:7 The‘EounEies shown here are derived from the complete lists of ob—
3ections found in Attachments D-1 and 0-2, and are based on our has:
available information. It should be noted, however, that variations

in interpretation of the bail-out standard are pOSSible.

In parentheses next to the jurisdiction is the year of the most recent
objection to a submission by a county or a political or geographical sub-
division thereof. In Virginia, independent Cities have been conSidered
counties for the purpose of this table. For fully covered states the
year of the most recent obgection to a state enactment appears in paren-
theses next to the State name. Under the bail-out standard of H.R. 3112
any obgection whatsoever in such states would serve as a bar to bail-out.

The table includes a limited number of counties that received
objections which were later withdrawn after a jurisdiction altered the sub-
mission, thereby removing the basis for the objection. Not con51dered for
this table, however, are objections later withdrawn Without alteration of
the original submission (if included, the following jurisdictions would be
added: Chatham, Lanier, Mitchell and Rockdale counties in Georgia; East
Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana; Hinds County in MisaiSSippi; Craven and
Edgecombe counties in North Carolina; Brazos, Ward and Hidland counties in
Texas; and the City of Suffolk in Virginia).
