II. Minutes of Meeting 1. The Chair called the meeting to order at 8:35 a.m., Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at NFPA Headquarters, Quincy, MA. The Chair welcomed the members and guests and requested self-introductions. 2. The Chair outlined the key action item for the meeting - completion of the Correlating Committee review of the First Draft for both NFPA 91 and 652. The review includes the First Revisions, Public Input (resolved items not associated with changes to the standard), and Committee Input and action to develop either Correlating Notes (CN) or Correlating Revisions (CR), as appropriate. The Chair noted the review guidelines document prepared following the prior meeting and indicated that those guidelines would serve as the general process to be followed for this meeting. The guidelines are attached to these minutes for reference. 3. Staff provided an update on the Committee membership. The Committee currently has 13 principal voting members (plus a voting alternate member). Staff also provided a review of the new NFPA Standards Process including an overview of the duties and responsibilities for Correlating Committees. 4. The Committee began work on reviewing the First Draft of NFPA 91 according to the guidelines. Following the review of the Public Inputs, First Revisions, Committee Inputs, and First Draft, the Correlating Committee created no Correlating Notes (CN) or Correlating Revisions (CR) for NFPA 91. The Correlating Committee will receive an informational ballot affirming their approval of the First Draft with no further action. 5. The conducted a similar review of items pertaining to the First Draft of NFPA 652. Based on its review of the Public Inputs, First Revisions, Committee Inputs, and First Draft, the Correlating Committee created 14 Correlating Notes (CN) and 1 Correlating Revision (CR) to NFPA 652. The Correlating Committee will receive a letter ballot seeking approval of the actions taken on NFPA 652. Before leaving the item related to the First Draft review, the Committee considered possible input from the Correlating Committee to be transmitted to the 5 Technical Committees. After some discussion, the Correlating Committee agreed that a note should appear in the minutes for this meeting related to guidance on how to implement NFPA 652 into the commodity specific documents. The Committee approved the following statement: TC Chairs are urged to consider the current Table of Contents for NFPA 652 as a target for future rewrites of the commodity specific standards during the next revision cycle for each document. To this end, the Correlating Committee agreed that the chapter titles should be consistent, following a similar order for the content, if possible. In addition, to aid those Committees that determine that content from NFPA 652 is not applicable for their documents, a gap analysis should be performed between NFPA 652 and the commodity-specific standard. 6. Fire Protection Research Foundation Code Fund Project Discussion. The Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) is currently soliciting input from committee officers, committees, and staff regarding suggestions for research projects to be funded through the Code Fund. These projects are typically related to data analysis, literature search, or gap analysis and can be awarded and completed in a single calendar year. 7. Other Business. The Chair noted that he was preparing an outline for use during future meetings that would describe the steps to be generally followed to conduct both a First Draft and Second Draft meeting. Based on the process followed during this meeting, the Chair documented the steps and

intends to share that with the Committee members for their use in preparation for the future meetings. Once he has completed this list, he will distribute it to the Committee and asks for any feedback in order to improve the process going forward. Members noted that the PDF format of the agenda package - PI, FR, and CI - don’t permit searching of specific item numbers for some reason making it cumbersome to review specific items easily during the meeting. Staff responded that they will check on better ways to present the agenda items for future meetings; one means they were aware of to facilitate searching is to bookmark each item uniquely. One other general discussion item was directed at how the Correlating Committee should proceed with the development of NFPA 652. The question posed was whether the Correlating Committee should submit its input to the Fundamentals Committee during the Public Input period (which closes January 4, 2013) on key issues such as primacy or hierarchy of NFPA 652 in relationship to the dust-type specific standards. After some discussion, the Committee agreed that they would have adequate opportunity to express a position on such issues during its review of the First Draft and should permit the Fundamentals Committee to complete its work without weighing in at this time. Of course, individual members are permitted to submit Public Input independent of their positions on the Correlating Committee. Staff provided a spreadsheet showing the current schedules of the 6 standards - NFPA 61, 484, 654, 655, 664, and 652 - for purposes of review. The Committee focused on the revision cycles of the various documents relative to the completion of the new standard, NFPA 652. As a result of this review of revision schedules, the Correlating Committee approved a motion recommending that NFPA 61 and 654 be accelerated in their next revision cycle by moving up one year from A2017 to A2016. The purpose for this recommendation is so that both committees can implement relevant elements of NFPA 652 into the respective standards a bit sooner and thus make the intended correlation occur sooner. As the Chair of the Handling and Conveying Technical Committee was not able to attend the meeting, the Correlating Committee Chair will discuss this proposed change with him first before proceeding. Staff will then work with the respective Technical Committee Chairs to develop the request for the Standards Council March 2013 agenda. 8. Next Meeting. The Committee's next meeting will be to review the Second Draft for NFPA 484. After discussion and review of calendars, the CC agreed to schedule the Correlating Committee Second Draft meeting for NFPA 484 to be held in Dallas on 22 - 23 October, 2013. 8. There being no further business, the Correlating Committee First Draft meeting for NFPA 91 and 652 was adjourned at 12:00 p.m., Thursday, June 20, 2013. Respectfully submitted, G. R. Colonna, Staff Liaison

Where Technical Committee activities are managed and coordinated by a Correlating Committee, the Correlating Committee shall review the Public Comments and the Second Draft as balloted by the Technical Committees under its responsibility and take appropriate action within the limits of its authority and responsibilities, as set forth in 3.4.2 and 3.4.3, by creating Correlating Revisions and revising actions on Comments as set forth in 4.4.112 and 4.4.11.3.

4.4.11.2 Correlating Revisions. The Correlating Committee may, within the limits of its authority, revise the Second Draft by creating Second Correlating Revisions, with associated Correlating Statements, that delete or modify Second Revisions or other text in the Second Draft. To the extent that a Second Correlating Revision modifies or deletes a Second Revision or any portion of the Second Revision, the original text of the Second Revision or affected portion thereof shall be redesignated as a Committee Comment and shall be published in the Comment section of the Second Draft Report along with a note indicating that the text contained in the Committee Comment has been modified or deleted from the Second Draft as a result of a Second Correlating Revision.

4.4.11.2.1 Size and Content of Second Correlating Revisions.

(a) An individual Revision can contain multiple changes to the Standard text, provided that the changes are contained within a contiguous portion of the Standard that is no smaller than an individual numbered or lettered section or larger than a chapter.

(b) Exception for Global Revisions. Where the Correlating Committee wishes to revise a term or phrase throughout an NFPA Standard so as to achieve editorial consistency or correlation, the Committee may do so through a Global Revision.

4.4.11.3 Change in Actions on Comments. Where a Second Correlating Revision is inconsistent with the Technical Committee’s Committee Action on any Comment, the Action shall be changed to make it consistent with the Second Correlating Revision, and a note shall be provided with the new Action indicating that it has been changed at the direction of the Correlating Committee to be consistent with a Second Correlating Revision.

4.4.11.4 Preparation of Second Draft for Balloting.

4.4.11.4.1 When the Correlating Committee has completed its work, NFPA Staff shall prepare the complete Second Draft showing individual Second Correlating Revisions and their associated Committee Statements for Balloting.

4.4.11.4.2 Prior to the Ballot, the Second Draft and individual Second Correlating Revisions shall be reviewed by NFPA Staff for editorial consistency and conformance with the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents, and any required editorial changes shall be incorporated into the text of the Second Draft and individual Second Correlating Revisions prior to Balloting.

4.4.11.4.3 If, in the course of editorial review, NFPA Staff make an editorial change to text that is not part of a Second Correlating Revision, Staff may, if Committee review is deemed advisable, designate the affected text as a Second Correlating Revision. A notice shall be attached to such a Revision indicating that it was developed by Staff for editorial purposes.

4.4.11.5 Correlating Committee Ballot on Second Draft.

4.4.11.5.1 Balloting on Second Correlating Revisions.

(a) Any proposed Second Correlating Revisions to the Second Draft shall be submitted to a Ballot of the Correlating Committee. Approval of Second Correlating Revisions shall be established by a three-fourths affirmative vote of the Correlating Committee. Negative votes or abstentions on specific Second Correlating Revisions shall include the reasons for such votes.

(b) Only proposed Second Correlating Revisions that are approved by the Correlating Committee Ballot shall become Second Correlating Revisions and shall be published in the Second Draft Report. Second Correlating Revisions that fail Ballot shall not be published.

(c) For approved Second Correlating Revisions, a ballot statement as indicated in 3.3.4.3(d) shall be published with their associated Second Correlating Revisions in the Second Draft Report.

(d) Treatment of Global Revisions. Global Revisions are balloted in the same manner as other Revisions, and a Global Revision that passes Ballot is applied, as directed, throughout the Standard, independently of the results of balloting on other Revisions.

4.4.11.5.2 Ballot on the Report as a Whole. In addition to the Ballot on each of its individual Second Correlating Revisions (see 4.4.11.3.1), there shall be a Ballot of the Correlating Committee on the Second Draft. The results of the Ballot for the further processing of the NFPA Standard are as follows:

(a) Forward the NFPA Standard to the NFPA Technical Meeting. The proposed NFPA Standard shall be forwarded for consideration to the NFPA Membership unless the Correlating Committee, by a three-fourths negative vote on the Ballot (demonstrably based on considerations within its authority and responsibility as set forth in 3.4.2 and 3.4.3), directs the return of the NFPA Standard to the Technical Committee for further study. If the NFPA Standard is forwarded for consideration to the NFPA Membership, the results of the Ballot, including the reasons for negative votes, shall be included in the Technical Committee Report.

(b) Return of the NFPA Standard. If the Correlating Committee directs the return of the NFPA Standard to the Technical Committee for further study, the NFPA Standard is not forwarded to the NFPA Membership, the Second Draft Report is not published, and a notice that the Correlating Committee has directed the return of the NFPA Standard to the Technical Committee for further study shall be published in place of the Second Draft Report.

4.4.11.6 Further Processing of NFPA Standards that have been Returned to Committee by the Correlating Committee. When an NFPA Standard is returned to the Technical Committee in accordance with 4.4.11.5.2(b), the Correlating Committee shall make a recommendation to the Standards Council on further processing, and the Standards Council shall direct one of the following options:

(a) Process the NFPA Standard based on an existing First Draft, without a call for new Public Comments. This requires the Technical Committee to begin with the existing First Draft as published, reconsider and act on all Public Comments previously filed, generate any new Second Revisions, and publish and prepare an amended Second Draft.

(b) Process the NFPA Standard based on the existing First Draft, with a call for new Public Comments. This requires the Technical Committee to begin with the existing First Draft as published, call for new Public Comments that would supersede all previously filed Public Comments, and publish and prepare a new Second Draft.

(c) Process the NFPA Standard through a full Revision Cycle without a call for new Public Input. This requires the Technical Committee to reconsider all Public Input previously filed, generate any new First Revisions, and publish and prepare an amended First Draft, followed by the processing of the new Second Draft.

(d) Process the NFPA Standard through a full Revision Cycle with a call for new Public Input. This requires the Technical Committee to call for new Public Input that would supersede all previously filed Public Input, followed by the processing of the new Second Draft.

TO: NFPA Technical Committee on Combustible Metals and Metal Dusts

FROM: Joanne Goyette, Administrator, Technical Projects

DATE: September 20, 2013

SUBJECT: NFPA 484 Second Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (A2014)

According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot.

31 Members Eligible to Vote 5 Not Returned (J. Allers, M. Brown, S. Davis, J. Farrell, and K. O’Brien) 25 Affirmative on All (K. Kreitman, P. Levitt, S. Rodgers, M. Rosenberger, and E. Ural, with comment) 1 Negative on one or more second revisions (E. Ural) 0 Abstention on one or more second revisions The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of the vote for each second revision.

There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2/3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined.

(1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote ÷ 2 = 10 + 1 = 11)

(2) Example for Affirmative 2/3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not

return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote – 1 not returned – 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 )

As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Erdem A. Ural Most people define metal based on element's location on the periodic table. Include such a definition in the annex. The current definition (An opaque lustrous elemental chemical substance that is a good conductor of heat and electricity and, when polished, a good reflector of light.) is not always correct.

Erdem A. Ural 4.2.1. is confusing. Break it into 2 sentences (i.e. samples collected, components identified). A4.2.2.2 is not "typical basic material characterization" as claimed.

Robert G. Zalosh Although it is important to characterize the material composition, this does not have to be via laboratory tests. If the sample comes from a facility in which the sample composition is well known, the composition can be identified on the sample submittal for the screening tests, such that the material composition is noted on the report of the screening tests.

Erdem A. Ural The introductory sentence that begins with "The following information shall be provided..." is not consistent with the syntax of the 20 items that follow it.

Kevin Kreitman 6.4.1(5)as proposed reads: Uninolved product and exposures (other than alkali metals)to be protected by hose streams after an adequate review is completed to ensure any runoff from hose streams does not come into contact with burning or molten combustible metal. The section is missing the verb "only" between streams and after.

Mark S. Rosenberger Section 6.4.1 (6) "not protected by hose streams" should be changed to " not exposed/subjected to hose streams!"

Peter Levitt Filter medium should be filter media. 9.3.4 heading & body , 9.4.11.3, 9.4.9.1, 9.4.9.2, 9.4.11.3 9.4.13.3 Subject of sentence should change to: Portable media-type dust collectors shall be permitted… The existing subject of the sentence is not clear and has been interpreted to allow down draft bench dust collectors with casters, to qualify as portable media type dust collectors. 9.4.13.11 Does this apply to portable media-type collectors? I do not believe that is the intent. Allowance should be made for portable media-type dust collectors from 9.4.13.3. I know MOS does not like exceptions. Possibly sentence could end as follows; ,unless dust collector is portable media type. See 9.4.13.3 9.4.13.14.1 Does this prohibit a media collector such as a pulse jet bag house located outdoors for aluminum dust ? If yes, is that our intent? 9.4.13.15.1 Reference is made to metals covered by Chapter 18. What metals are covered in Chapter 18? Do we call out steel or iron dust anywhere? 75% or more of dust collectors that are sold for metal dust are for ferrous materials. We need to be clear that the standard applies to steel & iron dusts. Many people I speak with do not believe #484 includes steel & iron, because they do not believe they are combustible in dust form. Someone called me today with that belief. 9.4.13.15.3 I do not believe “self-contained” is easily understood. I suggest; Dry down draft benches with internal filters and/or integral blower shall be prohibited.

Samuel A. Rodgers In 9.2.1.8 the text "Chapter 13 of" should be removed because it is redundant to the preceding descriptive wording in the sentence. Section 9.3.1.7 is redundant to the information in 9.3.1.1 thorugh 9.3.1.6. 9.4.13.15.7.3 is followed by a paragraph identified as (A), which should be renumbered.

Erdem A. Ural Is something wrong with this ballot item? While the title says A.4.3.1, the SR-105 link points to new table A.4.4.1 The new table A.4.4.1 should include the high Kst aluminum dusts such as flakes. Kst can be 600 Bar-m/s or larger. Use, for example, data reported by HSE. Having maximum Kst of 332 bar-m/s for "Nonspherical, Nodular, or Irregular Powders" can grossly mislead aluminum flake users trying to use "historical" data.
