SUMMARY: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is
reopening the deadline for submitting entries and for resubmitting

Competition from March 20, 2017, to April 9, 2017. All entries
submitted between December 19, 2016, and April 9, 2017, will be deemed
timely and will be given full consideration. If, however, a person

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 2016, the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the Reusable Abstractions
of Manufacturing Processes (RAMP) Challenge, with support from ASTM
International, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Manufacturing Science and
Engineering Conference (MSEC) Organizing Committee (81 FR 91912). The
purpose of the RAMP Challenge is to familiarize the community with a
recent standard for modeling manufacturing processes that was developed
under the ASTM's E60.13 Subcommittee on Sustainable Manufacturing. The
RAMP Challenge calls on participants (either as an individual or as a
team) to model any manufacturing process and demonstrate application of
the ASTM E3012-16 Unit Manufacturing Process (UMP) representation for
purposes of information sharing and sustainability assessment. That
announcement may be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2016-30437.
NIST is reopening the deadline for submitting entries and for
resubmitting entries to the RAMP Competition from March 20, 2017, to
April 9, 2017. All entries submitted between December 19, 2016, and
April 9, 2017, will be deemed timely and will be given full
consideration. If, however, a person wishes to resubmit their entry,
they may do so until the new deadline of April 9, 2017, and the new
submission will replace the original submission. Entries submitted
after the revised submission deadline of April 9, 2017, will not be
reviewed or considered for the award.
