The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page. In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page. In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

(b) The encumbered balance of an appropriation account at the end of the fiscal year shall be carried over to and become a part of the appropriation account for the ensuing fiscal year, provided that the encumbrances outstanding at year end represent the estimated amount of the expenditures ultimately to result if unperformed obligations in process at year end are completed.

Encumbered balances carried over to the ensuing fiscal year shall not be reported as expenditures for the previous fiscal year, but as reservations of fund balance for subsequent fiscal year expenditures.
