Yes, the section George was suggesting was relevant (at least to the ATM
Forum, and maybe to the IETF) is 273, d, 4.
Presumably the "Manufacturing" in the section title was not deemed to be
sufficient.  

The other pointer he gave me was to the announement of the proposed
rule-making.  This was reportedly announced in the March 5th Federal Register
(with a comment due date of April 2nd), item 96-87.

I sure hope that this clause does not apply to us, or that our procedures
would supercede it, but that is not exactly clear.

Thank you,
