Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checlclist will be updated with the
printing of each 3upplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date
volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page
has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.
