Because of a computer error, ANSI/ASA S12.6-2008 was listed twice inthe Final Actions section of the September 12, 2008 issue of StandardsAction. The correct designation and title are: ANSI/ASA S12.6-2008,American National Standard Methods for Measuring the Real-EarAttenuation of Hearing Protectors. There is only one version of thisdocument.

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 Action entitled"American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standards maintainedunder the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and to search approvedANS, 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 developer directlywithin 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 registered standardsunder the Continuous Maintenance option.
