Introduction
Transmittal Number
The transmittal number contains the month, year, and a consecutively-issued
number (beginning with -01 for the first edition and increasing consecutively
for each update to the edition). The transmittal number is only changed when
the specific chapter sections, appendixes, or glossary, tables, or index is
updated. If no changes are made, then the transmittal number remains the
unchanged. The transmittal number only changes for the entire guidelines
when a new edition is issued or changes are made to the entire guidelines.
