Effective immediately, Library Services and Content Management (LCSM) will cease using cutter numbers on the hearings issued from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs:

SuDoc Y 4.F 76/1:
Item nos. 1017-A-07 (P), 1017-B-07 (MF)

LSCM will use the serial number that is on the hearing as the suffix for the SuDoc class. This new procedure is consistent with the classification numbers assigned to other Congressional committee hearings. Chapter 5 of the GPO Classification Manual outlines this practice. Publications classified prior to this announcement will not be changed to reflect this new practice.

For example:

Title: U.S. Security Assistance to Mexico: Hearing before the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Tenth Congress, first session, October 25, 2007.
Serial no. 110-115
SuDoc Class: Y 4.F 76/1:110-115
