–2871.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

revision, PS 1–95, was developed by the

Standing Committee for Voluntary

Product Standard PS 1–83, composed of

representatives of producers,

distributors, and consumers of

construction and industrial plywood,

and others with an interest in the

Standard. Among the major changes for

PS 1–83 are the incorporation in PS 1–

95 of a performance-based method for

evaluating new species not previously

listed, desirable due to the changing

available timber resource for plywood

production; and the elimination of

Structural II panel grades since this

product has rarely been manufactured

since first introduced in 1966. The text

of the Standard has been reformatted in

some instances, and units of

measurement throughout the Standard

are provided in both metric and

conventional units.

The Standard provides basic technical

requirements for the principal types and

grades of construction and industrial

plywood. It covers the wood species,

veneer grading, glue bonds, panel

construction and workmanship,

dimensions and tolerances, marking,

moisture content, and packing of

plywood intended for construction and

industrial uses. The Standard includes

test methods to determine product

compliance, a glossary of trade terms

and definitions, and a quality

certification program. Additional

information is provided regarding

reinspecting practices.

Authority: 15 USC 272.

Dated: February 14, 1995.
