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 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 proposals, supported by written data, views, or arguments to Casey C. Grant, Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02269-9101. Proposals should be submitted on forms available from the NFPA Codes and 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 would be acted on by the Committee. The MFPA will consider any proposal that it receives on or before the date listed with the codes or standard.
At a latter date, each NFPA Technical Committee will issue a report, which will include a copy of written proposals that have been received, and on account of their disposition of each proposal by the NFPA Committee as the Report on Proposals. Each person who has submitted a written proposal will receive a copy of the report.
