Alternative Fuels Program Technical Committee (AFPTC)

(Review of several NFPA standards to modify the 2015 editions of the IFC and IFGC for alternative fuels filling stations)

The AFPTC finished their review of the codes on August 30, 2016. They presented their changes to the OUBCC on September 13, 2016. After the presentation, the OUBCC voted to accept it with a few modifications. Draft rules were written based on the presentation and comments were received by an OUBCC commissioner on those rules so the AFPTC will meet one final time on October 31, 2016 to go over those proposed modifications and make a recommendation on each to the OUBCC at the meeting on November 15, 2016. Below is the presentation and the public comment forms reviewed by the committee.
