For example: 0801003756 year 2008 of the month of January 01 and sequential number 003756. The system also assigns a suffix to continuing review/continuation (hereinafter referred to as renewals) and amendments. The renewals, continuations, and amendments are numbered consecutively. The first renewal will be assigned the number R001, the next R002, and so on. Continuations are numbered starting from C001, C002 etc. Amendments are numbered similarly, assigning numbers to amendments as A001, A002, A003, etc. This is not the same as the Document Id.
