. **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
