Dr. Alan Wall:
No. I need to be accurate here. UL does not submit anything to us for approval. It makes an application for funding and describes the elements of that funding but it requires no approval from us for the purchase of land under the Act. The bottom line is that it was not looking for approval to purchase land. It was apprising us of its change of mind about the shape of its application in a competition for funds.
