affirmation session.  We have two items to come before us this afternoon.  Before
I ask the Secretary to lead us through the items for affirmation, do any of my

please proceed.

amendments to the Commission's regulations to deal with the deliberate misconduct
of unlicensed persons.  The amendments extend the deliberate misconduct rule to
cover certificate holders and applicants for licenses or certificates of
compliance as well as employees, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants for
certificate holders and applicants.  All of you have voted to approve publication
of this final rule.  I ask you to affirm your votes.
