Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
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 re-
moved 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.
