Live Load Reduction for Girders

[PEinVA]

In ASCE 7-02 it states reduction can be made to members that have an area greater than 400 sf for KLL*At. What should the KLL value be for a transfer girder? Would it equal 1 or is it considered an interior beam if it is on the inside of the building?
Any help on this would be great!
Thanks.

Compute KLL from the informaiton given in Section C4.8. There's a good explanation of how to do it in the ASCE 7-02 commentary (page 255 of ASCE 7-02).
