\section{Filament 3 ("BC\_24.95-0.17")}  Filament 3 is not a confirmed bone, receiving a quality grade of "C." With an aspect ratio of $36:1$, it fails our criterion 6 (minimum aspect ratio of $50:1$). It also weakly satisfies our criterion 4 (within 10 km/s of the \textit{p-v} fit to any Milky Way arm), lying 10 km/s below the \citet{Shane_1972} fit to HI for the Scutum-Centaurus arm. Despite lying at the upper limit of criterion 4, it strongly satisfies criterion 3, falling about 3 pc from the physical Galactic midplane.
