The web page for the proposed (and newly adopted) revisions can be found here:

Comm 10 has been adopted and the anticipated effective date is Feb 1, 2009. We are receiving inquiries regarding the ability to use the revised code now. Because the revised Comm 10 has formally been adopted (with an effective date of Feb 1st.) it is acceptable to use the revised Comm 10 for plan development and submittal if it is used entirely, including the respective adopted standards. A person cannot pick and choose between the current Comm 10 and the adopted Comm 10. If using the adopted revised code the submitter should attach a note that the plan submittal is developed in accordance with the revised version of the Comm 10 code.

Revised operator recordkeeping and system test requirements that may change under the revised code are not effective until February 1, 2009.
