BILLING CODE 3510–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology 

National Fire Codes: Request for 

Comments on NFPA Technical 

Committee Reports 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Since 1896, the National Fire 

Protection Association (NFPA) has 

accomplished its mission by advocating 

scientifically based consensus codes 

and standards, research, and education 

for safety related issues. NFPA’s 

National Fire Codes, which holds over 

270 documents, are administered by 

more than 225 Technical Committees 

comprised of approximately 7,000 

volunteers and are adopted and used 

throughout the world. NFPA is a 

nonprofit membership organization 

with approximately 80,000 members 

from over 70 nations, all working 

together to fulfill the Association’s 

mission. 

The NFPA process provides ample 

opportunity for public participation in 

the development of its codes and 

standards. All NFPA codes and 

standards are revised and updated every 

three to five years in Revision Cycles 

that begin twice each year and that take 

approximately two years to complete. 

Each Revision Cycle proceeds according 

to a published schedule that includes 

final dates for all major events in the 

process. The process contains five basic 

steps that are followed both for 

developing new documents as well as 

revising existing documents. These 

steps are: Calling for Proposals; 

Publishing the Proposals in the Report 

on Proposals (ROP); Calling for 

Comments on the Committee’s 

disposition of the Proposals and these 

Comments are published in the Report 

on Comments (ROC); having a Technical 

Report Session at the NFPA Annual 

Meeting; and finally, the Standards 

Council Consideration and Issuance of 

documents. 

Note: Under new rules effective Fall 2005, 

anyone wishing to make Amending Motions 

on the Technical Committee Reports (ROP 

and ROC) must signal their intention by 

submitting a Notice of Intent to Make a 

Motion by the Deadline of April 4, 2008. 

Certified motions will be posted by May 4, 

2008. Documents that receive notice of 

proper Amending Motions (Certified 

Amending Motions) will be presented for 

action at the Annual 2008 Association 

Technical Meeting. Documents that receive 

no motions will be forwarded directly to the 

Standards Council for action on issuance at 

its July 24, 2008 meeting. 

For more information on these new 

rules and for up-to-date information on 

schedules and deadlines for processing 

NFPA Documents, check the NFPA Web 

site at http://www.nfpa.org or contact 

NFPA Codes and Standards 

Administration. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

request comments on the technical 

reports that will be presented at NFPA’s 

2008 Annual Revision Cycle. The 

publication of this notice by the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) on behalf of NFPA is 

being undertaken as a public service; 

NIST does not necessarily endorse, 

approve, or recommend any of the 

standards referenced in the notice. 

DATES: Forty-seven reports are 

published in the 2008 Annual Cycle 

Report on Proposals and will be 

available on June 22, 2007. Comments 

received on or before August 31, 2007, 

will be considered by the respective 

NFPA Committees before final action is 

taken on the proposals. 

ADDRESSES: The 2008 Annual Revision 

Cycle Report on Proposals is available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) develops building, 

fire, and electrical safety codes and 

standards. Federal agencies frequently 

use these codes and standards as the 

basis for developing Federal regulations 

concerning fire safety. Often, the Office 

of the Federal Register approves the 

incorporation by reference of these 

standards under 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 

CFR Part 51. 

Request for Comments 

Interested persons may participate in 

these revisions by submitting written 

data, views, or arguments to Casey C. 

Grant, Secretary, Standards Council, 

NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, 

Massachusetts 02269–9101. 

Commenters may use the forms 

provided for comments in the Reports 

on Proposals. Each person submitting a 

comment should include his or her 

name and address, identify the notice, 

and give reasons for any 

recommendations. Comments received 

on or before August 31, 2007, for the 

2008 Annual Cycle Report on Proposals 

will be considered by the NFPA before 

final action is taken on the proposals. 

Copies of all written comments 

received and the disposition of those 

comments by the NFPA committees will 

be published as the 2008 Annual Cycle 

Report on Comments by February 23, 

2008. A copy of the Report on 

Comments will be sent automatically to 

each commenter. Reports of the 

Technical Committees on documents 

that do not receive a Notice of Intent to 

Make a Motion will automatically be 

forwarded to the Standards Council for 

action on issuance. Action on the 

reports of the Technical Committees on 

documents that do receive a Notice of 

Intent to Make a Motion will be taken 

at the Annual Meeting, June 2–6, 2008, 

in Las Vegas, Nevada, by NFPA 

members.

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et seq.) and the regulations 

governing the taking, importing, and 

exporting of endangered and threatened 

species (50 CFR 222–226). 

The proposed action would be 

issuance of an enhancement and 

scientific research permit (File No. 

1604) to the FWS (Dr. Chester Figiel, 

Principal Investigator), pursuant to the 

ESA. The primary objective would be to 

utilize the available captive brood stock 

population to provide information 

needed for implementation of recovery 

efforts, as described in the ‘‘Final 

Recovery Plan for the Shortnose 

Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum)’’

(NMFS, 1998). Captive fish would be 

maintained, conditioned, spawned and 

the gametes and progeny used for 

scientific studies, such as cryopreservation, genetics, culture 

techniques, behavioral studies, 

nutrition, and tagging techniques. An 

additional study characterizing the wild 

genetic strains of sturgeon in rivers of 

the Southeast Atlantic coast would be 

accomplished using tissue samples 

archived at the NOAA/NOS Laboratory 

in Charleston, South Carolina. The 

permit is requested for five years.
