EVF—Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems EVF–24.1. S.1.3. Mobile Device as Indicating Element for AC Chargers. The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by Siemens Industry Inc.’s Smart Infrastructure eMobility; it is intended to clarify that use of a handheld mobile device such as a mobile phone to provide the Indicating Elements for an EVSE is an acceptable alternative to having the Indicating Elements built into the EVSE. This option is already accepted by the National Type Evaluation Program for certification. EVF–23.4. S.5.2. EVSE Identification and Marking Requirements, S.5.3. Abbreviations and Symbols, and N.5. Test of an EVSE System. The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by Power Measurements LLC that is intended to update the existing required tests in NIST HB 44 (Section 3.40. Electric Vehicle Fueling Systems) that are used to determine the accuracy of alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) systems. The proposal has a Developing status and would expand the number of test points over a specific range of operating conditions for the test of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) system. The S&T Committee has requested that stakeholders present an alternate proposal by exploring the option of combining the test procedures in this proposal with the test procedures and related terminology under consideration in EVF–23.7, a proposal submitted by Electrify America. EVF–23.6. S.5.2. EVSE Identification and Marking Requirements, and T.2. Tolerances. The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Electrify America, Tesla, EVGo, and Siemens. This proposal was revised by the S&T Committee after comments during the 2023 NCWM Interim and Annual Meetings, and it would amend NIST HB 44, Section 3.40, to allow DC systems placed in service prior to January 1, 2024, that are marked as a Class 5 device, to have an error of ± 5% through 2034. DC systems installed on or after January 1, 2024, would be required to comply with the current 1% (acceptance)/2% (maintenance) tolerance. LPG—Liquefied Petroleum Gas and Anhydrous Ammonia LiquidMeasuring Devices LPG–24.2. S.2.5. Zero-Set-Back Interlock. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Dec 26, 2023 Jkt 262001 The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by the National Propane Gas Association; it is intended to address practical issues that propane retailers encounter when trying to comply with the zero setback requirements for propane stationary meters in NIST HB 44. LPG–23.1. S.2.5. Zero-Set-Back Interlock. The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by the National Propane Gas Association and U-Haul International. The proposal has an Informational status and addresses issues that propane retailers encounter that do not have dispensers typically designed to be used to dispense retail motor fuel when trying to comply with zero-set-back interlock requirements in NIST HB 44 for electronic stationary and electronic vehicle-mounted propane meters and stationary retail motor-fuel devices used to dispense propane. The intent of the proposal is to exempt the required use of zero-set-back interlock mechanisms when a device is used in multiple applications to dispense liquefied petroleum gas as a vehicle motor-fuel and in filling containers/ cylinders for other than motor-fuel applications. OTH—Other Items OTH 16.1. Electric Watthour Meters Tentative Code. The S&T Committee will consider a proposal submitted by NIST, Office of Weights and Measures, which has an Informational status and is intended to make stakeholders aware of the work being done within the NIST U.S. National Work Group (USNWG) on Electric Vehicle Fueling and to develop proposed requirements for electric watthour meters used in submeter applications in residences and businesses (not intended to address utility metering under the authority of entities such as the local utility commission). NCWM L&R Committee The NCWM Laws and Regulations Committee (L&R Committee) will consider proposed amendments to NIST HB 133, including those identified below. A detailed technical review of the L&R Committee agenda items will be made available prior to the 2024 NCWM Interim Meeting in the 2024 NIST OWM Interim Analysis at https:// www.nist.gov/pml/owm/publications/ owm-technical-analysis. NET—NIST Handbook 133 NET–24.1. Novelties. PO 00000 Frm 00013 Section 3.11. Ice Cream Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The L&R Committee will consider a proposal submitted by the County of Los Angeles Department of Agriculture Commissioner/Weights and Measures to modify NIST HB 133, Section 3.11. Ice Cream Novelties. The proposal would, inter alia, provide technical guidance on the preparation and maintenance of ice water at the required temperature to test ice cream novelties. NET–24.2. Section 4.9. Procedure for Checking the Contents of Specific Agriculture Seed Packages Labeled by Count and Appendix D. AOSA Rules for Testing Seeds. The L&R Committee will consider a proposal submitted by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to align NIST HB 133, Section 4.9. Procedure for Checking the Contents of Specific Agriculture Seed Packages Labeled by Count and Appendix D. AOSA Rules for Testing Seeds with recent changes to Association of Official Seed Analyst (AOSA) Rules. This proposal would provide a standardized mechanical seed counter calibration procedure for all models of mechanical seed counters being used across the United States, to determine the number of seeds per pound and/or for the purpose of packaging seeds by count.
