Final answer:

Outlets that are not part of the permanent wiring of a building and are used for temporary construction power are required to be GFCI protected.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Outlets that are not part of the permanent wiring of a building and are used for temporary construction power are required to be GFCI protected. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that reacts quickly to changes in current and is designed to protect against electrical shock. GFCIs compare the currents in the live/hot and neutral wires. If the currents are not equal, it indicates a leakage current and the GFCI will trip, interrupting the circuit.
