IRC Component and Cladding Wind Pressure

[Loui1]

What are the rules about Component and Cladding wind pressures when designing a single family residence? I'm designing the MWFRS per IBC pressures, but do I return to the IRC for the component and cladding pressures? IRC is showing fastest mile wind speeds and its not clear how to direct the window/door/roofing guys.

Try R301.2.1.3 Wind speed conversion. There is a table that converts between fastest mile and 3 second gust.
