This phrase often introduces which rules or sections of a diagram relate to a specific topic (e.g., 'the following fees pertain to overnight parking'). When scanning a chart, use this phrase to quickly locate the section relevant to the question's topic rather than reading the entire diagram. It functions similarly to 'apply to' or 'concern'.
Synonyms: relate to, concern, apply to
