Going by memory (which can be dangerous) it was the feeling of the committee (NFPA 13 SSD) that this information was not correct based on recent fire losses. Since the committee did not feel the design parameters were appropriate, they withdrew the information. I can not answer why

No, but that is another committee. NFPA 430 operates independently of NFPA 13. Just as any one else, we can suggest changes to their standard but if we copy it into NFPA 13, we can not change it. It is their information. John John August Denhardt, P.E. Strickland Fire Protection Incorporated
