Subject:	ANSI Announcement of Administrative Withdrawal of ANSI/NISO 
Z39.82-2001 in Standards Action: 9/9/2011

TO: National Information Standards Organization 
 
SUBJECT: Administrative Withdrawal of 10 year overage standard: 
ANSI/NISO Z39.82-2001, Title Pages of Conference Proceedings in Standards Action: 9/9/2011 
 
According to ANSI's records this standard expires on: 1/8/2011 
 
The referenced standard will be announced in Standards Action as administratively withdrawn due to overage in 
accordance with clause 4.2.1.3.1  Administrative withdrawal, and clause 4.7.1  Periodic maintenance of American 
National Standards of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due process requirements for American National 
Standards. 
 
4.2.1.3.1  Administrative withdrawal reads: 
An American National Standard shall be withdrawn five years following approval, if the standard has not been 
revised or reaffirmed, unless an extension has been granted by the ExSC or its designee. An American National 
Standard that has not been reaffirmed or revised within the five-year period, and that has been recommended for 
withdrawal by the ExSC or its designee, shall be withdrawn at the close of a 30-day public review notice in 
Standards Action.  American National Standards that have not been revised or reaffirmed within ten years from the 
date of their approval as American National Standards shall be withdrawn and such action shall be announced in 
Standards Action. 
 
4.7.1  Periodic maintenance of American National Standards in part reads: 
No extension of time beyond ten years from the date of approval shall be granted for action on a standard.  In no 
case shall a standard maintain its status as a current American National Standard beyond ten years from the date 
of approval.  Such approval automatically expires on the tenth anniversary date of approval as an American 
National Standard. 
In the event that an American National Standard approved by a standards developer who has been granted 
authority to designate its standards as American National Standards is not reaffirmed, revised, or withdrawn within 
five years after its approval, the standards developer shall follow its own procedures to ensure that work is 
proceeding and shall notify the Institute and provide the estimated time of completion. In no case shall a standard 
maintain its status as a current American National Standard beyond ten years from the date of approval.  Such 
approval automatically expires on the tenth anniversary date of approval as an American National Standard. 
 
This administrative withdrawal does not invalidate the ongoing revision or reaffirmation activity that may be 
currently underway.  If the pending action on this standard cannot conclude by the standard's tenth anniversary 
date of its approval as an American National Standard (ANS), then the effect is that the standard shall be 
administratively withdrawn.  Should the standard be submitted for approval as an ANS after it has been 
administratively withdrawn, it shall be submitted and approved as a "new" American National Standard, and not a 
revision to or reaffirmation of an existing American National Standard. 
 
If you believe that our records are in error and the standard listed have not passed their 10th anniversary of 
approval as an ANS, please contact the PSA Department immediately at psa@ansi.org or at 212-642-4908. 
 
Thank you.
