5 Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards Fall 2013 and all subsequent revision cycles (excerpts pertaining to Correlating Committee and First Draft actions) 3.4 Organization and Responsibilities of Correlating Committees Organization. If the Standards Council determines that a standards development activity is of such magnitude or breadth, or for other appropriate reasons requires that a group manage and coordinate the activities of a number of Technical Committees, the Standards Council may appoint a Correlating Committee. The number of Members and the interests from which they are selected shall be determined by the Standards Council Authority. A Correlating Committee shall direct the activities of the Technical Committees that have primary responsibility for the development and revision of NFPA Standards assigned to them. The Correlating Committee shall be responsible for resolving conflicts, achieving correlation among the recommendations of the Technical Committees, correcting errors and omissions, and ensuring that the Committee activities have been conducted in accordance with these Regulations and any approved Supplemental Operating Procedures (see 3.3.8). The Correlating Committee shall have the authority to choose between alternatives presented by the Technical Committees and to write text, but only as necessary for correlation, consistency, and the correction of errors and omissions Responsibilities. The responsibilities of a Correlating Committee are: (a) Resolving conflicts within or between NFPA Standards (b) Recommending the resolution of conflicts between overlapping functions in Technical s (c) Recommending the establishment of new or the discharging of existing Technical Committees and proposing new Scopes or changes to existing Scopes of Technical Committees (d) Recommending changes in membership to obtain or improve representation on a Technical Committee (e) Correlating the scheduling of the Reports from the Technical Committees operating under its responsibility (f) Notifying a Technical Committee of its failure to comply with these Regulations or the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents (g) Determining whether the Technical Committee has given due consideration to all evidence presented to it in connection with the preparation of its Report, including all comments relating to negative votes (h) Establishing Supplemental Operating Procedures, if desired (see 3.3.8) (i) Performing such other or different duties as the Standards Council may from time to time assign Correlating Committee Review and Action on Public Input and the First Draft Review and Permitted Activity. Where Technical Committee activities are managed and coordinated by a Correlating Committee, the Correlating Committee shall review the First Draft as Balloted by the Technical Committees under its responsibility and take appropriate action within the limits of its authority and responsibility as set forth in and 3.4.3, in the form of Correlating Notes and Correlating Revisions Correlating Notes. In reviewing the First Draft, Correlating Committee action shall generally take the form of Correlating Notes that provide clarification and other appropriate information or that direct the responsible Technical Committee(s) to reconsider Public Input, Committee Input, or Correlating Input, conduct further review, or take further action during the preparation of the Second Draft Correlating Notes that pass Ballot shall be published in the First Draft Report and shall be linked to the part of the First Draft to which it relates. Correlating Notes shall be processed in accordance with during the Comment Stage. Correlating Notes shall be supported by at least a simple majority of the Meeting Vote for preliminary approval and shall be subject to

6 final approval through a Ballot (see ) Correlating Revisions. Where early action to promote correlation and consistency of the NFPA Standard is warranted, the Correlating Committee may also revise the First Draft by creating First Correlating Revisions, with associated Correlating Statements that delete or modify First Revisions or other text in the First Draft. To the extent that a First Correlating Revision modifies or deletes a First Revision or any portion of the First Revision, the original text of the First Revision, or affected portion thereof, shall be redesignated as a Committee Input and shall be published in the Input section of the First Draft Report along with a note indicating that the text contained in the Committee Input has been modified or deleted from the First Draft as a result of First Correlating Revision Size and Content of First Correlating Revisions. (a) An individual Correlating Revision can contain multiple changes to the Standard text, provided that these changes are contained within a contiguous portion of the Standard that is no smaller than an individual numbered or lettered section or larger than a chapter. (b) Exception for Global Revisions. Where the Correlating Committee wishes to revise a term or phrase throughout an NFPA Standard so as to achieve editorial consistency or correlation, the Committee may do so through a single Global Revision that applies the change throughout the NFPA Standard First Correlating Revisions shall be supported by at least a simple majority of the Meeting Vote for preliminary approval and shall be subject to final approval through a Ballot (see ) Preparation of First Draft for Balloting When the Correlating Committee has completed its work, NFPA Staff shall prepare the complete First Draft showing individual First Correlating Revisions and their associated Committee Statements for Balloting Prior to the Ballot, the First Draft and individual First Correlating Revisions shall be reviewed by NFPA Staff for editorial consistency and conformance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents and any required editorial changes shall be incorporated into the text of the First Draft and individual First Correlating Revisions Prior to Balloting If, in the course of editorial review, NFPA Staff make an editorial change to text that is not part of a First Correlating Revision, Staff may, if Correlating Committee review is deemed advisable, designate the affected text as a First Correlating Revision. A notice shall be attached to such a Revision indicating that it was developed by Staff for editorial purposes Correlating Committee Ballot on First Draft Balloting on Correlating Notes. (a) Any proposed Correlating Notes on the First Draft shall be submitted to a Ballot of the Correlating Committee. Approval of Correlating Notes shall be established by a three-fourths affirmative vote of the Correlating Committee. Negative votes or abstentions on specific Correlating Notes shall include the reasons for such votes. (b) Only proposed Correlating Notes that are approved by the Correlating Committee Ballot shall become Correlating Notes and be published in the First Draft Report. Correlating Notes that fail Ballot shall not be published. (c) For approved Correlating Notes, a ballot statement as indicated in (d) shall be published with its associated Correlating Notes in the First Draft Report Balloting on First Correlating Revisions. (a) Any proposed First Correlating Revisions taken on the First Draft shall be submitted to a Ballot of the Correlating Committee. Approval of First Correlating Revisions shall be established by a three-fourths affirmative vote of the Correlating Committee. Negative votes or abstentions on specific First Correlating Revisions shall include the reasons for such votes. (b) Only proposed First Correlating Revisions that are approved by the Correlating Committee Ballot shall become First Correlating Revisions and be published in the First Draft Report. First Correlating Revisions that fail Ballot shall not be published. (c) For approved First Correlating Revisions, a ballot statement as indicated

7 in (d) shall be published with their associated First Correlating Revisions in the First Draft Report. (d) Treatment of Global Revisions. Global Revisions are balloted in the same manner as other Revisions, and a Global Revision that passes Ballot is applied, as directed, throughout the Standard, independently of the results of balloting on other Revisions Technical Consideration and Action on Correlating Notes. The Technical Committee shall consider all Correlating Notes and develop a Committee Statement that provides a response. Where the Technical Committee wishes to address the Correlating Note through a change to the text, it shall develop corresponding Second Revisions. Committee Statements, in response to Correlating Notes, shall be supported by at least a simple majority of the Meeting Vote and shall not be subject to Ballot.
