                 Materials Selected under Old Item Numbers
                 May Be Distributed under New Item Numbers

   New item numbers are assigned when new material enters the Federal
   Depository Library Program, when groups of materials are split out
   from existing item numbers, and when publications already in the
   program are altered in ways that make a new item number necessary.
   In the Administrative Notes Technical Supplement, new item numbers
   are listed in the column: Update to the List of Classes: New Item
   Numbers. These changes are posted weekly in the GPO Access Web site,
   in WEBTech Notes, at: <www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/dpos/webtech.html
   >.

   As noted in the Technical Supplement and in WEBTech Notes, materials
   previously selected under an old item number will continue to be
   distributed under the new item number unless the library deselects
   the new item. Materials received under these new item numbers must
   be processed and retained in depository collections in the same way
   as if received under the old item number.
