Well, not exactly. There is no earlist point but there is a 40:1 (or, more practically 200 feet per mile)
minimum limit.

Yes, but that is implicit from the fact that this climb gradient
minimum applies to the procedure in question unless otherwise stated.

Picking at nits: Not everyone that works with this stuff agrees that there is a 200' per mile CG requirement
for TERPs missed approach procedures. Historically, the 40:1 has been known as an obstacle identification
surface (OIS). OTOH, with DPs the 40:1 is an initial assessment surface, then a peformance slope is
established.
