AUTHORITY: The provisions of this Part 230 Issued under sec. 9, 31 Stat. 1450, as amended; 15 U.S.C. 277. Interprets and applies sec. 7, 70 Stat. 959; 15 U.S.C. 275a.

SOURCE: The provisions of this Part 230 appear at 32 F.R. 21017, Dec. 29, 1967.

Subpart A-General Information § 230.1 Introduction.

This part states the procedure for ordering standard reference materials issued by the National Bureau of Standards to calibrate a measurement system, or to produce scientific data that can be referred to a common base. NBS Miscel

laneous Publication 260, "Standard Reference Materials: Catalog and Price List of Standard Reference Materials Issued by the National Bureau of Standards" describes the standard reference materials and lists the fees charged for those materials.

§ 230.2 Identification of standards.

The standards are listed by groups; the numbers represent the issuance of the first representative sample of each kind. Renewals are indicated by the original number with an added letter to denote the relation. Thus, 11a is the first, 11b the second, 11c is the third renewal of No. 11 Basic Open-Hearth Steel, 0.2 percent carbon. In this way, a particular number always represents a material of fixed or approximately fixed composition. § 230.3 New standards.

When new standard reference materials or renewals of old ones are issued, announcement will be made in MP 260 and in scientific and trade journals.

Subpart B-Purchase Procedure § 230.4 Ordering.

Orders should be addressed to the Office of Standard Reference Materials,

National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. 20234, and should give the amount, number, and name of the standards requested. For example: 150 grams of No. 11g Basic Open-Hearth Steel, 0.2 percent C. The list of standard materials, their numbers, prices, and composition or intended use are given in MP 260. These materials are distributed only in the units listed.

§ 230.5 Terms and shipping.

(a) Domestic shipments. Shipments of material (other than hydrocarbons, organic sulfur compounds and radioactive standards) intended for the United States, Mexico, and Canada are normally shipped prepaid parcel post (providing that the parcel does not exceed the weight limits as prescribed by postal laws and regulations) unless the purchaser requests a different mode of shipment, in which case the shipment will be sent collect. It is impractical for the Bureau to prepay shipping charges and add this cost to the billing invoice. Hydrocarbons, organic sulfur compounds, rubber compounding materials, viscometer calibrating oils, and radioactive standards are shipped express collect. No discounts are given to NBS Standard Reference Materials.

(b) Foreign shipments. Small shipments will be forwarded as a U.S. Goyernment shipment via International Parcel Post, providing that the parcel does not exceed the weight limits as prescribed by postal laws and regulations to foreign countries. Shipments exceeding the parcel post weight limit must be handled through an agent (shipping or brokerage firm) located in the United States as designated by the purchaser. Parcels will be packed for overseas shipment and forwarded via express collect to the U.S. firm designated as agent.

(c) Payment for domestic orders. Invoices for standard reference materials to be used within the United States of America are mailed when shipment is made. Remittances, made payable to the National Bureau of Standards, are required within thirty (30) days of shipment. Prepaid orders are accepted at the prices current on the date of receipt of the order.

(d) Payment for foreign orders. Remittances in payment of foreign orders must be made payable to the National Bureau of Standards, and are required in

advance. These remittances are payable in dollars. Prices for the materials are those current at the date of receipt of the order.

§ 230.6 Standards out of stock.

The preparation of "renewals” is intended to be completed at the time each kind of material becomes exhausted, but owing to delays encountered in obtaining a proper grade of material, and for other reasons, this is not always possible. If orders are received for standard reference materials that are out of stock, notice will be mailed to that effect. The composition of a "renewal" will not usually be identical with that of its predecessor, but it will be quite similar, especially with regard to the characteristic constituent or constituents.

Subpart C-Description of Services and List of Fees

§ 230.7 Description of services and list of fees, incorporation by reference. (a) The text of the current edition of NBS Miscellaneous Publication 260, "Standard Reference Materials: Catalog and Price List of Standard Reference Materials Issued by the National Bureau of Standards" is hereby incorporated by reference pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a) (1) and 1 CFR Part 20. MP 260 states the authority under which the National Bureau of Standards offers standard reference materials, describes the standard reference materials which are available, states the procedure for ordering the materials, and lists the fees charged for the materials.

(b) MP 260 is available at the following places:

Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Office of Technical Information and Publications, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. 20234.

Field Offices of the Office of Field Services, Department of Commerce.

(c) Revisions, amendments, revocations, deletions, recodifications, redesignations, and corrections will be issued from time to time by the National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. 20234, in the form of replacement pages or insert sheets, and an official historic file will be maintained by the National Bureau of Standards. A form, included in MP 260, is provided for requesting replacement pages or insert sheets.

(a) The films listed in paragraph (c) of this section are available on loan from the National Bureau of Standards free of charge. The borrower, however, is required to pay return parcel post and insurance charges. Requests for the films should be directed to the Office of Technical Information and Publications, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C. 20234.

(b) Prints may be purchased by writing to the above address for "authorization to purchase" forms and instructions. Completed forms, upon approval by the National Bureau of Standards, authorize duplication of the film by a commercial firm who will ship the film and bill the purchaser direct.

(c) All films are 16mm sound and color.

this part, is defined as any container not in barrel form containing therein a net weight of lime of less than 180 pounds.

(b) The term "label" as used in the rules and regulations in this part is defined as any printed, pictorial, or other matter upon the surface of a barrel or other container of lime subject to the provisions of this act, or upon cloth or paper or the like which is permanently affixed to it by pasting or in a similar
