Commission disclosing (1) the name and principal place of business of 
the standards development organization and (2) the nature and scope of 
its standards development activities. The notifications were filed for 
the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of

    Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the name and principal place 
of business of the standards development organization is: Electrical 
Apparatus Service Association, Inc., St. Louis, MO. The nature and 
scope of EASA's standards development activities are: EASA publishes 
Recommended Practice for the Repair of Rotating Electrical Apparatus. 
This document describes recordkeeping, tests, analysis, and general 
guidelines for the repair of rotating electrical apparatus, including 
generators and motors. The purpose of EASA documents is to establish 
requirements in each step of electrical apparatus rewinding and 
rebuilding. They are not intended to take the place of the customer's 
or the machine manufacturer's specific instructions or specifications. 
EASA standards-related documents are intended to aid in assuring the 
continued reliability of electrical apparatus, by providing good work 
practice guidance. Further, they are intended as guides for maintaining 
the energy efficiency of rewound and rebuilt electrical apparatus. The 
scope of EASA's standards activities differs from that of IEEE, NEMA, 
and NFPA. It is the intention of EASA to continue to reference IEEE, 
NEMA, and NFPA standards where they apply to a document.
