While Page 1 content is still valid Page 12 content is overwritten by August 2006 Memo to USCIS District officers.
But you can still get Interim EAD, the only glitch is that local offices are prohibited from issuing interim EAD's. They make a request to a office where your EAD renewal is pending for more than 90 days. So, it is up to that source office to adjudicate pending EAD or issue interim EAD. The trend is that VSC is prompt with these emails and usually approves within two weeks and sends the new card ( either interimEAD or EAD). Looks like TSC takes time. We have asked for interim EAD on October 22nd and no news or updates or nothing in email or mailbox. We were asked to come back to local office if we do not receive any response in two weeks.

I asked my lawyer, she said the Interim EAD was no longer available this summer
I asked my lawyer's office about the interim EAD, Her assistant said the Interim EAD was no longer available this summer, though not sure when exactly.
I am planning to apply EAD 4-5 months ahead, just assume this is true.
Please note I have not find any official documents saying about interim EAD, so make your own judgement.
