The changes include revisions to:
- Financial Topics (deposits, returns, excess funds)
- Financial audit details
- Monitoring and Adaptive Management guidelines
- Supplemental Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Statement procedures
And the addition of:
- Appendix E (guidelines for appending the Standard Operating Procedures)
