SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. 

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’’). For information on 

its development: http://

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 

Following introductions and any 

announcements, the Council will elect 

officers for 2009–10 and swear in the 

new and reappointed members for the 

upcoming year. The Council will 

receive a series of brief reports from the 

Council Chairman and Executive 

Director, the NOAA Fisheries Northeast 

Regional Administrator, Northeast 

Fisheries Science Center and MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council 

liaisons, NOAA General Counsel, 

representatives of the U.S. Coast Guard 

and the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries 

Commission, as well as NOAA 

Enforcement. These reports will be 

followed by a review of any 

experimental fishery permit 

applications that have been received 

since the last Council meeting. A brief 

public comment period will occur prior 

to the afternoon lunch break. The 

afternoon session will begin with the 

Council’s Research Steering Committee 

review of its evaluation of final reports 

for a number of cooperative research 

projects. The Monkfish Committee will 

review and possibly approve a

recommendation to defer measures that 

had previously been approved for 

consideration in Amendment 5 to the 

Monkfish Fishery Management Plan 

(FMP). These could include the 

monkfish incidental catch limits, and 

alternative catch share management 

programs. The Whiting Committee will 

discuss draft alternatives to be 

developed and analyzed in Amendment 

17 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP. 

Wednesday, September 23, 2009 

The Wednesday session of the 

Council meeting will begin with reports 

from the Northeast Fisheries Science 

Center concerning the recent 

Transboundary Resource Assessment 

Committee (TRAC) meeting results. The 

review will include a report on herring 

and the three groundfish stocks 

addressed through the U.S./Canada 

Resource Sharing Agreement (Eastern 

Georges Bank cod, Eastern Georges Bank 

haddock and Georges Bank yellowtail 

flounder). The Council’s Scientific and 

Statistical Committee will provide its 

recommendations on: final acceptable 

biological catch (ABCs) and ABC control 

rules for groundfish, scallops, herring 

and red crab; and provide a corrected 

2010–11 skate complex ABC value to be 

included in Amendment 3 to the Skate 

FMP (the recalculation will include the 

2008 spring survey values for little 

skate). The Council will then address a 

number of groundfish management 

issues which will include: consideration 

and approval of the Transboundary 

Management Guidance Committee’s 

catch recommendations for 2010 for 

Eastern Georges Bank cod, Eastern 

Georges Bank haddock and Georges 

Bank yellowtail flounder; Council 

advice on measures for the U.S./Canada 

area in fishing year 2010; and 

development of groundfish ACLs for 

fishing years 2010–12 (including the 

yellowtail flounder sub-components for 

the scallop fishery). Final action on the 

ACLs is planned for the November 

Council meeting. There also will be a 

discussion regarding a NMFS letter 

dated August 24, 2009 concerning 

Amendment 16 measures for common 

pool vessels (in particular, measures for 

GOM cod and pollock), and possible 

initiation of a framework action in 

response to the letter. This meeting will 

be the first framework meeting if an 

action is initiated. 

Thursday, September 24, 2009 

On the last day of the Council meeting 

NMFS will present information on the 

most recent amendment to the 

Consolidated HMS FMP, an action 

which focuses on small coastal sharks, 

shortfin mako, and smooth dogfish 

issues. NMFS staff will present the 

management measures analyzed in the 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

and the proposed rule for draft 

Amendment 3 to the FMP and, on 

behalf of the agency, will seek Council 

comments. The Scallop Survey 

Advisory Panel will report on its most 

recent meeting followed by a report 

from the Council’s Scallop Committee. 

During that discussion, the Council will 

review and is expected to approve the 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

for Scallop Amendment 15 for purposes 

of soliciting input at public hearings. 

Measures will include annual catch 

limit requirements, address excess 

capacity in the limited access scallop 

fishery through permit stacking and 

leasing alternatives, modifications to 

some measures for the limited access 

general category fishery and other 

measures. An update on Framework 

Adjustment 21 also will be provided. 

Although other non-emergency issues 

not contained in this agenda may come 

before this Council for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subjects of formal 

action during these meetings. Council 

action will be restricted to those issues 

specifically listed in this notice and any 

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action 

under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided that the public 

has been notified of the Council’s intent 

to take final action to address the 

emergency. 

Special Accommodations 

These meetings are physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to Paul J. Howard

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the authority of the Strategic 

and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act 

of 1979, as amended (50 U.S.C. 98, et 

seq.), the Department of Defense (DOD), 

as National Defense Stockpile Manager, 

maintains a stockpile of strategic and 

critical materials to supply the military, 

industrial, and essential civilian needs 

of the United States for national 

defense. Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year 

(FY) 1993 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 

98h–1) formally established a Market 

Impact Committee (the Committee) to 

‘‘advise the National Defense Stockpile 

Manager on the projected domestic and 

foreign economic effects of all 

acquisitions and disposals of materials 

from the stockpile. * * *’’ The 

Committee must also balance market 

impact concerns with the statutory 

requirement to protect the Government 

against avoidable loss. 

The Committee is comprised of 

representatives from the Departments of 

Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, 

Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and 

Homeland Security, and is co-chaired 

by the Departments of Commerce and 

State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the
