EPA Publication Numbering System
---------------------------------------------------------

The EPA publications numbering system was designed in 1991 to provide easier
identification, tracking and dissemination of publications. Each publication
number identifies:

   * The responsible organization producing the publication.
   * A specific office/division within the organization.
   * An alpha descriptor of the document type.
   * Calendar year in which the publication was produced.
   * And the sequential number identifying how many of that type of
     publication were produced within that particular organization during
     the calendar year.

Example: 200-B-96-001 indicates a publication from Administration &
Resources Management (see Table 1); a reference (see Table 2); produced in
1996; the first publication of that type issued in the year.
