Rule No. : RULE TITLE :
5F-11.002: Standards of National Fire Protection Association Adopted
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule change is necessary to prevent conflict with a rule development notice published in the FAW on February 18, 2011. That Notice of Rule Development addressed changes to Chapter 5F-11, Florida Administrative Code, which included incorporating NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, 2011 Edition and NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code, 2006 Edition, and other code-related materials into a new section in Rule 5F-11.004, Florida Administrative Code, allowing all materials pertaining to compliance with Chapter 527, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 5F-11, Florida Administrative Code, to be listed and incorporated in one rule section. Current Rule 5F-11.002, adopts the 2008 version, of NFPA 58, and is in conflict with proposed Rule 5F-11.004, Florida Administrative Code.
The proposed rule development removes all references in Rule 5F-11.002, Florida Administrative Code, to a particular edition of both NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, and NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code. This language is not necessary in this section. It also removes reference to particular numbered sections in each standard that were not adopted in Florida.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: References to National Fire Protection Association Standards.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 527.06 FS.
