Robb,
The documentation at address below :
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_temp4-31.shtml
is not the template 4.31 but template 4.30 (obsolete)
The documentation is on the WMO web site
ftp://www.wmo.int/Documents/MediaPublic/Publications/WMO306_CodesManual
  named "WMO_306_VolI2_en.pdf"
you'll find template 4.30 and 4.31 descriptions pages 85 and 86.
