Transponder reminder: 1202, do NOT ident unless requested by ATC

Reminders from the SSF/SSA safety briefing at Reno:

(1) The 1202 transponder code for gliders is effective
nationwide this week. Do contact your local ATC and
make sure they are expecting this...

(2) Do NOT press IDENT unless specifically requested
to do so by ATC.

Lets all be good neighbors out there,
Thanks,

I went to the FAA web site to look for the new order which should be
JO 7110.66E, but found nothing but the old order (just subtract one
letter from the end of the one I've just mentioned.) One would think
that the Feds would have the current order posted along with the
effective date. On the other hand they may be waiting until Feb. 9 to
make it available on the internet to the un-washed masses.
I'll check again after that date.

Apologies, I'm repeating what was briefed,
but I did not get the relevant publication ID.
It would be great if anybody can find it...
Effective date is 9-February.
Thanks,

We have received confirmation from Tucson TRACON to change our
dedicated glider transponder code from the present 0400 to the new
National 1202 on February 9th. Our President asked for this
confirmation from them, but they have obviously been informed.

I was shown a set of initial documentation changes back in May 2011. Don't
know if the final changes were similar. I'd be happy to send anyone a .pdf
copy of those changes. Email me at rick dot fuller at cox dot net for a
copy.

On 2 Feb 2012, Notice JO7110.577 was signed out by the FAA informing
all ATC facilities to monitor the 1202 Glider Code, effective on 7
March 2012.

I could only find 7110.66D which lists the 1201 code for gliders.
There is an internal FAA Change Notice Document dated May 2011 to
change AIM, FARs and 7110.65 plus other FAA Documnets to the 1202
code, effective 9 Feb 2012.

Thanks - Does this mean that the effective date
is really 7-March (and not 9-February as briefed) ?
