This is actually a minor modification of an existing Certificate of Achievement, so BACCC recommendation may have been made prior to their online submission process, but we do not have a copy. Thus we are pursuing the BACCC recommendation process so we have record of it.

This certificate of achievement has been in place for several years already, as noted above.
