Forms Desk
Ask what the rule requires. Every sentence cites or the desk says the sources don't answer.
Answers come only from the Forms Register, the procedure steps as the regulation writes them, the eCFR text and the customer's own filing. The desk never says whether a duty was met, whether a cost is allowable, or what an auditor will conclude.
