consideration in the next Lower 

Columbia River tule biological opinion 

for ocean salmon seasons in 2012 and

the event a usable approach emerges 

from this process, the Council may

(FMP) amendment process beginning 

after November 2011 to adopt the 

approach as a formal conservation 

objective in the Salmon FMP.

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action

National Institute of Standards and

National Fire Protection Association 

(NFPA) Proposes To Revise Codes and 

Standards 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Fire Protection 

Association (NFPA) proposes to revise 

some of its safety codes and standards 

and requests proposals from the public 

to amend existing or begin the process 

of developing new NFPA safety codes 

and standards. The purpose of this 

request is to increase public 

participation in the system used by 

NFPA to develop its codes and 

standards. The publication of this notice 

of request for proposals 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. 

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 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 code revision Process 

contains five basic steps that are 

followed for developing new documents 

as well as revising existing documents: 

Call for Proposals; Publishing the Report 

on Proposals (ROP); Call for Comments 

on the Committee’s disposition of the 

Proposals and publication of these 

Comments in the Report on Comments 

(ROC); the Association Technical 

Meeting at the NFPA Conference & 

Expo; and finally, the Standards Council 

Consideration and Issuance of 

documents. 

Note: Anyone wishing to make Amending 

Motions on the Technical Committee Reports 

(ROP and ROC) must signal his or her 

intention by submitting a Notice of Intent to 

Make a Motion by the Deadline stated in the 

ROC. Certified motions will then be posted 

on the NFPA Web site. Documents that 

receive notice of proper Amending Motions 

(Certified Amending Motions) will be 

presented for action at the annual June 

Association Technical Meeting. Documents 

that receive no motions will be forwarded 

directly to the Standards Council for action 

on issuance. 

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. 

DATES: Interested persons may submit 

proposals on or before the dates listed 

with the standards.

Secretary, Standards Council, NFPA, 1 

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, 

Massachusetts 02169–7471.

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 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. 

When a Technical Committee begins 

the development of a new or revised 

NFPA code or standard, it enters one of 

two Revision Cycles available each year. 

The Revision Cycle begins with the Call 

for Proposals, that is, a public notice 

asking for any interested persons to 

submit specific written proposals for 

developing or revising a code or 

standard. The Call for Proposals is 

published in a variety of publications. 

Interested parties have approximately 

twenty weeks to respond to the Call for 

Proposals. 

Following the Call for Proposals 

period, the Technical Committee holds
