Standards Council Intends
to Withdraw NFPA 780
The Standards Council, at its meeting on July 18-20, considered appeals
regarding the issuance of the proposed 2000 edition of NFPA 780, Stan-
dard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, including ap-
peals requesting that the document not be issued.The Council upheld the
appeals and voted not to proceed with the issuance of the proposed 2000
edition of NFPA 780. (A copy of the full decision can be downloaded
from the NFPA Web site, or a copy can be requested from Codes and
Standards Administration.) In addition, the Council voted to announce its
intent to withdraw the 1997 edition of NFPA 780 and terminate the pro-
ject on Lightning Protection, and directed that a notice of this intent be
published soliciting public comment. The Council will consider final ac-
tion on the withdrawal of the 1997 edition of NFPA 780, and termination
of the project on Lightning Protection at its October 4–6, 2000 meeting.
Consideration will be based on the written record, and without a hearing.
Anyone wishing to comment on the Council’s intent to withdraw NFPA
780 should submit comments to the Secretary of the Standards Council at
NFPA Headquarters no later than September 18, 2000.
Comments Sought
Proposed Tentative Interim Amendment
The following Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) has been proposed
to the NFPA. It is being published for public review and comment.
Comments should be filed with the Secretary, Standards Council, by
the dates indicated below.
The proposed TIA has also been forwarded to the responsible technical
committee for processing. Comments received by the dates indicated
below will be considered by the technical committees before
final action is taken on the proposed TIA. (Please identify the number
of the TIA to which the comment is addressed.)
The Standards Council will then review the technical committee bal-
lot results, the public comments, and any other information that has
been submitted to determine whether to issue the TIA at its meeting
on October 5-6, 2000. Anyone wishing to address the council should
contact Codes and Standards Administration.
A TIA is tentative because it has not been processed through the entire
codes- and standards-making procedures. It is interim because it is
1
September 2000
effective only between editions of the document. A TIA automatically
becomes a proposal of the proponent for the next edition of the docu-
ment. As such, it then is subject to all of the procedures of the codes-
and standards-making process.

3. Revise 16-10.5 by deleting 16-10.5.1 and renumber existing 16-10.5.2
as 16-10.5 Fire Protection.
4. Delete existing 16-10.6 in its entirety. Renumber remaining para-
graphs accordingly.
1. Revise 5-4.6.3 in its entirety including parts 1, 2 and 3 to read as
follows:
5-4.6.3* ESFR sprinklers shall be permitted for use in buildings with
unobstructed or obstructed construction. Where depths of the solid

ESFR sprinklers shall be installed in each channel formed by the solid
structural members. Minimum sprinkler spacing and area of coverage
shall comply with 5-11.2.3 and 5-11.3.4.

general public. Paragraph 16-10.3 addresses the minimum criteria for a
building that is used for the retail sale of consumer fireworks. Para-
graph 16-10.3.6 addresses those buildings that are not used exclusively
for the retail sale of consumer fireworks. Paragraph 16-10.4 addresses
the quantities of consumer fireworks depending on the building. The
weights used to determine the consumer fireworks thresholds are based
on current levels of acceptance referenced in other codes. The refer-
ence for gross and net values for weight have been added to assist in
enforcement applications. The provision in 16-10.4.1.2 is to recognize
without undue hardship on those existing small retail consumer fire-
works outlets that are currently selling consumer fireworks. These pro-
visions permit visibility throughout the retail sales area with a limita-
tion on the size of the display area for consumer fireworks, which is
related to the size associated with a Class C mercantile occupancy.
The TIA also addresses the display of consumer fireworks in 16-10.3.5
which address the access to fuses. This paragraph requires the fuses to be
covered or be contained within the manufacturer’s original prepackaged
assortment with covered fuses. If inert fireworks are used for retail dis-
play purposes, then the application of these provisions would not be rele-
vant for the retail sales area as it would be treated as general merchandise.
