What is the Second Draft Report?

• A. The First Draft Report
• B. The Report of the responsible Committees
• C. The Public Input Record
• D. The Final Ballot Summary

Answer: (B)

In NFPA standards development, the Second Draft Report is the official document that captures the committees’ revised draft after they’ve reviewed the initial proposals and considered public input. It is the Report of the responsible Committees, showing the changes they propose to adopt, the new or revised language, and the rationale for those changes. This is the stage where the standard is refined before the next ballot cycle, and it reflects how public comments were addressed. It isn’t the initial set of proposals (the First Draft Report), nor is it merely the collected public comments (the Public Input Record), and it isn’t the final ballot results (the Final Ballot Summary).
