While the term 'approved' would mean accepted, permitted, agreed and considered, the word listed would also mean the same thing. If you are listed, it could mean you are permitted, therefore there is an agreement and acceptance, and so, there is an approval. A list is also a plan that is approved. It is necessary for the approved items to be listed and kept for future references, in the same manner, that listed items, must be set aside for future consideration.In contrast, approved things may be listed, but a list of things may not be approved.
