- East New England and West New England sections are replaced by the North New England and the South New England
- North Texas (including DFW Metro area) is split from the current Texas section and will join the Ozarks section in the new Red River section.
- The rest of Texas is now in the new South Texas section
- The Northwest Plains section is split into Northwest Plains and North Plains sections
- A new section, Central Appalachia, is created in the Mid-Atlantic. Parts of Founders and Capital are reallocated.
