1 FINAL REPORT* OF THE MOTIONS COMMITTEE 2015 ASSOCIATION TECHNICAL MEETING JUNE 22-25, 2015 CHICAGO, IL I. Introduction This is the second and Final Report* of the s Committee listing Certified Amending s that may be presented at the 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session) in Chicago, IL on June 24-25, This Report incorporates the first Report of the NFPA s Committee on Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards dated October 20, 2014 and the Report of the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle Standards. The s Committee, consisting of NFPA Standards Council Members R. Bradley, J. Golinveaux, B. Manley, D. O Connor, R. Owen, J. Rickard (Chair) and M. Snyder (Fall 2014 s Committee included K. Bell, J. Harrington and J. Milke), has been appointed by the Chair of the Standards Council to certify proper amending motions and otherwise review and act, in accordance with 2.1 through 2.7 of the NFPA Technical Meeting Convention Rules (Convention Rules), on Notices of Intent to Make a (NITMAMs) that have been submitted on NFPA codes and standards (Standards), and processed in the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle. Under NFPA rules, persons wishing to make an allowable amending motion at an NFPA Technical Meeting must declare their intention to do so by filing, within the published deadlines, a NITMAM setting forth information about the intended motion. The s Committee, in accordance with NFPA rules, reviews each NITMAM to determine whether the intended motion is a proper motion. The s Committee can also, in consultation with the submitter of the NITMAM, clarify the intent of, and, if appropriate, restate the motion. Additionally, in prescribed circumstances, group motions that are dependent on each other may be made as a single motion. Furthermore, the s Committee may take such other action or make such other recommendations as will facilitate the fair and efficient consideration of motions within the available time. The s Committee certifies, for presentation at the appropriate NFPA Technical Meeting, all proper Amending s, either as submitted or as clarified, restated or grouped, as explained above. The s Committee then publishes a report setting forth, at a minimum, each Certified Amending, the person(s) authorized to make such motions, and the recommended order in which motions should be entertained. The Report may include s Committee notes or comments aimed at assisting the Presiding Officer or facilitating the understanding of or the orderly and efficient consideration of the motion when presented at the NFPA Technical Meeting. The Certified Amending s for the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle and the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards are summarized in Part II of this Report; Part III summarizes the Annual 2015 motions that were not certified or that were withdrawn; Part IV of this Report lists Consent Standards in the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle that have no Certified Amending s. Table A summarizes the Annual 2015 Revision motions that were certified, not certified, or withdrawn. In reviewing this Report, the following should be considered: The only Amending s allowed at an NFPA Technical Meeting are Certified Amending s set forth in a report of the s Committee and any Follow-Up s (e.g. motions that may become necessary as a result of a previous successful Amending ). (See Convention Rules at ) * In the event that any corrections to or revisions of this Report become necessary, updates will be posted on the NFPA Website at Posted: May 1, 2015 Annual 2015 s Committee Report Page 1 of 59

2 Certified Amending s at the NFPA Technical Meeting can only be made by person(s) listed in this Report as authorized to make the motion, or by persons they have designated in writing to the Standards Council Secretary as their Designated Representative. See Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards (Regs) at (c). The Certified Amending s set forth in this Report are proper and permissible; they will, however, only be presented for the consideration of the membership at the 2015 Association Technical Meeting if a person authorized to make the motion (or their Designated Representative) physically appears, signs in no later than one hour before the beginning of the session (see Convention Rules at 2.7), and makes the motion in accordance with NFPA rules. This Report concerns all Certified Amending s for consideration at the 2015 Association Technical Meeting in Chicago, IL on June 24-25, The information presented above provides a general introduction to some of the relevant features of the NITMAM process and the presentation of Certified Amending s. For a full and complete understanding of the process, participants should consult the rules themselves, including the Convention Rules and the Regs. In particular, the rules concerning the submission of NITMAMs and the Certification of Amending s can be found at 2.0 of the Convention Rules and 4.5 of the Regs. The rules concerning membership action at NFPA Technical Meetings can be found, generally, in the Convention Rules and in of the Regs. These are published in the 2015 NFPA Standards Directory and are available on the NFPA website at For additional information about the NFPA codes and standards process, consult the NFPA website or contact NFPA Codes & Standards Administration Department at II. Certified Amending s The eleven standards processed in the Fall 2014 and Annual 2015 Revision Cycles that have Certified Amending s which may be presented for action at the June 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting in Chicago, IL are as follows: Annual 2015 Revision Cycle Standards NFPA 13 NFPA 13R NFPA 24 NFPA 72 NFPA 652 NFPA 1710 NFPA 1901 Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Low-Rise Residential Occupancies Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code Standard on Combustible Dusts Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations, and Special Operations to the Public by Career Fire Departments Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus * In the event that any corrections to or revisions of this Report become necessary, updates will be posted on the NFPA Website at Posted: May 1, 2015 Annual 2015 s Committee Report Page 2 of 59

The final date to file any such appeal is July 15, III. NITMAMs that were not certified or were withdrawn Of the NITMAMs that were received on Annual 2015 Revision Cycle Standards, twenty-six were not certified by the s Committee, and the s Committee approved the withdrawal of one NITMAM. Table A itemizes the motions that were not certified or that were withdrawn by the submitter. (Note: Table A only lists motions for standards in the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle because motions that were not certified for the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards were listed in the Report of the s Committee for Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards.) IV. Consent Standards Where a Standard in the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle receives no comments, second revisions, or NITMAMs that result in Certified Amending s, the Standard is considered a Consent Standard. A Consent Standard is not presented at the Association Technical Meeting but is, instead, forwarded directly to the Standards Council for issuance. See Regs at and Thirty standards in the Annual 2015 Revision Cycle are Consent Standards. The following three standards have previously been designated as Consent Standards and issued by the Standards Council (Issued: July 14, 2014 and Effective: July 29, 2014) NFPA 312 NFPA 423 NFPA 1071 Standard for Fire Protection of Vessels During Construction, Conversion, Repair, and Lay-Up Standard for Construction and Protection of Aircraft Engine Test Facilities Standard for Emergency Vehicle Technician Professional Qualifications The following twenty-seven additional standards have been determined by the s Committee to be Consent Standards and shall be forwarded to the Standards Council for balloting.

6 Report Layout Certified Amending s (CAMs) This Report contains Certified Amending s (CAMs) for NFPA Standards in the Annual 2015 revision cycle that will be considered at the June, 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session). These motions have been certified and determined as proper by the s Committee in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards (Regs) and the NFPA Technical Meeting Convention Rules (Convention Rules). Although the motions as certified will not change, the manner in which they are presented, their layout, and the accompanying supportive material may be modified (solely for presentation), removed or added to. Please make note of, and take into consideration, the following: 1) Report Sections. The s are displayed via two distinct sections which are as follows: I. CAM Overview. Page 3 lists all the CAMs for NFPA 24 that can be pursued at the Tech Session. It includes a reference to the pages containing text that illustrates the potential impact of the CAMs if they were to pass or fail. This page is repeated for all other Annual 2015 Standards being considered at the Tech Session. II. Effect of CAMs. Page 4 displays the potential text of NFPA 24 if Seq # 24-1 were to pass or fail. These pages immediately proceed the applicable CAM Overview page and follow the same order as the motion sequence numbers ( Seq #). The impact of a successful CAM on the Second Draft text is shown legislatively. The effect of an unsuccessful motion is illustrated by simply showing the applicable Second Draft text, without legislative changes. Please see below the editorial legend used throughout these sections. Draft text is displayed as follows: (Strikethrough: indicates the deletion of text) (Underline: indicates the addition of text) 2) Editorial Renumbering. The text, which illustrates the certified amending motion, is derived from the First Draft Report and Second Draft Report. As a result, the section numbers and other materials relating to formatting are subject to change based on the final recommendations of the entire standards development process. 3) NFPA Technical Meeting Consideration. The material provided in this Report is intended to illustrate the potential impact of a successful or unsuccessful Amending on the text of an NFPA Standard. The amendment is based on the recommendation of the NFPA membership when an Amending is filed and presented in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards (Regs). IMPORTANT NOTE: The text as recommended by the NFPA membership is subject to the entire standards development process. Therefore, the standard, recommended amendment, and associated text cannot be considered final until the responsible committee(s) are balloted, where required by the Regs, and the standard is issued by the Standards Council. Per Table 1 of the Regs, any failed Ballot will result in a recommendation to return the related text to previous edition text. Posted: May 1, 2015 Annual 2015 s Committee Report Page 6 of 59

13 NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems Seq # 13-1: Roland Asp, National Fire Sprinkler Association Group Amending : Reject Second Revision Nos. 25 & 44 including any related portions of First Revisions and First Correlating Revisions. Recommended Text if Passes: The proposed new text for air venting and associated Annex (7.1.5, , , and A ) is not recommended for inclusion in the 2016 edition of NFPA 13. Recommended Text if Fails: Air Venting. A single air vent with a connection conforming to shall be provided on each wet pipe system utilizing metallic pipe. (See A ) Venting from multiple points on each system shall not be required * Air Venting. The vent required by shall be located near a high point in the system to allow air to be removed from that portion of the system by one of the following methods: 13-1 (1) Manual valve, minimum ½ in. size (2) Automatic air vent (3) Other approved means A A manual or automatic air venting valve can be a reasonable approach on wet pipe sprinkler systems to reduce corrosion activity. The purpose of the air venting valve is to exhaust as much trapped air as possible from a single location every time the system is filled. The objective of venting is to reduce the amount of oxygen trapped in the system that will fuel corrosion and microbial activity. It is neither the intent nor practical to exhaust all trapped air from a single location on a wet pipe sprinkler system; however, more than one vent can be used on a system at the designer's discretion. Interconnection of branch line piping for venting purposes is not necessary. An inspector's test valve can serve this purpose. The air venting valve should be located where it will be most effective. System piping layout will guide the designer in choosing an effective location for venting. In order to effectively accomplish venting, it is necessary to choose a location where the greatest volume of trapped air is vented during the first fill and each subsequent drain and fill event. The vent connection to the system should be located off the top of horizontal piping at a high point in the system; however, the vent connection can also be effectively located off the side of a riser or riser nipple at a high point in the system. Manual air venting valves should be accessible. The manual air venting valve should be located at an accessible point and preferably not over 7 ft (2 m) above the floor. Automatic air valves are not required to comply with the accessibility requirement of manual air venting valves; however, it is recommended the designer locate automatic air vents over areas without ceilings, above a lay-in ceiling, or above an access panel. Each wet pipe sprinkler system should be vented every time the system is filled. Posted: May 1, 2015 Annual 2015 s Committee Report Page 13 of 59
