The publication of this notice by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on behalf of ICC is being undertaken as a public service; NIST does not necessarily endorse, approve, or recommend any of the codes or standards referenced in the notice. DATES: The date of the next code development hearing is October 24– November 11, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland at the Hilton Baltimore. Completion of this cycle results in the 2012 edition of the International Codes which are scheduled to be published by April 2011. For detailed information on the 2009/2010 Cycle, go to: https:// www.iccsafe.org/cs/codes/2009-10cycle/ index.html FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Pfeiffer, PE, Secretary, Code Development, 4051 West Flossmoor Road, Country Club Hills, Illinois 60478; Telephone 708–799–2300, Extension 4338. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Background ICC produces the only family of Codes and Standards that are comprehensive, coordinated, and necessary to regulate the built environment. Federal agencies frequently use these codes and standards as the basis for developing Federal regulations concerning new and existing construction. The Code Development Process is initiated when proposals from interested persons, supported by written data, views, or arguments are solicited and published in the Proposed Changes document. This document is posted a minimum of 30 days in advance of the first hearing and serves as the agenda. At the first hearing, the ICC Code Development Committee considers testimony on every proposal and acts on each one individually (Approval, Disapproval, or Approval as Modified). The results are published in a report entitled the Report of the Public Hearing, which identifies the disposition of each proposal and the reason for the committee’s action. Anyone wishing to submit a comment on the committee’s action, expressing support or opposition to the action, is provided the opportunity to do so. Comments received are published and distributed in a document called the Final Action Agenda which serves as the agenda for the second hearing. Proposals which are approved at the second hearing are incorporated in the subsequent Edition, with the next cycle starting with the submittal deadline for proposals. VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:16 Sep 03, 2009 Jkt 217001 ICC maintains a mailing list of interested parties who will be sent a complimentary CD, free of charge, of all code development documents from ICC’s Chicago District Office: International Code Council, 4051 W Flossmoor Road, Country Club Hills, Illinois 60478; or download a copy from the ICC Web site noted previously. The International Codes and Standards consist of the following: ICC Codes International Building Code. International Energy Conservation Code. International Existing Building Code. International Fire Code. International Fuel Gas Code. International Mechanical Code. ICC Performance Code for Buildings and Facilities. International Plumbing Code. International Private Sewage Disposal Code. International Property Maintenance Code. International Residential Code. International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. International Zoning Code. ICC Standards ICC A 117.1 Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities. ICC 300: Standard on Bleachers, Folding and Telescopic Seating and Grandstands. ICC 400: Standard on the Design and Construction of Log Structures. ICC 500: ICC/NSSA Standard on the Design and Construction of Storm Shelters. ICC 600: Standard for Residential Construction in High Wind Areas. The maintenance process for ICC Standards such as ICC A117.1 follows a similar process of soliciting proposals, committee action, public comment and ultimately the update and publication of the standard. ICC’s Standard development process meets ANSI requirements for standard’s development. ICC has recently begun the development of the International Green Construction Code which will become part of the family of 2012 International Codes (‘‘I-Codes’’).
