Re: Motor Overload Protection
The NEC requires motors to have some type of overload. The 2005 NEC reference is 430.31, 430.32, and 430.33. In particular your case is covered by 430.32(D) which may allow the branch circuit to provide the required protection.
I don't recognize your code reference.

Re: Motor Overload Protection
It could be internally protected already. Check and see. Let the customer know that small motors only cause small fires when not protected.
