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.
