FALL 2014 REPORT OF THE MOTIONS COMMITTEE

ON CERTIFIED AMENDING MOTIONS FOR PRESENTATION AT THE

2015 NFPA TECHNICAL MEETING JUNE 22-25, 2015 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

I. Introduction

This is the Fall 2014 Report of the Motions Committee listing Certified Amending Motions that may be presented at the 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session) in Chicago, Illinois on June 22-25, 2015. This Report incorporates the actions taken by the Motions Committee on Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards dated October 17, 2014. The Motions Committee, consisting of NFPA Standards Council Members K. Bell (Chair), R. Bradley, J. Golinveaux, J. Harrington, J. Milke, R. Owen, J. Rickard and M. Snyder, 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 Motion (NITMAMs) that have been submitted on NFPA codes and standards (Standards), and processed in the Fall 2014 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 Motions Committee, in accordance with NFPA rules, reviews each NITMAM to determine whether the intended motion is a proper motion. The Motions 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 Motions 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 Motions Committee certifies for presentation at the appropriate NFPA Technical Meeting all proper Amending Motions, either as submitted or as clarified, restated or grouped, as explained above. The Motions Committee then publishes a report setting forth, at a minimum, each Certified Amending Motion, the person(s) authorized to make such motions, and the recommended order in which motions should be entertained. The Report may include Motions 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 Motions for the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards are set forth in Part II of this Report; Part III (Table B) summarizes motions that were not certified by the Motions Committee; Part IV of this Report lists “Consent Standards” in the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle that have no Certified Amending Motions. In reviewing this Report, the following should be considered:

Revised: October 20, 2014 Posted: October 17, 2014

F2014 Report of the Motions Committee of 29


The only Amending Motions allowed at an NFPA Technical Meeting are Certified Amending Motions set forth in a report of the Motions Committee and any Follow-Up Motions (e.g. motions that may become necessary as a result of a previous successful Amending Motion). (See Convention Rules at 3.4.4.)

Certified Amending Motions 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 4.5.3.5(c) and 4.5.3.6.

The Certified Amending Motions set forth in this Report are proper and permissible; they

will, however, only be presented for the consideration of the membership at the 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session) 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 Tech Session (see Convention Rules at 2.7), and makes the motion in accordance with NFPA rules.

This Report concerns all Certified Amending Motions for Fall 2014 Revision Cycle

Standards that may be considered at the 2015 Tech Session in Chicago, Illinois on June 22-25, 2015. Other NFPA Standards reporting to the 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting (Tech Session) will appear in a separate report.

The information presented above provides a general introduction to some of the relevant features of the NITMAM process and the presentation of Certified Amending Motions. 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 Motions 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 4.5.3 of the Regs. These are published in the 2014 NFPA Standards Directory and are available on the NFPA website at www.nfpa.org. For additional information about the NFPA standards development process, consult the NFPA website or contact NFPA Codes & Standards Administration Department at 617-984-7248. II. Certified Amending Motions The three standards processed in the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle that have Certified Amending Motions which may be presented for action at the June 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting in Chicago, Illinois are as follows: NFPA 33 Standard for Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials NFPA 520 Standard on Subterranean Spaces NFPA 11 Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam Note: In accordance with 1.6.2(a) of the Regs, anyone who is dissatisfied with the results of the floor motions from the June 2015 NFPA Technical Meeting and/or the result of the Technical Committee amendment ballots [see Regs at 1.6.2(b)] have the right to appeal the results. Appeals




relating to Association action on the issuance of a Standard shall be filed no later than twenty days after the NFPA Technical Meeting. The final date to file any such appeal is July 15, 2015. III. NITMAMs that were not Certified by the Motions Committee Of the NITMAMs that were received on Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standards, one was not certified by the Motions Committee. Table B itemizes the motion that was not certified. IV. Consent Standards Where a Standard in the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle Standard receives no Public Comments, Second revisions, or NITMAMs that result in Certified Amending Motions, the Standard is considered a “Consent Standard.” A Consent Standard is not presented at the NFPA Technical Meeting but is, instead, forwarded directly to the Standards Council for issuance. See Regs at 4.4.8.4 and 4.5.2.5. There are fifty-three standards in the Fall 2014 Revision Cycle that are Consent Standards. The following five standards have previously been designated as Consent Standards and issued by the Standards Council: NFPA 601 Standard for Security Services in Fire Loss Prevention (Issued January 14, 2014

Report Layout Certified Amending Motions (CAMs)

This Report contains Certified Amending Motions (CAMs) for NFPA Standards in the Fall 2014 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 Motions 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 Motions are displayed via two distinct sections which are:

I. CAM Overview. Page 8 lists all the CAMs for NFPA 33 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 Fall 2014 Standards being considered at the Tech Session.

II. Effect of CAMs. Page 9 displays the potential text of NFPA 33 if Motion Seq # 33-1 were to pass or fail. These pages immediately proceed the applicable CAM Overview page and follow the same order as the motion sequence numbers (Motion 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 Motion on the text of an NFPA Standard. The amendment is based on the recommendation of the NFPA membership when an Amending Motion 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.



† Designated Representative in accordance with 4.5.3.5(c) and/or 4.5.3.6 of NFPA’s Regulations Governing the Development of NFPA Standards. **In describing the Certified Amending Motion and in the Motions Committee Notes and Comments, the Motions Committee sometimes summarizes or displays the results of the certified amending motions under consideration. The actual Revisions and/or Public Comments related to the motion should, however, be consulted for a complete description of the precise text and associated statements.
