Your reference is Fig.UW.13.1.
If you want more help, pls provide a sketch with all the relevant dimensions (including the position of the tangent line and geometry of the weld).

Keep in mind, the taper may be accomplished by weld metal. If this is done other requirements apply.

 

[GenB]

Taper is mandatory. It may be possible to be done now if access permits.
