Renovating and additions on a high school, 2009 IBC, ASCE 7, 2005 edition, NFPA 13 2007 edition

The building is located in a seismic B zone with Ss =0.23, S1 =0.065

Question 1 is seismic bracing required for the fire sprinkler system required?

Question 2 is any lateral or longitude bracing require to keep the sprinkler piping from moving during normal operations? That is more than the threaded rod with clevis or swivel hangers?

thanks for the input
