fully Informative; both weight and volume are fully informative
				on their own, (2) there was no reason to require a weight declaration on normal
				retail-sized packages of cooking oil; to implement such a requirement would
				place an undue burden on manufacturers and packers, and (3) if a combination
				declaration is required, a manufacturer or packer must meet both declarations;
				again, to implement such a requirement would place an additional burden on
				manufacturers and packers.
Finally, the Committee considered requiring "'packaged cooking
				oils sold at retail" to be sold by volume. The
Committee rejected this idea because it did not believe that a
				manufacturer or packer would necessarily know, at the time of packaging the
				product, whether it would be destined for retail or institutional sale.
The Committee believes that the retail market for large
				quantities of cooking oil is relatively small and does not believe that most
				consumers will be doing cost comparisons between large containers of oil sold
				at a membership club by weight, and small packages of oil sold at a grocery
				store by volume. The Committee does not consider it appropriate to change an
				entire, established industry for the convenience of a very small number of
				specialized retail consumers. The Committee recommends that cooking oil
				manufacturers and packers include supplemental quantity declarations in liquid
				volume on any package of cooking oil that may end up in the retail marketplace.
				The Committee has withdrawn this item.

			 REGULATION
236-1
V Amend
			 §§
										2.1. Active Certificate of
			 Conformance, 2.2. Device, and 3. Certificate of Conformance
Source:
Northeast Weights and Measures Association
				(NEWMA).
Recommendation:
Amend §§
										2.1 Active Certificate of
				Conformance, 2.2 Device, and 3. Certificate of Conformance of the Uniform
				National Type Evaluation Regulation in Handbook 130 as follows:
2.1.
Active Certificate of
			 Conformance.
- A document issued based on testing by a Participating
			 Laboratory, which the certificate holder maintains in active status under the
			 National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP). The document constitutes evidence of
			 conformance of a type with the requirements of this document and the NIST
			 Handbooks 44, 105-1, 105-2, or 105-3. By maintaining the Certificate in active
			 status, the Certificate holder declares the intent to continue to manufacture
			 or remanufacture the device consistent with the type and in conformance with
			 the applicable requirements. For manufacturers of grain moisture meters,
			 maintenance of active status also involves annual participation in the NTEP
			 Laboratory On-going Calibration Program. OCP (Phase II). A device is traceable
			 to a Certificate of Conformance if:
(a) it is
			 of the same type identified on the Certificate: and
(b) it was manufactured during the period
			 that the Certificate was maintained in active status.
