The exemption seems to still be there PSPS Dec 2011 #26

It seems that section 1021 isn't what the OP is primarily about cthulu2016 Dec 2011 #28

Section 1031 is only about briefings PSPS Dec 2011 #29

A typo, I guess > > > cthulu2016 Dec 2011 #31

No, 1033 just changes dates and makes other unrelated clarifications PSPS Dec 2011 #39
