1.We note that the certifications provided in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 do not include
paragraph 4(b) and the introductory language in paragraph 4 referring to internal control
over financial reporting even though the transition period that allows for these omissions
has ended. Please amend the filing to provide revised certifications. Please also assure that
the paragraphs within the certifications are numbered since Item 601(b)(31) states that
the certifications must be provided exactly as stated therein. Your section 302
certifications included in your Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and
September 30, 2023 should be similarly revised. You may file abbreviated amendments
that are limited to the cover page, explanatory note, signature page and paragraphs 1, 2, 4
and 5 of the certifications. Refer to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) and
Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K.
