Hearing Aids with a Speech-like Signal (a nationally adopted interna-
tional standard) (reaffirmation of ANSI/ASA S3.42-2012/Part 2/IEC
60118-15:2012)
Describes a recommended speech-like test signal, the International Speech
Test Signal (ISTS), and a method for the characterization of hearing
aids using this signal with the hearing aid set to actual user settings or
to the manufacturers’ recommended settings for one of a range of audio-
grams. For the purposes of this standard, the hearing aid is considered to
be a combination of the physical hearing aid and the fitting software
which accompanies it. (October 23, 2017)

in new or revised American National Standards. This information is a
key element in planning and coordinating American National Standards.
The following is a list of proposed new American National Standards or
revisions to existing American National Standards that have been
received from ANSI-accredited standards developers that utilize the peri-
odic maintenance option in connection with their standards. Directly and
materially affected interests wishing to receive more information should
contact the standards developer directly.

Cylindrical Bore and Outside Surface (identical national adoption of ISO
15242-3-2017 and revision of ANSI/ABMA/ISO 15242-3-2012)
This part of ISO 15242 serves to define the detailed method for assessing
vibration of radial spherical and tapered roller bearings with cylindrical
bore and outside surface on a test rig. Project Need: To keep U.S. stan-
dard current with latest international standard. Stakeholders: Producers
and users of rolling bearings.
BSR/ABMA/ISO 15242-4-201x, Rolling Bearings—Measuring Methods
for Vibration—Part 4: Radial Cylindrical Roller Bearings with
Cylindrical Bore and Outside Surface (identical national adoption of
ISO 15242-4:2017 and revision of ANSI ABMA/ISO 15242-4-2012)
Specifies vibration measuring methods for single-row and double-row
radial cylindrical roller bearings, under established test conditions. It
covers single-row and double-row radial cylindrical roller bearings with
cylindrical bore and outside surface. Project Need: To keep the U.S.
standard current with the international standard. Stakeholders: Producers
and users of rolling bearings.
ANS (American Nuclear Society)
BSR/ANS 2.27-201x, Criteria for Investigations of Nuclear Facility Sites for
Seismic Hazard Assessments (revision of ANSI/ANS 2.27-2008 (R2016))
This standard provides requirements and recommended practices for con-
ducting investigations and acquiring data sets needed to characterize seis-
mic sources for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis of both vibratory
ground motion and permanent tectonic surface deformation. The data sets
provide information for site response and soil structure interaction (SSI)
effects needed for design of nuclear facilities. The data sets are also used
to evaluate other seismically induced ground failure hazards (e.g., lique-
faction, ground settlement, slope failure). Project Need: This standard was
recently cited and used with only minor modification in the development
of a new standard, ANSI/ANS-2.30-2015, Criteria for Assessing Tectonic
Surface Fault Rupture and Deformation at Nuclear Facilities. The ANSI/
ANS-2.27-2008 standard is a companion standard to ANSI/ANS-2.29-
2008, which is currently undergoing extensive revision. A revision to
ANSI/ANS-2.27-2008 is needed to ensure consistency with revisions to
ANSI/ANS-2.29-2008 and new standard ANSI/ANS-2.30-2015 and to
ensure that the standard reflects current concepts and methodologies, and
lessons learned over the past 5-8 years (i.e., to ensure standard is current
with evolving standard of practice). Stakeholders: National and interna-
tional owners of nuclear facilities including nuclear power plants, and
other high risk and critical facilities, regulators, government organizations
and their contractors, designers and support analysis subcontractors.
