Sec. 16.

(a) Master plan design releases may be issued by the division.

(1) mechanical;

(2) plumbing;

(3) electrical;

(4) energy conservation; and

(5) accessibility; systems or components.

(c) The purpose of a master plan design release is to simplify the use of the same design for more than one (1) Class 1 structure by eliminating repetitive filing and review of plans and specifications within the scope of a master plan.

(3) Plans and specifications as provided for by section 7 of this rule, except that plans and specifications normally required by section 7 of this rule but outside the scope of the desired master plan design need not be filed.

(e) The issuance of a master plan design release does not:

(1) authorize any specific construction project; or

(2) eliminate the requirement for a separate design release to be applied for under section 5 of this rule.

All applications for design releases that utilize a master plan design shall reference the master plan design release number assigned by the division.

(f) Requests for master plan design releases shall be subject to the provisions of section 12 of this rule.

(g) A master plan design release shall expire when the division does the following:

(1) Determines that, because of changes in the Indiana Building Code, the plans and specifications may no longer comply with the rules of the commission.

(2) Issues an order following the requirements of IC 4-21.5-3-6.

(h) If a petition for review of the division's order under subsection (g) is subsequently granted under IC 4-21.5-3-7, the resulting administrative proceeding shall be conducted by the commission.
