It seems to be one of those items that didn't get written 'because everyone knows it is supposed to be level and plumb'.
The developers always use the argument that all the finish components that follow will be installed level/plumb (yeah right) so it doesn't matter.
Markus:

Same f'ing builder, same house had the game room floor 1.75" out of level from one end to the other. They came in and floated it out with floor filler. TRCC guy passed it because it was now within their specs, regardless if he had troweled milk chocolate on there.

It is from the USDA and covers "Rural Development", which, one would think, would be allowed to be 'worse' than "Urban Development".
ECJ:

That urban over rural argument might fly, but the standards are about the same. Any idea if HUD has something similar tucked away in their Everest of publications?

Thanks guys,

Aaron
