What were the outcomes/discussions  Suggestion of a checklist for the OMB Liasion to use during the ERP discussions of first to final action; attaching an example was discussed to include:  OMB is requiring to review the draft of the final action journal manuscript (w/reproducibility data), if available. o The OMA Final Action method will be based on the Final Action journal manuscript o There may be situations where the first and final action manuscripts are the same (just waiting on feedback, ERP recommendation to final action).  This needs to be stated in the report.  A copy of ERP report where the first to final action decision was made needs to be available
