<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif">We are hopeful that everyone had a safe and restful weekend. As you are aware, NC-SARA will propose updates to the 19.2 version of the SARA Manual, introducing version 20.2 to the
board at the May 2020 NC-SARA Board Meeting. NC-SARA President, Lori Williams, graciously extended the comments deadline another week to Friday, March 27, 2020, to give compacts and states more time to consider and comment on the updates.

RSC, as well as a second opportunity to submit your comments. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
