I received this from the SEC.

Dear Mr. Bliss:

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Please note that we cannot predict the precise date on which a registration statement will be deemed “effective” (valid). The time period in which an S-1 registration statement may be declared effective varies and depends on a number of factors. Quite often, there is a series of interactions between the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance and the filer until the statement can be declared effective.

Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 provides that a registration statement may become effective 20 days after filing. In all but rare cases, however, companies filing registration statements (issuers) prefer to delay the 20-day period to receive comments from the SEC’s staff. There is no limit on how much time issuers may take to respond to the comments. There are instances where a registration statement is filed but never declared effective by SEC staff.

When a company's S-1 filing is declared effective by the SEC, an EFFECT notice will appear among the company's filings in the SEC's EDGAR database. The notice of effectiveness regarding Securities Act registration statements and post-effective amendments declared effective on the most recently completed business day can be found at https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=geteffect

Thank you for contacting the SEC.

Sincerely,
