As decided upon at the November 1, 2006, Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Board Meeting, there will be a six-month delay in the implementation of Section R301.2.1.1, Design criteria (related to stronger code requirements in areas where the basic wind speed equals or exceeds 100 mph), of the 2006 International Residential Code (IRC). During the period of delay (from January 1 through June 30, 2007), DCA will be co-sponsoring several workshops in the impacted areas.
R301.2.1.1 Design criteria. Construction in regions where the basic wind speeds from Figure R301.2(4) equal or exceed 100 miles per hour (45 m/s) in hurricane-prone regions, or 110 miles per hour (49m/s) elsewhere, shall be designed in accordance with one of the following:
1. American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA) Wood Frame Construction Manual for One- and Two-Family Dwellings (WFCM); or
2. Southern Building Code Congress International Standard for Hurricane Resistant Residential Construction (SSTD 10); or
3. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE-7); or
