ICSSC Guidance on Implementing Executive Order 12941 on Seismic Safety of Existing Federally Owned or Leased Buildings
In this guidance document, the Interagency Committee on Seismic Safety in Construction (ICSSC) recommends appropriate approaches for Federal departments and agencies to use in implementing the inventorying and cost estimating requirements of Executive Order 12941. The ICSSC recommends that all Federally-owned buildings be included in an electronic inventory database of specified format. Buildings are to be identified as either exempt or non-exempt from the seismic standards adopted by the order. All exceptionally high risk buildings are to be seismically evaluated, and estimates of the cost of their rehabilitation developed. Additionally, agencies are to perform seismic evaluations on a representative sample of their non-high-risk, non-exempt buildings, and use this information to estimated the vulnerability of that population and the cost of achieving adequate seismic safety.
