This section solicits public comments on proposed draft new American National Standards, including the national adoption of ISO and IEC standards as American National Standards, and on p roposals to revise, reaffirm or withdraw approval of existing American National Standards. A draft standard is listed in this section under the ANSI-accredited standards developer (ASD) that sponsors it and from whom a copy may be obtained. Comments in connection with a draft American National S tandard must be submitted in writing to the ASD no later than the last day of the comment period specified herein. Such comments shall be specific to the section(s) of the standard under review and include sufficient detail so as to enable the reader to understand the commenter's position, concerns and suggested alternative language, if appropriate. Please note that the ANSI Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that an ASD has the right to require that interested parties submit public review comments electronically, in accordance with the developer’s procedures.

Ordering Instructions for "Call-for-Comment" Listings 1. Order from the organization indicated for the specific

proposal. 2. Use the full identification in your order, including the

BSR prefix; for example, Electric Fuses BSR/SAE J554. 3. Include remittance with all orders. 4. BSR proposals w ill not be available after the deadline of

call for comment. Comments should be addressed to the organization indicated, with a copy to the Board of Standards Review, American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036. Fax: 212-840-2298; e-mail: [email protected]

BSR/NSF 245-201x (i4), Wastewater treatment systems - Nitrogenreduction (revision of ANSI/NSF 245-2007)

Send comments (with copy to BSR) to: Mindy Costello, (734) 827-6819,[email protected]

Issue 4 - Updates the table in Section 8.3.3, Analysis, which requirestreated effluent analysis for TKN, NO2, and NO3, However, this samesection requires the raw influent to be analyzed for TKN and not NO2 orNO3, thus not meeting the definition of total nitrogen. The result is apotential discrepancy in calculating the total nitrogen reductionperformance.

BSR AIHA Z9.14-201x, Methodology for Certification of a BiosafetyLevel 3 Lab (new standard)

High-containment laboratory certification is the systematic review andevaluation of all safety features and processes associated with thelaboratory (engineering controls, personal protective equipment,building and system integrity, standard operating procedures (SOPs))and administrative controls. The methodology for certifying a BSL-3will assist professionals in ensuring that all reasonable facility controlsand prudent practices are in place to minimize, to the greatest extentpossible, the risks associated with laboratory operations and the use ofbiohazardous materials.

Project Need: It is estimated that there are over 1300 registeredBSL-3 Laboratories in the U.S. with many more that operate at thatlevel. Standards have not been developed for high-containmentlaboratory design, construction, commissioning or training standardsfor laboratory workers. A clear and unambiguous set of standardsstating what is required to maintain the integrity of high-containmentlaboratories once they have been commissioned and beginoperating is needed.

Stakeholders: Federal Government; Universities; Medical andPharmaceutical Industry; Design and Construction Professionalsinvolved with high-containment facility design; Maintenance andOperation Professionals of high-containment facilities.

American National Standards Maintained UnderContinuous MaintenanceThe ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards provide two options forthe maintenance of American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (see clause 4.7.1) and continuousmaintenance (see clause 4.7.2). Continuous maintenance is defined as follows:

The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standards developer. A documented program for periodic publication ofrevisions shall be established by the standards developer. Processing of these revisions shall be in accordance with theseprocedures. The published standard shall include a clear statement of the intent to consider requests for change andinformation on the submittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established for timely, documented consensus action oneach request for change and no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revision process. In the event that norevisions are issued for a period of four years, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken in accordance withthe procedures contained in the ANSI Essential Requirements.

The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that for standards maintained under the Continuous Maintenanceoption, separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSI Accredited Standards Developers haveformally registered standards under the Continuous Maintenance option.

- AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation)- AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators)- AGA (American Gas Association)- AGRSS, Inc. (Automotive Glass Replacement Safety Standards Committee, Inc.)- ASC X9 (Accredited Standards Committee X9, Incorporated)- ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc.)- ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)- ASTM (ASTM International)- GEIA (Greenguard Environmental Institute)- HL7 (Health Level Seven)- MHI (ASC MH10) (Material Handling Industry)- NBBPVI (National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors)- NCPDP (National Council for Prescription Drug Programs)- NISO (National Information Standards Organization)- NSF (NSF International)- TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association)- UL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.)

Proposed Foreign Government Regulations Call for Comment U.S. manufacturers, exporters, regulatory agencies and standards developing organizations may be interested in proposed foreign technical regulations issued by Member countries of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In accordance with the WTO Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement), Members are required to report proposed technical regulations that may significantly affect trade to the WTO Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland. In turn, the Secretariat disseminates the information to all WTO Members. The purpose of this requirement is to provide global trading partners with an opportunity to review and comment on the regulations before they become final. The National Center for Standards and Certification Information (NCSCI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST), distributes these proposed foreign technical regulations to U.S. stakeholders via an online service, Notify U.S. Notify U.S. is an e-mail and Web service that allows interested U.S. parties to register, obtain notifications, and read full texts of regulations from countries and for industry sectors of interest to them. To register for Notify U.S., please go to Internet URL: http://www.nist.gov/notifyus/ and click on “Subscribe”. NCSCI is the WTO TBT Inquiry Point for the U.S. and receives all notifications and full texts of regulations to disseminate to U.S. Industry.
