National Fire Codes: Request for Proposals for Revision of
Standards
AGENCY: National Institute of Standards and Technology, DOC.
ACTION: Notice of request for proposals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) proposes to
revise some of its fire safety standards and requests proposals from
the public to amend existing NFPA fire safety standards. The purpose of
this request is to increase public participation in the system used by
NFPA to develop its standards. The publication of this notice of
request for proposals by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) on behalf of NFPA is undertaken as a public service;
NIST does not necessarily endorse, approve, or recommend any of the
standards referenced in the notice.
DATES: Interested persons may submit proposals on or before the dates
listed with the standards.
ADDRESS: Arthur E. Cote, P.E., Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park, P.O. Box 9101, Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Arthur E. Cote, P.E., Secretary,
Standards Council, at above address, (617) 770-3000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) develops fire
safety standards which are known collectively as the National Fire
Codes. Federal agencies frequently use these standards as the basis for
developing Federal regulations concerning fire 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.
Request for Proposals
Interested persons may submit amendments, supported by written
data, views, or arguments to Arthur E. Cote, P.E., Secretary, Standards
Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, P.O. Box 9101, Quincy,
Massachusetts 02269-9101. Proposals should be submitted on forms
available from the NFPA Standards Administration Office.
Each person must include his or her name and address, identify the
document and give reasons for the proposal. Proposals received before
or by 5 pm local time on the closing date indicated will be acted on by
the Committee. The NFPA will consider any proposal that it receives on
or before the date listed with the standard.
At a later date, each NFPA Technical Committee will issue a Report
on Proposals which will include a copy of written proposals that have
been received and an account of their disposition by the Technical
Committee. Each person who has submitted a written proposal will
receive a copy of the report.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272.
Dated: November 22, 1995.
Samuel Kramer,
Associate Director.
