National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA): Request for Comments on
NFPA’s Codes and Standards
National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Since 1896, the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) has
accomplished its mission by advocating
scientifically based consensus codes
and standards, research, and education
for safety related issues. NFPA’s
National Fire Codes, which holds over
270 documents, are administered by
more than 225 Technical Committees
comprised of approximately 7,000
volunteers and are adopted and used
throughout the world. NFPA is a
nonprofit membership organization
with approximately 80,000 members
from over 70 nations, all working
together to fulfill the Association’s
mission.
The NFPA process provides ample
opportunity for public participation in
the development of its codes and
standards. All NFPA codes and
standards are revised and updated every
three to five years in Revision Cycles
that begin twice each year and that take
approximately two years to complete.
Each Revision Cycle proceeds according
to a published schedule that includes
final dates for all major events in the
process. The process contains five basic
steps that are followed both for
developing new documents as well as
revising existing documents. These
steps are: Calling for Proposals;
Publishing the Proposals in the Report
on Proposals; Calling for Comments on
the Committee’s disposition of the
Proposals and these Comments are
published in the Report on Comments;
having a Technical Report Session at the
NFPA Annual Meeting; and finally, the
Standards Council Consideration and
Issuance of documents.
Note: Under new rules effective Fall 2005,
anyone wishing to make Amending Motions

rules and for up-to-date information on
schedules and deadlines for processing
NFPA Documents, check the NFPA Web
site at https://www.nfpa.org or contact
NFPA Codes and Standards
Administration.
The purpose of this notice is to
request comments on the technical
reports that will be published in the
NFPA’s 2009 Fall Revision Cycle. The
publication of this notice by the
National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) on behalf of NFPA is
being undertaken as a public service;
NIST does not necessarily endorse,
approve, or recommend any of the
standards referenced in the notice.
DATES: Sixty reports are published in
the 2009 Fall Revision Cycle Report on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) develops building,
fire, and electrical safety codes and
standards. Federal agencies frequently
use these codes and standards as the
basis for developing Federal regulations
concerning safety. Often, the Office of
the Federal Register approves the
incorporation by reference of these
standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1
CFR Part 51.

SUMMARY: The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) proposes to revise
some of its safety codes and standards
and requests proposals from the public
to amend existing or begin the process
of developing new NFPA safety codes
and standards. The purpose of this
request is to increase public
participation in the system used by
NFPA to develop its codes and
standards. The publication of this notice
of request for proposals by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) on behalf of NFPA is being
undertaken as a public service; NIST
does not necessarily endorse, approve,
or recommend any of the standards
referenced in the notice.
The NFPA process provides ample
opportunity for public participation in
the development of its codes and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) develops building,
fire, and electrical safety codes and
standards. Federal agencies frequently
use these codes and standards as the
basis for developing Federal regulations
concerning safety. Often, the Office of
the Federal Register approves the
incorporation by reference of these
standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1
CFR Part 51.
When a Technical Committee begins
the development of a new or revised
NFPA code or standard, it enters one of
two Revision Cycles available each year.
The Revision Cycle begins with the Call
for Proposals, that is, a public notice
asking for any interested persons to
submit specific written proposals for
developing or revising the Document.
The Call for Proposals is published in a
variety of publications. Interested
parties have approximately twenty
weeks to respond to the Call for
Proposals.
Following the Call for Proposals
period, the Technical Committee holds
a meeting to consider and accept, reject
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
or revise, in whole or in part, all the
submitted Proposals. The committee
may also develop its own Proposals. A
document known as the Report on
Proposals, or ROP, is prepared
containing all the Public Proposals, the
Technical Committee’s action and each
Proposal, as well as all Committeegenerated Proposals. The ROP is then
submitted for the approval of the
Technical Committee by a formal
written ballot. If the ROP does not
receive approval by a two-thirds vote
calculated in accordance with NFPA
rules, the Report is returned to the
committee for further consideration and
is not published. If the necessary
approval is received, the ROP is
published in a compilation of Reports
on Proposals issued by NFPA twice
yearly for public review and comment,
and the process continues to the next
step.
The Reports on Proposals are sent
automatically free of charge to all who
submitted proposals and each respective
committee member, as well as anyone
else who requests a copy. All ROPs are
also available for free downloading at
https://www.nfpa.org.
Once the ROP becomes available,
there is a 60-day comment period
during which anyone may submit a
Public Comment on the proposed
changes in the ROP. The committee
then reconvenes at the end of the
comment period and acts on all
Comments.
As before, a two-thirds approval vote
by written ballot of the eligible members
of the committee is required for
approval of actions on the Comments.
All of this information is compiled into
a second Report, called the Report on
Comments (ROC), which, like the ROP,
is published and made available for
public review for a seven-week period.
The process of public input and
review does not end with the
publication of the ROP and ROC.
Following the completion of the
Proposal and Comment periods, there is
yet a further opportunity for debate and
discussion through the Technical Report
Sessions that take place at the NFPA
Annual Meeting.
The Technical Report Session
provides an opportunity for the final
Technical Committee Report (i.e., the
ROP and ROC) on each proposed new
or revised code or standard to be
presented to the NFPA membership for
the debate and consideration of motions
to amend the Report. Before making an
