S. 1225: Standardization of Collegiate Oversight of Revenues and Expenditures Act

117th Congress Swearing In Floor Proceedings – January 3, 2021, House Chamber

Readings / Sport, Culture & Society

…”Sport is an extraordinarily important phenomenon that pervades the lives of many people and has enormous impact on society in an assortment of different ways. At its most fundamental level, sport has the power to bring people great joy and satisfy their competitive urges while at once allowing them to form bonds and a sense of community with others from diverse backgrounds and interests and various walks of life. Sport also makes clear, especially at the highest levels of competition, the lengths that people will go to achieve victory as well as how closely connected it is to business, education, politics, economics, religion, law, family, law, family, and other societal institutions. Sport is, moreover, partly about identity development and how individuals and groups, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity or socioeconomic class, have sought to elevate their status and realize material success and social mobility”….

Outdoor Power Equipment

The appearance of lawns and gardens contributes mightily to pleasant campus atmospherics that, in turn, supports the educational mission, philanthropic goals and brand identity. Playgrounds provide the opportunity for children to practice skills that will ultimately play a role in adult competencies such as the ability to collaborate with others, develop decision making skills, and successfully take on leadership roles, persevere in the face of distractions, and generate creative ideas. Many colleges and universities have botanical gardens that are open for instruction and public enjoyment.

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) is one of the first names in standards setting in this domain. The landing page for its standards-setting enterprise is linked below:

OPEI Standards Listing

Note that OPEI develops its suite according to the ANSI/NIST-ITL Canvass Method.*

OPEI has released the following title for public consultation:

OPEI B175.5-202X (N9) – (Standard) for Outdoor Power Equipment et. al

Canvass Committee response to the first draft is linked below:

OPEI B175.5 Canvass Summary

Comments are due July 23rd.

We encourage our colleagues in exterior grounds and landscaping units to participate directly as a User interest in the OPEI standards development process. OPEI Standards Staff Contacts are listed on the OPEI Standards landing page. Start with Greg Knott (gknott@opei.org)

Noteworthy: OPEI is also ANSI’s US Technical Advisory Group administrator and the Global Secretariat for ISO TC/23 Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry. This makes sense since the machinery manufacturing has long since been a global industry. The landing page for that committee is linked below:

Athletic Performance Properties of Indoor Sports Floor Systems

“Children’s Games” (1560) / Pieter Bruegel the Elder

ASTM International develops most of the consensus documents that establish the standard of care for sports and recreation equipment and facilities. ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment, Playing Surfaces, and Facilities has released a redline of its consensus product F2772 Specification for Athletic Performance Properties of Indoor Sports Floor Systems. Public announcement of the commenting opportunity appears in the link below:

ANSI Standards Action Page 10

~~Comments are due December 23rd.~~

ASTM International has its own way of posting exposure drafts for public comment; typically in very large batches compared with other consensus product developers present in our algorithm. Its due process procedures depend heavily on face-to-face meetings twice every year; usually the root cause of why so many are released at once. Any stakeholder is permitted free access to the exposure drafts during the comment period but very often the sheer number of exposure drafts prohibit complete participation. On the other hand, ASTM International has a lengthy catalog of consensus products in nearly every sector of the US economy, with hundreds of technical committees, so the large drops of redlines open for public comment reflect that.

Also, it may well be that F2772 is a relatively stable product such that proposed changes are minor enough that the redline does not require a lengthy commenting period. Usually major technical changes are dealt with farther upstream the standards development process; even before the semi-annual committee meetings.

You may obtain an electronic copy by communicating directly with cleonard@astm.org. Send your comments to Laura Klineburger, (610) 832-9744, accreditation@astm.org with a copy to psa@ansi.org

For more information about how to participate (i.e. travel to the meetings, present data to technical committee members, draft new proposals, review the redlines prepared by others, click into a committee teleconference, submit a ballot, etc.) you may communicate directly with ASTM F08 Staff Manager: Joe Koury (jkoury@astm.org) at 610-832-9804

We include this standard on the agenda of our monthly Athletic & Recreation facility teleconference; open to everyone. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting
