Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 209 / Friday, October 29, 2010 / Notices
Notice and request for
comments.
ACTION:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) is
soliciting public comment on a
proposed revision to Voluntary Product
Standard (PS) 2–04, Performance
Standard for Wood-Based StructuralUse Panels. This revised standard, PS 2–
10, was prepared by the Standing
Committee for PS 2 and establishes
requirements, for those who choose to
adhere to the standard, for the structural
criteria to assess the acceptability of
wood-based structural-use panels for
construction sheathing and single-floor
applications. It also provides a basis for
common understanding among the
producers, distributors, and the users of
these products. Interested parties are
invited to review the proposed standard
and submit comments to NIST.
DATES: Written comments regarding the
proposed revision, should be submitted
to the Standards Services Division,
NIST, no later than November 29, 2010.
ADDRESSES: An electronic copy (an
Adobe Acrobat File) of the proposed
standard, PS 2–10, can be obtained at
the following Web site: https://
gsi.nist.gov/global/index.cfm/L1-5/l244/A-355. This site also includes an
electronic copy of PS 2–04 (the existing
standard) and a summary of significant
changes. Written comments on the
proposed revision should be submitted
to David F. Alderman, Standards
Services Division, NIST, 100 Bureau
Drive, Stop 2150, Gaithersburg, MD
20899–2150. Electronic comments may
be submitted to
david.alderman@nist.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David F. Alderman, Standards Services
Division, National Institute of Standards
and Technology, telephone (301) 975–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed
Voluntary Product Standard PS 2–10
establishes structural criteria for
assessing the acceptability of woodbased structural-use panels for
construction sheathing and single-floor
application, and provides a basis for
common understanding among the
producers, distributors, and the users of
these products. After conducting a
review of the current standard, PS 2–04,
the Standing Committee for PS 2
determined that updates were needed to
reflect current industry practices, and
developed this proposal through
meetings to review the standard and
propose needed changes. The proposed
standard does not address nonstructural issues such as resistance to

biological agents. Applications for
structural plywood other than
construction sheathing and single-floor
sheathing may require additional
engineering considerations that are not
covered by this document.
The proposed revision of the standard
has been developed and is being
processed in accordance with
Department of Commerce provisions in
Title 15 of the U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations, part 10, Procedures for the
Development of Voluntary Product
Standards, as amended (published June
20, 1986). The Standing Committee for
PS 2 is responsible for maintaining,
revising, and interpreting the standard,
and is comprised of producers,
distributors, users, and others with an
interest in the standard. Committee
members voted on the revision, which
was approved unanimously. The
Committee then submitted a report to
NIST along with the voting results and
the draft revised standard. NIST has
determined that the revised standard
should be issued for public comment.
The revision includes the following
changes:
• Panel thickness: In order to resolve
the inconsistency with NIST standards
used by ‘‘weights and measures’’
regulators, PS 2 will require labeling
with both a ‘‘Performance Category,’’
which is a fractional label such as 15/
32, and a decimal thickness declaration,
such as ‘‘THICKNESS 0.438 IN.’’ The
Performance Category will maintain
consistency with the panel thickness
specifications required in the U.S.
model codes. The Performance Category
panel labeling will permit the
abbreviations ‘‘PERF CAT,’’ ‘‘CAT’’ or
‘‘Category.’’ The decimal thickness
declaration will help assure that panels
are compliant with weights and
measures regulations.
• Two nonmandatory appendices
were added to provide guidance on
NIST Handbook 130 ‘‘Packaging and
Labeling Regulations,’’ and to provide
suggested thickness labeling.
• Nonmandatory appendices on
attributes related to Green Building and
Formaldehyde were added.
• A nonmandatory appendix on the
history of PS 2 was added.
• The moisture content specifications
for the ‘‘dry,’’ ‘‘wet/redry’’ and ‘‘wet’’ test
conditions were clarified in various
sections of the standard.
• The tables containing performance
requirements were modified to provide
clarity and references to the sections of
the standard that provide the test
methods and pass/fail criteria used
during the qualification process.
• The original fastener holding
requirements for sheathing were based
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

on thin plywood panels made with
Group 4 species. Those panels are not
representative of current sheathing
panels. In addition, some U.S. model
code requirements for wall sheathing
were made more stringent, such that the
existing nail holding requirements may
not justify certain wind load conditions.
Therefore, a test program to characterize
the nail holding properties of current
production was conducted by two
testing agencies. Based on those test
results, some requirements for nail
holding performance of sheathing were
increased.
All public comments will be reviewed
and considered. The Standing
Committee for PS 2 and NIST will revise
the standard accordingly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background Information: The
Technology Innovation Program (TIP) at
the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) was established for
the purpose of assisting U.S. businesses
and institutions of higher education or
other organizations, such as national
laboratories and nonprofit research
institutions, to support, promote, and
accelerate innovation in the United
States through high-risk, high-reward
research in areas of critical national
need. The TIP statutory authority is
Section 3012 of the America Creating
Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote
Excellence in Technology, Education,
and Science (COMPETES) Act, Public
Law 110–69 (August 9, 2007), codified
at 15 U.S.C. 278n. The TIP
implementing regulations are published
at 15 CFR Part 296. TIP holds
competitions for funding based on
addressing areas of critical national
need. TIP identifies and selects topics
for areas of critical national need based
on input from within NIST, the TIP
Advisory Board, the science and
technology communities, and from the
public. TIP is interested in receiving
input on the identification and
definition of problems that are
sufficiently large in magnitude that they
have the potential to inhibit the growth
and well-being of our nation today.
This announcement explains the
process for submitting comments on TIP
white papers. Comments on white
papers from experts in other Federal
agencies are also valued and welcome,
and will enable TIP to complement the
efforts of other mission agencies and
avoid duplication of their efforts,
thereby leveraging resources to benefit
the nation. The key concepts
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
enumerated below are the foundation of
TIP and should assist all commenters in
providing input that will help TIP
develop and refine an effective white
paper:
a. An area of critical national need
means an area that justifies government
attention because the magnitude of the
problem is large and the associated
societal challenges that need to be
overcome are not being addressed, but
could be addressed through high-risk,
high-reward research.
b. A societal challenge is a problem or
issue confronted by society that when
not addressed could negatively affect
the overall function and quality of life
of the nation, and as such, justifies
government attention. A societal
challenge is associated with barriers
preventing the successful development
of solutions to the area of critical
national need. TIP’s purpose is to
provide funding that will enable U.S.
businesses and institutions of higher
education or other organizations, such
as national laboratories and nonprofit
research institutions, to tackle technical
issues that can be addressed through
high-risk, high-reward research. The
results of the high-risk, high-reward
research should have the potential for
transformational results.
c. A transformational result is a
potential project outcome that enables
disruptive changes over and above
current methods and strategies.
Transformational results have the
potential to radically improve our
understanding of systems and
technologies, challenging the status quo
of research approaches and
applications.
