NFPA 1600 in no way incorporates COOP. Federal Continuity Directive 1 (FCD 1)
defines COOP as: "COOP," or Continuity of Operations, is an effort within
individual organizations (i.e., Federal executive branch departments and
agencies) to ensure that MEFs and PMEFs continue to be performed during a
wide range of emergencies, including localized acts of nature, accidents, and
technological or attack-related emergencies. Our standard is not intended nor
does it incorporate any Federal specific information. The credibility of the NFPA
would become suspect by changing the scope only to "appear" to be inclusive.

events,and technology caused events)to ensure that new hazards and threats
are considered without being prescriptive and keep the more extensive listing in

of operations applies to all entities, and includes continuity of government.

Elsewhere in the standard, the word organization is replaced by the word
‘entity’. The use of ‘entity’ in addition to ‘organization’ in A.4.4.1(3) may be a
typo/oversight. Therefore, I suggest that ‘or organization’ should be deleted
from this section of the annex, and anywhere else in the document that this
conflict remains.

Regarding the comparison chart Table E.1(b) Cross-Reference of NFPA 1600 to
CSA Z1600, please delete NFPA 1600-13 and insert NFPA 1600-16, so that the
title reads as follows: 'Table E.1(b) Cross-Reference of NFPA 1600–16 to CSA
Z1600–14' Similarly, the heading of the first column beneath the title, should
read 'NFPA 1600 (2016) and not NFPA 1600 (2013).
