79. Thank you. Mr. Smiley. I was on the committee for this, and the changes are hard to describe, but were driven in part by conflicts in the community that we had and definitions that seemed logical at the time but turned out to be problematic over time. We tried to straighten those out, um, and we had a good working relationship with Alaska Waste doing this.
