>      Thank you for submitting the document we requested regarding your response to the July 2013 DOE review of HPS and updating your run plans. We have studied your document and are generally pleased with the efforts you are making to address the comments from the review panel. The full rate test of electronics and DAQ is still to come, but we would like to involve personnel from the JLab experimental physics division to review and monitor your progress in this area. Rolf and Volker will be in contact with you about this.

[which was given] we will grant HPS full approval for the engineering run currently envisioned for FY15. Approval for future running beyond this engineering run will be contingent on successful demonstrated performance of the HPS apparatus during the engineering run.
