718 - If a efile was previously exempted and no changes were made, does the file need to go through PAAB assessment again (re-exemption)?
-
A piece that has been deemed exempt does not require “re-exemption” as the piece does not require review. If something has changed in the marketplace to prompt the re-evaluation of whether something is exempt, than it may require a new look. Assuming that nothing has changed that may challenge the exempt ruling, no approval number is given and therefore no expiry date applies.
