NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on February 16, 2006 The Bureau of Elevator Safety, it issued an Order Granting Emergency Variance Request in response to a petition filed on January 17, 2006 and advertised in FAW Vol. 32, No. 08, received a petition for Frank E. Scerbo, P.E. of CH2M Hill on behalf of the MOSI Pedestrian Overpass in Tampa, FL (petition VW 2006-046) seeking a waiver from Rule 102.1, of ASME A17.1, 1996 Edition with 1997 Addenda, as adopted by Chapter 3001.2, Florida Building Code. The petitioner requested to be allowed to install the circuits for the exterior lighting to be in the panel box located within the machine room. The petition was granted as it was determined that the intent of the rule is to eliminate non-elevator personnel from needing to access the machine room. As the lights are on photocells there will be no need for anyone to access the panel box other than elevator service personnel.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940, North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202.
