I did a search of the 1999 NEC and this is the closest I can find. 410-56, (c) Isolated Ground Receptacles. Receptacles intended for the reduction of electrical noise (electromagnetic interference) as permitted in Section 250-146(d) shall be identified by an orange triangle located on the face of the receptacle. Receptacles so identified shall be used only with grounding conductors that are isolated in accordance with Section 250-146(d). Isolated ground receptacles installed in nonmetallic boxes shall be covered with a nonmetallic faceplate.

Just did some reading on the National Electric Code online and cannot find this rule anywhere. What gives?
