The ICC Group B Public Comment Hearings will be held September 14 – September 18 in Lexington Kentucky. CLICK HERE for the landing page for the event, schedule and links to substantive technical content. The hearings are typically webcast so we will follow them every day.
The public comment agenda is linked below:
Complete Monograph: 2022 Group B Public Comment Agenda
The ICC typically provides a link to the monograph — which includes public comments on all titles for the present Group B cycle — ahead of the meetings. We look forward to the restoration of that link which was available a few days ago but, today, has gone missing.
It is a long document — the better part of 2000 pages — and must be undergoing revision. In the standards domain, everything is under revision; by definition. Use search terms such as “school”, “student”, “college”, “university”, “hospital”, etc. Keep in mind that there are two other title groupings — A & B — in the ICC catalog.
