      Q2-Q3 2021: Finalize version 1 of program standards documents and initial participating states

      • US SHIP House of Delegates – representatives from states expressing interest convene to determine version 1.0 of US SHIP Program Standards Documents by majority vote.

      • Confirm the states to participate in this pilot program.

      Q4 2021: Initiate ASF-CSF Monitored Certification Program among participants
