 | | For example, Autauga County, Alabama, with a county code of 001, is assigned a FIPS 55 code of 99001 in the Alabama file; Montgomery County, Maryland, with a county code of 031, is assigned a FIPS 55 code of 99031 in the Maryland file. |
 | | The county-equivalent codes assigned to these cities in FIPS PUB 6-4 are NOT used to create FIPS 55 codes because appropriate place codes are already assigned to the independent cities in the main sequence of this FIPS PUB. |
