Thanks. Yes, you are free to request an expedited review, but as usual, we cannot guarantee anything. We will try, though. Karen

Hi Karen,

Thanks. Ill process the 83-C request with Bobs assistance tomorrow, as well as the request for a revision. I understand that its possible for us to ask for an expedited review. Given the time sensitive nature of this request, we will be requesting such a review.

Thanks for your assistance,

Brendan

Subject: change requests

Brendan, thanks for sending the additional information. Based on what you provided, we concur that the Massachusetts change qualifies as non-substantive, so go ahead and submit that as an 83-C. (Bob Sargis knows the process for change requests, so he can help you with the procedural issues).

As I noted in a previous email, the change in incentives does not qualify as a non-substantive change, so please submit a revision request if you would like to make that change.

Thanks.

Karen
