The written request was made more than 20 days before the TDO’s scheduled expiration and, given the temporary suspension of international mail service to Russia, OEE has attempted to deliver a copy of the renewal request to URAL by alternative means in accordance with sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations.
