4 Standards Action - January 12, Page 4 of 26 pages Public Notice of the Development of a Provisional American National Standard (ANS) by the National Fire Protection Association (in accordance with Annex B of the 2017 edition of the ANSI Essential Requirements) In accordance with Annex B, Procedures for the Development of a Provisional American National Standard (ANS) or a Provisional Amendment to an ANS, of the ANSI Essential Requirements, the National Fire Protection Association is preparing a Provisional Standard for Preparedness and Response to Active Shooter and/or Hostile Events, NFPA The Standards Council found that there are numerous recent active shooter and hostile events of increasing magnitude occurring globally, which are resulting in tragic loss of life, as well as countless injuries. The very nature of these unpredictable, deadly events and the frequency of recurrence establishes the need for prompt dissemination of standards for preparedness and response. Moreover, the Council found that the urgency in addressing these serious safety concerns warranted the initiation of expedited standards development procedures. The standard is being developed to address preparedness, planning, and response to cross-functional, multi-discipline, and cross-coordinated emergency events that are not already established by the NFPA. This includes provisions that establish criteria for the professional qualifications of those who are responsible for preparation, planning, exercising, and responding to cross-functional, cross-jurisdictional events. The standard is being processed as a Provisional Standard to ensure the prompt dissemination of new safety criteria. The Technical Committee will meet March 19-23, 2018 at NFPA Headquarters (One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts) with details available at Notice of the approval and issuance of the Provisional Standard by NFPA will be submitted to ANSI within 5 days of the approval and issuance of the standard by the NFPA Standards Council. Within 45 days of NFPA 3000 (PS) being submitted to ANSI, the provisional standard will be entered into the complete NFPA revision process, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards and as required by ANSI. For additional information or questions relating to the development of this provisional standard, please contact NFPA Standards Administration, NFPA Headquarters, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, Massachusetts 02169, , or via at stds_admin@nfpa.org. Interested parties should review for updates on progress, including technical committee meeting notices and potential calls for public review and input.
