Issue: Provide
comments to the workshop on the proposed revision to Rule 9B-72.130.
Purpose: To restrict applications for approval of products to
150 products per application and to remove specific reference to fee amounts on
the screens
Background:
August 10, 2009:
Committee Action: The POC recommends that
the number of lines in an application be limited to 150 and this means that the
application will be limited to 150 product sequence numbers. This would
only be applicable to new and revised applications. This will not apply
to editorial changes or affirmations. Rulemaking will be necessary to
proceed with implementation with this request.
