The ANSI Board of Standards Review (BSR) stated that “Based on the SAIA’s Response, the BSR believes that the concerns documented in its May 31, 2019 appeals decision have been satisfied and that the original approval of the ANSI at issue, as revised, need not be withdrawn. Under separate cover, approval notices for the related revisions submitted under two separate BSR-9 forms will be issued and those who concluded the appeals process for those limited revisions, through ASC A92’s process, will be notified of the right to appeal the BSR’s decision to approve those revisions.” |
