The meeting was called to order at 8:00 AM on September 10, 2015 by Technical Committee
Chair pro Tempore Dwight Havens. 2. Attendees introduced themselves. The Technical Committee roster was corrected as needed. 3. The Minutes of the last meeting (June 2013, San Antonio TX) were unanimously approved as
corrected; the meeting was chaired by Dwight Havens, in the absence of Pete Willse. 4. Technical Committee Chair had nothing to report. 5. Staff Liaison Janna Shapiro reported on the following:
Scopes of Technical Correlating Committee and Technical Committees. The proposed amendments to the Committee scope statement were agreed upon. The Staff Liaison was directed to ballot the new scope statement.
Membership Status. The Staff Liaison reported on recent changes to committee membership and on the balance of interests on the committees.
Document Revision Schedule for NFPA 30-2018. The Staff Liaison reviewed the revision schedule for the Annual 2017 revision schedule.
6. Technical Committee member Dick Kraus reported on activities at the recent meeting of the
International Fire Code Committee. 7. The Technical Committee reviewed and took action on all public inputs to amend those chapters of
the 2015 edition of NFPA 30 that are under this Technical Committee’s jurisdiction. These included Public Inputs to Chapters 17, 18, 19, and 29, as well as two Global Inputs (low pressure dispensing containers; referenced standards). These resulted in 4 First Revisions and 1 Committee Inputs. With respect to the Global Input on low pressure dispensing containers, the Technical Committee determined that these were beyond the scope of NFPA 30 and should be dealt with under another Technical Committee project. The Staff Liaison was directed to proceed with the First Draft ballot.
8. There was no recent correspondence requiring the Technical Correlating Committee’s attention. 9. Under “Old Business”:
- The Technical Committee discussed the value of defining two terms: “liquids in process” and “staged liquids”. - The Technical Committee decided to establish a Task Group to draft a proposal for consideration at the 2nd Draft meeting to eliminate a conflict between the quantities allowed in Subsection 18.5.4 for incidental storage and use and the maximum allowable quantities given in Chapter 9.
10. There was no new business requiring the Technical Committee’s attention. 11. The Technical Committee deferred to the Correlating Committee on scheduling the 2nd Draft
Meeting. 12. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 PM.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment
Coordinate quantity limits for incidental operations (potentially open use of liquids) with the storage maximum allowable quantities (MAQs) in NFPA 30 Chapter 9, and the MAQ in fire codes (including IFC). IFC open use scenarios are considered to be comparable to the NFPA 30 incidental operations scenarios. The prior quantity limits in 18.5.4.1 potentially permitted significantly greater quantities of Class I liquids in incidental operational areas than permitted in Chapter 9 for storage areas, which are generally closed containers.

Public Comment No. 28-NFPA 30-2016 [ Section No. 19.7.2.2.2 ]
19.7.2.2.2
Nonmetallic cooking oil storage tanks shall meet the following requirements:Tanks shall be listed for usewith cooking oil, unless otherwise approved.Tanks in accordance with UL 2152, Outline of Investigation forSpecial Purpose NonMetalic Containers and Tanks for Specific Combustible or Noncombustible Liquids. Nonmetalic tanks shall not exceed 200 gal (757 L) per tank.
Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment
Public Comment – The committee raised 2 points at the 1st Draft meeting, which we have responses to, for re-consideration of the original proposal (PI#79) to reference UL2152 in the Code body under 9.7.2.2:
The standard has not yet been published - Since discussion of this proposal at the first draft meeting, UL2152 was published on October 2, 2015 so is no longer a draft document, and is available for members to verify the comprehensive tank requirements developed in collaboration with this technical committee during the last Code cycle to support revisions to the new Ch 19.7.
The proposal would eliminate the opportunity for other listings - First, there is no other standard currently available to address the specific use of nonmetallic tanks for the storage of new or used cooking oil in restaurants or similar commercial food preparing applications having engineered transfer systems. We worked with industry, the fire service and this committee to develop the UL2152 requirements, and one manufacturer has already been Listed to them. Second, UL has a number of product safety standards adopted in the NFPA family of codes, and this does not eliminate the opportunity for other product certifiers, who are competitors of UL, to test to UL standards and certify products, which is done on a regular basis. Nor does it prohibit anyone else to propose addition of another standard with an equivalent level of safety, should it exist in the future.

Statement of Problem and Substantiation for Public Comment
Public Input No. 79-NFPA 30-2015 [Section 19.7.2.2] was rejected by the Committee because the standard referenced, UL 2152, had not been issued at the time. This standard has since been issued. This Public Comment proposes that the language from PI-79 be reinstated, as doing so will simplify the code enforcers ability to determine compliance to construction and performance criteria listed in the code.

19.7.2.6.3: Electric immersion heaters are the source of frequent plastic tank ignitions. Thecommittee recognized this with the development of the criteria and intended to exclude the use ofimmersion heaters in non-metallic tanks.
19.7.3.2 Clarifies the application of the code with respect to permissible means of securing tanks.The change allows for additional means of securing the tank as proposed by PI 35.
