1.0 The meeting was called to order at 8 am by Tim Myers, Chair. The attendees,

guests, and those attending via the web conference made self-introductions. 2.0 The minutes from the February 6th technical committee meeting were reviewed and

approved. 3.0 Guy Colonna, NFPA staff, introduced the new Staff Liaison, Susan Bershad, and gave

a presentation on the new process, the schedule for the A2016 cycle, and the committee membership. There are currently 31 voting members on the technical committee. Guy also presented an update of the current status of NFPA 652, including the schedule and how that schedule affects NFPA 61.

4.0 The committee began its review of public input with the global input # 30 received from the US Beet Sugar Association. It was agreed to table this public input until Thursday morning, after the committee had acted on the other public input received on the document and had a better idea as to its progress.

5.0 The committee reviewed and acted on the remaining public input received for NFPA 61 and well as additional items held from the last revision cycle.

6.0 The committee reviewed and acted on the proposed amendments received from the US Sugar Beet Association in its August 8, 2014 correspondence to the committee, which was amended in its August 22, 2014 correspondence to the committee. Both of these documents are attached to these minutes. The first revisions that were developed from the committee’s review of these proposed amendments will be balloted by the committee.

7.0 The committee considered several other inputs from committee members that were presented at the meeting. These included a substantial revision to Chapter 3 that was proposed by Nick Thielen, a new chapter on general requirements that was also proposed by Nick Thielen, and a new chapter on management systems that was proposed by Chris Aiken. These were all accepted as committee inputs, and will be included as part of the first draft report.

8.0 Several task groups were established to work between the first and second draft on issues raised at the first draft meeting. A list of task groups and members is attached. If any members are interested in joining one of the task groups listed, please contact the Chair, NFPA staff or the task group leads.

9.0 The meeting adjourned at 11:00 am on August 28, 2014. 10.0 The committee discussed the timing and location of the second draft meeting. A

decision was made to hold two second draft meetings to allow the committee to review and act on issues resulting from the review of NFPA 652, the task group work, and committee input. One meeting will be held before the public input deadline, and the other will be held after the public comment deadline and the NFPA annual meeting. This will allow the committee to act knowing the outcome of any possible NITMAMs to 652, which would be heard at the June, 2015 Annual Meeting. The March meeting will be held March 24, through March 27, 2015 in Florida, and the July meeting will be held July 7 through July 10, 2015 in Portland, Oregon.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The 61 technical committee should review the definitions in Chapter 3 for consistency with 652. Thedefinitions in Chapter 3 of 652 should be considered a baseline for those in the other dustdocuments. In some cases, the occupancy specific document may elect to define a term differently.In those cases, the rationale for the differences should be documented. Note that this comment isalso being made to the 654 and the 664 technical committees, and will be made to the 655 and 484committees as they go through their next revision cycle.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The 61 technical committee should review the layout of the document for consistency with NFPA652. The chapter layout for the commodity specific standards should align with the layout of NFPA652 in order to facilitate their use with NFPA 652 in accordance with section 1.4.2 of NFPA 652. Thiscomment is also being made to the 654 and 664 technical committees, and will be made to the 655and 484 technical committees as they go through the next revision cycle.

The Correlating Committee is providing an outline taken from 652 to assist the commodity specificcommittees with their expected alignment to 652 over the next revision cycles. In addition the outlineincludes the level of subsection that a user would use to compare 652 to an industry specificstandard. This is the minimum level of alignment expected, the committee is free to go beyond thislevel. Note that the unhighlighted sections are those that should be used. It is expected that this maynot be able to be completed in the current revision cycle, but this a goal that committees should worktoward.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The 61 technical committee should review the document to ensure that retroactivity is handledconsistently with the other combustible dust documents. Those sections that are to be appliedretroactively should be explicitly designated in the document section.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The 61 committee should consider aligning their objectives with those presented in attacheddocument developed by the correlating committee task group on objectives. The correlatingcommittee would like to work towards having all of the dust documents have similar objectives. Thisdocument is a product of a task group with representation from all of the combustible dustcommittees and represents the direction the correlating committee would like to head in. Thisrecommendation is also being made to the 654 and the 664 technical committees, and will be madeto the 484, 655, and 652 technical committees as they enter the next revision cycle.

NFPA 652 – Draft Objectives for CC review (product of the objectives task group) 4.2 Objectives. 4.2.1 The design of the facility, processes and equipment shall be based upon the goal of providing a reasonable level of safety and property protection by meeting the following objectives:

1.) Life Safety 2.) Mission Continuity 3.) Mitigation of Fire Spread and Explosions

4.2.1.1 The objectives stated in Section 4.2 shall be interpreted as intended outcomes of this standard and not as prescriptive requirements.

4.2.1.2 The objectives stated in Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be met when, consistent with the goal in Section 4.2.1 and the provisions in Sections 1.4 and 1.6,

1.) the facility, processes and equipment are designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the prescriptive criteria set forth in this standard, and

2.) The management systems set forth in this standard are implemented.

4.2.1.3 Where a performance-based alternative design is used, it shall be documented to meet the same objectives as the prescriptive design it replaces, in accordance with Chapter 6 of this standard.

4.2.2 Life Safety. The life safety objective shall be deemed to have been met when, consistent with the goal in Section 4.2.1 and the provisions in Sections 1.4 and 1.6, the occupants not in the immediate proximity of the ignition are protected from the effects of fires, flash-fires, and explosions for the time needed to evacuate, relocate, or take refuge in order to prevent serious injury. 4.2.3* Mission Continuity. The mission continuity objective shall be deemed to have been met when, consistent with the goal in Section 4.2.1 and the provisions in Sections 1.4 and 1.6, the protection features for the facility, processes and equipment limit damage to levels that ensure the ongoing mission, production, or operating capability of the facility to a degree acceptable to the owner/operator. A.4.2.3 Other stakeholders could also have mission continuity goals that will necessitate more stringent objectives as well as more specific and demanding performance criteria. The protection of property beyond maintaining structural integrity long enough to escape is actually a mission continuity objective.

The mission continuity objective encompasses the survival of both real property, such as the building, and the production equipment and inventory beyond the extinguishment of the fire. Traditionally, property protection objectives have addressed the impact of the fire on structural elements of a building as well as the equipment and contents inside a building. Mission continuity is concerned with the ability of a structure to perform its intended functions and with how that affects the structure's tenants. It often addresses post-fire smoke contamination, cleanup, and replacement of damaged equipment or raw materials. 4.2.4* Mitigation of Fire Spread and Explosions. The mitigation of fire spread and explosions shall be deemed to have been met when, consistent with the goal in Section 4.2.1 and the provisions in Sections 1.4 and 1.6, the prescribed or performance based alternative design features are incorporated into the facility and processes to prevent or mitigate fires and explosions that can cause failure of adjacent buildings or building compartments, or other enclosures, emergency life safety systems, adjacent properties, adjacent storage, or the facility's structural elements. A.4.2.4 Adjacent compartments share a common enclosure surface (wall, ceiling, floor) with the compartment of fire or explosion origin. The intent is to prevent the collapse of the structure during the fire or explosion. 4.2.5 Where a dust fire, deflagration, or explosion hazard exists within a process system, the hazards shall be managed in accordance with this standard. 4.2.6 Where a dust fire, deflagration, or explosion hazard exists with a facility compartment, the effects of the fire, deflagration, or explosion shall be managed in accordance with this standard. 4.2.7* Compliance Options. The objectives in Section 4.2 shall be achieved by either of the following means:

1. A prescriptive approach in accordance with Chapters 5, 7, 8, and 9 in conjunction with any additional prescriptive provisions of applicable commodity-specific NFPA standards.

2. A performance-based approach in accordance with Chapter 6.

A.4.2.7

Usually a facility or process system is designed using the prescriptive criteria until a prescribed solution is found to be infeasible or impracticable. Then the designer can use the performance-based option to develop a design, addressing the full range of fire and explosion scenarios and the impact on other prescribed design features. Consequently, facilities are usually designed not by using performance-based design methods for all facets of the facility but rather by using a mixture of both design approaches as needed.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The correlating committee recommends that the 61 technical committee review the exceptions forbucket elevators with capacities less than 106 m3/hr (3750 ft3/hr) found in sections 7.5.1.10.4,7.5.2.1, and 7.5.3.3.1. The 61 committee should provide technical justification for these exceptionsor remove them. Note that these exceptions have been removed from NFPA 654.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The Correlating Committee recommends that the 61 technical committee consider includingsegregation and detachment as management strategies for consistency with the other combustibledust documents. In addition to including the other two management strategies, the 61 technicalcommittee should include the definitions for these terms, as extracted from NFPA 652, in Chapter 3of NFPA 61.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The correlating committee recommends that the 61 technical committee review the use of the termfire-resistance in this section. 654 made several first revisions changing the term fire-resistancerating to fire-protection rating for doors. The 61 committee should review the changes in 654 andensure that it used the proper term throughout the document. This is a correlating issue between thedocuments.

Committee Statement

CommitteeStatement:

The Correlating Committee recommends that the 61 technical committee review its action relatingto FR-50. The proposed text does not meet the standard of care established by the othercombustible dust documents such as NFPA 652 and 654 with regards to dust hazard analysis(DHA).

The Correlating Committee recognizes the work of the 61 technical committee. It is aware that thecommittee has a task group that is working on this issue for the second draft. The CorrelatingCommittee encourages the 61 technical committee to review the material in NFPA 652 and strive towork towards the goals and objectives addressed in chapters 5 and 7 of NFPA 652.
