Greg,
Further to my previous reply, I went out to my boat (it is still sitting
high and dry beside my house) and checked my commercial NA. Information can
be found on the same page, same section as the Government version.
Lest you feel foolish for missing it, I sifted through some previous
almanacs and noted that I had written "equation of time" on the margin of
the appropriate section which tells me that I had a hard time finding it
myself!
