The OGD had some late-month stocking stuffers as it issued 68 full-approval actions and 16 tentative-approval actions for a total of 84 approval actions in December.  Despite the hectic holiday schedule, if these numbers are confirmed in the official totals for the month, it would mean that the OGD managed to tie the second highest number of full-approval actions from all of last Fiscal Year (FY) as well as tie the number of total approvals issued in May of FY 2024, which was the highest for last FY.

Could this signal a turnaround in the OGD’s approval output or is it just wishful thinking?  We will have to follow this closely as the new FY progresses.
