Policy statements are sequenced by section and identified by a four digit numeric code. The first two digits identify the subject area, while the third and fourth digits indicate the specific policy within the subject area, e.g., policy number 1210 identifies the tenth policy of subject area 12, PROCUREMENT/DISBURSEMENTS.
Each policy statement is presented in a standardized format. The first section identifies the policy number and policy title. The next section of each page indicates the subject area, responsible office, the office or group having the authority to approve changes to the policy, issue date, and revision date. This is followed by the actual policy information.
