The explanation shall identify any circumstances that caused or contributed to the difference and describe the status of the remaining renewals.If Defendants contend that they cannot provide a date certain as to any item in paragraphs (1) or (2), they shall state the earliest date presently anticipated, identify the remaining steps necessary before completion, state which of those steps are legally required, and explain with specificity why a date certain cannot presently be provided.
