UPDATE PAGE
This update page is intended to provide users of the Guide an additional resource. It is not intended to be a comprehensive updating of the book. Because statues, regulations, and agency policies change over time, Guide users should always check to make sure they have the most current information available.
| INSERT | Errata and Updates (PDF). This insert provides (1) corrections for errors that were not caught and corrected before the fourth edition of the Guide was published in 2002, and (2) updates for a few portions of the book whose updating does not require extensive redrafting of the book’s text. |
