<p class="MsoNormal">With regard to the surcharge, I\u2019ve been telling clients that the standard application fee is going up $200 per class, unless we can fit the description into the pre-approved list on the TMID. Because \u201cstandard fee plus surcharge\u201d is, in
essence, replacing the old TEAS standard filing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With regard to the insufficient information charge, the causes for it are the same as for failing to comply with TEAS-plus requirements, but I\u2019m still trying to figure out what to say there other than to emphasize that we need to have all
the required information ready when we file. <o:p></o:p></p>
