Handbook went to print in the first week of March, 2011. We expect to be able to produce these
appendices by the end of March. They will be made available to you in two ways: via email, as Excel
spreadsheets (and thus easily sorted and organized), and in an updated version of this Handbook
posted to the Public Service web site.
