Good Morning,

Please see the 2nd memo listed in DODD’s Memo Monday below. Many of you have asked about whether/when training on the new NMT/Transportation rules will be provided. It looks like DODD will be hosting a webinar regarding the rule changes next Thursday Jan 9 at 2:30. OPRA will also be developing guidance for our members regarding the rule changes in the coming weeks.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
