-- PLSS SECTION DATA FILES BY STATE
-- =====================================================================
--
-- Each file in directory "/MiscellaneousFiles/SECTIONS"
-- contains valid PLSS addresses for
-- the state in question (determined by the first two characters of
-- the file name, e.g. MOsections.zip = Missouri).
--
-- The PLSS addresses include all known section numbers, in preparation
-- for Crop Year 2003 business, when Legal IDs will be fully validated.
-- Each file is pre-sorted in county/township/range/section sequence.
--
-- The record layout for each file is as follows:
--
-- Columns  1 -  3    County FIPS Code
-- Columns  4 -  7    Township
-- Columns  8 - 11    Range
-- Columns 12 - 14    Section number
-- Columns 15 - 17    Future Use
--
-- These files are intended to be used for reference purposes: if a
-- company has a legal address on a policy that is NOT in the
-- correct file, or is assigned to an incorrect county, they should
-- notify their DQS representative immediately, supplying any supporting
-- documentation.
-- When the issue has been verified by RMA, a new file for the state in
-- question will be reloaded (if necessary) and a note included in that
-- week's DAS Status Report.
--
-- If, for any reason, it becomes necessary for RMA to modify and reload
-- any files, companies will be notified in the DAS Status Report.
