Our goal is to avoid ePAFs having to be returned and resubmitted through the approval queue multiple times for minor issues. While ePAFS that you have already created/submitted will not contain this approval level, anything created/submitted after 09/02/12 will require it. Please be aware that any queues that you have created default values for will need to be updated. The ePAFs that will have this added-value are:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=1169 style='width:877.0pt;margin-left:-.75pt;border-collapse:collapse'><tr style='height:15.0pt'><td width=399 nowrap valign=bottom style='width:299.0pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;height:15.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>Exempt -
