Greg - In point of fact, no NFPA standards are addressed by federal law (keep in mind, regulation is not law, even if given the power of law). Even 29CFR, as far I have seen, doesn't outright adopt the Code in toto, but references portions of it variously as mandatory or recommended.
NFPA 70 is an model/adoption code and no AHJ is under any obligation to use any version, save as required by municipal, county or state laws. Even so, there are some jurisdictions using NFPA 70-1984 (I don't recall which), rather than the latest (2002). Also, AHJs, at their discretion, may adopt only portions of NFPA 70, mix and match bits and pieces from various editions, or not use it at all. Regards, Peter L.
