    <p>The real answer is, use ePCT to generate the Request.  It will
      check your inputs and it will independently calculate whether the
      Receiving Office you are trying to use is or is not competent,
      given the inputs that you have entered.</p>
    <p>It's not too late to sign up for one of the remaining open seats
      in the <a

        Seminar</a> in scenic Summit County, Colorado.  We will be
      discussing this in the seminar.<br>
