ACTION: Notice. 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 standards. All NFPA codes and standards are revised and updated every VerDate Nov<24>2008 20:14 Nov 30, 2009 Jkt 220001 three to five years in Revision Cycles that begin twice each year and that takes 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 (ROP); Calling for Comments on the Committee’s disposition of the proposals and these Comments are published in the Report on Comments (ROC); 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 on the Technical Committee Reports (ROP and ROC) must signal their intention by submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion by the Deadline stated in the ROC. Certified motions will then be posted on the NFPA Web site. Documents that receive notice of proper Amending Motions (Certified Amending Motions) will be presented for action at the annual June Association Technical Meeting. Documents that receive no motions will be forwarded directly to the Standards Council for action on issuance. For more information on these new rules and for up-to-date information on schedules and deadlines for processing NFPA Documents, check the NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org or contact NFPA Codes and Standards Administration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary, Standards Council, at above address, (617) 770–3000. 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 E:\FR\FM\01DEN1.SGM 01DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 229, No. 74 / Tuesday, December 1, 2009 / Notices 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 Committees’ 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 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 Association Technical Meeting that take place at the NFPA Annual Meeting. The Association Technical Meeting 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 allowable motion at an Association Technical Meeting, the intended maker of the motion must file, in advance of the session, and within the published deadline, a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion. A Motions Committee appointed by the Standards Council then reviews all notices and certifies all amending motions that are proper.

Interested persons may submit proposals, supported by written data, views, or arguments to Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169–7471. Proposals should be submitted on forms available from the NFPA Codes and Standards Administration Office or on NFPA’s Web site at www.nfpa.org. Each person must include his or her name and address, identify the document and give reasons for the proposal. Proposals received on or before 5 p.m. EDT/EST on the closing date indicated would be acted on by the Committee. The NFPA will consider any proposal that it receives on or before the date listed with the codes or standard.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): Proposes To Revise
Codes and Standards

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 takes
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 (ROP); Calling for Comments on
the Committee's disposition of the proposals and these Comments are
published in the Report on Comments (ROC); 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 on the Technical Committee Reports (ROP and
ROC) must signal their intention by submitting a Notice of Intent to
Make a Motion by the Deadline stated in the ROC. Certified motions
will then be posted on the NFPA Web site. Documents that receive
notice of proper Amending Motions (Certified Amending Motions) will
be presented for action at the annual June Association Technical
Meeting. Documents that receive no motions will be forwarded
directly to the Standards Council for action on issuance.

For more information on these new rules and for up-to-date
information on schedules and deadlines for processing NFPA Documents,
check the NFPA Web site at www.nfpa.org or contact NFPA Codes and
Standards Administration.

DATES: Interested persons may submit proposals on or before the dates
listed with the standards.

ADDRESSES: Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169-7471.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary,
Standards Council, at above address, (617) 770-3000.

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

[[Page 62751]]

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 Committees' action and each Proposal, as well
as all Committee-generated 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 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 Association Technical Meeting that
take place at the NFPA Annual Meeting.
The Association Technical Meeting 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 allowable motion at an Association Technical
Meeting, the intended maker of the motion must file, in advance of the
session, and within the published deadline, a Notice of Intent to Make
a Motion. A Motions Committee appointed by the Standards Council then
reviews all notices and certifies all amending motions that are proper.
Only these Certified Amending Motions, together with certain allowable
Follow-Up Motions (that is, motions that have become necessary as a
result of previous successful amending motions) will be allowed at the
Association Technical Meeting.
For more information on dates/locations of NFPA Technical Committee
meetings and NFPA Annual Association Technical Meeting, check the NFPA
Web site at: https://www.nfpa.org/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=822&itemID=22818
The specific rules for the types of motions that can be made or who
can make them are set forth in NFPA's Regulation Governing Committee
Projects which should always be consulted by those wishing to bring an
issue before the membership at an Association Technical Meeting.
Interested persons may submit proposals, supported by written data,
views, or arguments to Amy Beasley Cronin, Secretary, Standards
Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169-7471.
Proposals should be submitted on forms available from the NFPA Codes
and Standards Administration Office or on NFPA's Web site at
www.nfpa.org.
Each person must include his or her name and address, identify the
document and give reasons for the proposal. Proposals received on or
before 5 p.m. EDT/EST on the closing date indicated would be acted on
by the Committee. The NFPA will consider any proposal that it receives
on or before the date listed with the codes or standard.
