They provided valuable perspectives from the consumer and SSP side of things and helped shape the guidelines. They have also approved the current iteration of the guidelines with the understanding that we will review and discuss any stakeholder feedback before finalizing things. We all felt it was important that the DBCC members and stakeholders have an opportunity to review and weigh in on the document.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>These guidelines were also presented at the DBCC meeting on 4/11. An optional quarterly hour "bucket" option was added at the suggestion of Paul Martz. Also, during our subcommittee meeting today, we decided to remove the previous purposed mileage bucket as to not restrict consumers who may have varying assignments/lengths. This removal comes with the understanding that there is reasonable flexibility with mileage as long as the average remains 50 miles per assignment (75 for rural areas).<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif'>As I explained during the DBCC meeting yesterday, the key here is flexibility.
