This National Interpretation is an incorrect interpretation of the CC:

The National Interpretation incorrectly presumes that two components are not hierarchical if the assignments and selections of the lower one can be completed to result in the higher one. This is not the case. In fact, many of the families are designed to have the higher component cover all of some aspect, and the higher component provide only a subset of that aspect. If the lower component could be completed to exceed the higher one, the relationship would not be a hierarchy. While the difference in wording between FDP_SEP.2.3 and 3.3 is potentially confusing, it results from the fact that only a subset of policies need be covered by SEP.2. If all policies are covered, then "those SFPs" becomes "all SFPs", which is the same as "the TSP".
