There was a change to 7110.65 last year (version "V") following NTSB safety recommendations after the CO1404 accident. Gusts are now to be included when reporting surface winds (when applicable).

See paragraph 2-4-17(g). The new wording in bold:
g. Surface wind. The word “wind” followed by the
separate digits of the indicated wind direction to the
nearest 10−degree multiple, the word “at” and the
separate digits of the indicated velocity in knots, to
include any gusts.
