From the transcript
And, you know, appreciate being— the opportunity to be here today just to share information about the process, to assist you with your oversight, share information with the public about the status of these conveyances. As was discussed previously related to the HFC matters, but the same applies to the ADA matters, those are preliminary decisions that have received public comment. We have— Department has not issued a final decision, so we are still in a deliberative process about developing a potential final decision. So there are some limitations as to what I can speak to as to, you know, we don't have a final decision, so we don't have a determination on some of these issues that have obviously been a matter of public concern and naturally are a source of questions from the committee. But so Director Collis and I are here to speak about the process that has occurred to date, the timeline, some of the considerations that have been touched on, and also to talk about qualitatively and typically how some of these processes as those processes evolve.
