FC § 401.3.5

An entry shall be made in the log book required by FC 401.8 documenting such review, and indicating the general nature of any amendments to be made to such plan. Submission of an amended emergency preparedness plan shall not be required solely by reason of staffing changes or revisions to the building information card.
