3.3.40 Solid Cooking Fuel.
Any solid, organic, consumable fuel such as briquettes, mesquite,

A.3.2.2 Authority Having
Jurisdiction The phrase is used in NFPA documents in a broad
manner, since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their
responsibilities. Where public safety is primary, the authority
having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local, or other regional
department or individual such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a
fire prevention bureau, labor department, or health department; building
official; electrical inspector; or others having statutory authority.
For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department, rating
bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the authority
having jurisdiction. In many circumstances, the property
owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority
having jurisdiction; at government installations, the commanding officer
or departmental official may be the authority having jurisdiction.
