Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 59 / Wednesday, March 27, 2013 / Notices
The combustion safety procedure in
the BPI–1100–2012 standard is the most
applicable to the work performed by the
WAP. This method was retained in the
SWS. If a suitable replacement becomes
ANSI-approved it may be appropriate to
modify the reference.
2. Air Sealing
a. Reference Standards: DOE received
comments from ACCA, RSES and AHRI
requesting that references be cited for
action levels, as well as the addition of
industry standards along with current
citations to the International Residential
Code. These comments are available at
regulations.gov under Docket ID: EERE–
2012–WE–0042. In reviewing the
comments, it was apparent that the
content required additional referencing
that was also easily searchable in order
to improve the comprehensiveness and
usability of the SWS. Therefore, a crossreference document was developed to
allow for users to identify referenced
standards for individual specification
lines that is included as an Appendix to
the SWS titled ‘‘Appendix C: Guide to
Referenced Standards’’.
3. International Residential Code
(IRC)
a. DOE received comments from
ACCA and RSES, indicating the citation
of specific sections of the 2012 IRC was
not necessary. These comments are
available at regulations.gov under
Docket ID: EERE–2012–WE–0042. The
comments identified that code sections
are often revised and it would be better
to cite ‘‘2012 IRC’’ versus a specific
section. DOE acknowledges that code
references are revised, however one of
the goals of the SWS was to allow users
to identify and find referenced
information easily without having to
purchase or search through numerous
pages of referenced text. Due to the size
of the IRC, it was apparent that
referencing a specific section allowed
the user to efficiently identify the
section to refer to and be able to apply
that knowledge quickly to the task.
Therefore, citation of specific sections of
the 2012 IRC remain in the SWS.
4. Licensed Professionals
a. DOE received comments from
PHCC indicating that certain tasks
should be carried out by individuals
licensed in a particular trade. These
comments are available at
regulations.gov under Docket ID: EERE–
2012–WE–0042. DOE agrees that the use
of licensed professionals to perform
certain tasks is an important component
of maintaining work quality and safety.
Given the wide range of licensure and
credentialing requirements across the
country, DOE made the decision to
include a notification at the beginning
of each detail in the SWS to alert the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:10 Mar 26, 2013
Jkt 229001
reader that the detail may contain a task
requiring a licensed or credentialed
contractor. This is intended to ensure
that the reader is aware of the
possibility of the need for a licensed or
credentialed professional and to
encourage them to verify this with the
authority having jurisdiction.
A full comment report with responses
to each comment received as well as
revisions made to the content of the
SWS can be found at: https://
