Ray,I think we have defined things a bit. You think that there is only one possible meaning of ‘field survey’, which links it to the need to file a RS...

Ray,Thanks for the clarification of your article. I would be happy to give my opinion regarding your hypothetical example. But first I need to ‘fill...

Thanks Ric,That was an interesting article, and seemed to be directed at my question. Yet, I think that 8765 (c) is at least ambiguous in regard to t...
