Historical Changes

2010	Data Changes: Length changed from 14 to 40. CCR name (First_Name) changed to NAACCR name.
2011	Data Changes: Changed to NPCR edit per Note: As of the NAACCR v12.1 metafile, the NAACCR edit of the same name has been deleted. We are using the NPCR edit because we don't allow blanks (the COC edit allows blanks). This edit now allows hyphens.
