is the US Fortran standards committee, a technical subcommittee of the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) formerly known as the National Committee for Information Technology Standards (NCITS). J3 developed the Fortran 66, Fortran 77, Fortran 90, Fortran 95 and Fortran 2003 standards. Fortran 2003, published 18 November 2004, is an upwardly-compatible extension of Fortran 95, adding, among other things, support for exception handling, object-oriented programming, and improved interoperability with the C language. Working closely with ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC22/WG5 (see "WG5"), the international Fortran standards committee, J3 is the primary development body for Fortran 2008. Fortran 2008 is planned to be a minor revision of Fortran 2003. The work plan and schedule are available.

J3 meetings, documents, and membership are open to anyone worldwide. Meeting information and documents are available from this website; membership information may be obtained from any committee member. Any interested party can submit a paper for consideration at a J3 meeting by following the J3 committee guidelines.
