Egg on our face, to be sure. Frustration? Beyond your comprehension. This will be fixed and has a mandated maximum 120 day window. If your exemption is about to expire, renew it.
From all of us working on this issue, our sincere apologies for the premature announcement that we had a successful result. Please get on the phone and spread the word to anyone not on the automatic email system.
