; and (ii) that continues to create and update standards in a timely manner to— (I) account for technological advances; (II) address new threats to public health and safety; and (III) improve the usefulness of those standards; and (B) the provision of access that allows people to read technical and voluntary consensus standards that are incorporated by reference into laws and regulations. (11) As of the date of enactment of this Act, many standards development organizations make their standards available to the public free of charge online in a manner that does not substantially disrupt the ability of those organizations to earn revenue from the industries and professionals that purchase copies and subscription-access to those standards (such as through read-only access), which ensures that the public may read the current, accurate version of such a standard without significantly interfering with the revenue model that has long supported those organizations and their creation of, and investment in, new standards. (12) Through this Act, and the amendments made by this Act, Congress intends to balance the goals of furthering the creation of standards and ensuring public access to standards that are incorporated by reference into law or regulation. 3.
