The schedule allows for the staff to issue a request for additional information (RAI) in November 2019 and, if a second RAI is not needed, approval of the alternative request in February 2020, based on you responding to the first RAI in December 2019. In general, no additional changes to the application should be submitted except for changes resulting from your response to a RAI.
