The majority of the CIP codes will be designated as 'no substantive changes' relative to the previous CIP version. Codes that were added to this version of the CIP are designated as 'new'. Codes that were removed from the previous version of the CIP are designated as 'deleted'. Codes that were relocated will have two references: one in the former location (it moved from that old location) and one in its current location (it moved to the new location).
