Starting a new thread from the ISU Congress thread for the Changes in General Regulations, Special Regulations and Technical Rules - link to ISU Communication no. 2014: http://static.isu.org/media/339062/2014-sandp_changes-accepted-by-the-2016-isu-congress.pdf
Program Component categories (5): Skating Skills, Transitions, Performance, Composition, Interpretation of the Music (Timing for Ice Dance).
(5 components before: Skating Skills, Transitions/Linking Footwork/Movement, Performance/Execution, Choreography/Composition, Interpretation & Interpretation/Timing for dance)
Re-posting @gkelly's reply in the ISU Congress 2016 thread re. the revisions in the Definition of Program Components:

Re-posting @gkelly's reply in the ISU Congress 2016 thread re. the revisions in the Definition of Program Components:
Interesting that they have reworded the Program Component criteria somewhat significantly. There really haven't been changes there since the beginning of IJS.
@Theoreticalgirl's post:There's still some vagueness, but some of the overlap has been eliminated -- e.g., removing the "Proportion (equal weight of parts)" and "Unity (purposeful threading)" criteria under Choreography (renamed Composition) and replacing "Intricacy" with "Continuity of movements from one element to another" under Transitions.
I understand that to mean that telegraphing, for example, would be properly penalized under Transitions but not specifically under Composition. And that busy-ness (i.e., just sticking in a higher quantity of transitional moves for the sake of "intricacy") would not be rewarded under Transitions, but rather that one move should lead to another, counting both the elements and any additional moves.
I found this footnote interesting:
*Finesse is the Skater's refined, artful manipulation of music details and nuances through movement. It is unique to the Skater/Skaters, and demonstrates an inner feeling for the music and the composition. Nuances 3 are the personal ways of bringing subtle variations to the intensity, tempo, and dynamics of the music made by the composer and/or musicians.
