What style manual does the Service use for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling rules?
We use the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual, which is available on the Internet and in hard copy. 2.11 How do I modify an existing chapter? If you want to make a minor change or update a chapter, and it does not require an extensive revision, you can amend the chapter. See Exhibit 4 for an example of how to write and format an amendment. A. To amend the chapter, you: (1) Prepare an amendment using the format shown in Exhibit 4. The amendment must include a brief description of its purpose and a clear explanation of what you are changing or adding. (2) Prepare a surname package as described in 011 FW 3. B. Do not amend a chapter more than once. If your chapter has already been amended, then make revisions and send the entire, revised chapter through the surname process.
