Errata

An errata was published on May 14th 2026 as a result of updates to links and references on PDF page 4 (Footnotes 4 and 5), page 8 (paragraph 1.23 and Footnote 13), and page 16 (Footnote 24). These amendments update referenced guidance and technical documents. The HTML and PDF have been updated to reflect these changes.
