A record is what a source reported on the date it was captured, not a legal effective date. An unobserved record is not a finding that no restrictions exist.

Other captures of this record

The atlas also holds 22 other captures for American Samoa in this area, such as earlier versions of a source's charts. They show how a source described the policy when it was captured. A difference in wording between captures is not by itself a change in the law, and these captures are not a timeline of the policy.
