The National Fire Protection Association has announced a provisional approval of the NFPA Building Code^TM project. Expected to be issued in 2002, the code will be part of NFPA's full set of standards for the built environment, rounding out its Consensus Codes^TM set.

All interested parties of NFPA's Standards Council should submit applications for committee memberships. Future technical committees include Building Code Technical Correlating Committee; Occupancy Rules; Structure and Construction; Materials; Building Systems; and Fire and Life Safety. (Current NFPA Safety to Life committee members need not re-apply, unless they would like to participate in other areas.)
