Tub area is to be included.  I believe there was confusion as it wasn't always 
being applied correctly, so the committee just said 55 sq ft total.

Subject: 13R bathrooms

I believe past editions of NFPA 13R (pre-2007) included an explanation that the 
bathtub area need not be included in the square foot area of the bathroom. 
However, current editions (in this case the 2016 edition) do not include this 
language. My question is, does the tub area need to be included in the bathroom 
area?
Thanks for your help.
