PIX_TITLE MINA Summary of the NIST P.L.105-234 Fastener Quality Act Statutorily Required Study Comments. The study ended on November 30, 1998.

Of the 137 responses that NIST received:
38% favor repeal of the Fastener Quality Act.
66.4% favor changes to the Fastener Quality Act.*
5.1% favor implementation of the Fastener Quality Act.

*The reason for the total exceeding 100% is that some commentors favored repeal, or if that was not possible, then they would favor significant changes to the Fastener Quality Act.
