Hmmm. Dissimilar from the old forms in that there is no space for a fin code or approving signature(s) IAW the FAA. Is this intended to be attached to a CF52 maybe?
You are correct...a CF 52 must accompany the forms.
Thought it might be useful to share the administrative instructions being undertaken by our command to claim for TAA. Some items have been omitted or changed to remove pers names and organizations.

Phase 3: the ORs will calculate Class B and B/A pers during the period 1 Apr 06 to 31 Mar 07.
Phase 4: the ORs will identify calculate Class B and B/A pers during the period 25 Mar 03 to 31 Mar 06.
