This change is an editorial change. The exceptions in the 2000 edition applied to the base paragraph that had all threerequirements in it. When the committee removed the exceptions and placed only one requirement per each paragraph, theyincorrectly numbered the paragraphds such that the exception would only apply to one of the three requirements that was in thebase paragraph in the 2000 edition. Adding the paragraph references to 33.2.3.4.3.6 and 7 will fix this editorial mistake.
