- About this plate
- APPORTIONED (International Registration Plan). Included because it is separately serialized with its own grammar and its own fixed expiry, and because the three fixed-expiry non-passenger classes together are the clearest evidence for the file's central claim: Massachusetts encodes expiry in the SERIAL only where expiry VARIES per registrant. Where the whole class expires on one day, the month code disappears and the character budget goes to sequence instead.
