Then it goes on to take another category, 1 mile and 150 is OK, and for a third category if you are under 10,000 it is OK. For another category for Puerto Rico we are going to do the study.

This says they get the waiver; they do not need to go through the process in the previous bill, and now we have all these other exemptions.
