Preliminary Change #324 had an error where the Cleared Time and the Arrival Time were transposed in the second section of the two referenced edits. In addition, some of the "Change Dates" erroneously showed a year of 2007 instead of 2008. These issues have been corrected and the preliminary specification files have been reposted for download. The new files have been given unique names (NFIRS_Spec_Changes_History_2009_R1.pdf and NFIRS_Spec_Tables_2009_R1.xls) so that they can be easily differentiated from the originals.
