The final rule also adds definitions for terms that have been subject to differing interpretations, and reorganizes the rule language for clarity. Additionally, the final rule grants in part and denies in part, a petition for rulemaking (PRM-72-3) submitted by Ms. Fawn Shillinglaw on December 9, 1995.
