Farm Bill Section 10201 FY12 Update: Suggestion Open Period Closes Today

Hello Everyone!

This is the final day of the FY12 Suggestion submission open period. Because the process for receiving a Metastorm PPQ Farm Bill Suggestion System username and password can take up to 48 hours, we are no longer processing requests for accounts.

If you have requested an account by Thursday March 1, we will process your request. If you had contacted us by Thursday March 1 about technical difficulties preventing you from requesting an account, we will work with you until we are successful in creating an account for you. We anticipate resolving all such account requests by 5pm ET Friday March 2. Therefore, we will accept submitted Suggestions until midnight ET Sunday March 4.

Refer to the Farm Bill Web site for specific guidance on the Suggestion Submittal and Review Process and using the Metastorm PPQ Farm Bill Suggestion System.
