Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated to a national adoption is optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,see clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards.

Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in Standards Actionentitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standardsmaintained under the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to searchapproved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developerdirectly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

American National StandardsMaintained Under ContinuousMaintenanceThe ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements forAmerican National Standards provide two options for the maintenanceof American National Standards (ANS): periodic maintenance (seeclause 4.7.1) and continuous maintenance (see clause 4.7.2).Continuous maintenance is defined as follows:

The standard shall be maintained by an accredited standardsdeveloper. 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 statementof the intent to consider requests for change and information on thesubmittal of such requests. Procedures shall be established fortimely, documented consensus action on each request for changeand no portion of the standard shall be excluded from the revisionprocess. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of fouryears, action to reaffirm or withdraw the standard shall be taken inaccordance with the procedures contained in the ANSI EssentialRequirements.The Executive Standards Council (ExSC) has determined that forstandards maintained under the Continuous Maintenance option,separate PINS announcements are not required. The following ANSIAccredited Standards Developers have formally registeredstandards under the Continuous Maintenance option.

New Pilot Accreditation Program Superior Energy Performance Application Deadline: December 21, 2009 The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is pleased to announce the launch of a new pilot accreditation program for certification bodies that will assess compliance with the U.S. Council on Energy-Efficient Manufacturing’s (U.S. CEEM) Superior Energy Performance (SEP) initiative. The objective of the SEP (Superior Energy Performance) is to provide industrial plants with a road map for achieving continual improvement in energy efficiency while maintaining competitiveness. This pilot program will focus on accrediting certification bodies in accordance with ANSI and SEP requirements. Certification bodies seeking ANSI accreditation under the new program must demonstrate compliance with:

- GHG-PL-702: Manual of Operations for the Accreditation of Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification bodies

- ISO 14065:2007, Greenhouse gases - Requirements for greenhouse gas validation and verification bodies;

- IAF Mandatory Document for the Application of ISO 14065: 2007

- ISO/IEC Guide 65, General requirements for bodies operating product certification systems (Clause 14 ONLY - Use of licenses, certificates and marks of conformance)

- Measurement and Verification Protocol for Superior Energy Performance; and

- ANSI/MSE 2000:2008 Management System for Energy

Note 1: At the present time, certification bodies interested in applying for the pilot SEP program are requested to use GHG-PL-702, ISO 14065:2007, IAF Mandatory Document and the others listed above. ANSI staff will soon develop a cross reference that will replace the terms, Greenhouse Gas Validation and Verification Bodies, and include the specific terminology used by the SEP Program.

ANSI will accept applications for the pilot program from November 20 through December 21, 2009. To obtain an application, contact Reinaldo Figueiredo ([email protected]; 202-331-3611) or Ann Bowles ([email protected]; 202-331-3620). Additional background information on the U.S. CEEM/SEP is available here: http://www.superiorenergyperformance.net/aboutus.html.
