The service load combinations to use in checking deflections would be found in the applicable building code (IBC) or the ASCE 7.
ACI 318 used to "sort of" include service load combinations for design in the Chapter 1 commentary (See R1.1 of ACI 318-11) but that no longer exists in 14 and later versions.
