7 TECHNICAL COMMITTEE LETTER BALLOT PROPOSED TENTATIVE INTERIM AMENDMENT LOG NO To Revise of the 2014 and Proposed 2017 Editions of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code Question 1: I agree with the TECHNICAL MERITS of the Proposed TIA to revise section AGREE X DISAGREE* ABSTAIN* _I feel the suggested change makes the statement ambiguous, as in (B) it is stated that Fiber Optic Cables shall be installed in compliance with Parts 1 and V of article 770. There are no specifics as to what could modify Chapter 7 requirements. There should be more specific information in Article 650 as to what requirements can modify or supersede Chapter 7 articles. Question 2: I agree that the subject is of an EMERGENCY NATURE. AGREE X DISAGREE* ABSTAIN* _I do not feel that this request meets the criteria for an emergency Nature as stated in Section 5.4.

10 TECHNICAL COMMITTEE LETTER BALLOT PROPOSED TENTATIVE INTERIM AMENDMENT LOG NO To Revise of the 2014 and Proposed 2017 Editions of NFPA 70, National Electrical Code Question 1: I agree with the TECHNICAL MERITS of the Proposed TIA to revise section X AGREE DISAGREE* ABSTAIN* The wording of 90.3 is clear : Conditions of installation which are not specifically addressed in an Article such as 650, must still be complied with; conditions which are specifically addressed are then intended to override other Section requirements. This TIA wording restates that fact. Question 2: I agree that the subject is of an EMERGENCY NATURE. X AGREE DISAGREE* ABSTAIN* The reason for the TIA is that an AHJ does not agree about the wording of This TIA amounts to a formal interpretation of existing Code.
