Code assignment possibilities discussed
(1) IB always assigns code
(2) OFF usually assigns code
- reduces mailings (OFF could return code with filing receipt)
- IB might still need to assign some codes
(3) Applicant decides on and provides code to OFF
- OFF forwards code to DAS
- no notification of code required
- applicant could use same code for all applications if desired (at own risk)
