Beth,

Go back twenty pages in the _CCM_.  In Module 4, page 13, you will
find
        "Note: A corporate body used as main entry does not have to be
'justified' in the description.  In other words, while the body will
in most cases appear somewhere else in the record, it does not have to
in order to be used as the main entry."

The chart that you mention is meant as kind of a review of parts of the
module, comparing main entries with added entries.  Under section 4.8
several pages before the chart there is a small box that states "All added
entries must be "justified" in the record (AACRs 21.29F)."  After that it
goes on to explain that the corporate body used as an added entries must be
mentioned somewhere else in the record in order to "justify" the added
entry, whereas in the main entry it does not have to be mentioned anywhere
else in the record.

I use the CCM a great deal and find it immensely helpful.
