There WERE NO changes to the ballot results after the circulation of the two Public Comment(s) received. According to 5.5(a) in the NFPA Regs, the final results show this TIA HAS NOT achieved the ¾ majority vote needed on both Question 1 (Correlation Issues) and Question 2 (Emergency Nature). 20 Eligible to Vote 2 Not Returned (Norton, Valois) Correlation Issues: Emergency Nature: 0 Abstentions 0 Abstentions 14 Agree (w/comment: Boswell) 7 Agree (w/comment: Black, Humm, Smith)4 Disagree (Berezowski, Humm,
Nielson, Van Keuren) 11 Disagree (Aiken, Berezowski,
Boswell, Fannin, Fraser, Grill, Mundy, Parrish, Reiswig, Schifiliti, Van Keuren)
There are two criteria necessary to pass ballot [(1) simple majority (2) affirmative ¾ vote]. Both questions must pass ballot in order to recommend that the Standards Council issues this TIA. (1) In all cases, an affirmative vote of at least a simple majority of the total membership eligible to vote is
required. [20 eligible ÷ 2 =10 + 1 = (11)]
(2) The number of affirmative votes needed to satisfy the ¾ requirement is 14.
(20 eligible to vote - 2 not returned - 0 abstentions = 18 × 0.75 = 13.5 = 14) An appeal relating to a proposed Tentative Interim Amendment shall be filed no later than 5 days after notice of the Technical Committee’s TIA FINAL ballot results are published in accordance with 1.6.2 (c) and 4.2.6. In the case that a Correlating Committee is also being balloted, appeals need to filed 5 days after the notice of the Correlating Committee TIA FINAL ballot results are published. Final ballot comments are attached for your review. Ballots received from alternate members are not included, unless the ballot from the principal member was not received.
