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 supple-
mentation 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 re-
printed 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.
