We have to ask for stuff for the IP and wait on the public notice anyway so you should still be able to issue yours before ours. If you can scan a copy of what you got and email it to Sheri or put it in Laserfiche, Sheri can do what she needs to in BIMS to make it a Q.

I thought the NW12 was coming in first and that was going to be the 2016-0066 v2 but it looks like we got this one first? I only ask b/c we were going to have whichever came in first as the v2 that would replace the previous 401. We can do it either way, just want to make sure we don't have multiple 401 approvals covering the same impact!
