What should be included in the 'REQUESTED CHANGE/ADDITION' section of the code change request?

Including proposed wording for the change or addition with strikethrough and underlining in the 'REQUESTED CHANGE/ADDITION' section is crucial because it provides clarity and specificity. This method visually distinguishes the existing text from the proposed amendments, allowing for immediate recognition of what is being modified, removed, or added. By showing the exact wording that is intended to replace or augment the current provisions, it facilitates a more informed review process, enabling stakeholders and decision-makers to understand the implications of the proposed change clearly.

The other options do not convey the necessary detail or clarity required for an effective change request. Simply providing new provisions without context fails to demonstrate how these provisions interact with the existing code or why they are necessary. A summary of existing codes lacks specificity regarding what is being changed and may not provide the necessary detail for decision-makers to understand the purpose of the change. Listing stakeholders affected by the changes, while important for assessing potential impacts, does not contribute to the clarity of the request itself and may not adequately express the technical amendments being proposed.
