Section :  6.8
Page no. :  36
Line no.:  9-12
Comment :  Applicability is ambiguous -- which in the circumstances, invites conflict and litigation. Text states that 6.8 is applicable only if the "state decides to require" VVAT. What if state permits, but does not require it? What if Federal or local jurisdiction require it, but state does not? Are Guidelines then inapplicable? Delete last sentence of first paragraph of 6.8.
