standards revision process are the First and Second Draft meetings
with the resultant First and Second Draft Reports (FDR and SDR).
Actions taken on Public Comments during the Second Draft
meetings are documented in the Second Draft Report. Access to
this report is from the NEC Document Information Page at the
same location as the First Draft Report link. Access to and
navigating through the Second Draft Report is done in the same
manner as in the First Draft Report. The primary acronyms used in
the SDR are PC (public comment) and SR (second revision). A SCR is
a correlation revision made by the NEC Correlating Committee. A
“Global” FR, SR or SCR is a change that occurs in multiple sections
of the NEC.
