NFPA 2 Report on Comments Now Available
Geoff Bromaghim, National Hydrogen Association


The Report on Comments (ROC) for NFPA 2, the Hydrogen Technologies Code, was publicly posted on August 4, 2010.  Interested parties can review the document on the NFPA website at http://www.nfpa.org/aboutthecodes/AboutTheCodes.asp?DocNum=2.
The ROC details the committees’ action on all of the proposals received from the Report on Proposals (which for NFPA 2 was posted on December 28, 2009).

According to NFPA procedure, the ROC is made publicly available for a seven-week period in which stakeholders may file a Notice of Intent to Make a Motion (NITMAM).  The NITMAM Closing Date is October 22, 2010, and NITMAM forms are available on the same webpage as the ROC. 

If any NITMAM’s are submitted and are certified by the Motions Committee of the Standards Council as a proper amending motion, then the proposed NFPA 2 document will be presented for action at the next Annual Association Technical Meeting (June 2011).  If no NITMAM’s are submitted and certified as proper amending motions by the closing date, then the proposed NFPA 2 document instead will be forwarded directly to the NFPA Standards Council for action on issuance.

The ROC is available directly through this link: http://www.nfpa.org/Assets/files/AboutTheCodes/2/2-F2010-ROC.pdf
