<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As you see the final four bullets have not been completed. Typically the OIRA review takes several weeks. We were asked if ED could ask for the OIRA review to be expedited. Perhaps
it could but note the OIRA review is for all administrative agencies. There are currently more than 140 regulatory actions under review by OIRA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">There could be many reasons why ED could choose to wait on the regulations. Rather than speculate as to why, we will share that we believe the next steps will be clearer after the
election. After the election, SAN and WCET will communicate with members with the information that we learn. Please stay tuned!<o:p></o:p></p>
