Dear all,

Purpose: The Independent Review Process Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT) is seeking further public comments on the Time for Filing rule (Updated Supplementary Procedure rule #4, Time for Filing).

Current Status: The IOT reviewed the results of the 28 November 2016 public comments on its draft Updated Supplementary Procedures (USP) for the Independent Review Process (IRP) and noted that a significant number of comments did not support the proposed limitations underpinning rule #4. In response to this the IOT is proposing significant amendments to this rule.

Next Steps: Following the public comment period the inputs will be analyzed by the IOT who will consider amending the amended rule in light of the comments received and will publish a report on the results of the public consultation. If significant changes are required as a result of the public consultation the IOT may opt to have a further public comment period on these changes. If there are no significant changes this rule will be included in the USP.
