As name changes occur in agencies, divisions, bureaus, units, offices, programs and processes, these changes require updates to various sections of the Online Manual and WAG pages. The name changes will be announced as they occur. However, a manual release will not be issued listing each section updated with the new name unless there is a policy or procedural change.
