Is this a formal, local amendment, or simply an interpretation? If it is an interpretation, I would think that substantiation should be provided.
Article 314.29 of the 2002 NEC requires only that boxes be installed so that the wiring can be rendered "accessible".
Article 100 defines "Accesible" as "Capable of being removed or exposed without damaging the building structure or finish or not permanently closed in by the structure or finish of the building".
I can't see insulation rendering a box "inaccessible"
