As per:

It seems that prashna 27 contains just that

Works of Aapasthamba
Maharishi Aapasthamba was himself embodiment of Veda. His Sutras are
entirely Vedic. He was appointed as ‘Sutrapravartaka’ Rishi by Brahma
in order to firmly establish, protect and propagate Vedic dharmas. He
carried out his divine duties responsibly and authored Sutras with
great mastery. The commentators of Sutras accept that among Sutra
works, Aapasthamba Sutras have a special place owing to their style
and deep meaning.
Aapasthamba has written Sutras for complete Yajurveda, known as
Adhvaryu branch (of Veda). They are of three types: Sroutham, Grihyam
and Dharmam. In Sroutha Sutras, he explains yaga karmas as per rules
of Yajur Veda. Grihya Sutram deals with Smartha karmas like
upanayanam, marriage etc. Dharma Sutram goes into common dharmas.
Aapasthamba wrote Sutras, consisting of 30 Prasnas (sections). They
cover dhamas of Sroutham, Grihyam and Smartham. In 5 Prasnas starting
from the 25th, Grihyas and Smarthas are covered. Here Smartham refers
to Prakrita Dharma Sutram. 24 Prasnas deal completely with Sroutha
karmas. In the 25th, Paribhasha, Houtram and Pravaram are covered; in
the 26th, usage of mantras in marriage etc.; in the 27th, Grihya
usages including Pitru medham; in the 29th and 30th Prasnas,
kalpasutras for yagavedis (altars for yagas). This is the division of
subjects in Aapasthamba’s 30 Prasnas; this is clear from the ‘karika’
of Kapardi.
