Discussion
Should PCE repeat the same notice format and language translation approach utilized in Phase 1 (some receive only English, some receive English and full-translation Spanish, and some receive English and full-translation Mandarin)?
OR
Should PCE send all customers the same mailing piece
with only partial translations in Spanish and Mandarin?
