analysis of the data, we have identified several areas that appear to be.
inconsistent with our understand 1hg of the materials licensing process and
.with the current fee schedule. The' items in question are as follows:
1.
More hours are reported-for renewals than for new applications for-fee categories 38 3E, 3M, 3P, 6A, and 7C. We note that the hours:
reported for 6A renewals are more than double the hours for new-applications.
