The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International (APCO) has released for public review a draft of its standard APCO 1.113.1 Incident Handling Process. From the project prospectus:
The standard will take the call-handling process from its root. Starting with the call-delivery mechanism of the equipment, which can affect the call handling initiation, it will continue to the actual triage of the call to its dissemination. The goal is to bring the call-handling process into full circle from the initiation of the call through the caller triage and finally into the dissemination of information. This will include the continued support of responders through the dissemination portion.
Comments are due September 3rd. You will find more information about the document and APCO’s public commenting process at the link below:
You may obtain an electronic copy from: apcostandards@apcointl.org. You may send your comments to that email address with copy to psa@ansi.org. All APCO standards are on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Agenda teleconference — every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern time.

Many design guidelines, construction, and facility management service contracts continue to reference the IEEE Color Books as the standard of care for industrial and commercial power systems even though the Color Books are being sunsetted and replaced by the IEEE 3000 Standards Collection™. This needs to change. Technical content that used to reside within articulated chapters in the Color Books is now being updated and spun off (by IEEE industrial and commercial power system engineers) into smaller, faster-moving consensus documents; similar to the consensus documents produced by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
Several “dot standards” with candidate revisions are now open for public review[1]; among them IEEE 3006.3 Recommended Practice for Determining the Impact of Preventative Maintenance on the Reliability of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems. This recommended practice describes how to determine the impact of preventive maintenance on the reliability of industrial and commercial power systems. It is likely to be of greatest value to the power-oriented engineer with limited experience in the area of reliability. It can also be an aid to all engineers responsible for the electrical design of industrial and commercial power systems.
IEEE 3006.3 is among several other dot standards that are now open for public review: ANSI Standards Action | PDF Pages 13-18. We focus on power system maintenance ahead of the 2018 football season because the safety and success of these events depends upon reliable power; and reliable power depends upon appropriate maintenance.
Comments are due October 16, 2018. There are several ways to participate in the revision process.
All IEEE standards are on the standing agenda of the Standards Michigan Open Agenda teleconference — every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern time. Login information is available at the top-right of our home page.

The Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI) seeks to be the global leader in architectural woodwork standards and related interior finishes. It has released a redline for public review and comment its standard AWI 0620 Finish Carpentry/Installation. AWI 0620 is written to provide comprehensive guidelines for the installation and finishing of architectural woodwork and related interior products. This standard should be important to the largest non-residential building construction market in the United States.
Comments are due August 20th. You may obtain an electronic copy from: agoodin@awinet.org. Send your comments to the same email address (with copy to psa@ansi.org). All consensus standards involving the architectural trades are on the agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconference — every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern time (CLICK HERE to log in). Additionally, we have set aside an hour per month to run through all consensus documents that are referenced in typical design, construction, operations & maintenance contracts. The next teleconference is scheduled for July 23rd, 11 AM Eastern time, as described in the link below:
