				by the engineer of record shall reflect the design criteria for the metal
				building system as required in subsection
				61G15-31.002(5),
				F.A.C. They shall indicate all openings, concentrated loads and other special
				requirements. Foundation conditions assumed in the design shall be indicated as
				well as the location and magnitude of building reactions on that foundation
				under all design conditions.

As used hereinafter in this chapter, the following words or
				  phrases shall be defined as follows. The Board does not intend for these
				  definitions to apply to any similar wording, term, role, or description outside
				  of Chapter 471 or 553, F.S. or the Florida Building Code Section 110.8
				  Threshold Building; or as such term may be used by a local Authority Having
				  Jurisdiction in local regulations, codes, or ordinances.
(1) "Special Inspectors of Threshold
				buildings," also referred to as "Threshold Inspectors," "Special Inspectors,"
				or "S.I.s" are defined by Section
				553.719, F.S., Threshold
				Inspectors can perform inspections on all threshold buildings or perform any
				other services authorized by Section
				553.79(5)(a),
				F.S. Florida Building Code section 110.8 provides additional requirements to
				the enforcing agency, Special Inspector, and fee owner.
(2) "Special Inspectors of Threshold
				buildings (Limited)", also referred to as "Threshold Inspectors (Limited)," can
				only perform inspections on Threshold Buildings with Repair (without
				Substantial Structural Damage), Alterations 1, Alterations 2, and Alterations 3
				(without Substantial Structural Alterations) of threshold buildings. Special
				Inspectors (Limited) are not permitted to do inspections on new construction or
				threshold buildings with Repairs with Substantial Structural Damage or
				Alterations 3 with Substantial Structural Alteration. The terms Repairs,
				Alteration 1, Alteration 2, Alteration 3, Substantial Structural Damage, and
				Substantial Structural Alteration are as defined in the Florida Building Code,
				Existing Buildings.
(3) "Threshold
				Building" is as defined by the Florida Building Code, Section 110.08 and in
				Section 553.71(12),
				F.S.
(4) "Private Provider" is as
				defined in Section 553.791(1)(j),
				F.S. Private Providers carry out duties as authorized by Section
				553.791, F.S. As set forth in
				Chapter 553, F.S., although the roles and duties of Special Inspectors and
				Private Providers may appear to be similar or overlap, they are not synonymous
				and as specified in that chapter, are not interchangeable.
(5) Inspections requested by local Authority
				Having Jurisdiction in local regulations, codes, or ordinances for
				non-threshold buildings are not part of this chapter.
(6) "All Structural Components" shall mean
				each structural element necessary to the complete load path of the
				structure.
(7) This rule shall be
				reviewed, and if necessary, repealed, modified, or renewed through the
				rulemaking process five years from the effective date.
