Summary of Modification
The definition of Utility Gas was left out of the supplement, because there is no Florida Specific reason for it to remain in the code.
Rationale
This glitch represents unintended consequences from the integration and should be removed.
The definition of Utility Gas was left out of the BOAF supplement, because there is no Florida Specific reason for it to remain in the
code. In the 2001 FFGC the definition was added along with adding Utility Gas to the titles for the pipe sizing tables in chapter 4. In
the 2004 FFGC Utility Gas was removed from the titles of the pipe sizing charts but the definition was not removed from the code.

Summary of Modification
This modification deletes all sections and references in Chapter 4 of the Plumbing Code relating to accessbility and retains the base
code language.
Rationale
The accessibility requirements that are currently in the proposed 2010 FBC, Plumbing Code are not consistent with the proposed
2010 Standards for Accessible Design (ADA) with Florida specific requirements. To eliminate future conflicts between the two codes,
the proposed amendment will remove all Florida specific accessibility requirements from Chapter 4 of the FBC, Plumbing and retain
the base code language. This proposal falls within glitch criteria - Conflict within the updated code.
The proposed code change has Florida specific need necessary to resolve conflicts within the updated codes. The proposed code
change has no impact on small businesses.
Fiscal Impact Statement
Impact to local entity relative to enforcement of code
This language provides clarification, reduces conflict in codes, and thus improves enforcement of the code.
Impact to building and property owners relative to cost of compliance with code
This language provides clarification, reduces conflict in codes, and there is no additional cost impact to building and property
owners relative to cost of compliance with code.
Impact to industry relative to the cost of compliance with code
This language provides clarification, reduces conflict in codes, and there is no additional cost impact to industry relative to the
cost of compliance with code.
Requirements
Has a reasonable and substantial connection with the health, safety, and welfare of the general public
This language provides clarification, prevents conflict with other codes, and adheres to ADAAG which explains considerations
for accessible design.
Strengthens or improves the code, and provides equivalent or better products, methods, or systems of construction
This language improves the code and prevents conflict with other codes and does not affect products, methods or systems of
construction.
Does not discriminate against materials, products, methods, or systems of construction of demonstrated capabilities
This code does not discriminate against materials, products, methods, or systems of construction of demonstrated capabilities.
Does not degrade the effectiveness of the code
This language does not degrade the code, rather provides clarity and prevents conflict with other codes.
