Section 33.3 - Incorporation by reference(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), any documents on file with an agency may be incorporated by reference into a subsequently filed pleading, submittal, or other document. A document may be so incorporated only by reference to the specific document and to the prior filing in which it was physically filed, not to another document which incorporates it by reference.(b) No document which has been on file with any agency for a period of more than 10 years may be incorporated by reference in a current document unless the person filing the current document first makes inquiry to the office of the agency and ascertains that the earlier document continues to be readily available in the active records of the agency.
