(c)
				If more than one major activity or division exists within an agency, an
				uppercase letter shall be added to the title number to distinguish the major
				activities or divisions. Individual agencies within a group of closely related
				agencies sharing a title number shall also be designated by an uppercase letter
				following the title number. Letters added to title numbers are considered a
				part of the title number. (Example: Department of State adding to title number
				1 the letters A, B, etc., so that they read 1A, 1B, etc.).
(d) If a unit of government which has
				independent rulemaking authority performs a function within a major activity of
				an agency or is a part of an individual agency which is one of a closely
				related group of agencies sharing a common title number, the title number and
				letter shall be followed by an Arabic numeral which shall be part of the title
				number. (Example: 6C1, 6C2, etc.)
(e) If more than one function exists within a
				division, within a major activity of an agency or within an agency included in
				a group of closely related agencies sharing a title number, a hyphen followed
				by a separate chapter number shall be used to designate rules applicable to
				each function. (Example: 1A-1 and 6C1-2).
(f) A decimal point shall follow each chapter
				number. The digits immediately following the decimal point shall identify rules
				within a chapter. Each rule shall be numbered with a minimum of three digits
				after the decimal point. (Example:
				 1-1.008).
(g) Following is a description of each
				component of a rule citation for Rule
				 1-1.008: Title Number (1);
				Division (B); Chapter (30); and the three digit identification number
				(.001).
