Department of Energy December 30, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces a meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Nevada. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 86 Stat. 770) requires that public notice of this meeting be announced in the Federal Register.

On June 23, 2015, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) to amend the test procedure for commercial prerinse spray valves. That proposed rulemaking serves as the basis for this final rule. Specifically, this final rule incorporates by reference relevant portions of the latest version of the industry testing standard from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard F2324-13, ``Standard Test Method for Prerinse Spray Valves,'' including the procedure for measuring spray force. This final rule also adopts a revised definition of ``commercial prerinse spray valve,'' clarifies the test procedure for products with multiple spray settings, establishes rounding requirements for flow rate and spray force measurements, and removes irrelevant portions of statistical methods for certification, compliance, and enforcement.
