I need clarification on TIAs for the 2014 NEC. There are several Erratas and TIAs. TIA 14-2 adds a date when a portable generator is required to have GFCI protection. This sentence with the date is not in the ROP or ROC. Is the TIA an omission from the ROP and ROC process?

Here is the TIA >>added sentence<<
445.20 Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter Protection for Receptacles on 15 kW or Smaller Portable Generators. All
125-volt, single-phase, 15-and 20-ampere receptacle outlets that are a part of a 15-kW or smaller portable generator either
shall have ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel integral to the generator or receptacle or shall not be
available for use when the 125/250-volt locking-type receptacle is in use.
>>If the generator was manufactured or remanufactured prior to January 1, 2015, listed cord sets or devices incorporating listed ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection for personnel identified for portable use shall be permitted. <<
If the generator does not have a 125/250-volt locking-type receptacle, this requirement shall not apply.

That same article is in the 2011 590.6(3) with a date of Jan. 1, 2011. But it doesn't have the last sentence
