NFPA 13 does not address such reductions. Some building/fire codes will specify an allowable reduction in fire separation ratings for certain buildings where sprinklers are provided in accordance with NFPA 13. You would need to consult with the applicable building/fire code for your particular project to determine if there are any allowable reductions.
