The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) is
soliciting public comment on a
proposed revision to Voluntary Product
Standard (PS) 2–10, Performance
Standard for Wood-Based StructuralUse Panels. The standard, prepared by
the Standing Committee for PS 2,
establishes requirements for those who
choose to adhere to the standard, for the
structural criteria to assess the
acceptability of wood-based structuraluse panels for construction sheathing
and single-floor applications. It also
provides a basis for common
understanding among the producers,
distributors, and the users of these
products. Interested parties are invited
to review the proposed standard and
submit comments to NIST.
DATES: Written comments regarding the
proposed revision to PS 2–10 should be
submitted to the Standards Services
Division, NIST, no later than December
14, 2018.
ADDRESSES: An electronic copy (an
Adobe Acrobat File) of the proposed
revision to the standard, PS 2–10, can be
obtained at the following website:
https://www.nist.gov/standardsgov/
voluntary-product-standards-program.
This site also includes an electronic
copy of PS 2–10 (the existing standard)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed revision of the standard has
been developed and is being processed
in accordance with Department of
Commerce provisions in 15 CFR part 10,
Procedures for the Development of
Voluntary Product Standards, as
amended (published June 20, 1986). The
Standing Committee for PS 2 is
responsible for maintaining, revising,
and interpreting the standard, and is
comprised of producers, distributors,
users, and others with an interest in the
standard. Committee members voted on
the revision, which was approved
unanimously. The Committee then
submitted a report to NIST along with
the voting results and the draft revised
standard. NIST has determined that the
revised standard should be issued for
public comment.
Voluntary Product Standard PS 2–10
establishes structural criteria for
assessing the acceptability of woodbased structural-use panels for
construction sheathing and single-floor
application and provides a basis for
common understanding among the
producers, distributors, and the users of
these products. After conducting a
review of the current standard, PS 2–10,
the Standing Committee for PS 2
determined that updates were needed to
reflect current industry practices and
developed the proposed revision to the
standard through meetings to review the
standard and propose needed changes.
The proposed revision includes the
following changes: Change of title,
editorial corrections, new and revised
definitions, updated references, and
changes to Section 5 Requirements. A
complete list of proposed changes can
be found at https://www.nist.gov/
standardsgov/voluntary-productstandards-program. All public
comments will be reviewed and
considered.
Attachments will be accepted in plain

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below.
Title: Rules Relating to Review of
National Futures Association Decisions
in Disciplinary, Membership Denial,
Registration, and Member
Responsibility Actions (OMB Control
No. 3038–0043). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: 17 CFR part 171 require a
registered futures association to provide
fair and orderly procedures for
membership and disciplinary actions.
The Commission’s review of decisions
of registered futures associations in
disciplinary, membership denial,
registration, and member responsibility
actions is governed by Section 17(h)(2)
of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7
U.S.C. 21(h)(2). The rules establish
procedures and standards for
Commission review of such actions, and
the reporting requirements included in

the procedural rules are either directly
required by Section 17 of the
Commodity Exchange Act or are
necessary to the type of appellate review
role Congress intended the Commission
to undertake when it adopted that
provision. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for the
CFTC’s regulations were published on
December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035
(Dec. 30, 1981).
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
All comments must be submitted in
English, or if not, accompanied by an
English translation. Comments will be
posted as received to http://
www.cftc.gov. You should submit only
information that you wish to make
available publicly. If you wish the
Commission to consider information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for
confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.1
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from http://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the ICR will be retained in
the public comment file and will be
considered as required under the
Administrative Procedure Act and other

applicable laws, and may be accessible
under the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The respondent
