Rated-Age Information

Please be careful with your rated-age submission. The WCRC has been cracking down on these lately. You only need one rated-age, but don't make the mistake I made. I erroneously used the phrase "median rated-age" which as you know means average of more than one rated-age. The WCRC requested that I send the other rated-ages. When I discussed with the WCRC representative that it was just an error and the rest of the document states that only one rated age was used, it didn't matter. The WCRC representative said that I needed to send a letter (to the COBC) explaining the error. This resulted in a 4 week delay in the processing because that is how long it takes the COBC to scan in information.
