Anyone know where in the code (RCNYS or IRC) it says that a crawlspace is required to have a light and an electrical outlet?

I looked in the code and its not if it's just a crawlspace.
E3901 does not list "crawlspace" as a location that requires outlets.
E3902.4: specifies the type of receptacles and lighting outlets for crawlspaces (but that's not to say that outlets are required there)
E3903.4: under floor spaces required to have lighting outlet if used for storage or contain equipment that requires servicing
