I move amendment No. 10 to amendment No. 15.

In paragraph (c)(iii), in the proposed new subsection (11), to delete "10 working days" and "2 months".

The purpose of this amendment is to allow for a reasonable timeframe. I submit that ten working days is a very short time to allow the applicant to respond. We do not know what circumstances could arise leading to the applicant not responding within ten days. Two months is a more reasonable period. The overall time limits in this section are unreasonable.
