Has 670-1 done away with "commercially mounted" ribbon racks (the old version specifically mentioned it - the new one I can't find it)?

There used to be a specific passage that said Soldiers could commercially mount ribbons and said that the backing must be black or match the uniform. It doesn't seem to carry that passage at all anymore in either AR or the DA PAM. Unless I'm missing it somewhere.

In 11-6 the PAM states that the uniform may be worn with accessories and further states that the uniform may be purchased from commercial sources, but then it remains the Soldier's responsibility to ensure it is compliant. I know the PAM specifically mentions commercial variants nearly everywhere else, but this reads fairly clear in my humble opinion.
