Jeff, wherever there is a seam, or crack or opening that would allow air infiltration, they would need to be sealed in

an approved manner.

Re: Sealing The Sole Plates

If the sole plate is on an exterior wall does the seam not communicate with the outdoors, then ruling the crawlspace condition irrelevant. And R602.8 item 4 requires all penetrations at the floor and cieling be sealed with an approved material. I think sill seal or caulking required, and firestop required.
