==Sponsoring Person==
	Austin Kreisler, SAIC

==JUSTIFICATION DETAIL:==
Add new identifier type codes for specimen identifier to HL7 table 0203 (Identifier Type Codes). Also add identifier type code for accession number.  There are companion proposals to add new fields for alternate specimen ids and accession ids to the SPM segment as CX data types. This proposal is to add identifier type codes to support those new fields.
