In this particular case, yes a copy is in LPALIB. But you can install usermods into SYS1.LPALIB or SYS1.LINKLIB (for example) regardless. I have been at shops that install JES2 exits into LINKLIB (we do that here in some environments, or maybe into SHASLNKE now - although they just have to be in a LNKLST library).
