Public Hearing
Date: January 27, 2025
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Office of the State Fire Marshal, 1429 Rock Quarry Road, Suite 105, Raleigh, NC 27610
Reason for Proposed Temporary Action: Pursuant to Section 1F.4 of S.L. 2024-57, the North Carolina Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) proposes to adopt 11 NCAC 05A .1001 under temporary procedures to assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency's efforts to install transportable temporary housing units (TTHUs) to house displaced survivors of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina. FEMA's TTHUs are installed by contractors in accordance with each unit's manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable State building codes. However, FEMA's contractors are faced with a broad range of geographical challenges and other factors that make it difficult for them to set up TTHUs - particularly with respect to utility service connections (i.e., electrical wiring and plumbing) and foundations (i.e., setup, piers, footing, etc.) - in accordance with the North Carolina State Building Code. These challenges in turn make it very difficult for local inspectors to consistently and uniformly inspect these structures for compliance with the North Carolina State Building Code.
This rule allows alternative methods for installing TTHUs to enable FEMA to provide temporary housing safely and effectively.
Comment Procedures: Comments from the public shall be directed to: Kyle Heuser, 1429 Rock Quarry Road, Suite 105, Raleigh, NC 27610; phone (919) 647-0100; email OSFM.Rulemaking@ncdoi.gov. The comment period begins December 27, 2024 and ends January 31, 2025.
