announces the withdrawal of Voluntary Product Standard PS 73-89 Glass 
Bottles for Carbonated Soft Drinks. This action is taken in accordance 
with 10.13 of the Department of Commerce (Department) Procedures for

Product Standard developed under the Department procedures.

Services, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building 820, 
Room 164, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899, Tel.: 301-975-4025, Fax: 301-
926-1559.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST announced in the Federal Register (61 
FR 14555) on April 2, 1996, that it intended to withdraw Voluntary 
Product Standard PS 73-89 due to lack of a proponent organization or 
government agency to cover costs for administrative and technical 
support services provided by the Department, a requirement for 
Department sponsorship under section 10(b)(6) of the Procedures for the 
Development of Voluntary Product Standards (15 CFR Part 10). NIST 
received no oral or written objections to the withdrawal of PS 73-89 in 
response to the announcement and therefore determined that the standard 
be withdrawn.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272.

    Dated: August 21, 1996.

Associate Director.
