6. The Committee acted on the public comments submitted on NFPA 120 and developed Committee comments for additional changes on Wednesday. Once the ROC balloting is completed, the Report on Comments (ROC) will contain the proposed Committee actions.
7. Old Business: The Committee reviewed diagrams on water spray protection for conveyor belts in NFPA 15 versus the sprinkler protection strategies in NFPA 13. They also reviewed pictures from underground mines with examples of water spray system applications and valves. The Committee indicated that they have issues with NFPA 13 regarding piping and hangers. The Committee remarked that it is hard to find older editions of NFPA codes and standards on the standards online catalog. You can contact Martha Curtis if you are having this problem.
8. New Business: Alex Smith gave an update on underground conveyor belt fire resistance. He encouraged Committee members to go to the MSHA website to see the expert panel report and the new fire suppression fire tunnel that can be used for research. NIOSH is evaluating new technologies for fire protection for conveyor belts and mining equipment.
