II. Minutes of Meeting

1. The Chair called the meeting to order at 11:05 a.m., Thursday, February 6, 2014.
He welcomed the members and guests, outlined the agenda for the meeting, and
requested Staff conduct a roll call of participants at the meeting.

2. Staff provided an update on the Committee membership, including pending
appointments for the March meeting of the NFPA Standards Council. The Committee
currently has 30 voting members (including one voting alternate member). In addition
to moving the voting alternate to a principal voting member status, the Chair and
Staff have also recommended appointment of the applicants from the US Beet Sugar
Association (joining the meeting as guests). Staff also provided a review of the new
NFPA Standards Process, demonstrating how Public Input is submitted, and
reviewing the schedule for preparing the Annual 2016 revision cycle revision for NFPA
61 (see attached copy of the A2016 schedule). As part of this review, Staff also spoke
about the role of the Combustible Dust Correlating Committee.

In addition, the Chair and Staff reviewed the status of NFPA 652, which has
requested a cycle change from F2014 to A2015 in order to finish all the Public
Comments and the Second Draft. In order to make the "yet to be developed" second
draft version of NFPA 652 available for review by the Agricultural Dust Committee, so
that appropriate Public Input can be considered based on NFPA 652, Staff will
prepare a Word draft of the proposed standard and distribute it to the Agricultural
Dust Committee. A draft based on the recent Second Draft meeting (January 2014)
will be made available by the end of February.

Staff reported that there are already 4 Public Inputs on file for NFPA 61; the deadline
for submittal of the proposed changes is July 7, 2014.

4. The Chair discussed how to approach this revision cycle, particularly the need to
evaluate whether NFPA 652 impacts NFPA 61 in any way. He recommended forming
several task groups - 6 specifically linked to chapters in the proposed NFPA 652. The
guidance for the task groups would be to compare NFPA 61 with NFPA 652 and
identify what topics covered by NFPA 652 are not currently in NFPA 61 and whether
they should be. The task group listing is shown below; those members of the
Committee not able to participate in this meeting but wishing to serve on one of the
task groups should contact the Chair or Staff to be included. The goal for the task
groups, where possible, is to develop any recommended changes to NFPA 61 prior to
the closing date for submitting Public Input. The task group listing is as follows:

5. The Committee discussed two other items as possible considerations for the
upcoming revision: whether specific provisions pertaining to the sugar industry
(refining and processing) should be added to NFPA 61 and whether "fabric silos"
should be included in the standard. The question surrounding requirements
applicable for the sugar industry carried forward from the prior revision cycle when a
draft chapter was considered by the Committee during the ROP phase. At this time,
there were no specific recommendations made, so the Committee did not propose
creating a separate task group to research whether requirements unique to operations
and processes within the sugar industry are necessary. As for the discussion
regarding fabric silos - several members of the Committee and Staff saw an online
discussion asking questions about the use of these silos and wanted to raise the issue
with the full Committee in case these storage silos should be included in the next
edition of the standard. Again, general sense from the discussions at this meeting
indicate there is no need identified to include requirements for use of fabric silos for
the materials covered by NFPA 61.

6. Next Meeting. The Committee discussed date and location for its First Draft
meeting based on the schedule outlined by the Staff. The Public Input closing date is
July 7 and the last date for the Committee to hold its meeting is September 12.
During this meeting, the Committee selected Denver as the location and a tentative
date of August 12 - 14, with the meeting opening at 8:00 am on the 12th and the
meeting adjourning by noon on the 14th.

[Staff Note: Following the meeting, Staff reviewed the plans from the meeting for
scheduling a First Draft meeting and realized that the dates proposed by the Committee
conflict with the NFPA Standards Council meeting in Quincy. NFPA has established a
policy for the purposes of staff, the Council, and committee members, not to schedule
meetings that conflict with the August Council meeting so that NFPA staff can be
available to meet with the Council as needed on agenda items, including appeals and

hearings related to the Annual cycle document approvals. Because the Council is
scheduled to meet the same dates as was proposed for the NFPA 61 First Draft meeting,
Staff has notified the Committee and the Chair and alternative dates are being selected.
Based on the results of the poll, the week of August 25 is receiving the most support as
the alternative, with the dates of 26 - 28 August being preferred (Tuesday - Thursday)
over a Monday - Wednesday schedule. I will confirm with the Chair and send the final
notice on rescheduling.]

7. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:30 p.m.,
Thursday, February 6, 2014.

Respectfully submitted,

G. R. Colonna, Staff Liaison
