Your close. I think that this would fall under the category of "tolerance of joint dimensions". Additionally, I was going to recommend that you look in the index, but there is no reference for this criteria under "backing".

1/16" [2 mm]. Check 5.22.1.1 of D1.1.

Your pretty handy to have around! Ever think about writing articles for a welding magazine?
