AUV Minutes.doc

9 8. The Technical Committee reviewed and took action on all Public Inputs to amend the 2015 edition of NFPA 30A. 9. There was no correspondence requiring the Technical Committee s attention. 10. Under Old Business : Revisit Failed Tentative Interim Amendment No The Technical Committee decided not to pursue further action. Double-Poppet Shear Valves: The Technical Committee created a First Revision to require installation of these for all dispenser units. 11. The following items of new business were handled: Inquiry from WI SFMO: Does NFPA 30A apply to non-registered vehicles? Messrs. Biancucci, Klein, and Horne discussed this issue in the course of drafting the amendments to the Technical Committee s scope statement and determined that NFPA 30A does apply to all vehicles, regardless of whether they are registered. The Technical Committee created a First Revision to Annex A.1.2 to clarify this. Better Definitions of Major Repair Garage and Minor Repair Garage. NOTE: Related to this: Does Chapter 7 apply to repair facilities for battery-powered vehicles? The Technical Committee assigned this issue to the NFPA 2/NFPA 30A Correlation Task Group. Installation of small pumps directly on small tanks without minimum separation distance. This issue was deferred to the next document revision cycle and will be assigned to a Task Group. Revisions to Section 6.7, Emergency Electrical Disconnects. This issue was deferred to the next document revision cycle and will be assigned to a Task Group. NOTE: Mr. Laurence suggested that this provision be amended to require that all fluid handling systems be disconnected. Table 8.3.2: Add the following entries: Tank, aboveground, Div. 1 Zone 0 space inside vent piping fixed roof or vent opening This issue was assigned to the Task Group. Required Separation Delivery Vehicle to Aboveground Storage Tank. This is already dealt with in the Code via required protection for aboveground storage tanks. Lightning Strikes and Underground Storage Tank Explosions. NOTE: This relates to incidents where underground storage tank explosions have occurred when the vent pipe has been struck by lightning. Mr. Boyd explained that this is being studied due to the fact that some alternative fuel blends can result in an ignitable atmosphere within the tank. The Technical Committee decided to defer this issue to the next document revision cycle. Correlation Between NFPA 30A and NFPA 52 Emergency Electrical Disconnects. The Technical Committee determined that this was not an issue. Presentation on FlexStation Modular Fueling Facility. The Technical Committee reviewed a presentation describing the FlexStation modular concept for refueling stations. Some issues noted: - unique electrical area classification determinations - structural integrity of supporting columns in the event of a fire AUV Minutes.doc

10 On-Site Mobile Refueling Services. The Technical Committee discussed the rise of on-site refueling from pick-up trucks with integral gasoline storage tanks and pumps. (See NFPA 30A says nothing about this practice, although it does have a section (9.6) on fueling vehicles located at a dedicated not-accessible-to-the public site from a tank truck. The Technical Committee drafted a First Revision to Section 9.6 as a place-holder for future amendment at the Second Draft stage. 12. Schedule Next Meeting(s). The Technical Committee scheduled the Second Draft meeting for August 30 31, 2016 at a location to be determined. There will be an attempt made to include a site visit to a CNG refueling facility. 13. The meeting adjourned at 12:15 PM on November 17. AUV Minutes.doc

Property owner may not be aware that fueling is occurring on their property. On the other hand, it will be very difficult for industry to obtain a permit for every possible location that fueling will occur at. If no site location permit is required, should a site log be maintained by the operator. Log shall be provided to AHJ upon request. SFM F386 R4 (05/18/2016)

23 Justification Public Comment Development During the Committee Action Hearing, IFC committee members as well as industry and fire code official testifiers spoke in support of the IFC language being expanded to cover the emerging mobile fueling industry to ensure safety of the operations and consistent application of the fire code provisions where these activities are occurring. While in support of the concept, there was agreement that the initial proposed language was not detailed enough for inclusion, and the submitters were encouraged to clean up the proposed language, add more detail to cover the differing methods of delivery and submit a public comment to provide fire code officials the necessary tools to deal with these activities with language in the 2018 IFC. This Public Comment was developed by a Task Force assembled by the California State Fire Marshal's Office comprised of regulators, industry stakeholders and interested parties. The proposed modifications to the initially submitted proposal addresses the topics and issues that were identified by testifiers and committee members. Background The first edition of the IFC (2000) was consistent with the Uniform Fire Code in that it allowed mobile fueling only for limited situations (e.g., marine and air craft, emergency refueling, equipment at farms, construction sites, etc.). The other two legacy fire codes the Standard Fire Code and the National Fire Code adopted NFPA 30A as a general reference, thus permitting the NFPA model of mobile fueling. The 2003 IFC then nationally codified mobile fueling of motor vehicles from tank vehicles on commercial, industrial, governmental and manufacturing establishments, bringing it into better alignment with NFPA 30A and satisfying the needs of industry at the time, which was mobile refueling of diesel vehicles. Section currently allows mobile fueling activities of Class II and Class III liquids provided administrative controls are in place over the fueling site; tank vehicles meet specifications; and operators meet training, licensing, and permitting requirements. Purpose The purpose of this Public Comment is to allow mobile fueling of Class I liquids as well as to regulate mobile fueling operations from vehicles other than tank vehicles, including portable containers. This modification would again align Section with NFPA 30A, which allows fueling of Class I liquids from tank vehicles. Regardless of the allowances or restrictions of the IFC, mobile fueling of Class I liquids is in high demand and many jurisdictions are faced with the reality that the industry is currently conducting mobile fueling activities. Some states (e.g., Oregon & Ohio) have already amended their Fire Code to expand Section to include Class I fuels. Several major U.S. cities (e.g., Fort Worth and Austin, TX) have developed other regulations specifically allowing for expanded mobile fueling operations, and many others are currently considering such regulations, which parallel the proposed language in this Public Comment. Codification in the national code is imperative to ensure safe, consistent adoption of the operation. Public Benefit SFM F386 R4 (05/18/2016)

24 Mobile fueling of Class I liquids provides many consumer, environmental and community benefits, including: 1. Reducing or eliminating public exposure to crime and VOCs at gas stations. 2. Reducing road congestion during peak commute hours by eliminating travel to gas stations. 3. Solving a transportation access hurtle for persons with disabilities. 4. Providing a safer operation when carried out by a trained, focused specialist who is familiar with the dispensing equipment, the safety regulations, and is trained in spill control and mitigation, and knows what steps to take should an incident occur. Given the length of time that mobile fueling has been occurring, the data points to an outstanding safety record. This proposal will expand mobile fueling operations to allow Class I fueling of motor vehicles provided such operations are carried out under the proposed set of expanded requirements designed to address fire safety and protect the environment. Description of the Public Comment The four parts of this public comment are described below. Modification of Section The proposed revisions expand the existing allowance of mobile fueling to Class I liquids on commercial, industrial, governmental and manufacturing establishments. The new language brings the IFC into alignment with NFPA 30A, cleans up the language, and adds additional regulations as described below: 2. Mobile fueling operations are permitted only in open areas, and this requirement makes it clear that mobile fueling on building roofs is prohibited unless they are accessible from grade level. Some jurisdictions already permit fueling on the roof level of parking structures when the roof level parking can be accessed from surface roads without accessing the garage interior. 3. The specifications of the already required safety and emergency plan have been expanded. 8. The setback requirements for mobile fueling of Class II and Class III liquids have not been modified. The setback requirements for mobile fueling of Class I liquids has been specified at 25 ft, which is consistent with the setback distance required in Section for bulk and other process transfers of Class I liquids. This is a generally accepted setback distance to ensure ignition source control, which is the primary physical hazard. When an approved means of vapor recovery is used, the setback distance may be reduced to 15 feet. 10. A maximum aggregate capacity is specified for Tank Vehicles dispensing Class I fuels. 13. The language was cleaned up to make it clear that all equipment must be listed, not just the hose and nozzle. Listed hoses and nozzles, which are required, electrically bond the tank vehicle to the motor vehicle being fueled. The Working Group reviewed a number of reference standards. These cannot be introduced during the Public Comment Phase. The Working Group SFM F386 R4 (05/18/2016)

25 agreed that the standards would be followed for mobile fueling operations. A list of these standards has been included at the end of the public comment. 14. The dispensing hose length for Class II and Class III fuels has not been modified. A shorter dispensing hose length of 50 ft has been specified for Class I fuels to help further minimize the likelihood that the hose will be located across lanes of traffic. 15. This provision establishes a fuel limit switch based on the quantity of fuel that would reasonably be expected to be transferred to a single vehicle during a single transfer. The fuel limit switch is intended to ensure that only a limited quantity of fuel could be spilled if the fuel operator either became distracted or incapacitated during the transfer operations. The fuel limit for Class II and Class III fuels has not been modified. A smaller quantity of 30 gallons has been specified for Class I fuels. 20. Prescriptive language in alignment with Table has been inserted to specify the geometry of the electrically classified area around mobile fueling operations. This provision is intended to ensure that where nighttime transfers or transfers in low light conditions are illuminated using fixed or portable electric equipment, that equipment is either properly rated for the hazardous location or is located a safe distance from the transfer point. It also considers the location of any other fixed electrical equipment such as electric car chargers that may be installed in open parking areas. 24. A new requirement has been proposed to make it clear that emergency vehicle access must be maintained at all time. 25. This requirement makes it clear that a mobile fueling permit does not permit tank vehicles to act as storage tanks and reminds the code user that the requirements of Section apply, which limits the duration of parking at any single location to no more than 1 hr. New Section Other than Tank Vehicles By definition, a Tank Vehicle contains a mounted cargo tank (119 gallons or greater) used for the transportation of flammable or combustible liquids. Because the IFC is silent on the use of mobile fueling vehicles that do not meet the definition of Tank Vehicle, mobile fueling vehicles with individual tank capacities less than 119 gallons have emerged and are in use. Fire Code Officials across the country are looking for guidance. The proposed new Section incorporates the applicable portions of Section for mobile fueling operations from vehicles that are not presently regulated by the IFC. New Section Portable Containers Presently, the code is silent on the use of portable fuel containers for mobile fueling using Class I motor fuels. The code currently allows local officials to regulate these activities at the local level, establishing permitting and operating requirement that are appropriate for the locality. The use of portable fuel containers falls within a number of existing regulations applicable to all personnel that are using portable fuel containers for a variety of fueling activities (including SFM F386 R4 (05/18/2016)

26 landscaping companies, tow vehicles and road side services, personal water craft and offhighway vehicles), and proposed new code Section establishes baseline safety requirements for use of portable fuel containers. Where appropriate, the use of portable fuel containers is subject to the same requirements as other fuel delivery methods. Those requirements are both practical and improve the overall safety of the activity. Modification of Existing Section Permits Items 10 and 11 have been specific to Tank Vehicles, as those are currently the only vehicles regulated by the IFC for performing mobile fueling operations. This Public Comment modifies the language to expand the permit requirement scope to all mobile fueling operations regulated within the Public Comment. The Working Group reviewed a number of reference standards. These cannot be introduced during the Public Comment Phase. The Working Group agreed that the standards would be followed for mobile fueling operations. The standards are: ANSI/UL 79, Standard for Power Operated Pumps for Petroleum Dispensing Products, 2014; ANSI/UL 79A Standard for Power Operated Pumps for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations Up to 85 Percent (E0 E85), 2015; ANSI/UL 87A, Standard for Power Operated Dispensing Devices for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations Up to 85 Percent (E0 E85), 2015; ANSI/UL 330, Standard for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Dispensing Flammable Liquids, 2013; UL 330A, Standard for Hose and Hose Assemblies for Use with Dispensing Devices Dispensing Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations Up to 85 Percent (E0 E85), 2012; ANSI/UL 567A Standard for Emergency Breakaway Fittings, Swivel Connectors and Pipe Connection Fittings for Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations Up to 85 Percent (E0 E85), 2015; ANSI/UL 842A Standard for Valves for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations up to 85 Percent (E0 E85), 2015; ANSI/UL 2586A, Standard for Hose Nozzle Valves for Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Concentrations up to 85 Percent (E0 85), SFM F386 R4 (05/18/2016)

27 Benedetti, Bob From: Henning, Sent: Friday, July 29, :45 PM To: Ramirez, Alfredo M. Cc: Benedetti, Bob Subject: NFPA 30A- Mobile Fueling Public Comment Attachments: NFPA 30A mobile fueling docx Al, In California we are seeing a significant increase in mobile fueling operations, which are currently not regulated by California Regulations or NFPA 30A. The committee First Draft Revision No. 27 was a step in the right direction for regulating this practice, but needs additional refinement to address the hazards associated with mobile fueling operations that serve the needs of the general public. The California State Fire Marshal convened a task group to study this practice and provide suggestions for regulations to address this practice. Final recommendations were provided just last week, and we took these recommendations and have crafted a potential second draft comment to the NFPA 30A first draft revision No. 27 (see the attached). If possible can you add this item to the agenda of the next NFPA 30A committee meeting so the committee has the opportunity to review this material and take any action as appropriate. Having effective mobile fueling operation requirements in the next edition of NFPA 30A will address a problem being faced by an increasing number of jurisdictions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

A vehicle that carries a maximum of 227 L (60 gal) of motor fuel in metal safety cans or other approved metal containers each not to exceed 20 L (5.3 gal) in capacity. Containers shall be secured to the mobile fueling vehicle except when in use.

30 Proposed second revision for No. 27 NFPA 30A 2015 A In addition to the requirements in this section, mobile fueling vehicles should comply with all applicable local, state and federal requirements, including DOT requirements for vehicles used to transport gasoline and diesel fuel Dispensing hoses shall not exceed 15 m (50 ft) in length Dispensing nozzles shall be a listed, automatic closing type without a latchopen device and a listed fuel shutoff switch set to a maximum of 116 L (30 gal) Mobile fueling vehicles shall be provided with a fire extinguisher installed, inspected, and maintained as required by NFPA 10, with a minimum rating of 40 B:C Mobile fueling vehicles shall be provided with a minimum 18.9 L (5 gal) spill kit designed to promptly and safely mitigate and dispose of leakage or spills NO SMOKING signs shall be prominently displayed on the mobile fueling vehicle Operations Nighttime deliveries shall only be made in areas deemed adequately lighted by the authority having jurisdiction The tank vehicle flasher lights shall be in operation while dispensing operations are in progress Expansion space shall be left in each fuel tank to prevent overflow in the event of temperature increase A means for bonding the tank vehicle to the motor vehicle shall be provided. Such bonding means shall be employed during fueling operations Sources of ignition shall be controlled in accordance with Section Mobile fueling vehicles shall be constantly attended during fueling operations, shall not obstruct emergency vehicle access roads, and shall be positioned in a manner to preclude traffic from driving over the dispensing hose Operators shall place a drip pan or an absorbent pillow under the nozzle to catch drips and under each fuel fill opening prior to and during dispensing operations. Reason:

31 Proposed second revision for No. 27 NFPA 30A 2015 The NFPA 30A technical committee took a good first step in recognizing the practice of mobile fueling which is spreading rapidly in many jurisdictions. This proposed change to first draft revision No. 27 is based on input from a mobile fueling working group convened by the California State Fire Marshal to address the issue. The F 27 First Draft Revision covered mobile fueling in Section 9.6, but in looking at the safety provisions needed to cover fueling in a much wider range of venues this can probably be better handled by a new Section 9.7 for mobile fueling of vehicles for the general public. Comments on specific portions of our proposal are as follows: 9.6 Returns the scope of this section to previous language, so it covers just fleet fueling operations The AHJ should have the discretion for determining where mobile fueling can be provided in the jurisdiction, which may be based on demographic, geographic, traffic considerations and other factors This plan documents the procedures that the AHJ determines are necessary for safe operations. Training of mobile fueling vehicle operators is an important safety factor that may be a part of the plan. The annex note provides guidance on what elements could be considered when developing this plan This describes the three acceptable mobile fuel vehicle configurations that the CSFM working group agreed upon. Mobile fueling from a full size tank vehicle is not allowed due to numerous reasons, including an inability to negotiate parking lots where mobile fueling is to occur. Option 1 is currently allowed in Section 9.6, options 2 and 3 are currently being used by mobile fueling operators, and should be recognized for use in this application.

Exception: In major repair garages, where ventilation equal to not less than four air changes per hour is provided, this requirement shall not apply. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The NGVAmerica Technology & Development Committee supports Public Input No. 25-NFPA 30A-2015 (Sect. No ), and the deletion of section The NGV industry has not had any recorded failures (premature releases) from thermally activated pressure relief devices (PRDs), mounted on hundreds of thousands of cylinders, since The existing requirement in section is based on the assumption for the credible release of natural gas from a vehicle being 150% of the largest on board cylinder (Annex A8.2.1). This assumption was based on failures of thermally activated PRDs, which the industry experienced in the 1990s. The suspect thermally activated PRDs have gone through many generations of new designs, and there have been no documented failures (premature releases) since The fact that the industry has not had any premature failures since 2002 is a result of the phase out of older designs and excellent performance record of the new thermally activated PRD designs. Sandia National Laboratory has conducted HAZOP and CFD analysis on indoor release of natural gas from LNG and CNG vehicles (SAND ). The HAZOP analysis shows that more likely releases from CNG and LNG vehicles are a much lower volume than the 150% case and pose less of a hazard for maintenance facilities. The Sandia report also includes CFD gas dispersion modeling of the smaller releases showing the extent of the ignitable mixture. The modeling of the more credible releases indicates that the ignitable mixture is only within an area no more than ten feet from the point of release. This limited volume of release also does not allow for an increased concentration in the ceiling area due to the dispersion of the gas. The full release that was noted in the 1990 assumption was also modeled for background information. The report indicates that ventilation rates within the facility have little or no impact on the volume of ignitable mixture and the dispersion of the released gas.

SAND : Background report to support the Rational of the proposed change. Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment Sandia National Labs supports Public Input No. 25-NFPA 30A-2015 (Sect. No ), and the deletion of section Rationale: The electrical classification area depth of 18 seems to have no rigorous justification. The most likely scenarios have been modeled and have shown flammable concentrations near the release point at the vehicle, well below 18 from the ceiling. Models of the much less likely but more catastrophic release of the entire contents of a CNG cylinder show that the flammable region could extend from the release point to the ceiling and produce a flammable layer thicker than 18. Modeling results comparing ventilation versus no ventilation show little reduction in the flammable volume. The ventilation exception therefore, is also not supported. To develop a comprehensive analysis into existing regulatory issues regarding NGV maintenance facility operations, the Clean Vehicle Education Foundation (CVEF) partnered with Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) to take advantage of Sandia s extensive experience performing similar analyses in support of hydrogen refueling infrastructure. A report on the findings from Phase I of these investigations can be found in Analyses in Support of Risk-Informed Natural Gas Vehicle Maintenance Facility Codes and Standards: Phase I by Ekoto, et al. (SAND ). A synopsis of relevant information is presented below. For the hazard analysis work, detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed at Sandia to examine the three release scenarios identified from a hazard and operability study (HAZOP) analysis: (1) a dormant LNG blow-off, (2) indoor CNG fuel system purge downstream of the storage isolation valves, and (3) a full-scale CNG tank blow-down due to a failure of the pressure relief device (PRD). The analysis also included investigation of the impact of ventilation and the presence of beam pockets formed by solid roof support beams. Methane was used as a proxy for natural gas in the simulations. The reference NGV facility had dimensions of 100 feet long, 50 ft wide and 20 ft tall, with pitched roof. Geometries with and without solid, evenly spaced roof rafters were examined. The impact of active ventilation at the commonly prescribed rate of 5 air changes per hour versus a facility with passive ventilation was considered. For conditions with mechanical ventilation, air was forced into the enclosure 750 seconds before the start of the release to ensure internal steady flows. The vehicle was modeled as a cuboid ( ft3) and placed in the center of the NGV maintenance facility. From velocity maps within the NGV maintenance facility, ventilation currents were observed to form recirculation regions when they interacted with the vehicle or roof structures, which could distort the release plumes and generate accumulation regions for flammable mixture. However, for the scenarios investigated, little sensitivity in the development of flammable regions was observed for simulations with or without active ventilation. This was due to the small duration of the release relative to the ventilation rate. Similarly, the sensitivity of flammable mixture development with facility layouts with or without ceiling beam supports was likewise weak as the mixtures were generally already lean by the time they reached the beams. The LNG blow-off scenario was modeled as a constant leak for five minutes. During that time the amount of flammable mass of the release quickly reached a steady state, and dissipated within seconds of the leak stopping. For the case of the indoor CNG fuel system purge downstream of the storage isolation valves, the gas was purged

43 2 of 33 8/17/2016 2:14 PM from the line within 30 seconds, and the release cloud was within the flammable concentration limits only during the time of this blowdown. For both of these cases, the released gas was in the flammable range only within an area of several feet from the leak source: less than two feet for case (1) and less than 10 feet for case (2). In neither case did the area of flammable mass reach the ceiling. For case (1) simulations with and without ventilation were compared. While the ventilation did slightly lower the amount of flammable mass, it did not alleviate it completely. For the low-flow release scenarios that involved a dormant LNG blow-off or a CNG fuel system purge, peak overpressures predicted by the FM Global overpressure model with input flammable mass values from the CFD simulations were well below 1 kpa no significant hazard is expected for such a low overpressure. A worst case scenario, which has a much lower likelihood of occurring, was also modeled as a venting of a full CNG 700 L cylinder. This size is 50% larger than a normal cylinder. This scenario (described in Analysis of a Full Scale Blowdown Due to a Mechanical Failure of a Pressure Relief Device in a Natural Gas Vehicle Maintenance Facility by Blaylock, et al.) shows that a flammable region will form from the release point at the vehicle up to the ceiling, and will then pool with a thickness up to 80 for the size of garage modeled. The release will last around 15 minutes before dissipating. The Technical Committee should consider whether the potential for this scenario to occur (none have occurred since 2002) should be the basis for the code requirements. If not, then the modeling shows that the most likely release scenarios do not result in hazardous concentrations in the beam pockets, within 18 inches of the ceiling, with or without ventilation.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment RE: Support for Public Input No. 25-NFPA 30A-2015 (Sect ) Dear Sir/Madam, Waste Management (WM) is writing to support Public Input No. 25-NFPA 30A-2015 (Sect. No ) and the deletion of section WM began using compressed natural gas (CNG) in its collection vehicles as early as 1994 and then began significant implementation of CNG in We now operate the largest fleet of Class 8 natural gas vehicles (NGVs) in North America approaching 6,000 collection vehicles. In addition to our fleet vehicles, we also have nearly 100 facilities outfitted for indoor NGV maintenance across the U.S. and Canada. While we are familiar with the failures of the original thermally activated PRDs in the 1990s that were the impetus for the original NFPA 30A Section 8.2.1, we have never experienced a premature PRD failure in any of our fleet vehicles. We are also not familiar with any premature PRD failures since We believe the reason for this success rate over the past 14 years is that the NGV industry worked diligently through the 1990s and early 2000s to phase out older PRD technology and to develop the newer, safer PRDs that we have been using on all of our CNG cylinders since. Given recent Sandia National Laboratory research showing that the more likely releases from CNG and LNG vehicles would be a much lower volume (than the original PRD release scenarios) and that those smaller releases do not allow for increased natural gas concentrations in the ceiling area of maintenance facilities, we question whether NFPA 30A needs to contain Section any longer.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment The Committee was tasked with looking further at this issue which was originally submitted as a public comment. At the direction of the Chair, Randy Moses and RB Laurence met to discuss resolution of the issue. This proposed change acknowledges that small, shop built secondary containment tanks, when installed in compliance with 30A as required in 8.3.4, pose a substantially different risk than a large field erected AST. In fact, it is very common for both dispensers and fuel management systems to be installed within 10' of ASTs used for dispensing motor fuels. After considering a number of risk scenarios, it is proposed that the primary risks are associated with dispensing and overfills. To address dispensing risks, the hazard area depicted on 8.3.2a is appropriate and consistent with dispensing served by USTs. And, with the overfill protections required of secondary containment tanks in 4.3.2, (NFPA 30, ), there seems to be little justification for a 10' hazard area in all directions from the shell. This seems to have been acknowledged in fig 8.3.2a, but the language in was not otherwise consistent. Related Item

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment Mobile gasoline direct-to-consumer fueling services are a growing market across the country. NFPA 30A currently permits mobile fueling of "vehicles used in connection with their business," however it does not address the fueling of private vehicles on commercial/industrial/governmental sites. This hole in national model codes and standards has placed the burden of evaluating the safety of direct-to-consumer mobile fueling onto local AHJs, who then have to determine their own set of requirements in order to permit such operations. Often times, they closely mirror existing requirements for mobile fueling of fleet vehicles, which has a long, safe, successful history. Since direct-to-consumer mobile fueling is such a quickly growing national trend, the NFPA 30A committee submitted some placeholder language into Section 9.6 at the First Draft Meeting with the intent of opening the section to revision and to solicit Public Comment. Several committee members raised issue with the placeholder language as it was submitted. The proposed language of this Public Comment now fully addresses all safety and operational concerns raised by the committee that were initially lacking in the original, as-submitted proposal. These additions are based upon the proven safety record of jurisdictions that have already amended their Codes to permit direct-to-consumer mobile fueling and provides a consistent national standard.

106 2 of 62 8/17/2016 2:17 PM The proposed change does not address any of the key issues regarding the safety of this type of operation; that is the site requirements, spill control, ignition source control, separation distances. Service stations have zoning laws, siting requirements, sometimes drainage requirements, etc. to avoid the likelihood of a spill affecting buildings and people off site. In addition the proposal does not address, ignition source control, vapor loss control and related standards for driver training. The concept of removing the limitation of this operation to refuel motor vehicles intended for commercial, industrial, governmental, manufacturing establishments will be problematic. In the IFC, the mobile refueling operations are restricted to diesel and the site is required to be approved prior to permitting. Klein, Andrew S. Because the practice of mobile fueling is currently happening at residences throughout the country, the committee decided to move forward with this change in order to revisit it. I'd like to share some thoughts from a discussion among fire officials regarding this issue. This change does not address site requirements, a key safety issue. Service stations have requirements (e.g., zoning laws, siting requirements, drainage requirements, etc.) to limit offsite exposure in the event of a spill. Removing the limitations for these operations to commercial, industrial, government or manufacturing may be problematic in the fact that there is no requirement for a site permit--only a single permit for the mobile fueling truck that can service vehicles anywhere. The property owner is ultimately financially responsible for the clean up of any spills and contaminated soil on the property, so the property owner needs to acknowledge and approve of the activity. It is worth noting that the IFC restricts mobile refueling operations to diesel, and the site is required to be approved prior to permitting. Just because this practice is occurring in places does not mean that it should be.

119 5 of 62 8/17/2016 2:17 PM The classification of liquids is based on flash points that have been corrected to sea level, in accordance with the relevant ASTM test procedures. At high altitudes, the actual flash points will be significantly lower than those either observed at sea level or corrected to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Allowances could be necessary for this difference in order to appropriately assess the risk. Table A.1.7 presents a comparison of the definitions and classification of flammable and combustible liquids, as set forth in Section 1.7 of this code, with similar definitions and classification systems used by other regulatory bodies. The Hazardous Materials Regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), as set forth in 49 CFR (b)(2) and (f), provide an exception whereby a flammable liquid that has a flash point between 37.8 C (100 F) and 60.5 C (141 F) and does not also meet the definition of any other DOT hazard class can be reclassified as a combustible liquid [i.e., one having a flash point above 60.5 C (141 F)] for shipment by road or rail within the United States.
