Close coupled expressions for phenomenological cross sections which describe transport properties of atom--diatom mixtures are obtained in the total-J coupling scheme and are related to the bracket integrals of kinetic theory. Coupled states and infinite order sudden expressions for the generalized phenomenological cross sections using initial, final, and average l-labeling are also given. Particular care is taken to use a phase convention for the CS and IOS approximations which is consistent with the Arthurs--Dalgarno formalism and which gives the correct behavior of degeneracy averaged differential cross sections.
