30、ariety 2, process I boxes, fabricated as specified in 3.1.1.1.1 through 3.1.1.1.4, shall have the inner surface of the box treated, coated, or laminated with a plastic sheet, to provide the resistant feature required. Weatherproof paperboard is not required. Linings and coatings shall remain continu
31、ously bonded to the paperboard.
