It contains the largest concentration of pre-1945 structures in the city, with more than 1000 structures identified in the City of Lubbock Historic Site Survey. The Central Business District of the City also contains a significant number of historic commercial structures. These two areas have been the subject of a recent Central Business District Plan prepared for the City of Lubbock, and portions of the area are included in the city's Tax Increment Finance District. The Lubbock Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission has expressed a concern that historic buildings in these areas are threatened. The current Historic Site Survey contains a breadth and depth of material concerning individual buildings, but does not provide the information'necessary to place the structures in their historic context for possible local landmark designation or National Register listing. Therefore, the City of Lubbock Planning Department is requesting CLG grant funds for a research assistant, preferable a history graduate student, to prepare a historic context for the Overton Addition and Central Business District, stressing both linkages and differences in the areas. The grant request also includes funds to photograph each of the building so that the Urban Design Commission can review each building and make an assessment of its historic and/or architectural merit. Commission and Staff Attendance at Annual CLG Conference Members of the City of Lubbock Urban Design and Historic Preservation Commission and City of Lubbock staff must attend meetings and seminars in historic preservation to maintain the City's Certified Local Government status. The annual CLG conference, which is geared to local preservation commissions, allows the Commission members to gain preservation education and confer with their peers from across the state.

BOX 12276 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711 512-463-6094 Revised 5/90 GUIDELINES FOR SURVEY AND PLANNING GRANTS TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION PART I: INTRODUCTION TO SURVEY AND PLANNING GRANTS With the enactment of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966, the Secretary of the Interior was directed to expand and maintain the National Register of Historic Places and to give maximum encouragement to state governments to develop their own statewide historic preservation programs. The Act recognized that one of the prerequisites for an effective national preservation program was the identification of historic resources across the country through comprehensive statewide surveys. A grants-in-aid program established by the Act provided funding through the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior for such survey work at both the state and local levels. A comprehensive survey and its inventory of historic resources should be integrated into the community planning process as the basis of landmark ordinances and historical zoning. By providing assistance in planning and directing new development, information gathered by surveys can ensure sensitive preservation of the historic character of a community. As the analysis of the built environment provided by a survey generally leads to a multiple property nomination to the National Register, the quality and thoroughness of survey activities dictates the effectiveness of the National Register as a planning tool. Survey and planning grants in Texas are administered through the National Register Programs office of the Texas Historical Commission (THC). They are distributed as 50-50 matching grants, which, with the exception of General Revenue Sharing and Community Development Block Grant monies, must be matched with non-federal funds. These grants can be used to hire a professional (see Standards for Professional Qualifications) preservation planner, historian, archeologist, or architectural historian to conduct a survey, prepare National Register nominations, or formulate strategies for preservation planning. What is a Survey? Surveys are a process of identifying and gathering data on a community's historic resources. Generally as comprehensive as possible, surveys record all pre-1950 historic and/or archeological sites, buildings, objects, structures, and districts within a given geographical boundary and assign high, medium, or low priority rankings to these resources. Initial identification is followed by a phase which concentrates on high priority properties that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register. This includes all resources that are of significance in American history, architecture, archeology and culture, and which are generally more than 50 years of age. As 1 locally significant neighborhoods and properties are also of concern and, since the passage of time will bring an increasing number of properties within the 50-year time range, the THC recommends that more recent properties and properties of local significance be included in a survey. The full range of resources addressed by a. survey may be categorized as follows: Buildings - such as houses, barns, churches, hotels, or similar constructions are created to shelter any form of human activity. The term building may also refer to historically and functionally related units, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn. Examples to document include: *Notable examples of architectural styles, periods, or methods of construction, as well as particular local or regional types. *Buildings illustrating the history and development of such diverse areas as communications, community planning, government, conservation, economics, education, literature, music, and landscape architecture. *Stores, businesses and other properties that provide a physical record of the experiences of particular ethnic groups. *Markets and commercial structures or blocks. *Important works by architects or master builders. *Architectural curiosities, buildings which are one -of -a -kind. *Sole or rare survivors of an important architectural style or type. *Studios of American artists, writers, or musicians during the years of creative activity. *Institutions that provide evidence of the cultural history of a community, such as churches, universities, art centers, and theaters. *Buildings, such as agricultural experiment stations or laboratories, where significant technological advances or inventions occurred. *Vernacular or folk buildings, including secondary or outbuildings. *Buildings that retain significant interior features. Districts - possess significant concentrations, linkages, or continuity of sites, buildings, structures, or objects united historically or aesthetically by plan or physical development. Surveys should address examples of the following: *Groups of buildings that physically and spatially comprise a specific environment: groups of related buildings that represent the standards and tastes of a community or neighborhood during one period of history, unrelated structures that represent a progression of various styles and functions, or cohesive townscapes or streetscapes that possess an identity of place. *Groups of buildings, structures, and/or sites representative of, or associated with a particular social, ethnic, or economic group during a particular period. *Farmlands and related farm structures (silos, barns, granaries, irrigation canals) that possess an identity of time and place. *Groups of structures and buildings that show the industrial or technological developments of the community, state, or nation. 2 *Groups of buildings representing historical development patterns, such as commercial and trade centers, county seats, and mill towns. *Groups of sites, structures, and/or buildings containing archeological data and probably representing a historic or prehistoric settlement system or pattern of related activities. *Groups of educational buildings and their associated spaces (school and university campuses, etc.) *Extensive constructed landscapes, such as large parks, that represent the work of a master landscape architect or the concepts and directions of a school of landscape architecture. *Landscapes that have been shaped by historical processes of land use and retain visual and cultural characteristics indicative of such processes. Sites - are locations of significant events, prehistoric or historic occupations or activities, or buildings or structures, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, whose locations possess historical, cultural, or archeological value. Examples include: *Archeological sites containing information that may answer particular research questions. *Archeological sites containing information that may shed light on broad trends in local, state, or national history. *Sites of cultural importance to local people or ethnic groups, such as locations of important events in their history, historic or prehistoric cemeteries, or shrines. *Sites associated with events important in the history of the community as a whole, such as battlefields, trails, or river crossings. *Ruins of historically or archeologically important buildings or structures *Historically important shipwrecks. *Cemeteries important for the architectural or artistic qualities of their constituent structures and monuments. [Cemeteries are important cultural properties to survey, but usually are ineligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places.] 'Cemeteries associated with important events or people, or whose study can provide important information about history or prehistory, or landscape significance. *Constructed landscapes that exemplify principles, trends, or schools of thought in landscape architecture, or that represent fine examples of the landscape architect's art. Structures - are functional constructions made usually for purposes other than creating shelter. Surveys should document: *Industrial and engineering structures including mills, kilns, quarries, aqueducts, processing plants, utility or pumping stations, and dams. *Transportation structures such a railroads, turnpikes, canals, tunnels, bridges, roundhouses, lighthouses, and wharves. 3 *Movable structures, such as aircraft, ships or locomotives, associated with important processes of transportation, industrial development, social and military history. *Agricultural structures such a granaries, silos, and corncribs. Objects - are constructions, as distinguished from buildings and structures, that are primarily artistic in nature, generally small in scale, and simply constructed. Although they may be movable by nature or design, objects are associated with specific settings or environments. Statuary in a designed landscape exemplifies the types of objects surveys should identify. Other examples include: *Objects important to the cultural life of a community and related to a specific location, such as fountains, road markers, sculpture, etc. *Objects important to scientific, historical, or art historical research such as statuary or boundary markers located in a setting appropriate to their historic use, roles or character. Why undertake a survey? Increasing competition for land use and uncertain economies of rural and urban " areas in Texas leave the survival of many prehistoric and historic resources in serious doubt. Although new construction will inevitably replace some of these resources, completion of a comprehensive survey can lead to the development of a preservation plan that takes into account the relative significance of all historically :-and architecturally significant buildings, sites, residential neighborhoods, rural and urban spaces. A preservation plan can help channel growth into the least sensitive areas of the environment and limit the loss of valuable resources. In addition to serving as planning tools, surveys can help in locating potential Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks, State Archeological Landmarks and properties eligible for listing in the National Register. These designations afford property owners the opportunity to apply for economic benefits such as tax credits, as well as State and federal grants for historic preservation. What. are the products of a complete survey? Texas Historic Sites Inventory Form (typewritten), its approved equivalent, or State of Texas Archeological Site Data Form of every prehistoric or historic property in the survey area. (See Appendices A & .B) Negatives of all surveyed sites with proper identification of each view. These may be either 4" x 5" or 35mm format. If 35mm format is used, each roll of film must be . accompanied by one contact sheet and one completed Photo Index sheet (See 4 Appendix B). In addition, 35mm slides of all high priority properties and representative streetscapes are required. Detailed maps that identify the location of all surveyed properties and districts. Local maps with building footprints or USGS 7.5 series maps may be used to clearly identify surveyed sites and their site numbers. USGS maps are provided by the THC (see Appendix Q. Archeological surveys require USGS maps with all site locations clearly identified by trinomial numbers. Final report (two copies) outlining the survey's purpose and methods, as well as recommendations for local, state, and federal historical designation and other appropriate preservation measures. This report must be in conformance with the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Identification as published in the Federal Register, Volume 48, No. 190. (Available from the THC) Additional products, if requested by the grant recipient, may include sketch maps, sketch plans, and suggested local preservation strategies. What is a National Register Nomination? Individual properties, districts, or groups of properties may be addressed by nominations to the National Register. A Multiple Property nomination is the result of the comprehensive analysis of all historic and/or prehistoric properties within a given geographic area that have been identified by a survey as meeting the criteria for listing in the National Register. This can include any combination of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects significant at the local, state, or national level. What are preservation planning activities? In general, activities for the continued identification and evaluation of historic properties and for their protection and enhancement are considered preservation planning activities. These may include preparation of a comprehensive historic preservation plan, development of historic preservation or district ordinances, establishment of financial incentive programs for preservation, 'and public education activities. 5 PART II: SURVEY AND PLANNING METHODOLOGY The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Preservation Planning, Identification, Evaluation, Documentation and Registration are the guidelines prepared by the . National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior for grants awarded from the Historic Preservation Fund. The Standards provide a general method- ology for survey and planning activities at different levels and scales. All work completed with assistance of Survey and Planning Grants from the State Historic Preservation Office must be in conformance with these Standards. Copies may be obtained from the National Register Programs office of the THC. What are the elements of preservation planning? Development of a fully documented, comprehensive inventory of a community's historic properties is one of the primary goals of a historic resources survey. To achieve this end using cost-effective, broad, and unbiased methods, the Standards for Preservation Planning recommend the preparation of Historic Contexts. A Historic Context is a broad pattern of historical development in a community or region with geographic, temporal, and thematic boundaries. Historic resources, both standing and archeological, represent these contexts. For example, if a community was founded as a railroad shipping point in the 19th century, its functions as such may be reflected in its street plan, the location of warehouses and commercial buildings, the character of its neighborhoods, or archeological remains buried beneath more recent development. Operation as 19th-century shipping point is thus- one Historic Context that influences the nature and distribution of the community's resources, and should influence survey efforts designed to find and document such resources. Historic Contexts are developed by analyzing background data on the history and prehistory of the community and its surrounding area. To uncover such data, survey planners should conduct initial research into the history and prehistory of the community and the region in which it lies, in consultation with knowledgeable authorities. An initial statement of Historic Contexts should be developed during the earliest stages of planning to guide development of the actual survey design. In planning the survey, it may be feasible to define the contexts only in broad, general terms;. sufficient flexibility should always be maintained to allow for changes as the survey progresses. In this manner, Historic Contexts are almost always refined, modified, or expanded as the survey proceeds. An outline of statewide Historic Contexts is available from the National Register Programs office of the THC. These are considered a guide for surveys, registration, and documentation that will eventually lead to the establishment of fully developed Contexts or help to focus on specific property or resource types with defined protection strategies. M How are survey goals and priorities established? A great deal of preparation is necessary before beginning any survey effort. During the initial stages of research, survey goals should be established based on the developed Historic Contexts. This will provide information crucial for determining the scope and focus of the proposed work. For example, suppose that a community was the probable location of a prehistoric Indian village near the confluence of two streams, and a port during the early 19th century, and experienced growth in the middle to late 19th century as rural Blacks established neighborhoods of shotgun houses near urban centers and merchants built opulent houses in another related neighborhood. Goals for the first -stage reconnaissance -level survey effort might be to determine whether soil strata that might contain the archeological remains of the Indian village still exist, to determine the boundaries of the early 19th-century port, to identify major buildings from the period, to identify buildings requiring further study to ascertain whether they represent repeatedly modernized 19th-century buildings, to determine locations of likely archeological interest, and to identify historic neighborhoods that retain their architectural and cultural integrity. The means to achieving these goals can then be assigned priorities based on such factors as work already conducted, available funding, planning and development constraints, and survey opportunities. How is the survey conducted? --The first step is to determine the boundaries of the survey area. This usually is determined by the funding agency or organization and follows an established political boundary. If dealing with standing structures in densely populated urban areas, however, other boundaries might be considered. In most archeological studies, boundaries may follow topographic or environmental zones, such as valley floors, or river basins. Regardless of the boundaries, a survey consists of two major components: archival research, and recording of information during field work. Although archival research begins before field work, and much information is recorded as the result of field work, both normally will be simultaneous activities. Those conducting them should interact and provide each other with advice and suggestions. Performing archival research - archival research should examine factors such as the area's historical or prehistoric development, political boundaries, settlement patterns, and geographic features. Good sources of historic information include back issues of newspapers and periodicals, city directories, census records, old maps and photographs, Sanborn Insurance maps, county histories, tax rolls, and deed records. Local libraries and county courthouses often have many of these and other. 7 historical records. Prehistoric background information can be found in published and unpublished studies, theses, and dissertations. The Texas State Library and Archives in Austin, the Barker Texas History Center at. the University of Texas, the Southwest Collection at Texas Tech, the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio, the THC libraries and other State and local archives are useful resource centers for both historic and prehistoric reference materials. Locally collected information is vital in any survey effort. Displays and community history collections at libraries, schools, or museums, articles in local newspapers, guided tours of historic homes, meetings with local groups or clubs, as well as heritage photo and oral history projects can provide information and local support for a survey. Local historians, genealogists, and other knowledgeable individuals should be enlisted in the effort. Field work and recording procedures - field work usually may be categorized as reconnaissance or intensive surveys. A reconnaissance survey should document: *The boundaries of the area surveyed; *Major properties predating 1950; *The method of survey, including the extent of survey coverage; " *Describe and evaluate kinds of historic properties found in the survey area; *Specific properties identified and categories of information collected; *Areas examined that did not yield historic properties. An intensive survey should document: *The boundaries of the area surveyed; *All properties predating 1950; *The method of survey, including an estimate of the extent of coverage; *A record of the precise location of all properties identified; *Describe and evaluate areas where resources have been lost ; *Information on the appearance, significance, integrity, and boundaries of each property sufficient to permit an evaluation of its significance. Sometimes both types are conducted as related parts of the same survey project; in other cases, reconnaissance is used to plan and focus later intensive survey. In general, the THC now funds only intensive surveys. Field work generally consists of identifying, photographing, recording basic site data, and plotting on a field map all properties of historical, architectural, or archeological significance. In a survey of above -ground resources, this process entails driving or walking every street in a community, and evaluating every site and structure individually on the basis of the established criteria. The information gained through this process can then be cross-referenced with the archival findings. A E: Historic Sites Inventory Form or an approved equivalent is completed for every property deemed to be of cultural or historical value at that point. These forms are then keyed to a map of the survey area, so that the general patterns of chronology, growth, and concentration can easily be identified (See Appendices A and Q. In archeological surveys, standard predictive survey methods are employed, and sites are recorded on -State of Texas Archeological Site Data Forms (see Appendix D). All archeological sites should be plotted on the largest scale USGS topographic sheets available (7.5 minute scale is preferred). [Please refer to National Register Bulletin 24, Guidelines For Local Surveys: A Basis For Preservation Planning by the National Register of Historic Places Interagency Resources, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior for more information on survey and planning techniques. Copies are available from the National Register Programs office, THC.] PART III: HOW TO APPLY FOR SURVEY AND PLANNING GRANTS In accordance with the THC's State Historic Preservation Plan, Survey and Planning Grants are allocated annually to facilitate the compilation of an inventory of the State's historic resources and assist preservation planning projects. These grants are allocated from the Historic Preservation Fund and awarded to the THC by the U.S. Department of the Interior. As with other grants awarded through the THC, Survey and Planning Grants must be matched on a 50-50 basis. Since funding is federal in origin, only non-federal monies may be used as a match, with the exception of General Revenue Sharing and Community Development Block Grant monies. The match can consist of cash or in -kind contributions. Cash contributions are the grant recipient's cash outlay of money from non-federal sources. In -kind contributions are the value of non -cash contributions provided by the grant recipient or non-federal third parties. Application Procedures A signed Preliminary Application Form must be submitted to the THC in order for a nonprofit organization or governmental entity to be eligible for a Survey and Planning Grant. The Preliminary Application Form should describe the proposed work, objectives, scope, and anticipated sources of funding for the project. The deadline for submission of a Preliminary Application Form to the THC is 5:00 p.m. on 29 June 1990. Following submission of the Preliminary Application Form, an evaluation of the proposals will be provided by the staff of the THC. In conjunction with a site visit, staff will consult with applicants to determine the scope of the project and a preliminary estimation of cost. Following notification of eligibility, applicants must select a qualified project professional before making a formal Request for Funding by 29 September 1990. 0] Procurement of Project Professional The grant recipient must perform competitive procurement procedures to obtain the project professional. The grant recipient must contact at least three qualified . professionals for written bids, usually through the issuance of Request for Proposals (THC has samples of such requests if needed). In addition, the grant recipient may want to advertise for written bids in such broad market publications as the "Commerce Business Daily", newspapers, professional journals, etc. The THC has resumes of interested and qualified parties on file that grant recipients should use for contacts. This file contains resumes for minority business enterprises as well, and every effort should be made to contact these minority businesses. The THC does not endorse any party; these resumes are for informational purposes only. The invitation to bid (Request for Proposals), proposals received, and a statement explaining selection process must be submitted to the THC as part of the Project Proposal.

Regulations of the U.S. Department of the Interior strictly prohibit unlawful discrimination in federally -assisted programs on the basis of race, color and/or national origin. Grant Allocations Announcement of grant allocations will be made by the THC as early as possible in each fiscal year, but as the actual date of receipt of federal monies may vary, some flexibility in scheduling projects is necessary. Funds will be awarded to eligible applicants on a competitive basis, giving priority to those conforming to the goals of the State Historic Preservation Officer and State Historic Preservation Plan. Such priorities may be subject to change as a result of alterations in federal historic preservation programs. The review of applications will focus on, but not be limited to, the continuation of survey work already underway, initiation of survey work in urban and rural areas identified as priorities, and the preparation of multiple property National Register nominations. The THC prefers that Project Proposals phase proposed work to separate survey activities from National Register nomination preparation. 11 Project Proposal Once the award is made, a detailed description of the grant project must be submitted for the approval of the Texas Historical Commission prior to project . implementation. This Project Proposal should include: *a description of the existing circumstances prompting the need for this survey *a proposed scope of work detailing goals to be accomplished *a list of proposed project personnel and their professional qualifications *documentation of the competitive process used to select the project professionals *proposed project start and end dates *an outline of anticipated future phases of work *plans for utilization of data gathered in this phase *a budget summary with detailed budget breakdown and narrative. (A narrative must be submitted with the proposed budget to explain expenditures by item. Calculations justifying all entries should be shown. Identify all sources of matching funds.) Note: Costs associated with activities carried out to influence legislation pending before Congress, commonly referred to as "lobbying," are unallowable as charges to the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund. These grants must conform to provisions of 18 USC 1913: "No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress, may be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress, to favor or oppose, by vote or otherwise, any legislation or appropriation by Congress, whether before or after the introduction of any bill or resolution proposing such legislation or appropriation; but this shall not prevent officers or employees of the United States or its departments or agencies from communicating to Members of Congress on the request of any Member, or to Congress through proper official channels, requests for legislation or appropriation which they deem necessary for the efficient conduct of the public business." Orientation Meeting A meeting with the staff of the THC is required for all grant recipients ' shortly after the grant award is announced. The project supervisor, project professional, and the grant recipient's fiscal officer are required to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to establish survey priorities and a timetable for completion, and to formalize the budget and reimbursement procedures. A time and date for the meeting will be arranged following submittal of the Request for Funding, approval of the grants by the THC, and issuance of award letters. No work should begin prior to the receipt by the THC of a signed written contract following the orientation meeting. 12 Project Implementation Project Contract - a contractual agreement (approved by the State Attorney General) specifying the approximate scope of work, a timetable for completion and budgetary concerns will be prepared by the THC on the basis of the Project Proposal and the subsequent consultations with the grant recipient. The agreement must be signed by the parties involved prior to commencement of work. Reimbursement - all payments to the grant recipient will be strictly on a reimbursement basis as a one-to-one match. Invoices and cancelled checks for total payment to the project professional(s) should be submitted by the grant recipient; one-half of these totals will then be reimbursed to the grant recipient. (See Assurances below) Reimbursement may be requested monthly, quarterly, or as a lump sum at the completion of the project. The following project documentation must be submitted to the THC in order for reimbursement to be considered: 'Procurement documents, including invitation to bid, proposals received, and a statement explaining selection of project professional. *Contractual agreement signed by the parties involved after approval of the Project Proposal. *Monthly progress reports, due at the THC by the 10th day of the following month. 'Assurances - each request for reimbursement submitted to the THC must contain: a) a letter requesting reimbursement listing the number of the request (first, second, third, etc.), time period in which costs were incurred, and current costs for reimbursement. b) verification of each cost currently claimed, including copies of statements submitted by project professional(s), and copies of timesheets signed by employees (or volunteers) and supervisors for in -kind contributions. c) verification of each corresponding payment (copes of cancelled checks). Upon receipt of project documentation, the THC will reimburse the grant recipient for one-half of the documented allowable expenditures made during the project period covered by the request. Note: The THC cannot process requests for reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the project start date. Project Review - a periodic review will be made by the National Register Programs staff of the THC to monitor project progress and to assist with any difficulties encountered. The grant recipient is responsible for informing the THC, in writing, of significant problems, delays, and/or adverse conditions that materially affect planned performance. Additional reviews may be requested by either party at any time. Following review, the contract may be amended if necessary. Amendments may be necessary if the project is proceeding more rapidly or slowly than anticipated, 13 and survey work may be added to, or deleted from the contract. Upon completion of the project, a final review session will be scheduled between the THC staff, the project professional, and the grant recipient's liaison. Grant recipients are advised to schedule final payment to the project professional following this meeting. Revisions to proposed work or costs - all revisions to the Project Proposal must be requested in writing prior to implementation. The THC will grant approval or denial in written form. Only when written approval has been granted may the proposed work be implemented. Project Certification and Final Report - 25% of the grant awards will be retained by the THC for payment upon receipt and certification of completed survey material and two copies of a detailed Final Report. All survey material will be reviewed within 21 days of submission to the National Register Programs office of the THC. Survey material may be returned if it is determined that the submitted data are incomplete. Corrected or amended survey data should be returned to the THC within 30 days for certification and final payment. Final products that do not meet the terms of the grant agreement and/or that do not, comply with the appropriate Secretary of Interior Standards and the terms of the National Register Programs Guidelines - NPS 49 will not be reimbursed. Completed survey forms, contact sheets, label sheets, photographic negatives, slides, and final reports generated by the work of the project professional shall be the property of the Commission. Fiscal Records - it is the responsibility of the grant recipient to maintain all financial records (receipts, invoices, and timetables) in accordance with Federal Management Circular A.87 and OMB A 102 (revised) for a period of three years beyond the Project End Date. It is the responsibility of the grant recipient (if state or local government) to acquire an independent audit, in accordance with OMB A-128, if the grant award is between $25,000 and $100,000 a year. However, all grant recipients, including non -profits, are encouraged to acquire an independent audit. 14 TEXAS HISTORIC SITES INVENTORY FORM — TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION (rev. 8-82) APPENDIX E 1.
