Russell, Staff Liaison DATE: November 14, 2013 SUBJECT: NFPA 302 Second Draft TC Final Ballot Results (A2014) According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot. 28 Members Eligible to Vote 5 Ballots Not Returned (R. Chaisson, W. Colavecchio, E.C. Game, D. LeBlanc and L. Montgomery ) 21 Members Voted Affirmative (1 with comment - J. Cote) 2 Members Voted Negative on One or More Second Revisions (J. Adey and J. Cote) 0 Members Abstained The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each second revision. There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 / 3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = 10 + 1 = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 / 3 : Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Engine room fire suppression is not a substitute for engine room fire detection. Occupants of most vessels 12 m 39.37 ft (12 m) and larger are typically too far from the engine room to detect a fire without the assistance of properly installed detection equipment. The occupants of the vessel can be placed in further peril when it becomes necessary to escape the fire by entering the water. Engine room fires need to be detected early in order to reduce the dangers to the vessel's occupants and damage to the vessel. Heat and/or smoke alarms should be listed to appropriate standards for the device and installed according to the device manufacturer s instructions.
