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.
