The ADVISORY COMMISSION ON TEXTBOOK SPECIFICATIONS (ACTS) is compromised of three participating Associations: National Association of State Textbook Administrators (NASTA), Book Manufacturers' Institute (BMI), and Association of American Publishers (AAP). The purpose of this Commission is to conduct studies and research programs and tests to determine durability and other pertinent performance factors of elementary and high school textbooks; to develop and recommend standards and specifications on manufacturing processes and materials for such textbooks in order to maintain appropriate standards of quality and performance. There are eighteen (18) voting members of this Commission, six being appointed by each of the three associations.
