They are asking for an extension to March 2, 2015. Please let us know in writing if this date is acceptable to you. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Mr. Triplett,

The program office apologizes for the delay in responding to your request. As you might imagine there is a tremendous amount of data that needs to be reviewed and they have requested an additional extension to April 30, 2015, let us know if this date is acceptable. In the meantime, they have an interim report available for release that covers August 1, 2014 – November 6, 2014 with over 3,000 lines of data. Would you be interested in receiving this report to determine if you want to rescope your original request.

Thanks in advance for your assistance, take care and have a nice day.

Ms. McLean,

Yes, I would be interested in receiving an interim report which covers August 1, 2014 - November 6, 2014. The date requested for an extension, April 30th, would also be fine.

Thank you,
Donald Triplett, III
