Which regulating authority provides a standard for the storage and delivery of aviation fuel in an airport environment?

• A. International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
• B. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
• C. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
• D. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that safe handling of aviation fuel at an airport is governed by standards focused on fire protection and hazardous materials handling. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides the specific codes used for fueling operations, including aircraft fueling systems, storage of flammable liquids, containment, and emergency response. For fueling, NFPA 407 addresses aircraft fueling operations—covering equipment, bonding and grounding, spill containment, fire protection, and safe procedures during fueling. Related standards like NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids) apply to storage and handling of aviation fuels. While ICAO offers international principles and the FAA enforces U.S. regulations, the explicit standards you implement for storage and delivery at an airport come from NFPA. OSHA deals with general workplace safety but does not provide the aircraft-fueling-specific standards you need. So NFPA is the standard-setting authority for this area.
