The costing has been done. I asked and the answer is that individual costing items are a closed-session item. The total value of TA is open.

What was the result of the JV changes?
Also a valid point. It is a concession in negotiations. Please talk to your reps.
The description JV language is being reviewed for publication. We reviewed this morning and the explanation for the change in calculation and look back. Sorry for the delay.
