D. Alteration Requirement Procedures

1. Any document that warrants printing warrants the efforts necessary to present that document to the printer properly compiled, organized, complete, and error free.

2. Since changes made in manuscripts, layout, color, type style, etc., which are all considered alterations, are very costly to the state once the printer has begun work, the following guidelines are hereby imposed:

a. galley proofs-any changes made in the galley proof stage that total more than 25 percent of the total original lines set, will require a letter of authorization from the secretary of the department;

b. page proofs (following galleys)-any changes made in the page proof stage that total more than 10 percent of the total lines and 25 percent of the total pages, will require a letter of authorization from the secretary of the department;

c. page proofs (no galleys)-any changes made in the page proof stage that total more than 25 percent of the total lines and 33 percent of the total pages, will require a letter of authorization from the secretary of the department;

d. blueline proofs-at this stage it is extremely expensive to make changes. Therefore no changes will be allowed without a letter of authorization from the secretary of the department.
