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 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.
