New low-dose oral contraceptive YAZ launched in Europe
24/4 dosing regimen has shown to reduce hormone fluctuations
Berlin – Bayer Schering Pharma´s YAZ® will be available across Europe as of September 2008. YAZ® is the first oral contraceptive containing 3 mg of the unique progestin drospirenone combined with 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol in a new dosing regimen of 24 days of active hormone tablets followed by 4 days of hormone-free tablets. With this new regimen, a new pill pack is started immediately on the day after the last hormone-free tablet was taken. In the U.S., where YAZ® has been available since 2006, women´s overall satisfaction with this new pill is very high and YAZ® is the fastest growing branded oral contraceptive in the U.S.
"Taking active pills for three additional days can result in a reduction of hormonal fluctuations which often occur with conventional 21/7 pills," said Phil Smits, M.D., Head of Women's Healthcare at Bayer Schering Pharma AG. "Women who usually experience hormone withdrawal symptoms such as headaches or cramps during the pill-free week should benefit from the unique features of drospirenone delivered in the innovative YAZ® regimen."
YAZ will be available in Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Alpine countries and Scandinavia as from beginning of September 2008 closely followed by Portugal, Finland, Ukraine, Baltics and others. More European countries will launch YAZ® by the end of the year or first and second quarters of 2009.
Bayer Schering Pharma submitted the Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) indication for YAZ® in Europe in July 2008 and will also submit the acne indication to the European Health Authorities later this year.
In several major countries and regions throughout the world, including the U.S., Latin America, and Asia-Pacific, YAZ® is already registered in three different indications: oral contraception, treatment of the emotional and physical symptoms of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and treatment of moderate acne in women seeking contraception.
About YAZ® Drospirenone, the unique progestin contained in YAZ®, has both anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic properties. It counteracts the water retention often seen when taking estrogens, thereby reducing the "bloated" feeling that many women experience especially when starting on the pill. Clinical studies have also shown that because of the anti-androgenic properties, pills containing drospirenone can help to improve women's skin condition. Extending the treatment period of active pills from 21 to 24 days per cycle means that the period of the therapeutic effects of drospirenone is prolonged by 3 days, leading to a more pronounced effect of drospirenone. In addition, with a half-life of 30 hours, the beneficial effects of drospirenone extend into the pill-free period.

The FinFET device architecture, which is currently a major trend in advanced node process technologies, has advantages such as high drivability and low leakage current. However, it has significant manufacturing constraints—including the fact that the devices can be placed along only a single direction and cannot be rotated. The layout design must satisfy many requirements that have not existed in previous technologies, and this work becomes very time-consuming for layout designers.
We heard a story about these thorny problems—efforts to construct the design environment for FINFET devices, the solutions built by Toshiba Memory Corporation—from Mr. Kazuhiro Oda, Chief Specialist at Toshiba Memory Corporation. Mr. Oda has made many breakthroughs for building several design environment infrastructures. Hiroshi Ishikawa, Senior Engineering Manager at Cadence, recently interviewed Mr. Oda.
Mr. Kazuhiro OdaChief Specialist, System Core Technology Development Dept. 2, System Technology Research & Development Center, Toshiba Memory Corporation
—FinFET became the primary device structure upward of 16nm / 14nm. How has your company's design style at your site been affected since the FinFET technology was selected?
Oda: Increasing the complexity of the design rules affected the productivity of the layout-creation phase.
FinFET device technology only allows one to change device sizes discretely by number of fins. We made a guideline and standardized the transistor length so that it fell into two sizes, and the transistor width fell into one size. As a result, we successfully simplified the layout work, since abutting devices was easily done.
FinFET devices can carry larger current per area than planer CMOS. Although it is good that the device can drive larger currents, problems such as electro-migration (EM) and the self-heating-effect (SHE) often occurs around the device.
However, we avoided unnecessary iterations by using our guidelines and the design checks within the internal utility programs at the design phase.
Until now, we had directed the logic designers to perform the logic simulations with the Cadence Spectre Circuit Simulator while estimating the parasitic capacitance and resistance for the projects. We would forward the data to the layout development side. By doing so, we completed the layout design relatively easily. However, this was not the ultimate—or perfect—solution. The problems we observed were inconsistencies of the estimation of the parasitic capacitance and resistance by each engineer.
To help to resolve this problem, a Cadence application engineer helped with the insertion of dummy cells to mitigate the SHE in the layout. Using the Virtuoso Layout Suite for Electrically Aware Design (EAD) and this utility, we successfully completed our design on time.
― In addition to EM and SHE's, what kind of challenges do you foresee in future design work with advanced node technologies?
Oda: We cannot ignore the delay of routing channels due to increasing minimization. A design correction is inevitably required for the circuit to operate at high speeds. To minimize the work for correction, I feel a design flow with parasitic-aware design (PAD) and EAD will be essential.
Also, for routing, with the self-aligned double patterning (SADP) technology, a wire cannot be "bent". Width-spacing patterns (WSP) are a key to grow layout designer efficiency. Understandably, by defining a routing grid that does not violate the design rules, the time for the design rule corrections after routing can be improved. It is important, I believe, to migrate from the stage of correcting new errors quickly into the stage of building a system that does not allow the creation of errors.
All errors in a design need to be fixed at some stage. So, as we all know, correcting them as they occur, instead of deferring the fixes until later, can be effective for reducing the development period. However, what I suggest is one step ahead: build an environment so that the errors cannot be created in the first place; that is, realizing a design without errors.
―What kind of challenges throughout design flow did you find when you used the technology with FinFET devices?
Oda: This is pertinent to the design flow with not only FinFET-based designs but also any advanced-node technologies. We are no longer able to disconnect the design flow between the logic design stage and the layout design stage. A logic design engineer (front-end engineer) and a layout design engineer (back-end engineer) need to collaborate closely to complete the design. But this is quite challenging. For that reason, it is indispensable to make decent guidelines. Also, it is essential to have a mechanism, constraint-driven layout, which the Virtuoso platform offers, that stores and delivers the mandatory requirements in a logic design to a layout designer.
Generally speaking, I think the efficiency improvement for the entire design process is extremely difficult without considering the logic design the final layout. This is why Virtuoso ICADV12.3's front-end (FE) through back-end (BE) total solution is indispensable for advanced node designs.
―Finally, do you have any comments for Cadence?
Oda: For now, I hope Cadence continues to develop tools that make the engineers who are actually designing comment with astonishment, "Aha, we wanted these features!"

Proceedings from a CME symposium held at the 2018 ASCO-SITC Clinical Immuno-Oncology Symposium. Featuring perspectives from Drs Matthew D Hellmann, Corey J Langer, David R Spigel and Heather Wakelee. (Video Program)
This activity is intended for medical, radiation and thoracic oncologists and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of lung cancer.
The past several years have seen an explosion in the emergence of new potential therapies that leverage the natural ability of the human body to attack and treat cancer. Known as immune-mediated therapies or cancer immunotherapies, these promising treatments are taking center stage at medical conferences and generating excitement all over the world. Perhaps the most exciting arena in this regard has been the development and assessment of a class of checkpoint inhibitors that inhibit PD-1 or PD-L1. To date, studies with these agents have demonstrated a high degree of activity with limited toxicity in the metastatic and, more recently, locally advanced settings. The availability of these novel compounds has rapidly upended traditional therapeutic sequencing and caused both shifts and rifts in clinical management algorithms, and a number of controversies and questions remain with regard to the current application of these agents in clinical practice.
These video proceedings from a CME symposium held during the 2018 ASCO-SITC Clinical Immuno-Oncology Symposium feature discussions with leading researchers with an expertise in lung cancer. By providing information on the latest research developments and their potential application to routine practice, this activity is designed to assist medical, radiation and thoracic oncologists and other healthcare providers with the optimal incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors in lung cancer.
Research To Practice is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Got notice yesterday that my IC hearing has finally been rescheduled. 😒 It's gonna fall right in the middle between my most recent WC doctor appointment and the one scheduled for next month. I've gotta get two of my WC meds filled later today (I'm not gonna rehash how that normally goes) but with the hearing now on the schedule again, I wouldn't be surprised if there's even more trouble.
The past few months I've had to pay out-of-pocket to be able to get my meds on schedule, and then just wait and hope that the WC insurer would pay me back. 😐 I feel bad for the folks who are in the same situation as me but aren't able to do that. And all this crap each month… that's despite nearly every previous IC hearing over the past decade being found in my favor. 🤷🏻♂😒 (Making "winning" somewhat of an inaccurate term.)
That's the thing, you can "win" over and over again, but they can come at you again for those same things, repeatedly, after a certain amount of time elapses. It's literally a never-ending process, if they want it to be. 😟 No emotional investment from their side, but it can sure wear down the injured worker. I know I don't mean this, but I'm almost "ready to lose" just to be done with it. Can't quit now though…
Jim and Adam are coming to town this evening, and they're gonna pick up Brad so we can all meet up for dinner somewhere. 🙂 Jim lives so far away now, in the past few years I've only seen him probably a couple times each year, so (especially since he's coming all the way down here) I'm really hoping that I can make it. Doesn't help that I fell asleep early yesterday and have therefore been awake since 3a today. 🙄😏
It's after 5a now, it doesn't appear that I'll be falling back to sleep, so that means I'll likely need a nap sometime in the early afternoon. 😴 Heh… being old and broken sure has a way of changing how you plan for things and recover from them afterwards. 👨🏻🦳 Thankfully this has been an okay week re: my neck, so with any luck that will remain true tonight. (Unlike the 2018 Sweet Corn Festival when we all met up… 😳)
I was an absolute mess that day. 🥺 Dealing not just with my neck, shoulder, and some horrible random lower back pain – but also, being right before my thyroid cancer surgery, I had like 1/10th of the energy that I'd normally have when it came to getting around the place. I could tell by how they acted that I must have appeared like I was on Death's door. 🤕😷😑☠ So, while things aren't perfect now by any means, they're at least better than that, eh? So I don't wanna miss it tonight. Gotta make the moments count.

The Next Chapter
New librarian makes progress on updating books in the library.
January 2, 2018
Following the start of the new school year, Sydney Stockton, Librarian sets out to revamp the library at Rider High School. It's all a part of her 10 year plan. While some of the books are from when the school opened in 1961 and have literary value, Stockton said they aren't being touched. In fact some of them haven't been checked out since 2002.
As part of Stockton's plan, the first books to be replaced are fiction. However, this year her focus is on filling the gaps. These gaps may take at least a year to fill due to order restrictions, which limit to one order per year. This makes it so Stockton has to specialize on what type of books to focus on. Part of the struggle is while she is working towards replacing the old books, she is missing out on ordering books that are being released at the present time.
"Books that may be popular now, may not be popular when I'm actually able to order them," Stockton said.
As for the old books that aren't needed anymore, they aren't simply being thrown away. The library has teamed up with Friends of the Library to donate these books to hurricane victims across the southern coast of the U.S. and to churches around town.
"I'm glad we don't have to just throw away these books," Stockton said. "We will be able to share their literary value with those who need it."
The books being sent are being gathered together by Stockton before they find their new libraries .
However, these books won't leave empty space for long. The replacements of these books are planned to only be ten years old, or optimistically less. By the end of the semester, Stockton plans for over 400 books to arrive to help fill the shelves up once more.

Shinjini Das, "The Go-Getter Girl" herself chats w/ us about being a Go-Getter. The basics are to start building action plans for goals, being proactive daily and embracing action, as well as the need to embrace ourselves and live authentically with purpose. This all comes at the intersection of our talents, passions, and goals working towards the legacy we want to create. Shinjini also talks with us about the bumpy landscape of identity in America, and how she wants to enable women, and men alike, to discover their own identities as opposed to yielding to societal, cultural, or familial pressures to "fit in" to some preconceived notion.

There is a flyway along the Mississippi River for bald eagles, running from Minnesota to Louisiana. From late December to early March, they hang out a bit upstream from STL, around Alton, Illinois, (birthplace of Miles Davis) and then further up the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. We went a long way up and down the river and didn't see any except this semi-domesticated one in the Alton Visitor's Center. The bird was named Liberty, apt enough for current American culture.
Sorry for no post yesterday, I've been dragging. I've hardly been able to talk for more than a week, Since Tuesday I've had a deep, mid-chest cough hacking up mucus. I thought I had bronchitis and it would go away. Carolyn Crowe, RN, my personal guardian angel, reminded me that at my age it could be pneumonia and I should get checked. "But it's your body," she concluded. I have to take such statements seriously. If I didn't and something bad happened, she would have to clean up the mess.
So I went to what in this country we call an urgent care office. Son of a gun, I do have pneumonia. They prescribed an antibiotic, an expectorant and an asthma-style inhaler. As the prez says, we'll see.

This is probably my favorite Thomas Hardy novel, and based on the preview, it looks like it won't disappoint. Hans Matheson looks fetching indeed, even if he is the baddie. If anyone can figure out when PBS will see fit to air it here, please let us know!
Here's an article from the Guardian about a 17-year-old arsonist destroying the film's priceless period costumes. He should be flogged soundly.

Getting Down To Basics with Heating
Advantages of Heating System Maintenance
Debates concerning the heat pumps and the furnace have been there for a long time. The arguments of which is better than the other have not been settled. Some arguing that the furnace is better than the heat pump and vice versa. In general, there is a uniqueness in the features of each of these systems. The choice of the heating system depends on many factors for your house or the home. It also depends on the place you live. People living in countries with mild winters can for instance be recommended to use heat pumps. On the other hand, the furnaces can be used in countries that have harsher winters.
In cold and hot weathers, heating systems can be very important. You should therefore choose a heating system that effectively meets your needs. Heating systems services are offered by many companies. However, it is important to choose a reputable company. For example, for people living in Wake Forest, you can search for the Best Heating Systems in Wake Forest to get more information. This will provide you with the information about thre companies that offer such services as installation of heat systems and heat system maintenance. There are many advantages associate with heat system maintenance. These advantages area as follows.
You improve the reliability of the system when you properly maintain it. This is because it is prevented from untimely breakdown. Breakdown may cause such things as downtime affecting your other important operations.

A lifespan of a system can be extended through proper maintenance. This is because your system is prevented from numerous damages and repairs. When n you have so many repairs and damages on your system, it may end up in a complete breakdown.
You enjoy a lot of comfort with a well maintained heating system. This is because it does not produce excessive heat than it is required. The noise produced by the poorly maintained heating system may make the room uncomfortable for the occupants.
Poorly maintained heating system may have dirt and dust inside it. The working of such a system becomes strenuous. More energy is therefore consumed by such a system. A well maintained system uses a standard amount of energy thus reducing the cost of the energy.
In conclusion, some of the most important heating system equipment are the furnace and heating pumps. It is also important to ensure a good maintenance of the system as ii improves both the functionality and the comfort.

Fire Department
Notice of Extension of Time to Comment on Proposed Amendments to Fire Department Rule
3 RCNY 401-06 (Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide, Checklist and Notices)
As a result of the present Coronavirus emergency, no public hearings are presently being conducted on proposed rules. It is not known at this time when they will resume.
The Fire Department also recognizes that the emergency has disrupted ordinary business operations.
Accordingly, to ensure that the public and affected building owners have an opportunity to review this proposed rule, the Fire Department is extending the time to comment on the proposed amendments to Fire Department rule.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the time for submitting comments on the above proposed rule amendments is hereby extended from April 16, 2020, to FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2020. Comments may be submitted through the NYC Rules website, by email or by mail. Persons wishing to make a verbal statement can submit comments in standard video and audio formats, subject to size limitations, by emailing them to the email address below.
Any questions may be directed to the Code Development Unit of the Bureau of Fire Prevention by emailing email@example.com.

Statement of Basis and Purpose of Proposed Rule
The Fire Department proposes this rule to implement the provisions of Local Law No. 103 of 2019 regarding hurricane evacuation notices and to require apartment building owners to periodically inspect the fire safety notices on dwelling unit doors.
Hurricane Evacuation Notices
Local Law 103 requires apartment building owners (Group R-2 buildings and occupancies) within a hurricane evacuation zone, as designated by Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management (now New York City Emergency Management or NYCEM) to post a hurricane evacuation notice in a common area of the building. The notice is intended to inform building occupants of the current hurricane evacuation zone designation for the building and the means by which building residents can determine the closest hurricane evacuation centers, namely by calling 311 or viewing the online Hurricane Evacuation Zone finder operated by NYCEM. The law provides that "[s]uch notice shall be in such form as prescribed by the commissioner by rule and shall be posted within a common area of the building and such other locations as set forth in the rules."
Fire Department rule 3 RCNY §401-06 sets forth emergency preparedness requirements for apartment buildings. The proposed rule would amend Section 401-06 to require the posting of the hurricane evacuation notice in a conspicuous location in the building lobby at street level, either near the main building entrance, in the mailbox area or by the elevators or main stairwell.
The proposed rule prescribes that the notice take the form of the hurricane evacuation notice posted on NYCEM's website and that it be affixed to the wall by adhesive or in a frame, displayed in an enclosed, locked bulletin board, or otherwise durably and securely posted.
Fire Safety Notices
Fire and emergency preparedness notices (entitled "Fire Safety Notices") are required to be posted on the interior side of dwelling unit doors. The posting of this notice has been required for almost 20 years.
The Fire Department does not ordinarily inspect dwelling units and therefore does not have a means to enforce replacement of missing or damaged notices. When it has found missing or damaged notices, owners have maintained that the rule does not clearly require prompt replacement of the notices.
To address these issues, the Fire Department proposes to amend Section 401-06 to require building owners to inspect each dwelling unit at least once every two years to confirm the presence of the notice, and to replace missing or damaged notices whenever the owner or the owner's managing agent or building staff become aware of a missing or damaged notice. In apartment buildings with a cooperative or condominium form of ownership, the cooperative or condominium association board of directors shall cause such inspections to be conducted, and, if the notice is missing or damaged, require the apartment owner to post the replacement notice provided by such board.
This proposed rule was not included in the Fire Department's FY2020 regulatory agenda because the need for it was not anticipated.
Statement of Basis and Purpose of Final Rule
The Fire Department adopts this rule to implement the provisions of Local Law Nos. 114 and 115 of 2018.
Local Law 114 directed the Fire Department to develop, in consultation with the Department of Emergency Management (NYCEM) and the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD), an emergency planning checklist. This checklist is to be provided to apartment building residents, including individuals with limited mobility or other disabilities or special needs, to assist in the development of individualized emergency evacuation plans. It informs residents about the availability of evacuation assistance devices and other means of evacuation. It also outlines recommended measures that individuals with disabilities or limited mobility can proactively take to prepare to safely evacuate a building in case of emergency, such as identifying neighbors who can provide assistance in an emergency.
The Emergency Preparedness and Evacuation Planning Checklist ("Checklist") developed by the Fire Department, in consultation with NYCEM and MOPD, is designed to complement the New York City Apartment Building Emergency Preparedness Guide ("Guide") adopted effective October 1, 2018, and required to be distributed by apartment building owners to apartment building residents and staff by April 30, 2019. The form and content of the Guide and the requirements for its distribution are set forth in Fire Department rule 3 RCNY §401-06.
The rule amends Section 401-06 to set forth the form and content of the Checklist and, in accordance with Local Law 114, requires its distribution in the same manner as the Guide. Following the initial distribution of the Checklist, it is to be distributed with each subsequent Guide distribution. The Checklist would also be posted on the Fire Department's website, with the Guide and other emergency preparedness forms and notices.
Local Law 115 directed the Fire Department to require owners of multiple dwellings to post a notice in conspicuous locations indicating that those escaping a fire should close all doors behind them.
When escaping a fire, an apartment resident and the members of their household should close all doors behind themselves, including all doors within the apartment through which they exit. At all other times, public hallway corridor doors and all stairwell doors should be kept closed (except, of course, when using it to enter or exit the apartment or floor).
Some stairwell doors, and some public hallway corridor doors serving as fire and smoke barriers, are held open by a magnetic device that releases when a smoke detector on the floor activates. Such doors will close automatically, provided that there is nothing blocking them. Such doors do not have to be kept closed, but once they are released by the fire alarm system they should be allowed to close.
The rule establishes the design and content of a "Close the Door" notice and require its posting on the public hallway side of stairwell doors. The notice is to read:
In a Fire, Close All Doors Behind You!
Keep Fire and Smoke Out of Building Hallways and Stairs.
Keep Apartment and Stairwell Doors Closed at All Other Times.
Protect Your Neighbors and Your Home!
The message is visually reinforced by an image of a door ajar, with flames behind it. The final rule includes the image to be reproduced and both versions of the sign, in color; slightly modifies the size of the sign and image; and clarifies the lettering and background requirements. The final rule also clarifies that the notice must be maintained by promptly replacing any missing or damaged postings.
Public Comment and the Fire Department's Response
The Fire Department received limited public comment on the proposed rule. The comments focused on the need for the emergency preparedness/evacuation checklist and the manner of its distribution, and the placement of the Close The Door notice.
The Fire Department responds to the public comments as follows:
· Comment: The checklist is unnecessary and should be distributed only to those persons who express an interest in receiving it.
Response: Local Law 114 required distribution of the checklist to apartment building residents ("residents in group R-2 occupancies") "in conjunction with fire code emergency preparedness requirements for apartment buildings." The distribution set forth in the rule is in compliance with the Local Law mandate.
· Comment: Requiring distribution of the checklist with the New York City Apartment Building Emergency Preparedness Guide, which is a large item, would increase postage costs on building owners. The checklist instead should be distributed with the annual fire and emergency preparedness bulletin.
Response: Local Law 114 specifically provides that thechecklist be "included in the emergency preparedness guides required by the fire code to be distributed to the residents of such building." The checklist is intended to be read with the Apartment Building Emergency Preparedness Guide and the accompanying Building Information Section and accordingly it would not accomplish the purpose intended by the City Council in enacting Local Law 114 to have it regularly distributed on a different distribution cycle, with the annual bulletin.
The initial distribution of the checklist will coincide with the distribution of the first annual fire and emergency preparedness bulletin, but this is solely because of the timing of the rule. In future distribution cycles, the three items – Guide, Building Information Section and checklist – should be mailed together.
· Comment: The distribution of the checklist should be put off until 2021.
Response: The Fire Department has determined to require the initial distribution of the checklist (for the 2019/2020 cycle) by April 30, 2020. Six months is a reasonable amount of time to arrange a mailing.
· Comment: Posting of the Close the Door notice in the lobby mailbox or other common area is not necessary given that the signs will be posted on the stairwell doors. The lobby is already cluttered with many other required signs.
Response: The Fire Department has determined that the posting of the Close the Door notice on stairwell doors is adequate to accomplish the purposes of the local law. The lobby posting requirement has been omitted from the rule.
The Fire Department proposes this rule to implement the provisions of Local Law Nos. 114 and 115 of 2018.
Local Law 114 directed the Fire Department to develop, in consultation with the Department of Emergency Management (NYCEM) and the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD), an emergency planning checklist. This checklist is to be provided to apartment building residents, including individuals with limited mobility or other disabilities or special needs, to assist in the development of individualized emergency evacuation plans. It will inform residents about the availability of evacuation assistance devices and other means of evacuation. It will also outline recommended measures that individuals with disabilities or limited mobility can proactively take to prepare to safely evacuate a building in case of emergency, such as identifying neighbors who can provide assistance in an emergency.
The proposed rule would amend Section 401-06 to set forth the form and content of the Checklist and, in accordance with Local Law 114, require its distribution in the same manner as the Guide. Following the initial distribution of the Checklist, it would be distributed with each subsequent Guide distribution. The Checklist would also be posted on the Fire Department's website, with the Guide and other emergency preparedness forms and notices.
The proposed rule would establish the design and content of a "Close the Door" notice and require its posting in building lobbies and on the public hallway side of stairwell doors. The proposed notice would read:
The message would be visually reinforced by an image of a door ajar, with flames behind it.
New text is underlined. Text proposed to be deleted is [bracketed].
"Shall" and "must" denote mandatory requirements and may be used interchangeably in the rules of this department, unless otherwise specified or unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
Since 2000, New York City has required apartment building owners to print and distribute residential fire safety guides to apartment building residents and building staff, and to post fire safety notices on the inside of dwelling unit entrance doors and in building lobbies. The purpose of these fire safety guides and notices is to:
· promote fire safety and fire prevention in apartment buildings;
· educate residents and building staff about the design and construction of their building, including construction type, fire protection systems and means of egress; and
· outline emergency procedures to assist them in the event that they are confronted by a fire and need to determine what action to take to protect themselves and their families.
The format, content, distribution and posting requirements for the fire safety guide and notices were incorporated into the 2008 Fire Code (in FC408.9) and in Fire Department rule 3 RCNY §408‑02, which the rule now amends.
New Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide
The 2014 Fire Code comprehensively revised Chapter 4, which governs emergency planning and preparedness, and moved the fire safety guide and notice requirements to FC401.6. The 2014 Fire Code expanded the scope of the guide to encompass non-fire emergencies, such as medical emergencies, severe weather emergencies, power outages, hazardous materials releases, and terrorism-related incidents.
This rule would implement the 2014 Fire Code by replacing the existing Fire Safety Guide with a new Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide ("FEP Guide") entitled "New York City Apartment Building Emergency Preparedness Guide" (Appendix 1 to the renumbered §401‑06). Like its predecessor, the FEP Guide consists of two parts. Part I is the Building Information Section, a form completed by the owner for each building indicating the building's construction, fire protection systems, means of egress and other information specific to the building for which it is prepared. The rule would not substantially change the existing content requirements for this obligation, except to require the owner to indicate whether there is an emergency voice communication system in the building.
Part II of the FEP Guide is designed to educate all building occupants about ways to prepare for emergencies, prevent fires, and protect themselves from various fire and non-fire emergencies. In addition, the FEP Guide emphasizes emergency preparedness planning for persons with functional or access needs who will need assistance if they must evacuate the building in an emergency. During most non-fire emergencies, the elevator is available to evacuate persons unable to walk down stairs without assistance, and in modern buildings of non‑combustible construction, all residents are generally advised to shelter in place during the fire. The Guide explains the importance of developing an individualized evacuation plan and a network of supports who can assist persons with functional or access needs in the event of an emergency in which they need to evacuate and they cannot use the elevator, such as in the case of a fire in their apartment.
Revised FEP Guide Distribution Requirements
Currently, the Fire Safety Guide must be provided to apartment building residents at time of occupancy (when they first move into the building) and must be distributed again every year. The Fire Department proposes to require distribution of the new FEP Guide at time of occupancy and again as part of a building-wide distribution every three years. During the off-years, the rule would require building owners to distribute a short informational bulletin (4 pages or less), which would be used to highlight and reinforce an important, timely fire safety or other emergency preparedness message. This would take advantage of an opportunity to communicate lessons learned or other message when the issue is fresh in the public's mind because of a recent fire or other incident. The informational bulletin will remind apartment building residents to familiarize themselves with the contents of the FEP Guide and advise them on how to obtain a copy if they have not received one.
Additionally, the Fire Department proposes to authorize electronic distribution of the FEP Guide (by email or other form of electronic transmission) to apartment residents and building staff. This would encourage development of electronic communications between owners and residents that can be used for other emergency preparedness communications and in actual emergencies.
Other Considerations
The rule would not change the fire safety notices (Appendix 2 to the renumbered §401‑06) that building owners are required to post.
Response to Public Comments
Public comment was received suggesting that the public will not read a lengthy booklet and the Fire Department should only require that it be made available upon request. The Fire Department declines to adopt this suggestion. The information presented in the Guide directly relates to individual safety and is something every New Yorker should know. The Fire Department has endeavored to make the Guide more reader-friendly and, using modern electronic communications, more accessible and easier to distribute. Placing the Guide in the hands of the millions of New Yorkers who live in apartment buildings ensures the widest access to this information and the greatest likelihood that that the information will be disseminated. The fact that not every person will read it does not argue for limiting its distribution.
Public comment was received inquiring as to the timeframe for compliance with the rule, given that the rule requires distribution of the Fire and Emergency Preparedness Guide in October or January. The Fire Department has adopted this rule effective October 1, 2018, but in response to this concern, states in the Notice of Adoption that the time for compliance with the distribution requirement for the 2018-2019 cycle (only) is extended to April 30, 2019.
Public comment was received indicating that owners should be able to distribute the guide to building residents with whom they have email communications, without having to formally elect to receive the guide in that manner. The rule has been revised to allow email transmission to any building resident who has provided an email address for the purpose of receiving building-related email communications.
In response to a request to specify a date by which the Fire Department will post the annual fire safety bulletins, the rule has been revised to specify August 15th of every year.
With respect to retention and recordkeeping, the Fire Department notes that it is only requiring retention of recordkeeping for the Guide to two distribution cycles, not three, as previously, although the retention period is longer. The term "approved" enables the Department to enforce clear and reliable recordkeeping and typically does not require any formal submission to the Department.
Various comments were received from an organization that advocates for the disabled. These include the following assertions:
A large print Guide will be posted on the Fire Department's website, and reference to posting a large print notice has been included in the rule. The Fire Department will also post an accessible PDF version of the Guide.
The rule does not limit the size of fire safety notices. The owner can prepare a large-type fire safety notice to accommodate the needs of a person with limited vision. In addition, by allowing the Guide to be emailed to apartment residents, the Guide can be read using screen viewer technology by persons who are blind or have low vision.
Response: The Guide relies on establishing a network of supports to facilitate timely evacuation by building residents. The comment fails to recognize that in apartment buildings other resources frequently are not available. Many apartment buildings do not have staff or have a limited staff presence.
In a fire (the most likely circumstance in which immediate evacuation may be required), building staff may not be in close proximity or able to provide assistance to all building residents and/or may themselves need to evacuate. Promoting false reliance is the least desirable course of action. Even in office buildings, reliance is generally placed primarily on work colleagues to assist persons with limited mobility or other physical limitations. As this Guide encourages residents to communicate their needs to building management, the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) will be amending its ABCs of Housing Guide to encourage owners and building residents to discuss emergency preparedness and building evacuation issues, as outlined in the Guide.
Response: The Guide makes mention of the availability of evacuation devices and notes that one may wish to consider keeping a lightweight travel wheelchair or evacuation chair in one's apartment as part of an individual's emergency preparedness plan. The Emergency Preparedness Resources Section of the Guide references informational materials regarding the use of such devices.
Response: The Guide addresses building construction, means of egress and fire protection systems in order to inform apartment residents' response to emergencies. The Building Code governs building design and systems and its accessibility provisions are generally beyond the scope of the Guide.
Response: The Guide does address the use (and non-use) of elevators. In most emergencies, building residents are advised to remain in the building, and in most non‑fire emergencies, elevators are available for use.
Notice requirements relating to elevator shutdowns are established by HPD. The Guide references the fact that owners are required to post notices, but more importantly encourages building residents to establish communications with the owner to ensure that they are made aware whenever elevators may be taken out of service.
Response: The comment is incorrect. The actions recommended by the Guide with respect to active shooter emergencies ("Avoid, Barricade, Confront") is applicable to all persons, including persons in wheelchairs. The guidance addresses situations that both able-bodied and persons with disabilities may encounter, including the inability to safely leave an area.
Response: The City's provision of shelters is generally too incident-specific to include in the Guide. The Guide references the availability of City shelters during a coastal storm because such shelters are operated whenever area evacuations are ordered. Public announcements and/or individual notification will be made when shelter is available during other emergencies. The Guide has been revised to make reference to such announcements and notifications.
Response: The Guide is an informational document designed to inform individual emergency preparedness planning and responses. Individual financial resources or other means to obtain these items is beyond the scope of the Guide.
Response: The Guide references both pets and service animals. Whether persons would be separated from service animals is beyond the scope of the Guide, but it is a reasonable precaution to keep a photograph of a service animal in a phone or wallet (as pet owners commonly do with their pets) if that circumstance arises. The Fire Department disagrees with the comment that this is an unrealistic requirement.
Response: The Guide states that a person listed as a life-sustainingequipment (LSE) customer will be contacted in the event of a power emergency. This is the wording from a utility website and does not imply any further assistance.
