SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 

supports the International Energy 

Conservation Code (IECC) by 

participating in the code development 

administered by the International Code 

Council (ICC). DOE’s participation in 

this process was outlined in a previous 

Federal Register notice published on 

April 19, 2013 (78 FR 23550). As a 

participant in the IECC development 

process, DOE submitted code change 

proposals for the IECC, and recently 

defended its proposals at the April 2013 

ICC Committee Action Hearings (results 

are available at http://www.iccsafe.org/ 

cs/codes/Pages/Dallas-B-Results.aspx). 

The next step in the current IECC 

development cycle is for participants to 

submit public comments on actions 

taken at the recent ICC Committee 

Action Hearings in anticipation of the 

ICC Public Comment Hearings to be 

held in October 2013. 

A. Statutory Requirements 

Title III of the Energy Conservation 

and Production Act, as amended 

(ECPA), establishes requirements related 

to energy conservation standards for 

new buildings (42 U.S.C. 6831–6837). 

Section 307(b) of ECPA directs DOE to 

support voluntary building energy codes 

by periodically reviewing the technical 

and economic basis of the voluntary 

building codes, recommending 

amendments to such codes, seeking 

adoption of all technologically feasible 

and economically justified energy 

efficiency measures, and otherwise 

participate in any industry process for 

review and modification of such codes 

(42 U.S.C. 6836(b)). 

B. Background 

The IECC serves as a model building 

energy code and is adopted by many 

U.S. states, territories, the District of 

Columbia, and localities across the 

nation. Development of the IECC is 

administered by the ICC, with revisions 

taking place every three years under the 

ICC governmental consensus process. 

Any party can propose changes to the 

IECC with proposed code changes 

subject to the bylaws, policies and 

procedures as defined by the ICC. Code 

change proposals are discussed and 

voted on at the ICC Committee Action 

Hearings. The next step in the IECC 

development cycle is for stakeholders to 

submit public comments on actions 

taken at the recent ICC Committee 

Action Hearings in anticipation of the 

ICC Public Comment Hearings. 

ICC’s code development process is 

described at http://www.iccsafe.org/cs/ 

codes/pages/default.aspx. 

II. DOE Public Comments for the IECC 

Code change proposals for the IECC 

were heard at the ICC Committee Action 

Hearings conducted April 21–30, 2013 

in Dallas, Texas. Continuing its 

participation in the IECC development 

process, DOE has drafted public 

comments on its code change proposals
