rounded to two significant figures as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Rounded
                                                                down to
                      Nominal power (kW)                        nearest
                                                                 figure
                                                                  (kW)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below 0.25...................................................      0.001
0.25 to 0.99.................................................       0.01
1 to 9.9.....................................................        0.1
10 to 50.....................................................          1
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (b) In rounding the nominal power in accordance with paragraph (a) 
of this section the RMS shall be adjusted accordingly. If rounding 
upward to the nearest figure would result in objectionable interference, 
the nominal power specified on the application is to be rounded downward 
to the next nearest figure and the RMS adjusted accordingly.
