Ref IBC - 2006 - For type V-B construction there are no FRR requirements for building elements - structural or nonstructural.
For type III-B construction, FRR are applicable only for exterior bearing walls. The number of hours required depends on the type of construction, occupancy, and fire separation distance. If the fire separation distance x >= 30 feet, then no fire rating is required for ext. bearing walls. If x < 30feet, then FRR is required and you may refer to Section 2303.2.
