We've been looking at PCC statistics for new series authorities and I
thought I'd share my findings with everyone, so that we have a better
understanding of what the PCC would be making up for now that LC has
ceased creating series authorities. I've looked at statistics for fiscal
years 2004 and 2005, and 7 months of stats available for FY2006. I'd like
to thank Carolyn Sturtevant of the LC Coop. Cat. Team for obtaining for me
the numbers for LC's production in FY2006.
