And we do have an upcoming training session from November 9th through 13th to help further assist with that compliance.

DHS currently tracks completion.
So we're in the process of enhancing our report to make sure that we are also tracking completion versus non-completion as well.
So you do or do not have the current numbers for completion?

Okay, can you share that?
And the current numbers for completion is 542.
