May 8, 2017 10:30am to 11:00am, Las Vegas

John Scott, LyondellBasell Industries, Study group Chair

Study Group Agenda:

Discuss Study Group approach

 Reaffirm?

 Minor changes?

 Need Master Editor?

Meeting Notes:

Discussed the know issues with the current document to determine the pathforward. There are currently no score card issues other than a note to recheck the new material added related in the last edition related to LPG tanks. The following items were discussed as areas needing improvement:

 Tank floor chime sealing issue

 Normative references

 Definition consistency/Acronyms

 Refrigerated tank score card item

 Should/shall review

 Sync with 653 minor changes

This list preliminary list was deemed sufficient to require a Task Group and Mater Editor to update the document.

It was required that we have an SCAST Vice Chair – Nelson Acosta volunteered.

An SR3 form has been submitted for Master Editor (post meeting)

Pathforward for next meeting in Dallas:

1. Hope to have a Master Editor assigned by then

2. Will request input for more specific score card items from SCI and SCAST

3. Will Schedule a Task group meeting at the fall meeting in Dallas to begin pulling together issues for the Master Editor to work on
