<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">From our meeting yesterday. I took two actions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The CTAT training reference we were sent did not specify whether or not our HTSOS is still valid so I looked up the reference 13 FAM 301.4.
It states “CTAT will replace the legacy High Threat Security Overseas Seminar (HTSOS) course (HT401). Individuals who completed the HTSOS course, and have a certificate valid to September 30, 2026, do not need to complete CTAT until their HTSOS certification
expires.” I find it hard to believe that they mean “valid to” but they must mean “valid up to.” NASA may also take a different approach so I reached out to Gabe Lozano. I’m tracking down the reference Quincy made to the “end of the month” and so far the
interpretation is that it means HTSOS will be officially replaced by CTAT at that time. Stand by for more updates.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">19.4% BAERI tax and no CREST OH for EVS3s. I reached out to Mark S. and confirmed that the EVS3s are outside of the CREST umbrella so outside of the
2% OH. It doesn’t mean they won’t be rolled into CREST with the 2023 recompete so pay attention. As far as how Mark adjusted the tax, he is reducing the covered expenses to stay withing the current project totals. He says the past years have actually been
16.16% rather than 17.5% so it might not be a big impact to the bottom line. We’ll talk about it at the next EVS3 PM tag up.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>

will remain a requirement but after that approval the plan route changes slightly. After Marilyn and Florian review and approve, the owner will then send it straight to Paul Agnew for review (cc Ryan, Florian, Chris Maese (the new Estelle), Desi Bridges (the
new Marlowe) and Carolina Rudisel).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some movement on Zoom.
