Bellcore document TR-NWT-000078, "Generic Physical Design Requirements 
     for telecommunications Products and Equipment", Issue 3, December 
     1991, is scheduled for technical revision and format update in 1996.  
     TR-NWT-000078 details the minimum generic physical design requirements 
     that are, on Bellcore's view, applicable for products and used in the 
     network of a typical Bellcore Client Company.  These requirements are 
     applicable to materials, finishes, connectors, wire and cable, printed 
     wiring boards and assemblies, equipment sub-assemblies and equipment 
     assembly.
     
     Bellcore invites all suppliers within the telecommunications equipment 
     manufacturing community and other industry members to participate in 
     this early industry interaction by providing nonproprietary technical 
     input related to the revision of the current document.
     
     It should be noted that Bellcore does not make procurement decisions 
     for any BCC.  Bellcore activities that involve industry interactions 
     in no way indicate a potential purchase or selection decision by any 
     BCC.
     
     If you are interested in participating in the revision of 
     TR-NWT-000078 please respond by May 15, 1996.
