The fact that an elite coriunity has known about EI/.P for nine years does not preclude adniteien cf the issue, to this Intervenor's knowledge.
Practien11y, e new issue has arisen and the burden rests sauarely upon the Applicent to assure this Licensinet Scard and Intereenor - + E.JP at F;.FF in treated pronerly.
