Jim, thanks for the run down on this is. I especially find the information about our State's regulatory process most interesting. Although many of us are aware of the federal process, I have not come across much on the State's. Can you set us straight on the horseshoe crab regulations? We thought we were waiting for a comment period, but I now I hear the regs are in place. Was this a different process, or did we all miss the call for comments?
