NFPA 58 Question for LPG Tank

Table 6104.3, less than 125 gal, foot note "e" Items 2,3 and 4.

PRV discharge, minimum of 5-ft horizontally from building, 5-ft from exterior source of ignition an 5-ft from adjoining property that can be built on.
 
Information I provided came from the 2021 IFC. (NFPA 58 is listed under section 6101.1 Scope).

(NFPA 58, Appendix B if adopted, you will need to view if you have that code)

Sorry, I think Jar wanted you to view the NFPA section.
 
For whatever reason I couldn't get to 58 yesterday but today I can. I'm usually in 101 on the daily... anyway, wouldn't this be covered in 1 rather than 58

My eyes might just be getting worse, but it seems the NFPA free access has reduced the font size and changed the text color from dark gray to medium gray in the last year or two.
