The new UFC refers designers to \1\UFC 3-301-01/1/ for spectral acceleration data for both CONUS and OCONUS locations. FEMA 356 is currently being adapted into ASCE 41, which will become a national standard. For existing buildings, the new UFC references ASCE 31-03, Seismic Evaluation of Existing Buildings, which has been adopted as a national standard, and FEMA 356, NEHRP Guidelines for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Buildings – A Prestandard. IBC 2003 did not exist when TI 809-04 and TI 809-05 were developed, and their provisions are inconsistent with IBC 2003. The new UFC directs the use of IBC 2003 for seismic design for new and existing DoD buildings.
The new UFC adopts the seismic design provisions of the 2003 International Building Code (IBC 2003) for use in DoD building design.

UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate.
