9 5. REVIEW SCHEDULE FOR FUTURE COMMITTEE MEETINGS 1 Spring 2014 (NFPA 914 Second Draft Meeting). April 24-25, 2014, Waikoloa, Hawaii. Fred Leber confirmed these dates have been agreed with the Waikoloa Hilton resort. 2 Fall 2014 (NFPA 909 Pre-First Draft Meeting). September 30- October 01, Todd Neitzel confirmed he can secure a venue at Yellowstone National Park. 3 Spring 2015 (NFPA 909 First Draft Meeting). April 20-22, Ray Allshouse will investigate hosting the meeting at the Henry B. Plant Museum, Tampa, Florida. 4 Fall 2015 (NFPA 909 Pre-Second Draft Meeting) September 21-23, Danny McDaniel offered to host the meeting at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. 6. NFPA 914 FIRST DRAFT REPORT Greg advised that the first draft report of NFPA 914 is currently available at: The closing date for public comments is 15 November The committee suggested that the new process for checking public comments was lengthy due to the fact that there is no link to the text when reviewing each public comment. 7. NFPA 909 EXTRACTS IN NFPA 13 The NFPA 909 requirements for pitching of sprinkler pipe are referenced in section of the 2013 edition of NFPA 13. The requirements are misapplied in that the NFPA 13 language calls for all pipe in museums to be pitched, which is different than the NFPA 909 language, which requires pitching only in dry systems. The committee requested Staff liaison to pursue this with staff liaison for NFPA 13 and through the Standards Council. This appears to be an editorial issue, as it is a direct reference to the 909 language. 8. PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AGENT TASK GROUP REPORT Cindy Greczek confirmed that the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation was awarded a grant by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to progress this project. The IMLS were particularly impressed with the partnership approach to the project. The project panel for this three year project is currently being finalised and it is anticipated that the panel will have their first meeting before the end of November. The committee thanked Cindy for the work she has completed in making the application and congratulated her on achieving the grant to take this research forward. Page 9 of 164

10 9. OTHER BUSINESS Fred Leber discussed the security content of NFPA 914. Whilst most of the fire safety requirements are legislative based, security is quite often a performance based requirement. As a result, Fred has made a public comment to move most of Section 6 into a new chapter 12 Security. This would enable the security chapter to parallel the existing Fire Prevention chapter. Greg will format Fred s comments into a word document to forward to the committee. Sheila Palmer advised that the 914 task group will meet via telephone conferences following the close of public comments and prior to the committee s spring meeting. Don advised that anyone who is not on the 914 task group that would wish to participate should contact him. Jack Watts stated that threats to archaeological sites are not addressed within our codes. As archaeological artefacts are cultural resources, he questioned whether these should be included within our codes. There is a short section within NFPA 909 that deals with wildfire and it was suggested this might be an appropriate place to consider this threat. Alternatively, a new section on archaeological sites/ collections may be considered. Don suggested that this should go on the agenda for the 909 task group. Jack Watts advised that he has been working on a project to develop training materials that can be used by someone with a fire background to work with owners/operators of small buildings. This will be a Federal Government resource that will be available to end users free of charge. Committee members who wish to review the content and assist in the development of the project should contact Jack. Don Moeller asked if vacant buildings should be something this committee should be including in our codes. There are examples of best practise that committee members are aware of. It was considered that there could be limited code language with additional best practise information provided as annex material. Committee members toured the Bath Maritime Museum and were provided with a guided tour of the Bath Iron Works. 10. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 1530 on September 25, Minutes prepared by Mike Coull Secretary Page 10 of 164

28 National Fire Protection Association Report 1 of 41 4/11/ :40 PM Public Comment No. 5-NFPA [ Global Input ] Change chapter 6 to a new title "Reserved" and relocate most of sections 6.4 to 6.9 to a newly titled Chapter 12 named "Security" whilst the existing Chapter 12 becomes Chapter 13 and the balance are renumbered accordingly. Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 have been relocated, by other public comments, into appropriate Chapters. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment Security is being added to a fire protection document. As such it seems reasonable to create a "Security" section that parallels Chapter 11 "Fire Prevention" and to relocate some portions of the Security requirements to relevant existing Sections and Chapters Related Public Comments for This Document Related Comment Public Comment No. 1-NFPA [Chapter 6 [Title Only]] Relationship Renumbering required by document reorganization Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: A.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The manual of style recommends that examples not be part of definitions. Definitions are not enforceable in NFPA. If the technical committee believes that the examples need to be in an enforceable portion of the document they need to be placed in the body of the document, for example somewhere in Chapter 4.

32 National Fire Protection Association Report 5 of 41 4/11/ :40 PM Public Comment No. 39-NFPA [ Section No ] Fire Load. The weight of combustibles in a fire area or on a floor in buildings and structures, including either contents or building parts, or both total energy content of combustible materials in a building, space, or area including furnishing and contents and combustible building elements expressed in MJ [NFPA 557; 2012]. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment I urge the committee to adopt the definition of fire load from NFPA 557, Standard for Determination of Fire Loads for Use in Structural Fire Protection Design, which is a standard specifically designed for fire load determinations. Adopting this definition by extraction would comply with the Standards Council policy of avoiding the use of multiple different definitions within NFPA. NFPA 557 considered the NFPA 914 definition but felt it needed changes. This public comment is being submitted on behalf of the NFPA Glossary Committee on Terminology.

33 National Fire Protection Association Report 6 of 41 4/11/ :40 PM Public Comment No. 35-NFPA [ Section No ] * Historic Building. For the purpose of this code, a building that is designated, or deemed eligible for such designation, A building or facility deemed to have historical, architectural, or cultural significance by a local, regional, or national jurisdiction as having historical, architectural, or cultural significance. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment I am a member of the Glossary of Terms Task Group (GOT). The proposed definition is used by other codes such as NFPA 101.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: Jack McNamara Organization: Bosch Security Systems Affilliation: GOT Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Sun Oct 27 13:26:59 EDT 2013 Committee Statement Committee Action: Resolution: Rejected The term 'deemed eligible' is necessary because it is a legally defined term. The definition of the term 'historic building' should be under the scope of NFPA 914, and not NFPA 101 or any other code or standard. Page 33 of 164

34 National Fire Protection Association Report 7 of 41 4/11/ :40 PM Public Comment No. 40-NFPA [ New Section after ] Retain the definition of "Emergency Impairment" that has been extracted from NFPA 25 in previous editions of NFPA 25. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The Committee deleted the definition based upon an understanding that it was not used in the document. Emergency impairment is used in Paragraph of the document. Having a definition for "impairment" and "preplanned impairment" without "emergency impairment" leaves the definition section incomplete.
