NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on November 29, 2005, The Bureau of Elevator Safety hereby gives notice that it issued an Order Granting Variance Request in response to a petition filed on September 6, 2005 and advertised in FAW Vol. 31, No. 38, by Lee Rigby of Vertical Assessment Associates on behalf of DEX Imaging Office Building (VW 2005-133). The petition sought a waiver from Rules 100.3a, 101.6, 206.5a, 208.2a, 208.2b and 212.1, of ASME A17.1, 1996 Edition with 1997 Addenda, as adopted by Rule 61C-5.001, F.A.C. The petitioner requested to not have a machine room, to use 9.5-mm governor rope metal sheaves and drums lined with nonmetallic groove materials, sheaves with a minimum pitch diameter 40 times the diameter of the rope and to use aramid non-metallic ropes. The petition was granted as it was demonstrated that this new technology provided equivalent or greater safety than the present code.

A copy of the Order can be obtained from: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202.
