AFI 48-158 is superseded by AFI 90-821 and has been rescinded

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

Citations that no longer resolve

These Code of Federal Regulations references appear in AFI 90-821 but are not in the current CFR — checked against the eCFR structure API. A part can vanish because it was removed or reorganised, and some references are simply mistyped in the source publication. Either way the pointer is dead: verify before relying on it, and check every publication affected.

Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
