Since I’m not familiar with the process, I’m curious what are the next steps? From the License Review Process page, it sounds like the “Decision Date” would be 60 days from the time I submitted the request. Does that mean I should hear something by May 3?<br>

I understand that COVID-19 has disrupted many things, and I expect it could also impact this process. Please, keep me updated, so I can set expectations.<br>
<br>
