Error in sequence file or table shells file for 2013?

If the table shells are not specific to individual ACS data releases, why are they named as if they were?

Nick, are you saying that a table shell file released with a specific ACS data release may not apply to the data it appears to be associated with? If not, where can we obtain a definitive table shells file for a specific release? The table shell files are critical for our ACS data processing.

Looking back at the three 2012 ACS table shell files, they are all different. If what you're saying is correct, why would they be different? Why doesn't the Bureau publish a single table shells file for all three annual releases? It would be much less confusing.

The 1-year table shells for 2012 do NOT include B02005, B02006, or B02007, while the 2012 3- and 5-year table shells do.
