That is really up to the adopting agencies...there are lots of amendments when it is adopt that are because of the costs to comply with a new rule.

I admit I have been torn in the past contemplating whether the NFPA or the adopting agency should do the cost benefit analysis. I think I have settled that it should be the NFPA, they are the one writing the code and that is their job to come up with appropriate codes. Presumably when they come up with a new code they already have most of the data in front of them anyway.

I don't even think that cost-benefit is even part of the ANSI standard adoption process...the process that is used by the NFPA for the NEC and other standards and codes.

That's seem strange. So they're just guessing at whether these rules are worth it?

The cost is not part of the process at the NFPA level...that is way I said, that needs to be looked at by the adopting agency.

It's a dedicated 15A 120v circuit. Use a single receptacle.

A single receptacle does not change the GFCI protection requirements.
