we are doing the best we possibly can with processing shallow water drilling. we have used the resources. we transferred some manpower from some smaller regions in alaska and the pacific, but more importantly, we transferred within approximately 20 additional people so we now have more robust groups of people who are reviewing applications than before, but there is still a lot of work to be done. >> regarding the shower water permit, it seems like the number got to about 12 or 13 approved, but it stayed pretty flat. there were about 20 applications that had been sent back. what is the hold oup? >> i think it is more that a number of these applications are being taken back because they did not contain the information required. there is a small number of applications that are true leave pending. i think the number is three or four. if we get an incomplete applications, we have no choice but to kick them back to the company. the only applications currently on our plate for three or four. what i was told a couple days ago by our staff is that they thought it would
