meeting time and location. We currently expect to conduct an Entrance on Monday, late

afternoon, and an Exit early on Friday morning. Also, please inform me of any required

docs/actions needed to acquire/maintain site access for the scheduled inspectors. Thank

you!

NOTE:

The information requested for an in-office review may be provided in either electronic or

paper media or a combination of these. Information provided in electronic media may be in

the form of uploads for an online secured document management service, e-mail

attachments, or CD. The agency's text editing software is MS Word ; however, we have

document viewing capability for Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) text files. Information requested to be
