Joint Committee Issue Document

Joint Committee Issue Document NOTE: An issue document may be submitted at any time it comprises two parts: the cover sheet (this page) and a description of the issue to be submitted to the Joint Committee (following page). A separate issue form is required for each issue submitted. Issue papers include proposals for modification of a standard, information reports and (of current research, etc.). An issue paper shall be categorized as being for ACTION or for INFORMATION. Submitters should limit the Issue Paper to 1 or 2 pages attachments detailing full recommendations or background information may be attached with supplementary information. The Chairperson of the appropriate Joint Committee will respond within 30 days of receipt of the issue document advising what steps will be taken. Any issue document intended for discussion at a Joint Committee meeting must be received at least 21 days prior to the meeting to ensure inclusion in the agenda.

Please insert a check (X) in the appropriate place to indicate if you wish the item to be considered as an action item or as an information item. Action X Information NSF Standard(s) Impacted: NSF 61 Issue Statement: Provide a concise statement of the issue, which reference as appropriate any specific section(s) of the standard(s) that are related to the issue. Request to ballot additional material specific analyses for additional materials to NSF 61 Table 3.1. Also sort material names in alphabetical order. Background: Provide a brief background statement indicating the cause and nature of concern, the impacts identified relevant to public health, public understanding, etc, and any other reason why the issue should be considered by the Committee. NSF is proposing minimum test batteries for several additional materials to be added to NSF 61. Recommendation: If action by the Joint Committee is being requested, clearly state what action is needed: e.g., recommended changes to the standard(s) including the current text of the relevant section(s) indicating deletions by use of strike-out and additions by highlighting or underlining; e.g., reference of the issue to a Task Force for detailed consideration; etc. If recommended text changes are more than a half page, please attach a separate document.
