The ASTM waste management bibliography provides best practice guidance to local governments — and the education communities within them — who are responsible for the wastes they generate. Titles in this domain are relatively stable.
No meetings of the parent committee D34 Waste Management are known. To the best of our knowledge no exposure drafts have been released for public consultation.
The pandemic has impeded the business of most standards development enterprises in the United States it is wise to run a periodic status check. As with all ANSI accredited standards developers, user-interest participation is always welcomed. Contact Brian Milewski ([email protected]) for more complete information about how to do that.

We have followed Financial Accounting Standards Board catalog of best practice titles for several years now. The FASB has a solid standards development enterprise that gets picked up in our algorithm and, for the moment, we simply pass along its live public consultation notices to the education community. Administrative burden is often cited as an explanation for the rising costs of education so, to that extent, we have an interest in the FASB and GASB best practice literature.
From the project prospectus:
The Conceptual Framework establishes the concepts that underlie financial reporting. The Conceptual Framework is a coherent system of concepts that flow from the objective of financial reporting. The concepts address the selection of transactions, events, and circumstances to be represented and of items that meet the definitions of elements of financial statements; how those items should be recognized, measured, and disclosed; and how they should be summarized and presented in financial statements.
You will be asked to conform to FASB’s requirements for public comment.
We encourage user-interests in the administrative branches of educational organizations to collaborate directly with the FASB and its related unit, the Government Accounting Standards Board. The user-interest in academia may be a grant seeking enterprise, or a research project that must undergo periodic audits. It seems likely that FASB/GASB products ought to be part of an academic curriculum.
We maintain the FASB/GASB bibliography on the standing agenda of our periodic Finance teleconferences. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting.
We are proposing to amend the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) regulations governing research facilities by removing duplicative and unnecessary information requirements. We would remove the requirement that registered research facilities update their registration information every 3 years. We also propose to remove the requirement for continual, but not less than annual, review of research animal use activities and replace it with a requirement for a complete review at least every 3 years, and to no longer require that research facilities request an inactive status if they no longer use, handle, or transport AWA covered animals. In addition, we propose to clarify the duration of a registration and conditions for its cancellation, and to no longer require that the Institutional Official or Chief Executive Officer sign the annual report. We would also make miscellaneous changes to improve readability. The changes we propose would reduce duplicative requirements and administrative burden on research facilities, maintain research integrity and oversight, and ensure that research animals continue to receive humane care.
